Cecilia Lane grew up in a 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.

         Wow this was different and I loved it. The book catches you from the first page, to the end taking you on the ride of your life. Oh Yes "DragShifterrific".
         Lola Moreau is a Human Dragon Slayer she wishes. If she wasn't held back by her crazy brothers she could be. A women's place is in the yada, yada, yada! BAH! So they thought but she would teach them she could fight. WRONG!!! This only gets her into trouble let alone captured.
          Rafael Hart it's a Dragon Shifter who was sworn to take care of Princess Cassandra de Rege with his life if need be. Rafe, Levi and Brody were Dragonsworn to have his symbol burned into his chest with a drop of blood is an honor not many have. Taking care and guarding the Princess was basically nothing, finding a slayer and watching her proved to be far tougher for Rafe, especially when he realizes she is his Mate.
         OMG this book is Dynamite will book #2 be the same?
         A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

    Something happened to Lola that she never intended or expected - she fell in love with a dragon named Rafael. Being that she is part of a dragon slayer clan, this is a big NO-NO. But it's not long before Lola realizes that everything she was taught about dragons is wrong. Rafael knows that Lola is his fated mate but is having a hard time with it because she is a dragon slayer. But love rules over all the objections. This is a well written story with lots of action and a happily ever after.

    This is the first book in the series and I have to say it was a great start to the series. There was plenty of action and twists. I loved that Lola was intelligent and had a mind of her own. Rafe was forceful, but gentle and kind with Lola. I wanted to know more about them at the end so I'm hoping they will come up in the future books. If you like a good story about dragon shifters, this is your book.

    The first in a new dragon series.

    A well written and very well edited story. An interesting new take with some believable world building. The part I liked most of all was all of it. What impressed me and kept my interest was there was little to no angst and redundancy. I do feel, however, the author could have spent a few more words in describing the environment around the characters.

    There has to be a back story somewhere because there are important secondary characters where their cursory glossings just don't sit right with the whole of the story.

    A selected read for a review trade.

    This is a nice twist on a dragon story. Lola just want to prove that she can be a fighter of the slayers. Rafael is a guard for the child of the royal family of dragons. He catches her breaking into their tower and right away he knows she his mate oh what a bunch of trouble this is going to be. So enjoy the read and there are more to this series! !

    5.0 out of 5 stars Saved by fate
    Reviewed in Australia on December 21, 2016
    Rafe has finally fulfilled his life's destiny, he has become a dragonsworn. His duty to protect the royal baby. Lola has spent her whole life knowing how evil dragon shifters are, they will name, destroy and kill anything in their way, all she wants is to protect other humans from the dragon abominations. When her brothers won't let her fight, she sneaks out to kill a dragon on her own, but when the dragon she tries to kill saves her life, she may have to rethink what she's been taught her whole life. Rafe can't believe that woman that just tried to kill him is his mate, luckily the consort has announced that Lola is not to be harmed. Rafe must glean information from Lola, but the secrets she keeps could destroy all the dragons she's growing to like.

    This was a fabulous story. It made you realize that everything isn't as it seems, and that sometimes the enemy are actually your allies. Rafe's instant acceptance of Lola was just beautiful. The ending was great. This was an absolute pleasure to read.

    I received a copy of this book for a VOLUNTARY, completely honest, and non-incentivized review

    This book was fantastic. A sexy dragon sworn to protect the next heir but then meets his fated mate. Nothing goes right at the start then a kidnapping whatever next. I would recommend this book.
