From Publishers Weekly

A hungry, heartsick 11-foot-tall dragon takes center stage in Rowe's second paranormal tale of Manhattan's "Otherworld," fighting the loneliness of big-city apartment life with a wicked, claw-curling cybersex partner. Theresa Nichols, a winning supporting character from Rowe's Date Me Baby, One More Time, has for the past 200 years been stuck in the body of a dragon, due to an ill-advised drink from Mona, the Goblet of Eternal Youth (who lives in Theresa's apartment, disguised as an espresso maker). In order to meet her cyberlover, Zeke Siccardi, Theresa makes a deal with the Devil, a villain torn between world domination and his hunger for love ("Yes, I am Satan, and I deserve more than empty sex"), to turn her back into a woman for her date. Zeke, however, already knows Theresa's secret—he's an ex-dragonslayer, and he's been hired to find her. When it turns out Zeke's employer, another dragon named Lynam Peressini, wants Theresa dead, Zeke does the honorable thing, vowing to protect Theresa—if he can just suppress his imperative urge to kill her. Rowe keeps her strange island afloat with snappy patter, goofy good humor and enormous imagination. Strong but strange, this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it genre-twisters that will make readers either rabid for more or ready for a good old-fashioned Regency. (Nov.)

From Booklist

*Starred Review* In this hilarious sequel to Date Me, Baby, One More Time (2006), Theresa Nichols, still stuck in dragon form, acts as interim Guardian of the Goblet. Knowing that she'll freak out the people of Manhattan if she leaves her apartment, Theresa entertains herself by having cybersex with a guy named Zeke. But now Zeke wants to meet her. Theresa wants to meet him, too, but in her present form, this is impossible, and she'll do anything, short of selling her soul to Satan, to regain her human body. Zeke Siccardi is equally determined. Now a private detective, this immortal is ready to put his bloody past as a dragonslayer behind him and become part of the modern world. Rowe's wacky secondary characters are back in full force: the shape-shifting Goblet with attitude; a lovesick Satan; Iris, the touch-me-not object of his affection; and Rivka, Satan's right-hand woman. Rowe's blissfully bizarre paranormal romance works well on its own, but libraries will want the entire series. Shelley Mosley

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!, January 10, 2007

I love this book! It was a lot of fun read, especially since I am a dragon myself. We get lots of bad press.

I actually read this book (Must Love Dragons) BEFORE I read the first book (Date Me Babe, One More Time) in the series and I didn't get lost and had a really good time. I picked up the first book of the series based on this one and I have to say, I still like this one better. I'm looking forward to her new book coming out in May (He Loves Me, He Loves Me Hot).

And there were some scenes that were VERY hot ;-) Like I said - a good read.

This is the first book by Stephanie Rowe that I have read and I will definitely buy her others. I have found that I really enjoy reading these silly kind of stories. I love that the author can make the story so silly that I laugh out loud and so interesting I don't want to put the book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, funny, a real keeper, October 30, 2006

This review is from: Must Love Dragons (Immortally Sexy, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I hate giving away any spoilers to a book, and this book has so many unique aspects to it that it would be easy to do just that. The books starts out making you grin and ends up with one still grinning. MUST LOVE DRAGONS is a light, humorous paranormal about a female dragon who's stuck in her dragon state and can't switch into her human form, and has been in exhile for 200 years. She lives in an apartment and has been having Cybersex with a guy who wants to meet her and of course she can't because she's a dragon. She decides to make a deal with Satan for her human form. Satan is so funny--and very full of himself. When the hero and heroine get together it turns out he's a reformed dragon slayer. But she brings out the slaying instincts in him and has to fight not to kill her. And what's hysterical is that he has these pheromones, that as soon as she releases them she falls into a puddle of goo and wants to have sex with him. Then she learns that dragon fire doesn't burn slayers, it makes them practically unconscious from desire. So their first sex scene is funny and hot. His pheromones are like the smell of chocolate cake or frosting, rich decadent desserts. Who wouldn't want a guy like that?

Definitely a keeper!
