Dragon shifters, what a great concept! I loved the idea of this book and I wanted to love it. While it's not listed as erotica, it really is. The sex scenes, and there are a LOT of them, were a bit over the top with lots of "tab a into slot b" descriptions and actually took me out of the story. I skimmed lots of them. I hate to do that, but decided that if I was going to finish it, I'd have to.Which is a shame as the STORY in this book is great. The shifters are in an age-old war with the Knights and that was a fascinating story line. They have rules about when and where one can fight. They have so much history. I wanted to read all about them. We are introduced to a few other dragons, and I'm glad Ms. Lopez has her second book in the series set to publish in October. I've listed it below for you.Stig is a great character. I did laugh, just a bit, when I read his last name was Wyvern. Nice touch, that! Cora was all over the place, though. She's young, she did something stupid, she's in trouble. She also doesn't listen to Stig's rules. I really enjoyed the time they just talked and got to know each other. My guess is that she knew, on some level, that she really was his mate, so her lack of fear made sense. But then she flip-flopped and it seemed out of character. Together, they were fun, so that gave some points back.I want to give this FIVE BOOKMARKS for the idea behind this book. But I have to take away some points for the execution of it. Since this is the first in the series, I have high hopes that things will only improve as we learn more about these dragons and their mates.3.5 BOOKMARKS, rounded to FOUR for Amazon system.*Thank you, NetGalley and Forever ~ Grand Central Publishing, for the opportunity to read this ARC.Book Two will be published in October 2013Red Hot Dragon (Dragon Heat #2)It's available for pre-order nowThis review, and others, can be seen at my blog: First Page to the Last . com
