    This book was an amazing continuation of this series. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I was drawn into the world that has been expertly created, and it's not one that I want to leave. The characters are amazing and I think Tor is my favorite. Trust me, you'll understand once you read this book. I love all the characters though. This series is amazing and they do build off of one another so I would recommend reading them in order though I think you would be ok without doing so. I do believe that it would heighten the reading experience and enjoyment of the story and the series. There is plenty of action to keep the reader occupied and surprises too. I love the fact that we get little glimpses of the past characters and of course being introduced to new ones that are important for future books. I am utterly intrigued and love this series. I've already got the next book and I can't wait to start it and continue this series. I highly recommend this book and this series.

    I read this book out of order because this author doesn't understand how to label a series but I really liked this book. I already knew there would be a HEA, because I read another book, Wings of Change, first (turns out that was really the 5th book in the series and this is book 3). Loved the dragon. He's just a big kid and seems really fun. I also always like a strong woman and she was a good match for this dominate guy.

    To fully understand what is happening, you need to be reading the books in order. Normally, the dragon and rider relationships requires the rider to find a mate before the dragon can. However, what happens if the dragon doesn’t need a rider - as in being able to change forms between a dragon and a human? While the other books ended up with triads, this one was simply a couple.

    If you don’t know the culture, a human rider must find a mate before their dragon is allowed to. Eventually, this means that the 2 dragons who mate bring their rider into the family relationships. So there is usually 2 male riders (one from each dragon), that share the one female that bonded to the rider who loved her first. While not required, there hasn’t been any female who had a problem with having 2 guys to care for her - yet. The ménage situation is addressed in such a natural way for the culture, that it’s easier to believe. The ability of mental communication with the dragons and people makes it not just sex; it’s part of the existence for this magical people. Definitely start at the beginning of the series to understand the mindset. The emotional and spiritual connections make a difference in reading the typical ménage romance, and the way this family unit of riders and dragons functions.

    Tor, a rare Ice Dragon, is hatched by the lost princess, Lana. When they save a royal Black Dragon from certain death, they find love, family and their destinies.

    As an avid fan of Bianca D'Arc's Dragon Knights series, I bought the third release in that series, The Ice Dragon the very morning it was released and read it the same night. I was not disappointed. D'Arc manages to keep the story fresh and yet satisfyingly familiar simultaneously, with just the right balance of sweet and sexy bound by an engaging story.

    While some authors may be tempted to stick to a successful formula for a series, D'Arc's imagination refuses to settle for such trite manipulation. It is rare that a story actually manages to surprise me, and yet this story includes a delightful twist that caught me off-guard. In spite of the surprise element, the twist was a very natural culmination to the story, and never once seemed contrived.

    As usual, D'Arc also strews the ground with breadcrumbs for future stories in the Dragon Knights series, leaving her fans breathless in anticipation for the next story! Indeed, the reader is left with the certainty that the author is just as excited to see what delights this world has in store as the reader is!

    A funny,moving and sexy book. It stands alone as well as being part of a series. I hope that we'll hear the stories of Tor and the others in the future.
