Oh dear lord. I pretty much drooled all over the first book in the Dragon Heat in my review, and the second installments totally did not disappoint. Red Hot Dragon is the story of Griffin Cadogan, Welsh Red thunder make, and Avani Monroe, last of the Naga line. Their relationship begins as a deal - Grif is the only shot Avani has at having a child to continue the Naga gifts.Of course four days locked up together during synced up mating cycles changed that plan a bit.The romance in Red Hot Dragon is well-built and given a decent opportunity to grow considering the length of the story. Grif and Avani are likeable and true, and there's no unnecessary relationship drama between the two. Just lots of sex and some outside forces trying to get in the way of...well, sex.There were one thing about this novel that I didn't like - it's not completely stand-alone. The drama going on outside the relationship is touched upon but left completely open-ended. I assume the story of Mad and Ivy will be continued in the next book, but the way they were introduced and then discarded without more information was blunt. It didn't make me want to stop reading the series but it did keep the book from getting a higher rating.I gave Red Hot Dragon four stars. Just like the first book in the series, Dead Sexy Dragon, this story is a must read for any shifter-romance lovers who don't mind their books a little steamy. I'll be watching for the next installment in the Dragon Heat series.
