3.5-4 stars

This was a pretty good story. I was a bit leery of both MCs but they seemed to work well together and it all worked out nicely in the end.

Keita is a dragoness and the youngest daughter of the dragon Queen. Keita isn't a fighter like most of her siblings and gives everyone the idea that she's shallow, flighty and sleeps with tons of men. The image Keita portrays is mostly true but there is more depth to her that she doesn't allow others to see.

Ragnar is a Lightning dragon from the Northern territories and is the leader of his clan. Ragnar is both a warrior and mage and is cunning in his efforts to keep his people secure and safe.

Ragnar had kidnapped Keita a couple of years before in an effort to broker a deal with her mother. The deal went through regardless of Keita being part of it and Keita was pissed off because not only did her mother not bother to barter for her, Ragnar didn't fall for her simpering female act that got most men to fall in line for her. They didn't see each other again for a couple years but Ragnar is summoned south by the dragon Queen and happens across Keita on the trip...just as she's about to be hung by a local Lord for a crime she claimed she didn't commit. Ragnar isn't thrilled about it but he does help Keita and she accompanies his group on their journey south.

Things between Ragnar and Keita don't escalate into a relationship right away...Keita wouldn't have an issue bedding him but Ragnar isn't interested in the shallow, flighty brat that Keita seems to be. The longer they travel together though, the more depth Ragnar sees in Keita and he realizes that she isn't just flitting around aimlessly but actually seems to have a purpose. Ragnar and Keita do eventually become involved but Keita has an issue with "being tied down" and she makes it quite clear to Ragnar that she'll never be ok with being officially "claimed". Ragnar knows he wants Keita so he helps her with her mission and figures he'll have to work on her emotionally without letting her know he wants something more permanent. Things do get worked out and although she still has an issue with the official "claiming" Keita and Ragnar do end the story together in what appears to be a HEA.

This was a pretty enjoyable story. I didn't really like Keita in the earlier books or in the beginning of this one. She grew on me as the story went but she will never be a "well liked" heroine for me. Speaking of which...I used to like Talaith (MC from book #2) but it's like Aiken is trying to make her the worst mother ever! WTH?!?! Ragnar had me a bit leery in the previous book but I was pretty sure he was a good guy by the end of it. In this book, I liked him a lot and thought he did well at handling Keita. Overall, I liked the characters and thought the story was very good. I'd recommend this story/series. :)

* note - I listened to the audio version of this story and the narrator did a good job.

Last Dragon Standing Dragon Kin GA Aiken Books Reviews

First the books were just fun. Interestingly complex characters doing their thing. Then the characters got more complex, because-ya know—family, right?! Then the plot that follows the entire series twists a bit, and stuff starts getting real. Then this book. I laughed. I sniffled a little. I sat slack jawed as the huge plot twists hit. I sat back with my iPad in my lap and stared into space for a bit. I’m gunna go read the next book. Right. Fricken. Now.
Last Dragon Standing is the fourth book in the Dragon Kin series. I've enjoyed the series up to this point. But I had a hard time with this book. I didn't hate it, it was just really slow in parts and Keita the Viper has never been one of my favorite characters. But I did love Ragnar, the lightning dragon, and getting an update on all the rest of the dragons and their mates.

This story picks up about two years after the last book, What A Dragon Should Know.

Keita plays her role as the royal she is to a tee. And oh boy does she play a dangerous game. The fifth born and second daughter of the dragon Queen Rhiannon, she is spoiled, whiney, privileged and just plain annoying. That's Keita. She's used to batting her eyelashes and pouting a bit to get whatever and whomever she wants. Until she is captured by the Northern dragon Ragnar the Cunning.

Ragnar has taken over as ruler of the Northern plains after the death of his father. He's still putting things in order, and is quite put out when he is ordered by the Southland Queen, to personally return her daughter to her. To say there is no love lost between the two royals would be an understatement. But things change when the Queen asks Ragnar to assist Keita in a covert operation. One that just might get one or both of them killed.

I liked Ragnar from the first time we met him in the last book. Even being the liar that he was, it was clear he was one of the good guys. And he's brought along his brother and cousin, who are great as well.
Keita on the other hand, I've never liked a female character who relies on her looks and playing the dumb card to get what she wants. And it's really over the top in this story.

I had a hard time getting through the first half of the book. It was really slow. But it picked up when they return to the Southlands and Keita's family, as they prepare for the coming war. The end of the book nicely sets up the next book.

I would highly recommend reading the series in order. There is lots of missing pieces to the story if you don't. Mainly the story behind the birth's of the human Queen, Annwyl the Bloody's twins. And why war is coming to these dragons and their mates. And it is a great series.
Did I mention that I loved this series? I love that each book doesn't just focus on those mentioned in previous books but they also keep telling the story of those we already met. Ragnar and Keita are wonderful characters and their story is unique but familiar as the others. We all know Keita as the sister that is a little loose with her sexual favors, to say the least but we find that she is so much more and her character is so much more complex. Ragnar wants to believe she is just so superficial but finds the more well rounded character that she really is. And we met Ragnar in the previous books and only got to know him as a supporting character. In this book we get to know him on a deeper level. I love that there is so much humor in these books and I find myself just laughing out loud and enjoying every minute. It's almost as if this family is like any of ours, with differing characters and personalities but they are dragons. I find that I never get enough and have read each one again whenever a new book is released. They just don't come out fast enough for me. This is just an enjoyable book and series. There is an occasional F*** word and lots of sexual encounters but it doesn't take anything away from the story. The story draws you in and keeps you enthralled. I recommend this series to any who love not just the paranormal or fantasy but to be able to laugh at family dynamics too.
