Review YA : A Crown of Flames (Dragonriders of Skala #3) by Pauline Creeden, Melinda R. Cordell
**spoilers**
This is the volume where love re-makes Dyrfinna's world. Ibn, the Iberian envoy to King Varinn's court, once had the same problem with his spell-singing that Dyrfinna has suffered from. As she recovers from a death blow delivered by the evil Nauma, healed of it miraculously by Gefjin and the magical roses, he shares his methods with her of affinity song.
There is a council of dragons, who reclaim their community powers from their long alliance with humans, for the good of the entire Earth. Then with the help of the gods, there manifests a solution to the imbalance of the dark powers, in the form of the flaming crowns.
You will be glad to know that Gefjin and Dyrfinna's sword friends Skeggi and Reyjna are not dead after all. And once all this is over, Dyrfinna resolves to have the most fun possible in her world! and it involves quite a lot of kissing.

Review: Rend by Roan Parrish
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2657096273
As I am a healing healer myself, I identified much more with this book than I did with the recovering addict musicians in Parrish's prequel, 'Riven'. And you will be permanently turned on by the nearly BDSM level situations this married couple enjoy.
Matt was abandoned at a young age, spit out without many coping skills as an adult into New York City, all he's ever known. Yet he's made his way as a wounded healer, helping those who are in the same position he was such a short while ago. He's drawn like metal to a magnet by musician Rhys and his effortless joy. But like all humans Rhys has insecurities and they rush into a 'forever' bond.
Despite their mutual desire to make it work, Matt's never been able to imagine himself as a happy and loving 'normal'. Even his best friend from the orphanage left him to live in Florida eventually. Even though they have fabulous sex, he's haunted by fears of sabotaging their marriage and poor at articulating his true feelings, thinking he always has to be pleasant. It takes therapy, a dog, and a stubborn dom husband and his ex-addict musician friends to ease Matt into the happily ever after he can hardly believe is real. But it is. He's part of a family for the first time.
And the moral of the story is, love is all around, no need to waste it.
