In a world where both dragons and dragon shifters exist, mistaking one for the other can be a problem. This is the story of an aging dragon tamer who falls for a dragon shifter despite his best efforts not to. The dragon shifter isn’t much in favor of a liaison either, for very surprising reasons, but it seems as if neither man is in control of what happens to him. The one thing both men agree on is that they are too old for an affair – not that it matters. Fate has other ideas and, once more, proves that it is “never too late” for love.

Kithric is a dragon tamer. He prefers to tame his dragons so they return and supply him with items he can sell to make a living, rather than killing them. He is getting older though, and doesn’t expect to be able to do his job much longer. He is also lonely, having lost the man he used to work with years ago. But then everything changes. He captures a dragon shifter by mistake, and figures the man will kill him for it. Nothing could be further from the truth, although they have fun pretending that is what’s going to happen for a while. Well, fun may not be the right word, not at first, but there is definitely something between them and I was relieved to see that both of them wanted to stick around to find out exactly what that might be.

If you like dragons and dragon shifters, if you want to find out more about two men who used to think of each other as enemies before realizing there might be better ways of spending their days than fighting each other, and if you’re looking for a mystery-filled read about a truly fascinating world, then you will probably like this short story as much as I did.

As a collection of stories, I think the 2015 Advent Calendar was one of the best of its kind. I have been following these since 2009, but the number of stories I totally adored has never been this high. And even though I had my ten favorites (see individual titles for my reviews and ratings), I really liked the vast majority of the remainder as well. Each story had something to contribute, and that included (as it does every year) stories of winter traditions other than Christian. I had a ball reading these and already look forward to the 2016 collection.
