In Fly with a Dragon by Rosemary Laurey, Myfanwy has been chosen as the next virgin sacrifice to the dragon plaguing her village. Terrified of what is to come, but standing brave in hopes of saving her home, she is prepared to make a bargain. What she finds out when Arragh claims her is unlike anything she expected. Now comes the time for an awakening like Myfanwy never expected.

Who would have ever thought a dragon could be so sexy? Arragh proves everything we know about dragons may not be true in this tantalizing fairy tale. Laurey has woven her own world of dragons that is sure to capture the senses of her readers. Arragh needs Myfanwy to save his kind and his home. As she discovers all those stories she's been told about dragons aren't true, she is free to give herself over fully to this sensual new world. Readers will thrill at the fiery love that develops between Arragh and Myfanwy as she learns to Fly with a Dragon.

In Heart of the Raven by J C Wilder, Dani's entire life has been one of imprisonment. Sold as a slave to the Overseer, by her own father, she swears to gain her freedom at any costs. Haaken is cursed, forced to spend much of his life in the form of a raven. Time is running out for him to find the one person who can free his soul forever. Now he must convince Dani to willingly give herself to him so they can both be free.

Curses which can only be broken by true love... this is a fairy tale so many of us love. What could be better than love conquering all to save a soul? Here Wilder explores this concept with a passionate story in which a life can only be redeemed by the Heart of a Raven. Haaken is desperate to liberate himself from the binds of the curse. Dani is strong willed and determined to be free at any costs. What they come to learn together, at great delight to the readers, is that sometimes only by total submission of the heart can a person ever be free.

I love how each duo of tales in the Paradox books by Rosemary Laurey and J C Wilder center around one element of nature. Here we experience pleasures of the wind by spending time with a dragon and a raven in a truly sensual and fascinating pair of tales.
