Preview About a Dragon
For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by - wait for it - a silver maned dragon. Existence as a hated outcast is nothing new for a woman with such powerful secrets. The dragon, though? A tad unusual. This one has a human form to die for, and knows it.According to dragon law, Talaith is now his property, for pleasure...Or otherwise. But if Lord Arrogance thinks she's the kind of damsel to acquiesce without a word, he's in for a surprise...Is the woman never silent? Briec the Mighty knew the moment he laid eyes on Talaith that she would be his, but he'd counted on tongue-lashings of an altogether different sort. It's embarrassing, really, that it isn't this outspoken female's magicks that have the realm's greatest dragon in her thrall. No, Briec has been spellbound by something altogether different - and if he doesn't tread carefully, what he doesn't know about human women could well be the undoing of his entire race...
From BooklistBriec has battled dragons and men and wooed women. A dragon couldn’t have a better life, but his brother’s recent mating makes him wonder if maybe there’s a bit more to be had. A brief encounter with a peasant woman, Talaith, convinces him that she should be the one. But Talaith has more pressing issues than entertaining a dragon, no matter how alluring: danger looms on the horizon, and she may be the only one to stop it. The second installment in Aiken’s trilogy (Dragon Actually, 2008) follows in the quirky, humorous tradition of Xena, offering a welcome high fantasy with modern sensibilities. Briec really is an arrogant son-of-a-dragon, and more amusing and lovable for it. He and Talaith walk the well-worn path of the bickering sweethearts who seem to love best when at their worst, and Aiken’s use of crude references in sex scenes may violate reader comfort zones, but this tale should definitely please fans of sexy shape-shifters and epic sagas. --Nina C.
