Synopsis (Goodreads):
Like being stranded on a desert alien planet wasn't enough...

All I ever wanted was someone to love. Now my best friend is knocked up by the only hunky alien-dragon available and I can't tell anyone how totally jealous I am. The handful of humans who survived our ship's crash are locked in a struggle to live in sweltering heat with dwindling supplies.

The others are taking the life giving, addictive epis but if I take it that means I'm stuck here. Forever. Which also means the chance of being rescued by a knight in shining armor would be zero.

If that weren't enough, I go and get myself kidnapped and he's another big, sexy, alien-dragon warrior.
Thoughts on Dragon's Mate: I really like the idea behind this series. I don't love the characters so much, but part of that is I feel like we don't get to delve into more than their surface thoughts. Which is weird because we're in Jolie's head A LOT, but I just don't feel like I really got a handle on her as a character.

Like, she's supposed to be smart and she is supportive of Callie for the most part, but she's also kind of anti-social and, as a scientist, I felt like she should have understood the ramifications of not taking the epis better than she did. I mean, I guess she made it clear she was willing to risk things (aka, her life) for the chance to get off-planet eventually, but...she could literally chart the effect the planet was having on her and she still refused to take the stuff.

Plus, wandering off to check things ALONE on a dangerous planet doesn't seem like the smartest idea in the world.

Sverre, on the other hand, seems like an upstanding dude. Sure, sure, he made a few mistakes with Jolie and he's gripped by instinct more often than he wants to be, but he's a good guy under the snarling and growls. Plus, he has a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to knowing how the city the humans have settled in runs.

Again, I like the series and I'll be continuing it, but I want a little more as far as the characters are concerned. Mainly the human characters. I can't quite pinpoint what I want for them, but something. SOMETHING.
