Deep in trouble, Cora Cardenas heads to the one person she hopes can help her. Stig Wyvern is a loner and the last thing he needs is his dead friend’s kid sister showing up asking for help. Stig let her stay but he knows with him entering his mating phase, the woman he has lusted for should stay far away from him. Cora has also wanted Stig for a long time and will do anything to convince Stig to let her stay…including cooking everything in his kitchen. Stig needs to get her out, Cora desperately wants to stay. Luckily his inner beast has his own ideas. He’s found his mate and she’s not about to let her go anywhere.I actually liked this story. I find Stig and Cora a sweet couple.. The sex scenes between them were hot but still tastefully done. I think the author did a good job on giving just enough history in this novella to let me know what was going on and what to expect. Very sneaky of author Lolita Lopez giving Stig the last name of Wyvern. (FYI…a wyvern is a dragon). That tidbit definitely helped put a mental image in my head of what he looked like in his altered state. It certainly perked my interest enough to want to continue reading the series. To me, the most interesting part was the twist on the whole mating process. For once, it’s the male going into heat. Sound like a bit of payback time boys! Stig and Cora definitely got they HEA but it is left just open enough that their story could continue into the next book.Having had a preview of the next book I can see it is not about Ignatius. The dragon needs his own story! Overall I was very pleased with Dead Sexy Dragon and look forward to the next book in the Dragon Heat series.I received this book from Net Galley for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.Stars – 3.5, Flames – 3
