Book Reviews of the Dragon Heat (Dragon Series, Book 1)
Customer Review: Enough to make me want Book 2...Today! =)
Summary: 4 Stars
Dragon Heat caught my attention for several reasons: the book cover, my recent foray into reading fantasy, and the comments on the back cover made me think of another recent series I read and absolutely loved - Stephanie Rowe's "Must Love Dragons," "Date Me, Baby, One More Time," and "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Hot." So I was looking forward to and definitely prepared to love this story. It didn't happen for me until about the last 100 pages or so.
The characters were colorful and the imagery was beautiful! I would like to have known more about "Dragonspace" though. I get that it's `home' for dragons and they miss the freedom of flying, breathing fire, etc. and yes, home usually always holds a special place in our heart, but there's no family, friends, anything there waiting for them. Why is the pull so strong for them to return or want to be there?
I'm also someone who loves for the cover or insert page images to represent the characters in the book. And while Caleb does that marvelously well, unfortunately, he never made me *feel* anything for him other than he was a nice bod and good in bed. The one thing I really disliked about Caleb is he was never seemed more than this. All of his dialogue barely consisted of a few words or "I'm a Golden Dragon," "I will protect you," or "Yes, I know." I just didn't feel any depth to him at all. And while I *read* the words of and about Lisa, she pretty much made me feel the same way. I think she was just to even keeled. The ingredients were all here for Lisa and Caleb's character but they just never came to fruition for me.
Malcolm and Saba were a totally different story! Malcolm reminded me of some of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters: something of a bad boy, with a lot of baggage, but basically with a heart who ends up doing the right thing. I felt their pain, struggles, inherent goodness, and feelings much more than I ever did with Lisa and Caleb. I *wanted* to read about Malcolm and Saba! Badly!
Bottom line: the first half of the book, 3 stars. The last half, 4. Malcolm and Saba, 5 stars! And I absolutely can't wait to read their story! "The Black Dragon" should be a 5 star read for sure and I look forward to it! =)
