Why does a dragon shifter make
a better lover than all other shifters?
Let me start by saying I’m not
exactly sure that dragon shifters make better lovers than werewolves or any
other shifter, but they certainly exhibit qualities that rank them at the top of
the paranormal genre list!
1-They’re protective—it’s no
secret that dragons love treasure. Most stories of dragons consist of the
massive creature living in a cave or lair, guarding something
valuable. I think this protective instinct translates when the dragon shifts
into a man, only that treasure becomes the woman he falls in love with. Who
wouldn’t want to be cherished, protected, and held on high by a man who only
has eyes for her?
2-They’re dangerous—when in
dragon form, these creatures are warriors. They fly the skies, challenging
other dragons, claim territory (as in Forbidden by Fate), and fight with brute
strength. (Some stories include dragons breathing fire, which would add to the
aspect of danger, but I chose to forego that.)
When they shift into man, that hint of danger translates over. They can
be brash with a fiery demeanor or be on the quiet side with a mischievous bite.
They have to be tough as nails and willing to fight for what’s theirs. In my
opinion, there’s nothing sexier than a man willing to stand up and fight for
what he wants…especially if what he wants is you.
3-They’re enormous by
nature—enough said, right?
4-They’re awe-inspiring—dragons
are beautiful creatures. They’re majestic, with tear-dropped scales that
glimmer in the sun, catching its rays. They’re large, yet elegant, maneuvering
through the sky with effortless grace. That beauty, that radiance, is what
captivates me most. Think of the chest of a man, chiseled with muscle,
glistening with sweat. Now think of that man, not simply standing there doing
nothing—though that wouldn’t be so bad, would it?—but wielding a sword, working
a ranch, sparing with an ally, or working out at the gym. Put that
bronze-chested man doing something that he excels at, and you’ve got the kind of
awe-inspiring grace I’m talking about.
Put those traits together and I
think you’ve got one hell of a lover.

Book Blurb:
A forbidden love……
A second chance……
A night of passion neither will forget.
Sasha, a love-thirsty werewolf and
rightful heir to the Were throne, is ready to take control over her pack. But
when her first love, dragon shifter Damon Frost, lands on her doorstep,
demanding their races negotiate ownership over Feralon’’s hot springs, he makes
her question more than the fight for the enchanted neutral ground. No matter
the emotions bubbling inside her, Sasha can’’t become involved with Damon. Not
now. Not ever again.
Forbidden to step foot onto Were land
after a romp with the Alpha’’s daughter as a teenager, Damon has bided his
time, waiting for the day when he’’d be accepted back onto Were land. Using the
hot spring negotiation as a way to get closer to Sasha, Damon plans to use
every minute alone to remind her of the passion they shared–—a passion they
could ignite again.
One night of ecstasy stands between
them and the fight for the springs. One night of revealing glances, skin
searing chemistry, and erotic desires they’’d long buried.
Will one taste of forbidden love be
enough to satiate their desires? Or will the need to explore the depths of
their love unleash a Were-Draco war?
