Release Blitz! Mikhail By Lauren Smith

A dragon never leaves his hoard unguarded. His heart is another matter. The second eldest in an ancient line of Russian dragon shifters, Mikhail Barinov had one job: protect one of the family hoard of jewels. Distracted by the English virgin queen Elizabeth, who was as dazzling as she was devious; he lost everything. Five centuries of exile later, news that a construction crew has unearthed a massive trove of gold and jewels sends him racing to London, determined to steal back his family’s treasure…and his honor. Professional gemologist Piper Linwood can’t wait to bury herself in her newest project, evaluating a hoard of Elizabethan-era treasure. But both her life and career are threatened when a mysterious, brooding man with a dangerous smile—and an even more dangerous kiss—snatches the lot. Unwillingly swept along for the ride, Piper discovers Mikhail is no mere thief. And the dragon on his back is more than a tattoo. It’s a living, breathing extension of a bad boy she’s finding harder and harder to resist. But his heart is a treasure she can never own…because to save her career, she’ll have to betray his trust.  

Mikhail is the second book in the series and I will be honest it took me a bit to really get into it.  I had loved the previous book so I was extremely excited to start Mikhail and while it was a good read I think somewhere along the line it started to have so much going on it took away from the relationship between Mikhail and Piper.  For me that was what made me not love this one as much.  I wanted that romance between them to shine, especially when we learn of what happened to Mikhail in his past. 

Paranormal romance is my all-time favorite genre, and I love shifter romances.  While this one didn’t live up to my expectations it still was overall an enjoyable read and has me looking forward to the next book.
