Product Description

“The beautifully crafted characters, the musical connections and the thought-provoking themes, such as those of redemption, rebirth and change, make this story memorable and hard to put down." - Marilyn, Amazon review

“Edie is brilliant! I love her snarky characters, the humor, the sex, the incredible story and the perfect narration she is able to spin into a single novel. I was on the edge of my seat while savoring another Ramer masterpiece!” – Aimee, Coffee Table Press

Once a dragon…
Saxophone player Noah Long shifted from dragon to human 2500 years ago, but the dragon blood still coursing through his veins has kept him healthy and virile. Now his secret is out, and the man who discovered it will do anything to make Noah’s blood his own. Noah’s only ally is martial arts expert Lila Fox, who heats up the fire in his belly…and his heart.

Twice a killer…
Lila Fox’s first kill was at age sixteen after her stepfather put her mother in a wheelchair. Fourteen years later, she kills another abuser to save a woman’s life. When the man who wants Noah’s blood kills her sister, she can’t let the death go unanswered. She teams up with the strangely compelling Noah, and discovers he’s not all man and has a few tricks of his own.

Dragons Need Love, Too March 25, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Reading Indie Authors is like digging through a pile of plain rocks and finding the occasional golden nugget. Author Edie Ramer is golden. Her latest release, "Dragon Blues", begins a series of paranormal romantic suspense. Noah is the Dragon/Man simply trying to live an immortal life in peace and quiet. His closest companions are his cat and his saxophone. Lila is a modern woman with an abused past who's learned to aggressively take care of herself. Ramer weaves a tight plot to bring these two together with enough peril to keep it interesting. The core of the piece is true romance--two wounded beings who find completion in each other. For me, the best part of "Dragon Blues" is the writing style. It's sharp, swift and clean. Ramer artfully uses a lot of fragment sentences that bring a crisp rhythm to the manuscript, almost as if she listened to various musical pieces as she tapped out the story on the keyboard. It will be interesting to see how her Dragon myths unfold. And, oh yeah, the love scenes are smoking. But what else would you expect from a fire-breathing Dragon Man?

Flying High February 21, 2011
By Aimee
Format:Kindle Edition
Edie never ceases to amaze me! Another great book in a new series that I have high hopes for. I'm such a fan of delicious men and Noah definitely belongs on that list! I love Edie's ability to create such strong characters who can be vulnerable and human. Real in every sense.

This had a bit of a darker side to it that Edie's previous novels. Consensus? I loved it! Sexy men aside, I loved the story. It rang with bits and pieces of an old fairy tale but with a twist and an ending that isn't all to happy. But I love how the characters are able to create their own tale with a much happier outcome.

I can't express this enough. Edie is brilliant! I love her snarky characters, the humor, the sex, the incredible story and the perfect narration she is able to spin into a single novel. I was on the edge of my seat while savoring another Ramer masterpiece! This comes highly recommended!

Loving the dragon February 25, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I have read reviews of her books and now I finally got a chance to read one of Edie's books, and it did live up to the good things I have heard.

In this book we meet Noah who once was a dragon but then turned human to pursue a woman, but he never shifted back to dragon after that. He has lived alone for long, and he only lives for his music and his treasures (cos he is a dragon and he lives the bling). He is strong, but also vulnerable, he is lonely, and saddened by the all the years on his own. But he is also protective and sweet, and I liked him (of course it did help that he had a cat he loved too).
.
Then there is Lila, she is also a broken by things from the past. An abusive stepfather used to hit her mum and Lila was left on her own raising her little sister. She also did something she can't forget to protect her mother. She is very protective, strong, can kick ass, but she also finds it hard to trust people and let go. And when these two meet there is that passion simmering beneath the surface wanting to break out. Together they could be so great.

Which brings me to the rest of the book. First there is Lila's sister who Noah calls Beauty and this is because of a certain beauty and the beast fairytale, an aspect to the story I truly liked. But this Beauty is a drug-addict, beaten down and with a scumbag boyfriend. She only causes trouble. The other aspect is the suspense part. Someone thinks that Noah's blood will make him live forever and the hunt is on and that person does not care who he kills to get Noah. Blood will flow.

I am coming to the end then. Edie is a great writer and pens a wonderful story.

Recommendation and final thoughts:
It's a good paranormal romance, and it does feel original. There is this sadness to Noah that I really enjoyed, and it made me wonder if there are any other dragons left in the world. A good suspense part and some nice passion. Plus, the story about him in Wales was good ( I will say no more.)
