Synopsis:

Miranda Betts works as a waitress at a roadside diner in Oklahoma. Her life will change when a mysterious female customer leaves an ornate necklace in lieu of paying her check. Later, alone in her trailer, she tries on the necklace and is transported to a strange land full of people who can shift into other creatures, including fearsome dragons. And everyone thinks she’s someone she’s not.

Corban Everfrost leads the clan of blue dragons and rules the Icelands after the mysterious disappearance of his father. While investigating the appearance of strange interlopers from another world, his sister informs him that he is to be wed to the daughter of the Wildfire clan who has been in exile on Earth since she was an infant. Corban wants nothing to do with a new bride or the Wildfires. But when he sees the dark, fiery woman brought to his world via a magic necklace, she stirs something within him.

At first, Miranda thinks Corban is a jerk. He thinks she’s an outcast from a clan he despises. But soon they will learn each other’s secrets, and as they learn to love each other their relationship may be the key to saving all of Xandakar from dark forces from another world.

Dragon Blue is the first book in a planned 5-book series, The Dragonlords of Xandakar. It contains lots of fast-paced action, VERY steamy love scenes, and a happy ending.

Author:

I’m a forty-something romance/erotica author living in Southern Louisiana. I love the challenge of trying to create believable, engaging characters, fast-paced plots, and stories that make people feel good.

I’m always looking for advance readers of my books since I’m relatively new. If you’re interested in receiving free copies of upcoming books in exchange for honest reviews, or if you have a comment or question about anything, just drop me a message!

My Review: ✰✰✰✰⭒

A bit shallow, but fun, hot sex, sexy women, hot men, dragons, wizards, castles…just like in a fairytale!

Miranda had a pretty sad life, but she hopped on it when something better was offered, even though it was a lie. Corbin needed someone to bring him down a peg and make him a bit more humble and bearable and Miranda was just the woman to do that. He was a king, but he was careless of women, superior.

Siccora Wildfire had been a child sent away for her safety with a protector. She came to care about her protector and didn’t want to marry a stranger, so she offered up an alternative and the means to make it happen. No one had seen her in years. The two women looked so much alike. So why did she show up at the wedding to stop it and claim her place? Why almost get them all killed?

And what does Siccora’s brother know that he’s not sharing?

Who is Miranda really?

Well, I guess you’ll need to read the first book to get caught up on the first part, while I get the second book and find out what happens next, cause this looks to be one really fun series with lots happening. Recommended.
