Simone has always known she was a tad off the normal mark; but when her sister's death removes a protective spell, Simone's quiet world is invaded by Trent, an irritating MI-5 agent with a face that haunts her dreams. He leaves her breathless and inexplicably in love -- but she's not certain whether she's in love with him or the fuzzy memory of a man from centuries past. If that's not bad enough, she discovers that she shares her body with the soul of a vindictive, enraged-in-a-cage dragon.

To protect her daughter, she must join forces with Trent and fight an evil that is indefinable to her mathematical brain. Together Simone and Trent must unravel fact from fiction; determine how to destroy their enemy and uncover the wisdom hidden beneath the fury of Grael before the strength of the creature's will kills Simone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Dancer May 9, 2012

By Lee Carper

Format:Paperback

Reviewer: Lee Carper

This is the first *fantasy* novel for me, as my usual reading material leans toward murder mysteries and thrillers, however I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Not that I didn't expect the book to be well-written, but more that I wasn't sure if I'd be *into* the whole fantasy idea. Turns out, I was.

Dragon Dancer was explained nicely by a character named Francine. `In the age when dragons wore their physical forms, they were able to communicate with gifted humans.' There is a lengthy explanation which I needn't go into here, but for me, the part of the description I found most important was how it took dragons years to understand human compassion and eventually made it their drive to protect our world. This concept drives the story.

I enjoyed the characters, especially MI-5 Agent, Trent Arnot. He was brave, strong, yet at the same time, sensitive. Simone herself was also strong, and I always enjoy a strong female character.

The author combines magic, evil, and romance to weave one heck of a story.

4.0 out of 5 stars I linked it, but it was different from what I normally read! May 15, 2013

By Trine Ipsen

Format:Paperback

The book is told in both Simone and Trent's point of view. I was a bit confused in the beginning of the book, but the longer I got into it the more I began to understand and it also became more exiting! I could just not put the book down. It's different than the books I normally read, but it was interesting to read something different. The story is well written with detailed. There are lot of different countries , places and historical persons mentioned. As genre, it's thriller, romance, fantasy and sci-fi. But the thriller part isn't that big part of the book, mostly romance, fantasy and sci-fi. So most people can read it, even if they don't like thriller. So if you like Romance, Fantasy or Sci-fi then you should try giving this book a chance. Romance is the biggest part of the book. I will say with the fantasy and sci-fi, there comes a bit of mystery. The mystery that is surrounding Simone, all the things she doesn't understand yet. It's a great book with a lovely story. I would recommed it if you are into romance with bits of fantasy and sci-fi. All the mystery around Simone will be revealed in the end!
