Burning for the Dragon: Dragon Shifter Romance (Fated Hearts Club Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 360 ratings

Has fate given them everything only to cheat them of their happy ending?

A reluctant ruler...
When his brother is killed by a dragon slayer, Luca de Rege becomes the unexpected heir to the Dragon Throne. Used to answering only to himself, he’s now responsible for finding a mate and ensuring that the rapidly-dwindling dragon shifter population doesn’t go extinct. He doesn’t have high hopes for his visit to the Fated Hearts Club… until he spots the curvy temptation sitting at the bar.

A woman alone...
After a shattering betrayal, Penelope Minett has given up on love. Though a friend talks her into attending an event at the Fated Hearts Club, she’s resigned to a life of solitude. The last thing she expects is for an impossibly sexy, irresistibly charming billionaire to sweep her off her feet.

A desperate attack...
Just as her defenses start to melt in response to his fiery desire, a threat from Luca’s past takes aim at the throne by targeting Penelope. He’ll stop at nothing to rescue her and claim his mate -- but will he be in time to stop a cruel, relentless enemy from destroying their future?

Burning for the Dragon is a standalone story set in the Fated Hearts Club world. Expect sexy, shape shifting heroes and curvy beauties, with a dash of complications along the way.

Cecilia Lane grew up in what most call paradise, but she insists is humid hell. She escaped the heat with weekly journeys to the library, where she learned the basics of slaying dragons, magical abilities, and grand adventures.

When it became apparent she wouldn’t be able to travel the high seas with princes or party with rock star vampires, Cecilia hunkered down to create her own worlds filled with sexy people in complicated situations. She now writes with the support of her own sexy man and many interruptions from her goofy dog.

    Great story with strong characters. The story moves along at such a fast pace that before I knew it I was sadly at the end and could of been with these characters forever I was so attached. Great action in this book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The sex is very steamy and love it! The only thing I can say bad about this book was it too short . I would of liked it to be a bit longer, I read it so fast. The story moves along great , the passion level is a 10 ! No cliff hanger and a happy ending. A great book , I truly enjoy a love story that has all of the elements this book has. This is a book you don't want to miss out on if you like Dragon shifter romance.

    Luca is suddenly the heir when his brother is killed by a slayer. He is not prepared for the role or for the expectations that come with being the heir, but he is going to try even though he doesn’t expect much to happen. When he finds his mate at the Fated Hearts Club things are looking up. Or are they? Luca and his mate Penelope have a tough time to their happily ever after, but they don’t give up. Well- written and fun, I would recommend this story to anyone who likes paranormal romance.

    This is the first book I've read written by Cecilia Lane and it won't be the last . It is a great story weaving the tale of a human who has given up on love and a dragon shifter who must find his mate to sit on the throne of Dragon kind, all of this after loosing his brother to what is thought to be dragon hunters. The author has a good storyline, characters who are both likeable and a few you want to hate. There is some laughter as well as hot sex. A 5☆ read in my opinion. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves dragons and paranormal romance. I received a gifted copy and am voluntarily choosing to leave an honest and unbiased review.

    Luca de Rege needed to find a mate to further the family line. His close bear friend Carson comes up with a solution...hit up the Fated Hearts Club.....think of it as speed dating.
    Penelope Minett was done with men and love after several devastating breakups. Her close friend from college Vera has other ideas. She drags Penelope to the Fated Hearts Club for an evening of fun and the open bar.
    There she meets Luca who slowly realizes she is his mate.
    There is danger on the horizon. Can Luca keep the next possible Consort to the King safe from harm?
    Well crafted tale that flows smoothly from beginning to end. It is a fast engaging read that will keep your interest to the last page.

    Luca and Penelope's story is a modern day fairytale brought to life. The Fated Mates Club is the popular newspot for shifters and humans alike to meet others and possibly find their true mates. The devastatingly handsome dragon shifter meets the curvy, disillusioned female and instantly knows she is his one and only, his mate for all time. Travel with Penelope and Luca as they defeat all obstacles in their quest for love. Great book with lovable characters and a fairytale happily ever after.

    Luca may be forced to finally settle down, but he would do it on his own terms; he needs to find a mate before his parents abdicate. Luca doubts he will find his mate at the Fated Hearts Club, but it is a start. After a series of break-ups, Penelope is done with men and love, but Penelope’s friend Vera tells her that those that found their soul mates were immensely loyal. Penelope is fascinated by the existence of shifters; the idea of a sexy man with an irrefutable wild side appeals to her and she has been alone too long. When Penelope meets Luca she cannot believe her luck; he is both funny and attentive. Luca has dressed down and many women have ignored him, but not Penelope; does she know who he truly is? Even so, he enjoys her sense of humour; she is light, breezy and fun and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and he wonders if she will accept him as her mate. Penelope reads about Luca online, but he is nothing like the Luca she joked with at the Club; will his loyalty to her last? Luca talks to Penelope about his brother Leo, while she tells him that she wants something to care about, she wants to love and be loved; Luca feels a pull to Penelope that goes beyond the call of the dragon to mate, or the need for someone to rule at his side, but he needs her to feel the same before he marks her as his own. Penelope hopes for more than one night, but he has called her his mate which hints at a lot more, that is until Alexa makes an appearance. Once lovers, Luca soon realised that Alexa was only interested in him for his family connections; even his dragon felt uneasy around her. Now she has invaded his lair, turned away his mate and is trying to seduce him. Penelope’s life is in danger; she didn’t even know the role she played, but she was threat enough to warrant kidnapping.

    Wow I couldn’t put this book down. I was mesmerised by it. The dragon king to be has his parents on his back to find his consort, so he chooses the fated hearts club where he meets a curvy woman who might just be his fated mate. They both have issues and a jealous arrival. Can they get together and have the happily ever after. You’ll have to find out. I was given this book as an arc for a honest review.

    Penny and Luca's story is not a straightforward affair.
    Murder, kidnapping and a thirst for power try to get in the way.
    Great story to read on a rainy day curled up on the lounge.
    Only one negative, the scene in the shower, was too long,
    I started to worry about their water bill. lol.😃
