Stig is a dragon but has a human body most of the time. During certain phases, his body morphed into the dragon form. In an effort to control his inner beast, he chains himself in his basement. Cora is the little sister to Stig's best friend. Although his friend died, Stig still considers Cora to be off limits for a number of reasons.With her life in danger because of poor decision making on her part, Cora needs Stig's help and hides out at his remotely located house. She feels safe with Stig. He is the strong silent loner type. While she is attracted to him, she is also frustrated because she seems to be stuck in the friend zone as his best friend's "little sister". Meanwhile, Stig is concerned that having Cora in close proximity will test the boundaries of his human control over his inner beast. It seems to be harder and harder to convince his subconscious that getting with Cora is a bad idea.I loved this book. It was a steamy novella. The story was full of tastefully done love scenes, real and dream sequenced. That was to be expected considering Cora has the hots for him for years and Stig was in beast mode. The novel's cover created an expectation that the story delivered (I'm a sucker for six pack abs--yum).Even though it seems to be the popular thing, I do not like any paranormal story with demons, witches, vampires or werewolves. To me, this story's genre is more of a fantasy romance than paranormal. That being said, I have not read many romances that deal with other worldly creatures because they can be cheesy. I read an alien-woman romance a while back, and it was painful how corny it was. But I digress... I was thoroughly entertained by this story because of the characters and their love connection. Plus, the story was fun.I totally recommend this book if you want something outside of the normal romance or if you like fantasy romance. I cannot wait to read more dragon series books from this author.I received ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest reviewSee more of my reviews at my blog Musings of An Opinionated Woman [...]
