Lady Avelyn flees her unwanted bethrothal to an elderly warlord only to be returned to the court by fearsome Elrik, Lord of Roul and discovers that life with her could be his saving.

It was a fun read with good characters.½

Enjoyable book to read around Halloween! I liked the third story, by Christine Merrill, the most.

This book was okay but not one of her better stories, was disappointed with it.

In Lynn’s paranormal romance novel, Ariel Johnson, under the threat of harm to her brother, breaks out of her existence and into the stronghold of a changeling’s ancestral home. Cameron Drake is irresistible and Ariel struggles to resist the desire he lights within her. When she unintentionally awakens the beast within him, he fights to resist the need to make her his mate. What holds him back? The knowledge that she is the creation of a vengeful sorcerer who wants his family dead; now pair that with a curse and choices are not easy to come by.

"Dragon's Lair" is Denise Lynn's debut story for Harlequin's paranormal Nocturne line. Her tale involves dragons, sorcery, and love lost and found.

Alexia fell in love with Braeden hard and fast. She learned to live with his passion for work and challenge, his neatness, and even his magic. But when she suffered a miscarriage after a suspicious car accident, their marriage fell apart and she ran. Now pages from a mysterious ancient grimoire belonging to Braeden's family have appeared on her desk along with strange voices in her head and men trying to kidnap her. When her home is firebombed, she has nowhere left to turn...except Braeden.

Braeden has never lost track of Alexia, she's still his mate. But with danger to his family looming ever closer, can he trust her?

Interesting story, very hot sex, and a cool twist on dragon magic. My only beef was the antagonistic relationship between the hero and heroine. Their lack of communication made it hard for me to believe in their love. I still enjoyed "Dragon's Lair" and will keep an eye out for more by Denise Lynn.
