Forget the vampires and demons, give me the dragons!,
By
This review is from: Naked Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
Set in part of Salem, Massachusetts. McKenna Greylock needs to make a mortgage payment in time to beat a greedy developer, Elliott Huntley, at this own game. Problem is that McKenna has less than ninety days to do so. McKenna must get her Victorian bed-and-breakfast up to code before she can even have paying guests, which is all but impossible since her contractor fell off a roof and is now disabled. In dire need of a jack-of-all-trades handyman, McKenna contacts Vivica Quinlan who owns the Works Like Magick employment agency.
Vivica sends Bastian Draonelli, but does not tell McKenna how "different" he really is. Bastian is a dragon warrior from the Island of Stars within a parallel plane of existence. Once a Roman Warrior before being changed into a dragon, Bastian has been morphed into a man once more in hopes of freeing his dragon brothers. To do so, Bastian must seek out his heart mate and make her quest his own. When Bastian breached the veil to our plane, two others slipped through with him. Jock is a small, blue guardian dragon. Dewcup is a mischievous teacup faery. But Killian, an evil sorceress, is determined Bastian will fail. ***** FIVE STARS! Forget the vampires and demons, give me the dragons! Full of suspense, humor, and romance, this novel is sure to please any paranormal or fantasy fan. The pixie, Dewcup, is not the only bit of comedy relief. McKenna has a cat that insists on wearing a tissue box as a hat. Dewcup enjoys riding on the feline as if the poor thing were a horse. For anyone that has read the author's novel title "The Kitchen Witch", you will be treated to a cameo or two by Melody Seabright! I really enjoy how the author sometimes gives a cameo to one or more characters from another novel. This is just one more way the author makes her stories special for her readers. Annette Blair is one in a billion! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Clumsy Dragon Tale,
By Anne Fleming - Published on Amazon.com
I wish I had skipped this ham-handed attempt at a lighthearted dopey-dragon-rescues-prickly-damsel story. The plot was simplistic and the characters were inconsistant and outright silly. The villains were elusive and lacked any real meance at all.
Bastion Dragonelli is a dragon masquerading as a handyman in pursuit of his heart-mate, a struggling B&B owner, MacKenna, who's been targeted by an evil condo developer. (You see, Bastion was HIDING his dragon-nature. That's why he went with "Dragonelli.") We know that Dragonelli has spent the last few thousand years banished with his brother dragons to a fairy island, and emerged in this world as an overlly-literal "alpha" male. We know this because the author takes every possible opportunity to allow Dragonelli to misunderstand the meaning of words to an extent impossible for those over the age of five and free of brain damage. For instance, Dragonelli moronically persists in believing "gay" means happy, despite a lot of context to the contrary. Sometimes Dragonelli has moments of amazing insight, however, like his instinctive understanding of the phrase "Special Ops." Perhaps Delta Force had an outpost on his fairy island. Or maybe Dragonelli's status as an "alpha male" automatically allowed him to understand manly terms like that. I wonder if all "alpha males" from Dragonelli's world also take so readily to interior design? I could go on, but I already wasted enough time reading this book. For anyone still considering this purchase, one final fact: Dragonelli refers to his er ... package ... over and over again (sometimes out load) as his "man lance." Man. Lance. Enough said. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Don't waste your time,
By P. Fox - Published on Amazon.com
The people who gave this book a two-starred review basically had it right, but I was so irritated at having purchased it and then spent the time to read it, I did this review to bring the rating down.
The premise started off promising enough. There was some humor in the way the dragon/man was written. He hadn't been around for hundreds of years so obviously he didn't understand anything around him. There was a plot--the heroine is about to lose her family home to a bad guy, and interesting supporting characters. But the author didn't know how or couldn't weave an interesting story around the plot and characters. And then she went overboard. ...the hero's man spear... You read it correctly...an ugly thing that kept poking out. Then it turns out to have scales and wraps itself around her wrist. I can't adequately describe the amount of eye rolling that I was doing while trying to read this. I almost quit at the 80 percent mark on my Kindle--that's how uninteresting I found the book. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Interesting premise...what happened?,
By Lunataina "lunataina" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Naked Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
Naked Dragon...what happened to this story? It has a wonderful premise, and the characters have a lot of potential. But the writing in this book was just...wow...I can't even begin to describe it. But let me try anyway. The story moved extremely slowly. The dialog was cheesy, excesively so. The transitions between scenes were confusing. The story itself felt unfocused, as if it was headed in one direction but then it doesn't, and it doesn't really go anywhere else either. I felt like I was in a very badly organized dream, where you wake up and you still don't feel like you quite understood what happened. By the time the resolution comes, if you have not given up on the story before then, you can only say that it was about time and thank goodness the book is finished. The sad thing about it is that I really wanted to like the book. I truly liked the characters and their problems were definitely something that should have been interesting to resolve. But I just cannot recommend this book. There are too many other books which are really worth the money and to recommend this would just be irresponsible. I am sure some people will like it. I have read too many truly well written paranormal romance books to think highly of this one.
