ARC Review: How to Date a Dragon Mass Market Paperback

I've finished "How to Date a Dragon" by Ashlyn Chase.


Let the Sparks Fly

Bliss Russo thought nothing exciting ever happened in her life. Until her building caught on fire and she had to be carried out of the flames in the arms of a gorgeous fireman. Sure, her apartment is now in shambles and she'll have to start her huge work project completely from scratch. But at least her love life is finally looking up if only she can find her red-hot rescuer again.

Dragon shapeshifter Drake Cameron is the last of his clan, and the loneliness is starting to claw at him. He's met only one woman who might be able to stand the shock of his true nature. After all, she barely batted an eyelash when her home burned down. And feeling her curves against him was just as hot as the inferno. Just when he thinks he'll never track her down, she walks into his firehouse — with no idea what she's about to get herself into.

My Review:

Nick has been looking for his mate for a hundred years and as you know they mate for life so he doesn't want to mess it up.  When he kisses Brandee he knows she is his mate but how will he explain to a women who doesn't know anything about the paranormal that she is the mate of a werewolf.

I didn't really like this book because I didn't like the humor in this one (especially the foul words coming from Mother Nature's mouth - she actually said the F word) and I didn't like Brandee's character.

My Review:

I really recommend this series if you like hilarious light paranormal reads.

I really enjoyed reading about Sly and Morgaine's romantic relationship because it was so sweet and funny.  It was so funny because it's so awkward at first but then when they finally come together they were in tune with one another.

I'm really glad that Morgaine's cousin didn't interfere when she found out that Sly preferred her cousin and she actually approved. 

Interesting concept what we learn of the new tenant and what needs to be done so they don't destroy things.  Also we learn a secret about the handyman and it's a good one.

4/5

My Review:

I highly recommend reading this series if you like fun and hilarious paranormal books!

Roz moves into Merry's old apartment and finds herself attracted to neighbor Konrad Wolfensen. Konrad happens to be a shape-shifter who also happens to be a security system salesman. He gets his kicks from spooky his customers so they will buy his system. When he is accused of theft, he turns to Roz an attorney to help him out.

It was really hilarious when they try different things they would be interested in pursuing (sky-diving, becoming a chef, etc.) with dreadful results!  The incidents are all well written and descriptive which I enjoy!

I can't wait to read about Nathan the shapeshifter!

3.5/5

My Review:
 
This was a very fun and fast paced read!
 
I really enjoyed the romance between Jason and Merry because they balance each other out, it was hot and steamy and they understand each other!

It was nice to see all the paranormal creatures and it was a surprise to find out what creature they turned into!

Jason's grandma was a hoot and it was really fun to watch the antics she got herself into and how she got out of them!
 
4/5
