Dragon Awakened by Jaime Rush

Blurb: Ruby Salazaar wants answers . . . and revenge. Her uncle has just been murdered before her eyes and the name he utters with his final breath - Cyntag - leads Ruby into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. She soon learns that the dark, sexy Cyntag Valeron knows more about her than she does herself.

Ruby changed Cyn's life before she even knew who he was. Now she charges into his life, a beautiful woman full of fire and questions. Cyn knew this day would come, yet he couldn't foresee the danger - and desires - Ruby would bring with her. He can teach her how to harness her newly awakened powers. But there is one force neither of them can control . . .

Review: Ruby Salazar is introduced into a world she thought she had no knowledge of outside the fairytales told her (through a book) by her uncle, Moncrief. Upon her uncle's death, she turns to the one man Moncrief didn't want her to meet - Cyntag Valeron.

As Ruby finds out more about her heritage and past, she isn't sure she is able to trust Cyn. She has no choice as people want to end her life and Cyn is the only one who can protect her. Sparks fly between them and develop into something more.

Dragon Awakened was an interesting read, although I have to admit to liking Cyntag more than I did Ruby. She is a good character and well written, it is simply a personal preference.

I enjoyed the premise put forth by Ms. Rush and look forward to seeing what comes next!
