Dead Sexy Dragon is book one in Lolita Lopez's Dragon Heat Series and I must say I enjoyed it immensely Before I get into the actual review I would like to take the time to appreciate the author's name.. Lolita Lopez.. just rolls off the tongue, but more importantly conjures up thoughts of a sultry sensuous woman who knows how to go for what she wants.. I totally love her name! If it's her real name great job parents.. and if it's a nomme de plume.. what a wonderful choice..*grins* ok, back on track...Dead Sexy Dragon introduces us to a world where dragons and knights are still fighting.. An age old feud, caused by what else but love.. and well fear, racism and probably more than a little greed (Lolita doesn't say that but that's the way I see it). While the dragons are considered the good guys in this series I would imagine if the books had been written from the perspective of the knights, we could see them as heroes as well. We don't like the knights in this book, we aren't supposed to but they are living for a cause.. trying to make the world a better place.Stig Wyvern is going into Dragon Heat.. the time that happens every three years that causes him to go into the throws of lust.. Every night for eight nights once he shifts (which again he can not control) he is overcome with need. He has dealt with it by chaining himself in Dragon Form every night only to be released when the lust has released him. Plans to handle his need are under control until Cora Cardenas knocks on his door. The sister of his best friend and the human woman whom he has warned himself away from. Since she is in trouble there is no chance of turning her away and little hope of keeping his secret.Cora Cardenas is in really big trouble. Her brother left debts, serious debts with some less than respectable people. With no idea how to pay them back she is stuck transferring items for them (yeah we know nothing good can be in those boxes). Only to be caught and forced to testify to save herself.. Now the bad guys are after her and she has nowhere to run. Well nowhere but to the man she has always wanted and who has promised to always be there..Cora and Stig want each other.. they need each other and are clearly meant for each other but Stig keeps shutting her down which totally confuses Cora. When she wanders down to his subterrain cavern and discovers something odd he is forced to share his secrets.. Amazingly enough Cora accepts him for who he is. That's not to say she isn't a little freaked by some of the things going on.But when the Knights find their way to her, she realizes there are things way worse than loving a dragon..A fast read but a total delight.. can't wait to read more.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Dead Sexy Dragon provided by netgalley
