The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . DRAKON’S PAST (Blood of the Drakon, #4) . . . Constance Owens has a gift that comes in hand with her line of work. She just never thought that her line of work would get her involved with a group of very unsavory people . She could not have imagined the world that she would find herself in. She could have only dreamed of having the chance at a romance that would change her life. She finds more adventure after locating a very special statue then she had ever in her life imagined possible. Constance finds that her life begins just when she thought it would end.

Nicodemus (Nic) Wilde had seen much over his lifetime. He had endured much and settled for even less. He finds that life just does not hold that much appeal to him. His brothers are finding their mates. He finds that his connection to a woman that he comes across may be a mistake. She are with people that have made it their life's mission to destroy the Drakon.

Without going back through the previous books and confirming it, I must say that I don't recall very much about Nic.  Nic and Constance coming together was more of greed than anything else. One man greedy for one thing or another tells others of a special find and it happens they bother are interested in the find. Things get a bit intense after that. Nic and Constance find that they need to rely on each other as things get dangerous for them both. .

This was the last book of this series and I was so hoping for something over the top. A way to drag me kicking and screaming to get back to my eReader. I love dragons. I love the adventure. I love their mating and find that one. I love the bonds of their connection.

I was just saddened that there was not something more. NJW does a great job with her writing and provides a direction for her series to proceed on. I was wanting more. I'm not sad, not disappointed. I just wanted more. I will have to sit down one weekend and read them all again.

Blood of the Drakon series:
Drakon’s Promise – Blood of the Drakon, #1
Drakon’s Prey – Blood of the Drakon, #2
Drakon’s Plunder – Blood of the Drakon, #3
Drakon’s Past – Blood of the Drakon, #4

BLURB
Constance Owens has a gift for finding unique items in the most unlikely places, which comes in handy since she buys and sells artifacts and antiques for a living. When she purchases a set of four dragon statues, she has no idea just how unique they are, or that finding them will thrust her into a world of secret societies, men who think nothing of kidnapping and murder to get what they want, and dragon shifters.

Nic hasn’t survived for four thousand years by letting his guard down, and he doesn’t trust anyone except his drakon brothers. The loneliness haunting him has been getting worse since all his brothers have found their mates. And when he finds the woman his drakon recognizes instantly as his fated mate, he doubts he’ll ever have what his brothers have, because it seems she’s involved with the secret society of hunters who have been hunting and capturing his kind for hundreds of years.

EXCERPT:
Constance blinked. She heard Abigail scream and some of the men yell. Nic had to be about fifteen feet long, and that wasn’t including his long, powerful tail, which was tucked around him.
He rose on his back legs and released his wings. The spread had to be at least double the size of his body.
Nic was a dragon.
She shook her head. Impossible.
Nic. Was. A. Dragon.
She’d had sex with a dragon. She was in love with a bloody dragon. How was this even possible? Then she remembered what Nic had told her about Dent and how the group he belonged to wanted to capture him and drink his blood. She couldn’t let that happen.
But it was too late. Dent fired at her again, and Nic pounced, coming down over her. She feared he might crush her with his gigantic body, but instead, he crouched above her like some big watchdog, shielding her from any further bullets.
The moment he was inside the circle, something changed. He roared as though he was in pain. She scrambled out from beneath him. “Nic? Nic, what’s wrong?” Stupid question all things considered, but this was something different, something he hadn’t been expecting.
These statues were dangerous to him.
He turned his big head toward her and opened his mouth. God, those were big teeth. All the better to eat her with. Yeah, not a pleasant thought. In this form, she’d barely be a snack.
“Run.” The word was guttural, as though it had been pulled from him.
He’d known. He’d known she’d planned to betray him, and still he was trying to save her. If she hadn’t already loved him, she would have fallen in that moment. Man or beast, it didn’t matter.

And she did. Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and settled in for another seven years.

One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first romance novel and life would never be the same.

N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
