What really shone for me about this book was the setting. I know shapeshifter romance is very popular still, but after reading a lot of it years ago I don't think I'd go for a book that didn't have a twist. Ancient culture held in stasis for a thousand years below the surface of Mars? Yes... yes, that'll do. Not to mention the backdrop of inept macho corporate culture that plagues Josie from page one to almost the end—I could immediately sigh along with her troubles.
The fact that the love interest was an imperialist dragon shifter didn't get in the way of the story being surprisingly tender. The romance may have bloomed a bit too soon for me, but it made sense in context; I just wanted there to be slightly more on both characters. Action sequences were fantastic and had me at the edge of my seat. The novel sets up for what promises to be a fascinating series of standalones with a lot of possibility; I'll be buying the next book.
