Summary
Can a human heart withstand the flames of a dragon’s soul?
For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds while fully belonging to neither.
As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance. But it is a dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.
Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within. Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise.
Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people and mend a broken heart?

Great Start & Vivid World Building
This was a really good start to a new dragon shifter series! Amelia is the youngest daughter from the previous dragon queen which leaves her torn between her humanity and dragon form. When she met Stephen, she gave up the battle and focused on her love for him, but unfortunately her sister has her sights set on him as well. The story starts off with Amelia’s sister’s coronation which the queen chooses to sentence her to the temple to be a voice for the gods, a fate worse than death. She disobeys her sister’s orders and chooses to go to the northern mountains to be an exile and live out the rest of her days. But the people being treated poorly by the new queen have other plans and she must choose to help them or remain an exile. The world building that KL created was absolutely amazing along with the vivid descriptions and scenery. I loved the midievil feel of this book with the characters as knights, dragons, damsels in distress, queens, and princesses. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Kylie did a great job with this narration! Her voice drew me in from the start and her English accent was perfect for this book. I liked the different voices she used for each character and the flawless flow between them made it easy to distinguish who was talking.

Thrilling
I really enjoyed this dragon shifter story. KL Bone made a fantastic new world and I would love to spend more time in it. The main character goes through so much betrayal yet she still can't believe her people when they tell her how they are suffering and of all the injustices happening. Meanwhile, she ends up meeting her mate which is another great story by itself. In the end let me just say I love a heroine who can kick butt. I look forward to reading more from Bone. The narrator in this story did a great job bringing life to these characters. It was a perfect pace and time as well.

Embracing the Dragon
I thought my sisters and I had terrible sibling rivalry, but to banish your younger sister to a life worse than death but (damn we were angels). This book is a dragon shifter story of strong and courageous princess. Amelia has to decide whether or not to help the innocent people. I will leave the story there because I don’t like to give away the story.
This book is well written and amazingly narrated. This narrator does an excellent job with the characters. It’s an absolute pleasure listening to this story. I can’t wait for the second book so had to buy it right way.
I definitely recommend this book.

loved it!
I absolutely loved this Story! I could actually see this as a movie! Such imagination you have KL Bone!
I loved the Big Cliffhanger ending too, I shall be eagerly awaiting the next book!
Kylie Stewart has a very clear and a pleasant, easy to listen to reading voice. Personally I would have liked more characterisation in her voices for differentiation between characters.

Fascinating characters and world. Great narration
This story and these characters were beautifully brought to life by Kylie Stewart.
I found it to be a really interesting story. The idea behind the whole thing is not one I have come across in this way before. The customs of the world intrigued me. I loved watching Amelia as she worked through everything that was thrown at her. I spent time cheering her on in my head. It's a great start to a series.

pretty good but wanted more
I really enjoyed this book. Honestly give me dragons any day and I'm pretty invested. I really liked Amelia's character. She was strong and had her morals aligned but was very vulnerable as well. Traits like this really help make a character more relatable. While most of the story was predictable I was definitely engaged the entire time. Even though I liked the story and it was engaging, I just felt like nothing really happened. I wished there was more to the story. It went by very fast. I also wasnt a big fan of the other characters back stories. They were important to the story but I feel like they could have been done through conversation instead of chapters. This would have opened up the story line for something more. Although there were a couple of things that didn't work for me, overall I really enjoyed this. with how the book ended I'm very curious on how the rest of the series will turn out.
Audio review (please note this does not affect my rating of the book)
I really enjoyed the narration of this book. The voice as really nice to listen to and I felt like she emulated Amelia well. My only issue was there wasn't much difference of affliction in the other characters voices. I really had to make sure I was following the conversation and who was actually speaking. I would still recommend this audio though.

She has courage and fortitude
I am reviewing Embracing the Dragon by K.L. Bone and narrated by Kylie Stewart for @Audiobook Obsession.
This is my first book by this author and I loved it.
The story is of tragedy, betrayal, love loss and love gained.
How one sisters cruelty can cause another sister to go against all she believes in to right the wrongs her sibling provoked. Also to realize that the man she loved only used her to further his own gain, by betraying her with her sister.
