Would the world be a better place without dragons? For ages a group of knights have battled to eradicate the dragonshifters that secretly live among us. Is their cause just or born from hatred, or perhaps love? The battle has come to Stig's door, via his late best friend's sister, Cora, a beautiful and tantalizing human female. Cora has always had a special place in her heart and her fantasies for the distant, quiet and sexy Stig, but he hasn't shown the slightest interest. She is now in desperate trouble and it couldn't be at a worse time for Stig. His dragon is running hot, his hormones are raging and Cora is too tempting to resist, but not only is love between a dragon and a human forbidden, Cora has NO idea what Stig really is. How could she possibly accept him once she knows he is an immortal dragon?Dead Sexy Dragon by Lolita Lopez is novella length, but does not lack in attention to detail. Clearly Dead Sexy Dragon is meant to sensual and erotic with some story thrown in. For me, the "encounters" between Stig and Cora were a little too detailed or graphic. There wasn't much in the line of sensual nor was there much left to the imagination. Each sexual move was detailed again to the point that I felt Masters & Johnson wrote part of the script. That said, Stig's character WAS developed well with considerable attention made to his background and his life, fleshing him out and making him likable and realistic. Cora was almost flat as a character and not so easily identified with.The plotline of dragons versus knights is intriguing and I hope to read more of that idea in the next book. Is this a battle of good over evil or a tragic mistake that has gone on for too long like the Hatfields and McCoys?A review copy was provided by NetGalley and Forever Yours in exchange for my honest review.
