Publisher's summary

Can a human heart withstand the flames of a dragon’s soul?

For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds while fully belonging to neither.

As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance. But it is a dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.

Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within. Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise.

Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people and mend a broken heart?

I absolutely loved this book!

While I've never really been into shifter books I thought I would give this a try since I loved the Black Rose Series. I was not disappointed!! K.L. Bone really makes you see the world she has built and you come to love the characters. I loved watching Amelia grow into the strong woman she becomes by the end. She has such compassion for others and will stand up to protect the innocent. I would definitely recommend this and I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Fantastic fantasy!

I. Loved. This. Book. So much!! Intrigue, passion, dragon shifters... this book has it all! The heroine, Amelia, was one I could easily root for, with her villains being of the purest evil you can't help but wish for their demise. The romance was a natural and spicy addition to the story, that successfully underscored the main plot rather than detract from it. Although, I'm not sure if I'm solidly on the LI's team, as there was definitely another eligible character I'm tempted to ship! Bottom line is this was a fantastic adult fantasy that I will be sure to recommend to any and all fantasy fans in the future. Now, on to book 2...

Amazing!

This audiobook was FANTASTIC. I loved it. I listened to the entire thing in one day and moved from the first to the second book right away. And within 5 minutes of starting the second book, I was on KL Bones website checking to make sure there will be a third book. I also plan on looking into more books from K.L Bone. I also really loved this narrator. She did an amazing job. And her voice fits this book perfectly. I am a huge fan!

Great story, decent Performance

I have bought and read Embracing the Dragon by KL Bone on my kindle, I wanted to listen to it over again while driving. The story is still fantastic abs beautifully told. I love it!! The narrator was good, Just slightly slow for my tastes. I did enjoy the story again. I still held my breath in some places just like when I read it the first time. I can see myself rereading it several more times I'd the future!!

Great start to the series.

I have been a fan of KL Bone since discovering The Black Rose series.
This book was no different and was a great start the Flames of Kalleen series.
I’ve never listened to an audio book before this, and I loved it. The narrator was concise and clear and the story was amazing and easy to follow along with while I did other tasks. I look forward to listening to the rest rest of the series.

5* Must Listen

Book 1 in Flames of Kalleen series

Royal dragon shifter princess blessed by the goddess of moonlight. Betrayed by sister and love. Exiled and on the run. Dragons are creatures of legend with desires to protect self and others. Need to find balance with control.

Dragon Shifters...Grief...Betrayal...Broken Heart...Dedication...Protection...Love...Family Drama...Political Upheaval...Troubled Kingdom...Battle for Control...Restitution...

Well-developed characters, some to love and some to despise. Detailed world-building. I was captivated from the beginning. And, dragon shifters! Loved the storyline and can hardly wait to see how the series continues in book 2.

"No pain. In safety shall I keep you. In my protection shall you be until the end of time."
"Protect. Save girl."
"Lies cannot harm a dragon."
"Sanctuary could become a prison."
"Embrace the creature within, but never let the dragon embrace you."
"To be with you at all costs."

Have you ever wanted to be a dragon?

I loved this book so much. Great characters and plot. Everything you want from a fantasy romance novel. K.L. Bone never disappoints with her page turning novels. In this one a young princess is forced to go out into the unknown and find herself. Find her strength and become the dragon in order to right some terrible wrongs. K.L. Bone's amazing talent for details make you feel like you are the dragon flying high in the sky and the incredible strength it takes to control it. Cheers Kristen you have done it again. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
