The Last Dragon by Artemis Milchon

Blurb

 The Omega Clan Lords were sent to find the keys to free their world ...

Sally has never felt truly wanted. Not by family, friends, or the few men who ever took notice of her. But a single night out changes her life forever. She is abducted from a bar into a world she couldn't have imagined, and there she meets Drake, a gorgeous stranger with a mysterious past. As she falls under his spell, she must confront every insecurity she's ever had about herself. But Drake has much more to conquer than just Sally's fears. An ancient enemy has followed him, one that threatens all of the Omega Lords, and he discovers that Sally not only holds the key to his heart, but to the very survival of the Clans.

As a relentless foe works to end the Omega for all time, Drake has to convince Sally that she is worthy of love; she in turn must accept what she once thought was impossible. The fates of all the Clans are in their hands. Failure means certain death. With a world in the balance, can one woman find the strength to believe?

My Review - ★★★★

Well, I am very glad that this book was brought to my attention by a friend. The Last Dragon was a mix of PNR, Fantasy and a wee bit of sci-fi thrown in which makes it a trifecta of awesome for me! Now I will say that since it is the first book in the series set in a pretty complex world it does take a bit to get into at first. I struggled with it in the beginning and found myself putting it down a time or two. I liked the premise of the book but there is a lot of info to take in and it did jump around a bit at times however, I really wanted to read this story so I stuck with it and I am so freaking glad that I did. It quickly smoothed out and really started rolling at around the 20% mark and let me tell you, from that point on, I. Was. HOOKED. This has everything that I want in a great read, action, adventure, romance and intrigue. There are Shifters, Elementals, Angels, and a whole bunch of other characters that I'm not exactly sure how to define, but I really want to know more about!! 

The chemistry between Drake and Sally is a real scorcher but was balanced perfectly by Drake's sweetness and gentleness towards Sally. She has some serious self confidence issues thanks to her horrible family. She first meets Drake when she is abducted by two of his "brothers" in a desperate attempt to save his life. Drake knows that she is his from the first moment he lays eyes on her (I adore how he calls her Sally-mine) but Sally can't understand how a drop dead gorgeous man like Drake would ever look twice at her. Despite her fears, Drake plans on keeping her no matter what and he is bound and determined to show her that she really is the beautiful and desirable woman that he sees. 

A vague prophecy to decipher, several murder attempts and a missing brother ramps up the intensity of the book to the point that you won't be able to put it down! After an epic ending which sets up the threads for the next character's story, I now find myself not so patiently waiting to see what Artemis has planned next for the Omegas.
