A do or die prospect… Seducing the Dragon.

Seducing the Dragon By Jessie Donovan

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Released: January 24, 2015

Publisher: Mythical Lake Press, LLC

Series: Stonefire Dragons, Book 2

Synopsis

On her first visit to Clan Stonefire, Department of Dragon Affairs inspector Evie Marshall has an ulterior motive–she needs to seduce its clan leader. If she can’t seduce him and become his mate, the dragon hunters will kill her. Of course, Evie doesn’t know the first thing about seducing a man, let alone a dragon-shifter, but with her life on the line, she’s going to have to become a fast learner or die trying.

Bram Moore-Llewellyn has a track record of scaring off DDA inspectors, but when the latest inspector shows up wearing tight clothes and a sexy smile, his inner dragon takes notice. While battling his attraction to the human, he soon finds himself with an impossible choice: he can either break the law to mate the female and risk a backlash from both the dragon hunters and the British government, or he can turn her away and let her die at the hands of the hunters.

A do or die prospect… Seducing the Dragon.

This being the second in the Stonefire Dragons series, I have to say I am thrilled with the twist on the themes Ms. Donovan has chosen. In Sacrificed to the Dragon, you might think of virgin sacrifices in pagan rituals… um nope. Seducing the Dragon I would assume plays upon the mate sacrifices… again nope. Rather the heroine is a member of the organization that regulates the selection of Sacrifices and policies dragon affairs and now her position has put a target on her back. When upper management won’t do anything to have your back, you have little choice in where you go and what you’ll do to survive. An ancient loophole may be the only thing to save her if she can manage to seduce a dragon clan leader and become his mate.

What I love about Evie Marshall… She’s kickbutt. She doesn’t take any guff. She knows the laws regarding dragon affairs inside out. She’s totally clueless on how to seduce a man. Yeah but she sure knows how to get down and dirty when the opportunity presents itself. And her maternal nature is the final coup de gras.

Then you have Bram, a dragonman that can’t have children of his own so he protects, adopts, parents and leads his clan. Alpha enough he has absolutely no problem sharing his leadership with his new mate. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he does an awesome job at sexy times too.

Seducing the Dragon is an exciting addition to the Stonefire Dragons series. If you enjoy your paranormal with a bit of heat, suspense, and danger you’re going to really enjoy this one.

About Jessie Donovan

Jessie Donovan

Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pernseries by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets. In late 2014, she officially became a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author.
Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, she can often be found on Facebook.
