Summary: 3 Stars
DRAGON HEAT - ALLYSON JAMES
I had read a few books by Jennifer Ashley - AKA Allyson James - and I decided to give her a try. Lately, I have been reading on mostly paranormal/erotic romance and I picked this up at the recommendation of a friend.
Just like a few reviewers have stated - I liked this book ok but I just didn't LOVE it... I kept reading because I don't like to leave books unread - unless it is a total dud.
I will admit the first chapters were hard to get into. I liked most of the characters.. The Golden Dragon, Caleb was great! Loved him! Lisa.. well ... it is kind of hard to say without giving out the whole story. I liked "her" character well enough.. However what the author added made the soundness forged between the H/H rather insubstantial. Not being able to create validity of their remaining together.
The side characters were great though. Loved Malcolm and his relationship with Saba. Looking forward in reading their story.
The plot was a bit convoluted with Dragons, Incubi, good witches, bad witches... Though the Dragon characters were very well developed, their evolution and their home Dragonspace very well done. The dialogue between some of the characters was amusing - especially the well placed gibes between Caleb and Malcolm and Lisa's friends in China town.
The sexual intensity was not as I had hoped and I felt that the much awaited love scenes were hurried. Also a very confusing scene of Lisa and Caleb mating in dragonspace, which I felt made their intimate relationship a bit too far stretched.
I know a lot of readers reviewed this book with enthusiasm - but it was somewhat lacking for me. I will give The Black Dragon a try to see if this series can be redeemed for me!
Summary of Dragon Heat (Dragon Series, Book 1)
Lisa Singleton has an unusual roommate-a fifty-foot dragon named Caleb who has glittering scales and a bad attitude. Little does she know that Caleb is actually a powerful warrior sent to protect her from those out to steal her magic and destroy the world. Or that Caleb can take the human form of a sexy hunk. Now, if he doesn't stop distracting her with those gorgeous bedroom eyes, they may not have time to stop their enemies before all of existence is wiped out. At least Lisa and Caleb will have savored every last minute.Science Fiction & Fantasy Books
