Never Deal With Dragons

Never Deal with Dragons 
4 of 5 stars false1/2
  Consoling a sobbing dragon and serving pig buffets are just part of the job for Myrna Banks. Working for a mediation firm, it's her job to get humans compensated for damages caused by the dragons who now rule. But her "typical" day is interrupted by Trian Chobardan, an old flame who sneaked out of her bed two years ago, taking her heart and a handful of classified documents with him.
Myrna would love to show Trian the door, but he's been sent by North America's reigning dragon lord for help negotiating a truce with a powerful rival to avert war. Myrna agrees to help, even though she'll be stuck with Trian as a partner.
As the two work together, Myrna finds Trian to be surprisingly supportive—and still irresistibly attractive. Though her brain tells her not to forget his betrayal, her body feels differently. When they learn the enemy dragon lord is planning something no one could have imagined, Myrna has to learn who she can trust before she loses not only her heart, but her life.

Review

***Carina Press through Netgalley provided me with an ARC of this book, I based my review on content alone. ****
Myrna Banks’ job is to help humans get compensation from dragons; an interesting job and hazardous job but one she loves. Well, she used to love. Her boyfriend, Trian, left her without a word and took off with sensitive information from her job; she was demoted and now works as a secretary. While in the middle of mediating a dispute, her ex-walks in and once again her whole life is turned upside down. She and Trian must to work together while dealing with a rival Dragon Lord. Myrna is drawn into a world of lies, violence, hate, revenge, secrets and passion. With her life, and countless others, on the line she doesn't know who or what to trust. I chose this book because of the cover, it’s very eye catching and I am so glad I did. Within the first few pages I was laughing; some of the situations Myrna finds herself in are incredibly hilarious. Other times I found myself rooting for her and hoping that all the characters would live through the danger. The relationship between Myrna and Trian was rife with sexual tension. The foreshadowing in this book is done exceptionally well, major kudos to the author on that front. What I really loved about this book was the scientific explanation on how dragons came into existence; it was both interesting and well thought out. Fans of paranormal romance should add Never Deal With Dragons to the top of their to be read list.

Paris Love Match


Paris Love Match 
 3 of 5 stars false 1/2
Getting a taxi in Paris can be hell.
Piers Chapman expected a boring business trip to Paris. 
What he didn't expect was to fight over a cab with a beautiful girl.
After a bad meeting, Sidney Roux just wanted to hail a cab, go home, and have a glass of wine.
She didn't expect to fight over a cab with some pompous British tourist.
Neither of them expected another man to jump in their cab.
Or to be involved in a gun fight.
Or a car chase through the streets of Paris.
Or for the man to die.
But they're thrust together when the mob demands they return what the dead man stole.
Will Piers and Sidney work together?
Will they find what he had stolen?
Will they stay alive?
And will they do the last thing they expected?
Will they fall in love?

Review


****This book was part of a blog tour I received a copy for my honest review****
This book starts out with seeing the pov of a few different people then we see Piers and Sidney both trying to get a taxi, from there thing take off and become fast paced and hectic. Piers and Sidney are thrown together running from mobsters and trying to stay alive. This book was fast paced, humorous and highly entertaining. Piers is a huge geek, not buff or strong so he is not your normal hero type male. I liked his character except for the fact that he was so weak willed, he just gave into Sidney for most of the book. Sidney I had problems with her character, they are running for their lives and she was more concerned about her appearance than anything else. She was constantly disrespecting Piers and taking him for granted, so the romance angle of the book didn't really play out well for me. Other than those few problems I liked the book, the action and humor through out the book more than made up for the lack of heat in the romance. If you’re looking for an action book with humor for a good price this definitely a book to add to your reading list.

 4 of 5 stars false

With a killer targeting them and danger lurking at every turn, Brandy doubts their love can blossom, especially when she puts Officer Skip Coogan—Blade's best friend and father figure—at the top of her suspect list.

Review

****This book was part of a blog tour I received a copy for my honest review****
Brandy is a recent trainee and stumbles upon a guy breaking into a cabin, she is by herself her cell phone is dead and she is in the middle of nowhere, so she does what any other deputy in training would do, she orders the sexy guy in the Stetson strip at gunpoint, just so he can't get away of course. That's were everything starts going wrong, all the sudden some men show up and start shooting at Brandy and this stranger and the two of them are running for their lives. Once they get away Brandy learns the guy she ordered to strip is her FTO Blade, the two of them start a working together. Trying to ignore their attraction to each other the two of them have to figure out a way to bring down a racist group, but Brandy and Blade both have secrets. Brandy is trying to prove her mother is innocent in the process she will take down Skip Coogan, Blades hero and Blade he still lives with the guilt of what his biological father did. Too Sexy For His Stetson had me hooked from the very beginning; I loved the sexual tension/frustration between Brandy and Blade it made for some uncomfortable and at times funny moments. There was a lot of action, a little bit of suspense and some mystery throw in just to keep you guessing a little. Brandy was a great female main character, she was strong, but had some insecurities that balance things out. Blade was sexy as hell, he worked hard to get away from his "father" and make something of himself. Every time I thought I had things figured out, there was something little that would happen and I would start having doubts. This book was a great read, something every romance reader should pick up when their looking for something a little bit different.
