Review courtesy of All Things Urban FantasyThe plot in RED HOT DRAGON felt rushed with more focus on the sex scenes than the romantic development or the plot. I felt left out of the exciting and very fun sounding kidnapping story happening somewhere else especially when its resolution appeared to be an afterthought to the next sex scene. Perhaps there are some readers who just want sex in their books and that’s fine but with such an interesting series plot line involving a group of knights and dragons embroiled in a centuries long war I was anticipating more time to be spent on that and also some time spent getting to know Griffin and Avani better in RED HOT DRAGON.I enjoyed the romance between Griffin and Avani and how it progressed smoothly throughout the story. Both Griffin and Avani are smart, complex characters who’s backstories are equally compelling and I would have loved to spend more time learning about their respective lives.They both approach the relationship as a sort of business arrangement but eventually it becomes something more. The arrangement for Griffin to be her ‘baby daddy’ is a really unique idea and it was fun to see them hash out the details of their plan knowing that they were going to end up together in the end. While the developing relationship felt rushed it made sense in how it developed and I enjoyed seeing them come to the realization that they wanted to be together beyond the terms of their arrangement.RED HOT DRAGON is sexy erotic fun for those that are looking for a light-on-plot romance with two very sexy,red hot dragons. Unfortunately it was so short of a book it felt rushed and I didn’t feel any solid connection to the interesting characters or the compelling story lines. Currently there is no information about another book but there is definitely room for more stories in the Dragon Heat series.
