The Spark of the Dragon's Heart by Willa HartMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting Start To A Series
This reverse harem is a little bit different. It’s set in modern California and revolves around Favor a 22 year old part time student and part time trainee Private Detective. She was orphaned at a very young age and barely remembered her parents. Then she spent years in different foster homes until at age 17 her aunt and uncle found her and took her in.
Her uncle is a Private Detective and is VERY old school. She starts to work with him even before graduating high school, as his five nephews used to work with him but left to work for the competition.
At age 22 Favor is given her first case after her uncle leaves her a file and a note on her desk. She finds that she can’t investigate on her own because her client, a dragon, refuses to deal with a human. Favor isn’t a regular human. She’s a Dragon Keeper, a race of humans who support dragons.
Favor calls on her uncle’s nephews to help with the case and they come. Favor feels an instant connection to the nephews and they give her lots of support in resuming the case.
I like the idea of a Dragon Keeper, who is human but with extra abilities that can help the dragon they support. Favor is an interesting character. She grew up surrounded by love but that was cut short very early and then she had to learn lots of survival skills to cope with multiple fostering, all the time buoyed by the memories of being loved as a child.
Favor’s uncle and aunt are loving both towards each other and towards Favor. She has lots of support as she learns about the world of dragons that her parents inhabited, as her father was a dragon keeper.
This is a very slow burn RH and I am looking forward to getting to know the nephews in the next book as their individual characters are not explained in much detail in this book, except tangentially in relation to Favor.
I will definitely be reading the next book as I enjoyed the slightly different dragon shifter set up.
