"There's a dragon in the cellar - and he's dead sexy!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Dead Sexy Dragon

Romance Paranormal

Stig Wyvern has a secret. A loner who served in the Marine Corps, he retreats to a cabin over a hillside cave and tells visitors not to go down to the cellar, he's got an infestation. Actually, he's got a dragon. Worse, he is the dragon, when his body is forced to make the change every few years. Hunters called Knights are seeking dragons and can more easily find him at that time.

DEAD SEXY DRAGON presents Stig with a problem when his late friend's sister comes looking for a place to stay one evening. Cora Cardenas is lovely and in need of help, but Stig's body is about to betray him. He lies about a severe headache and retreats to chain himself up in the cellar, leaving her to unpack upstairs. Cora secretly thinks Stig is incredibly sexy, but believes that like her unfortunate brother he must have PTSD. That night a musky scent makes its way into Cora's room and she has a sexy dream. Stig will be himself again in the morning, and able to move around, but every night for the next eight nights he's got to lock himself away again or....

This novella is surprisingly convincing from the start. Cora has crossed some drug dealers who thought she'd be an easy target, since her family bakery business had been put into the red by her brother's gambling. After telling the police everything she had to run. Stig is a woodworker who takes pride in his craft and can't afford to be found by the Knights. He does appreciate Cora's cooking!

Of course we get a history of dragon shifters, and Stig will have to leave the protective brotherhood if he takes a mate. Which is all he has on his mind right now.... The erotic aspect is well written and very hot, everyone enjoying themselves, and the tale turns just as deftly to a thriller atmosphere. Lolita Lopez started writing while studying biochemistry and genetics in Texas, and her next release will be called Red Hot Dragon. DEAD SEXY DRAGON is a good introduction to the Dragon Heat series and a lively erotic adult fantasy novella.

SUMMARY

The last thing dragon shifter Stig Wyvern needs is his dead friend's kid sister showing up on his doorstep, especially since he's just minutes away from entering a mating phase. Sharing his isolated house with the young woman he's desperately lusted after for quite some time is a recipe for disaster.

But Cora Cardenas has nowhere else to go. She's in deep trouble with some really nasty people and Stig is the only one who can protect her. That he's deliciously sexy and makes her tingle with the simplest of smiles is an added bonus.

Cora quickly realizes Stig is hiding something from her. To make matters worse, she's plagued with breathtakingly naughty dreams starring a shadowed lover who bears a startling resemblance to her host. And what the hell is going on in the basement at night?

Stig needs to get Cora out of his house but his inner beast has other ideas. He's found his mate and she's not going anywhere.
