Dauntless (Luckless, #2) by Cari Z.

I've got say this wasn't my favorite.  In general it felt like an interlude and not a whole story even if in a way we got what I was missing in the previous one "Luckless" (also novella length) - seeing Evan and Lee / Ladon as a formed couple and how they manage life in Forge together with Lee's son Jason. 

In the previous installment we've met Evan Luck, or as he was referred to - Luckless - for losing his dragon. The same dragon his father and grandfather rode. When he came to Forge it was expected he would find a dragon to bond with, but until that happened, he was basically shunned. When he met Lee Caldwell he didn't know half of it.. 

Luckless (Luckless, #1) by Cari Z.

Though I liked this novella I can't say that I loved it. Maybe it was the dystopian setting I'm not that fond of, or my greediness wanting MORE of our couple. There is a friendship buildup but I was missing the romantic part. It was under the surface, but I would have liked to have something more substantial. 

Evan's last name is Luck, but everyone calls him Luckless - after he has lost his Dragon. She has been with his father and grandfather Dragon before him. Losing her was the worst experience of his life and he is still not over it. He is broken. His emphatic ability, the one that enabled him to bond with a dragon in the first place has shattered after her death.
