Book Description

July 3, 2007
Lisa Singleton has an unusual roommate-a fifty-foot dragon named Caleb who has glittering scales and a bad attitude. Little does she know that Caleb is actually a powerful warrior sent to protect her from those out to steal her magic and destroy the world. Or that Caleb can take the human form of a sexy hunk. Now, if he doesn't stop distracting her with those gorgeous bedroom eyes, they may not have time to stop their enemies before all of existence is wiped out. At least Lisa and Caleb will have savored every last minute.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Klovers - Courtesy of CK2S Kwips & Kritiques, February 18, 2008
By 
Jennifer Ray (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dragon Heat (Dragon Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
Lisa Singleton inherited her late Grandmother's apartment along with everything in it - including the full-size dragon her Grandmother never warned her was living in the guest room! Caleb has been set as Lisa's protector by the witches who control him, a task he doesn't mind at all- especially when she talks to him and lets him have the remote for the TV.

OK, so it is a little unusual for a Golden Dragon, known as a powerful warrior, to enjoy life as a couch potato. But it is even more unusual to have a dragon living in your spare bedroom. Then again, things get even stranger when that dragon suddenly turns into a human hunk and settles himself comfortably and naked on the living room sofa!

When the infamous Black Dragon and an evil witch both target the innocent Lisa, Caleb will do anything to save the beautiful human woman he has come to love more than life itself.

Why, oh WHY did it take me so long to read this wonderful book that I have had languishing away on my book case for so long??? I bought Dragon Heat, the first story in Allyson James' Dragon Series, months ago. Unfortunately, I had not yet found time to move it up my too-large (no complaints, though) to-be-read pile. But it was certainly very near the top, since I have a particular penchant for any story that has dragons in it, whether they are the shape shifting variety or not.

Lucky for me, the sequel to this story came to CK2S Kwips and Kritiques for review, giving me the perfect excuse to move Dragon Heat to the top of that TBR pile! All I can say is, this series is now on my pre-order list! OK, that's not really all I can say about it; I'm way too long-winded for that.

One of the things I love best about this book is that, while it is not a comedy, Ms. James' infuses it with a good dose of natural humor throughout the story. As a person who finds humor in most real-life situations, I really appreciate that quality in the books I read. I mean, come on, the situation lends itself easily to laughter. A remote control wielding dragon living in a woman's guest-room? Plus, the juxtaposition of the comedy alongside the darker nature of the story as the villains attempt to destroy Lisa and Caleb keeps the story very entertaining.

The author delivers several twists to the plot, at least one of which I never suspected, but totally enjoyed when it happened. Having been bred on mystery novels growing up, I am pretty adept at figuring out the surprises in a story, so I always appreciate when an author manages to pull something over on me in a manner which is logical.

I really can't praise this story enough. For those of us who relish a romance with a great dose of fantasy, paranormal and suspense, Dragon Heat is a story not to be missed!

This review is from: Dragon Heat (Dragon Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
I was a bit apprehensive about reading a book that delved deep enough into fantasy to include dragons in the modern world. Still, I wanted to read something different so I gave it a try. This book truly succeeds in making the dragon/ modern world themes work together. Add romance, mystery, magic, and an intriguing plot, and you've got a terrific story.

Lisa's grandma has passed away, leaving her an apartment with a big surprise in the guestroom. When Lisa looks inside, she finds a 50- foot Golden Dragon. Over months of living together, Lisa and her dragon (Caleb) have become the best of friends. When enemies attempt to kidnap Lisa, Caleb convinces a young witch to turn him into a human man. Now he can stay close to Lisa and keep her safe where ever she goes. With their history of friendship and true affection for one another, Caleb and Lisa quickly become attracted to each other. Now that Caleb is human, Lisa can teach him how people make love. For Caleb, who has never known physical affection, this human form of mating is both fun and precious.

Evil witches enslaved Caleb centuries ago. They are now determined to capture Lisa as well. To her shock, Lisa discovers she has powerful magic that was passed down from her grandma. She has no idea what her powers are, or how to use them. Witches and a Black Dragon both want to use Lisa's magic for their own purposes. Caleb will fight to the death if necessary to keep Lisa safe. Now that he has claimed Lisa for his mate, he cherishes her above all things... even his own life.


I absolutely adore Caleb's character. He is sarcastic and arrogant, but in a very funny and lighthearted way. He made me laugh quite a bit. His innocence in our world was absolutely charming. His open and guileless love for Lisa was enchanting. Hero characters like Caleb are so rare. Powerful, yet pure. I want a dragon of my own!

I'm really looking forward to reading book 2. This new series is a breath of fresh air.

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance and Dragons, August 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dragon Heat (Dragon Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have had this book for a while and just did not think it would be that good. So many books about Dragons are out there and now we have so many with hot romances. But I was surprised and this is a good book. I did enjoy it and every time I thought she was gonna bog us down in sterotypes she avoided that problem. I am looking forward to the next book The Black Dragon (Dragon Series, Book 2).

Lisa Singleton has gone through some bad times and a bad marriage, now her grandmother has passed away and left Lisa her apartment and unknown to Lisa some very powerful objects and powers. Lisa has been courted by some wicca witches. However, she has not chosen to get involved with them. Imagine her surprise to find a dragon in her spare room. The dragon is Caleb and he has been sent by the witches to protect her from the Black Dragon.

Caleb is a golden dragon, a warrior dragon, the witches know his name and he must serve them. Watching Lisa is not a hard job for him and he finds himself caring for her. Dragons do not usually care for anyone but themselves. He convinces one of the witches that he needs to be able to enter our world and not be confined to Dragonspace.

When the sexy golden warrior and the surprising Lisa come togather there are fireworks. And now the Black Dragon and the leader of the witches are after Lisa, so Caleb has his work cut out for him.

I enjoyed the book and if you like this type of novel you will enjoy it too.
