What would you sacrifice to protect those you care for?

As a dragon shifter in hiding, Lara Stone wants nothing to do with others of her kind or finding a mate. No way, no how. She's perfectly content to work for a security company, masquerading as a simple mage.

When the leader of all the dragon clans personally requests her as a bodyguard, Lara fears her secret is blown, or worse. What danger could possibly make Rafael Dragoi, the powerful Astarot, seek protection?

**This short novella was originally published in the Moon, Mist & Magic Anthology.**

A Dragon Whopper

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Lara Stone is a red-headed, dragon shifter with serious power and a fiesty spirit hiding in the guise of a mage. Rafael Dragoni is a powerful ultra- alpha- male dragon shifter to melt for. To deal with a serious security issue, he hires her for his bodyguard, not knowing her real identity. He doesn't want a mate. She doesn't want a mate. But sparks sizzle on every page.
This prelude story to the series is a dragon whopper. I couldn't put it down. McKenzie's trademarks: sassy humor combined with well-developed plots written in eloquent prose held me on the page.
My favorite parts were Lara's arguments with her own dragon who she called "the saucy wench," among other things.
If you like dragon stories with imaginative worlds, urban fantasy that keeps you guessing, sizzling romance or just a couple hours of fun, you'll love this book.

I liked this story and it was a short read. I liked how the relationship was developed between Raf and Lara. I want to read the next book to see where it goes from here.

This is part 1 not a novel. A short story introducing the characters. Good effort for the style and genre.

This Was a fun, light read. Hidden from the dragons all her life, Lara is called to guard the leader of the dragons from some insidious magic that is controlling him.

Fun, but way too short.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on August 15, 2019

Enjoyable introduction to a new dragon shifter/magic series. Interesting main characters, and potentially a great main character backstory to muddle the relationship in future books. This was fast paced and fun, with enough mystery remaining that I want to pick up the first book and see what happens after this novella.

Intriguing. Great set up for the series. Want to know what happens next. I like the banter between the characters, and I really wanna know all about her hidden past

Enjoyable but have to wait for next part.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on April 24, 2018

Be aware, though a free read, this is a prequel for a story coming out in a box set on May 22nd.
Though I really loved this short story I was a bit annoyed at having to wait and still not knowing if it will conclude in the box set.

I loved JC's Carus series, so I was very curious to see what was next. This is a definite winner. The world is very intriguing so far and the characters super interesting.

This short story/novella was terrific. I loved the internal conversations the human halves have with the dragon halves, funny as hell. Can't wait to read more.
