Cora is on the run from some loan sharks and runs to the only person she can think of -- her dead brother's best friend Stig.  Unknown to Cora, Stig is a dragon.  A dragon who's about to enter his breeding cycle.  But Cora doesn't have any other place to go, and Stig can't kick her out.
 
For a novella, I found the characters to be surprisingly complete.  The world of dragons was well explained, not leaving the reader with tons of unanswered questions.  The author has done a wonderful job of giving us enough information without becoming too blah, blah, blah about it.
 
My biggest complaint is that there wasn't enough of this book.  I wanted to know more about Stig and Cora and their life together.  Another chapter, an epilogue, just give me more!  Lolita Lopez has created a world that I look forward to visiting again and again.
 
Do you like shifters?  With feathers or fur or scales?

  1. I love shifters! Really any kind works for me, if the writing is good. Shelly Laurenston and Nalini Singh are favorites of mine.

    I read this book, too, and really enjoyed it. Dragons are some of my favorite shifters! Katie McAllister does good dragon shifters, but I don't like the same couple series pacing she uses. G.A. Aiken (another name for Shelly Laurenston) writes hysterically funny and violent dragon shifters that I love!

  2. I can definitely hand furry shifters and dragon shifters. For some reason, I draw the line at the mermaid/mermen shifters.
