It is always fun when an author treats her fans to something extra; a character interview, a deleted scene or even an extended epilogue available only on their website. These small tidbits make the reading experience that much more enjoyable as we get more information about people and places we loved so well. Thea Harrison…
Lorenda Christensen is back with the second entry in her DRACIM series, and I found Dancing With Dragons even stronger than its predecessor. Picking up right where Never Deal With Dragons left off, this installment follows Carol Jenski, a secondary character from the first book, on a snarky and romantic adventure of her own. In…
At RWA, I heard Never Deal With Dragons described as a debut combining urban fantasy with a touch of humor. While I’ll admit to suffering from a bit of series fatigue, I do have a soft spot for unique-sounding urban fantasy and so I tried this one out of curiosity. While there was a critical…
If you’ve become jaded toward serial paranormal romances, you should give the genre one last try. Caged Warrior is an excitingly fresh beginning to what promises to be a quality new series. The story is complex and demanding, the hero is both brutal and somehow innocent, and the premise, well, that’s just insane. First the…
When I first saw this book as an option for a review book, I got very excited. I leapt at the chance since the series had been near the top of my TBR for a while. Maybe it should have stayed there a little longer to age to perfection, like fine wine. In Ember’s Kiss…
If you want a funny series to read, you must pick up G.A. Aiken’s Fantasy series about a family of Dragon Shifters. Though the humor may be an acquired taste, it is one that I definitely have. These crazy dragons are laugh out loud funny and the latest installment is no exception. Eibhear is the…
Despite loving to reread books, I have a strange quirk. If I start a series in the middle, I rarely go back and reread others from the series. Because of that, I put off reading Dragon’s Moon hoping for time to read the previous books first. I never found the time, so I had to…
This is a book I would describe as way too busy. Though it’s action packed, there’s just too much to deal with in one story – from dragons, other worlds, kidnapping, scattered references to the legend of Camelot, to constantly running from things out to get them, I was tired when I finished reading. Talk…
There’s a lot of urban fantasy and paranormal romance out there on shelves now, but a good fantasy romance is harder to find. Readers of Breath of Fire won’t find werewolves, vampires, or edgy, streetwise leads, but if you like dragons and epic, otherworldly tales, this book tells a wonderful story. I can only summarize…
Though I don’t really generally care for shapeshifter romances, dragon romances appeal to me because they’re often mythical, somewhat animalistic, and incredibly sensual. The Dragon Master combines all these elements with unique characters to make an interesting tale. Working on her MBA and building up her family’s restaurant business doesn’t leave Carol Juan much time…
