Adan Canicus only thinks he's in control, but he's never met anyone as determined as Tjaden Moore. Intending to trick the annoying man into enslavement through a magical contract, he agrees to a game of three-way chess. After all, how could a dragon ever lose to a human?Tjaden isn't the naive country boy he appears to be, though. He's a treasure seeker, a collector of magical artifacts. He also has a taste for adventure, and what is more adventurous than a night alone with the compelling dragon of Blackwater Falls?This is my first book by Skye Dragen, but it certainly won't be the last. Dragon Tamer launches readers into a fantasy they won't soon forget. This short tale packs a big punch, and this sampling of the Legends of Avalon series promises big things to come.Tjaden is young and not nearly as worldly as he believes himself to be. However, he's not afraid of some uppity dragon. Adan, on the other hand, is vain, self-involved, and doesn't have time for such human nonsense as games and questions. Almost against his will, he finds himself intrigued with Tjaden, though, and to watch him fall for the treasure hunter was poetry in motion. These two sizzle the pages with some of the steamiest sex scenes I've read in a while, and the transition from reluctant acquaintances to eager lovers is perfectly executed.While the story ends in a happy-for-now, I didn't feel it stopped short or too abruptly. Yes, the ending left me wanting more, but I think that's true of any well-written book. I look forward to more from this series and this author, and highly recommend Dragon Tamer to anyone who likes a little adventure and a lot of sizzle in their romance.shining star reviewer's choice award!
