She recently moved to a realm full of dragon shifters…


Mia knew about the things that go bump in the night long before the world fell into chaos. As a human artist living in a world full of dragons, she should feel out of place. But she’s never felt more at home here—until an obnoxious, bossy dragon shifter makes it clear she doesn’t belong. His cruel words dredge up memories of the past she wants to forget.


And turned his world upside down.


As a former warlord turned assassin, dragon shifter Tiber has never been great with women—and the moment he meets his mate, he sticks his foot in his mouth in the worst way. Now she hates him and he has no idea how to make things right—especially since every time he opens his mouth, he makes things worse. When it’s clear that someone wants to get rid of the feisty human, he dedicates his life to keeping her safe. If anyone wants to get to her, they’ll have to go through him—and he’s made a living out of destroying his enemies. Whether Mia likes it or not, she’s his to protect and the grumpy dragon will do whatever it takes to prove they’re fated to be together.

I loved this book! Katie Reus delivers another addition in her Ancients Rising series that’s packed with heart, heat, and humor. And this time, it’s all about a grumpy dragon shifter who absolutely fumbles meeting his fated mate.

Tiber was all gruff edges and protective instincts, but it was his dragon that totally stole my heart. His inner beast had a blunt, hilarious way of expressing what he wanted (usually Mia), and his interactions with Tiber brought so much unexpected charm to an otherwise hardened, broody assassin. The dynamic between the two was one of my favorite parts. It gave Tiber depth and made him genuinely fun to root for, especially once he goes all in on protecting Mia.

Mia started out understandably guarded, still carrying wounds from the past and trying to find her place in this world of dragons. But watching her grow, stand her ground, and fully step into her strength was so satisfying. I was cheering for her every time she held her own and especially when she faced her greatest adversary.

This is what I would consider a bit of a slow burn although the attraction was instant. The tension simmered the whole time, and when things finally started clicking between them, it was intense and so worth the wait. You feel the bond growing between them through the little moments just as much as the big ones.

Another thing I really loved was the warmth that surrounded everything. This world is full of friendships that feel real. The banter, the teasing, the way they all have each other’s back. It made me want to hang out in their world just a little longer. That sense of found family really added heart to the action and romance.

If you love dragon shifters, fated mates, protective heroes who grovel hard, and heroines who come into their own power, Ancient Warlord hits every mark. Steamy, funny, heartfelt. I couldn’t put it down.
