Its a ebook available at RedRosePublishing.com
Author Missy Lyon's site of all her books.

DRAGON HEAT by Missy Lyons, is book one in the Dragon Heat Series. Being both a historical fantasy as well as a shape shifter of dragons, this is one totally unique and captivating read! Set in 1716 A. D. in Ridgecrest City, Island Of Sky, author Missy Lyons starts with a prologue that pulls the reader right into the story and the background of the heroine, Alyssa, as she is made captive, tortured and forced to turn over her father's shipping business. Feeling the emotions of Alyssa's torture both physically and emotionally brought about a start to this book that will make you mesmerized to continue reading to know her story more. Too, the empathy for the characters and story is strong, realistic and photographic. Each chapter may end but the need to grasp to the next chapter right away will be a guaranteed!

After close to one year from being captive and escaping the dungeons below of the King's home, Alyssa has been spending her year safely within a druid group of women called Elisaid, in the Mountains of Jabar. The Elisaid are a group of druid woman that have been cursed to finding love. They stay within their home of woman and deepen their skills in magic and fighting. Its here that Alyssa heightens her fighting skills as well as attempting to improve her magic. As she is not a druid like the Elisaid women are, her attempts with magic are met mostly with failure, but Alyssa's gifts of her physical strength keeps her safe and enhances her gifts through the year.

With rarely having any male visitors to their home of the Elisaid, Prince Xanther of the Royal House Of Sinclair, the King's son, visits the Elisaid woman in the mountains to pick two woman to serve the King for one year. As Alyssa and another woman are chosen, Alyssa plans to investigate and take on a revenge to all those who took so much from her, especially those who forced her to be branded with the dragon so she could be sold to slavery and lose her father's business. Those with Dragon Blood are branded with the Dragon to continue the line and they become Life Servants to the King, as their ones are becoming extinct. With both of Alyssa's parents dead, she believes she was branded falsely. As the King's son, Xanther recognizes those of his blood and is immediately gallant towards Alyssa as soon as he sees her and her dragon brand. With both Alyssa and Xanther both feeling the instant attraction to each other, Xanther is strong in his assertiveness of what he finds and wants of her but Alyssa tries to resist the attraction as her past reminds her of attending towards the revenge she plans on.

The world building of this story is wonderfully written, both very arresting and so well established with ease and understanding in DRAGON HEAT, that it becomes genuine. The world of DRAGON HEAT is so realistic that its felt as being transported into that time as place in the castle and lands as the story unfolds. The intensity of Alyssa and Xanther love is one that grows and struggles through the book as Alyssa also has to confront her past and future. There will be many times for tears as well as smiles when watching their relationship soar reading DRAGON HEAT. Both warm and beautiful, the tension of both the sensuality and adventure, made for a gripping story of Alyssa and Xanther.

It was truly a wonderful joy to read DRAGON HEAT by Missy Lyons. This book is a full novel and available at Red Rose Publishing. There were so many times that there was no way to put this book down with the enthralling story of the romance and drama of this book. It is so hoped that Liam and Elsbeth, two other characters in DRAGON HEAT, would have their story told as well as the fight to solve the curse. Lady Isabelle, Mother Superior of Elisaid, the leader, having a background with the King, makes you want to know more as how she got to where she was. Its hoped that her story too will be told, and a truly to just to be able to re-visit this so enchanting world. The beauty and joy of DRAGON BLOOD by Missy Lyons, earns and deserves all the five roses.

EYES OF CROW by Jeri Smith-Ready

I am just finishing EYES OF CROW by Jeri Smith-Ready from Luna. I was totally captivated and pulled into this story that it was so hard to put down. The emotions I went through reading this book were those of sadness, joy, anticipation and so much fullfillment! This is a LUNA fantasy romance book, more so fantasy, but too its a beautiful sweet romance story within. This is my first time reading a LUNA book! I wasn't sure that I would like Fantasy with romance on the light side, but this book is so absorbing and too the fantasy of the heroine being bound as a Spirit of the Crow, helping people peacefully to The Other Side, is so beautiful to read and believe. The author had the characters so unique, that each one you will want to know more of. I felt like, even though I have my faith, I also have more sense of peace from reading this book. The author has really created a world that is so believing through the characters. When reading this, you'll too be able to visualize all you read as if you are watching it happen before you. But too the hero of the story, has his own tortured soul that makes you want to know more about him as a Spirit of the Wolf. I'm looking forward to the next book of the heroines's Rhia, journeys of helping people of her world through this stage in life as well as her romance with her hero, Marek.
