Oh. My. Stig. Yes, his name is Stig. Stig Wyvern. Nice play on words there for the last name. Odd name choice aside, the man is hot. He's a carpenter, a former soldier, and a shape-shifting dragon about to enter a mating phase. All things that make me sit up and take notice. Hundreds of years old, living the solitary life of a dragon without a mate, Sig is just the kind of man you want to read about on a cold, quiet evening. Preferably someplace private.Cora's not my favorite female protagonist ever - she's cute, spunky, but her backstory is a little too contrived for me. Of course I realize I'm reading about men almost as old as Jesus himself who can magically shift from their human form to that of a mythical beast. Feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt...or two.This book took me a bit by surprise. I knew it was a shifter romance, but it wasn't tagged as erotica so I had no idea how dirty the words were going to get. I guess I could have looked a little harder at the Goodreads shelves it sat on, but I really didn't think about it. Hence I made the EPIC mistake of reading it at work...at my desk. And then the male Vice President over my department walked up. I'm pretty sure I blushed like a twelve-year-old, but I couldn't stop reading. This dragon and his mate simply wouldn't let me go.There were some sweet, romantic moments, a fight scene and quite the foundation for what looks to be an exceptional shifter series. The characters were good (though again, I liked Stig more than Cora), the overall storyline was fast-paced and the naughty words were oh-my-whoa hot. I am not really a fan of the writer's choppy sentence style but it was something I found easy to overlook.I gave Dead Sexy Dragons a full four stars. This is a definite must for any shifter-romance lovers who don't mind their books a little steamy. The second book in the series, Red Hot Dragon, is already out, and I already have it loaded on my Nook.
