Review: Alpha Dragon’s Ferret by Hawke Oakley
SYNOPSIS:
Will a new twist in the Dragonfate Games spark love—or ruin two brothers’ chances forever?
Aurum has a problem. A huge, dragon-sized one—his identical twin brother, Saffron. Before the Dragonfate Games, they were thick as thieves. Now their arguments over fated mates are intensifying. While Saffron swoons over romance, Aurum’s sick of it. He’s losing his brother, and he’ll do anything to stop it… even if it means sabotaging their shared season of the Dragonfate Games.
Mylo has a problem. Well, maybe a few. One: he’s painfully shy. Two: he’s chubby. Three: his parents forcibly entered him into a popular TV dating show. Four: he’s the only omega who can tell Aurum and Saffron apart. Five: that really pisses off Aurum, and he’s cute when he’s mad…
When Aurum confronts the plump little weasel about his meddling, he loses his cool… and his mind. Because Mylo does weird, magical things to him—and Aurum’s not sure how long he can resist.
REVIEW:
This story was a pleasant surprise. I was nervous going into Aurum’s journey because he has been rather prickly about finding love, a sharp contrast to his twin, Saffron. But his story ended up being unique, chaotic, and fun.
The book was a great balance of Aurum and Mylo’s relationship but also learning more about how Aurum and his brothers came to be on the island. I liked learning these little tid-bits as they have been questions in the back of my mind. Where are your parents? How do you have the money you do? So we are finally getting some answers. We even get more Viol in this book and I cannot wait for his story, seriously I need it badly.
In terms of romance I liked that Aurum and Mylo bonded over gaming. We had more insta-love that is to be expected with this series and the fated-mates thing but that’s okay for me. I also loved that Mylo was taken in by Alaric and Poppy. Poppy and Mylo are kindred spirits and it was a great balance to see. My only complaint is I would have liked to see Mylo grow in confidence and work through his issues with his weight and insecurities. That was kinda of brushed over in this book and in that aspect I thought Mylo deserved a little more. Now to patiently wait for the next one!
