Red Hot Dragon is book # 2 in the Dragon Heat series. The war between the Dragons and the Knights is still going strong. Here, we have Griffin and Avani's story. As in the previous book, the dragons are entering the mating phase. It is a dangerous time, with a higher threat of being discovered by the evil knights whose purpose is to take out all dragons.The plot centers around Avani's need to mate. As the last dragon of her kind, she needs to continue the line. Which brings her to Griffin, the only one who can help her. Griffin doesn't want a mate or a child. But his dragon wants Avani. So Griffin and Avani get together for their mating heat. At first they have different opinions about how things will go, but as they get closer the feelings start to grow. The question is if they can compromise on the relationship. Their families are involved in a blood feud, though that didn't seem to matter much. Still, it is talked about and we get some insight into Avani. She has something that the other dragons want, and wonders if Griffin is using her to get it. Griffin struggles with his need to be there for the child they hope to create. And with how strongly he has come to care for Avani. Meanwhile, it may not matter when the knights sniff out their lair.I liked the novella. It was a short fast paced story that I really got into. I read it all in one afternoon. There was a great secondary story with the missing friend. It was an intriguing set up for the next book, and I will definitely be reading that one too.
