Luciana de Luca has a PhD in sass and gemology--and a problem. Her twin brother's gambling debts have gotten out of hand, and a mob enforcer is blackmailing her to rob the latest, greatest mega-casino on the Strip. Although Lucy has worked her whole life to get away from her family's grifter past, to save her brother, she dons three-inch heels and a sluts-r-us dress and struts into Alec's Gerald's casino, determined to put her long-forgotten thieving ways to the test again.Alec Gerald, a shape-shifting dragon, has built the Crown Jewel casino to provide sanctuary for his people amongst the flash and awe of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, the sexy little thief trying to steal his largest diamond exhibit turns out to be his mate, and he must woo her before he loses his dragon form forever. But before he can handcuff her to his bed and explain the details of a mating ceremony, an enemy attacks and threatens to destroy his casino, his people, and his newfound mate.REVIEW:What book could be bad with a sexy, rich, shape shifting dragon?  Well, I am sure there could be, but it is not this book.This book was thoroughly engaging and I could not put the book down.  The story has a little bit of something for everyone; shifters, sexy hero and heroine, a jewel heist, gangsters and at the heart of it a love story.I have always been partial to shifter stories and now I am claiming Alec as my book boyfriend...lol..beat you all ;)  He is a great character, his first scenes are all magic and excitement when he appears to the crowd in his dragon form and transform in pure Vegas fashion into his human form.  Alec is everything you want in a hero and he is written to perfection.Lucy is the girl lucky enough to catch Alec.  Lucy has been drawn into this jewelry heist scheme by her brother (who, needs to wake up and smell the coffee).  Lucy is an interesting character because she is so many different things; she comes off as so worldly at the beginning of the book and other times oh so vulnerable.I really enjoyed this first book by Ms. Scott and cannot wait to read more from this interesting/captivating world she has created.4 Licks
