"There's nothing worse than a horny dragon in search of his mate."And so begins this bawdy fantasy of dragon Rajah's sexcapade with mate Larkspur.  It's not really even a wooing, since he kidnaps her about four pages in and the virginal Larkspur tosses her heels (not even the metaphorical ones) up shortly afterwards.  What saves this from being jaw-droppingly dumb is that it's charmingly dorky slash funny.  When you can't decide whether to be appalled or funny, you have to laugh at some of the things that come out of Larkspur's mouth just an hour or so after losing her virginity to a dragon.As far as world-building in such a short timeframe, there's about a page of it, since it's explained early on that dragons, shapeshifters, unicorns and pirates are all just part of the landscape.  It's cute, if you can manage to keep reminding yourself - while you're wincing - to laugh and not groan at some of this couple's antics.
