SBD: Savage Dragon

As I mentioned yesterday, I downloaded several ebooks based on people I met or chatted with at RWA.  I read one of them today, a Silhouette Nocturne Bite, Savage Dragon by Anna Hackett.

They call him the Savage Dragon: Rordan Sarkany, knight of the Order of the Dragon, charged with tracking and destroying those who let their dragon blood turn them into beasts. In the wilds of Hungary, Rordan hunts one such creature—along with fellow warrior Kira Bethlen.

Both Rordan and his inner dragon desire Kira...and she can't resist Rordan's dangerous allure. But even if she succumbs to their attraction, can she ever forgive him for slaying her beloved brother?

 

This is the first Nocturne Bite that I've read; I can't tell how it compares to others in terms of pacing and content. 

What did I like about this book?  Well, it's got dragons in it.  How could I not like it?  .

What was the downside of this book?  The fact that it is a novella.  It felt like there was a lot of backstory and worldbuilding that just didn't fit within the word count. Based on the info at Hackett's website, it looks like more books and/or stories will be coming, and the backstory may eventually be filled in.  But in this first installment, a lot of the relationship development was skipped; in order to get around it, the hero and heroine have a backstory, physical attraction, and a fated mates thing. 

Give away?

I won a tote bag full of beach-related items from the fabulous K.A. Mitchell.  Among other things, the tote included towels, sunscreen, thermos, glasses, goggles, and a copy of each of her books in print.  However, since I purchased a copy of Diving in Deep at the Literacy Signing, I now have a copy to spare. 

I'd like to pass it on to a reader who would like to try m/m romance, but who hasn't figured out where to start.

I also have a bunch of other books from the various publisher signings that I'll be giving away as well, assuming I figure out how best to do so. 

Suggestions about the best way to do this?
