Determined Prince is a good start to the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter series. It is quite different from the Dragon Lords series. The Determined Prince takes place in the present whereas the Dragon Lords takes place in a far away future. The story does explain the separation of the shifters and mankind and why the shifters are returning to Earth to save their species.
Prince Kyran has persuaded both dragon-shifters and cat-shifters that to save their races, it was time to return to Earth to find their mates. It was kind of funny when Prince Kyran and his royal companions tried to assimilate to Earth culture. Much of what they learned are from television and as any readers/listeners know, television communication are a bit slow between planets.
The only thing I didn’t like was when Eve decided to have a one night stand with Kyran but ended up on Kyran’s home planet, Qurilixen, she went screaming before seeing her surrounding. I would rather have her be confrontation with Kyran and than have a panic attack after she noticed the three suns and that she isn’t on Earth anymore.
As any story, there would be opposition of finding mates back on Earth to bring back to Quilixen. I’m glad that Eve’s street smart was giving her subtle warning. I definitely would like to see this conflict to evolve in this series.
The narrator, David Brenin did a pretty good job with Kyran trying to communicate the Earth language with Eve. Kyran sounded wooden but it isn’t everyday that the shifters decided to return to Earth after hundreds of years have passed by.
Determined Prince is a good place to start with the shifters returning back to Earth. It would be interesting to find out the history from the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter series to the Dragon Lords and Vars series .
I received this audiobook from the author and decided to write an unbiased review for the book. I was not compensated or influence in any way for writing this review.
