Love in The Time of Dragons: A Novel of the Light Dragons By Katie MaCalister
Tully Sullivan is just like any other suburban mom—unless you count the days every year that she zones out and turns base metals in to gold. Those are weird.
And now she’s woken up in a strange place surrounded by strange people who keep insisting they’re dragons—and that she’s one too. But not just any dragon. She’s Ysolde de Bouchier, a famed figure from dragon history.
Tully can’t shape-shift or breathe fire, and she’s definitely not happy being sentenced to death for the misdeeds of a dragon mate she can’t remember. All Tully knows is that she wants her son back. So she’ll have to find a way to solve the crimes of a past she has no memory of living…
I was so excited to read this book! I love dragon novels so I really wanted to like this. Sadly, I didn't. I was confused many times throughout the book and had to go back to see what I had missed. Tully irritated me with her acceptance of the way her husband treated her. I also wanted to feel some kind of mother/son chemistry between her and Brom. Other than the obnoxious hugs and kisses from her, there wasn't anything I considered deep love. I can see that the author was trying to have a little comedy in the book, but to me it just didn't fit. Half-way through the book I wanted to quit. Overall I give this book 2 stars.
