I enjoyed this. I am not much of a fan for fantasy normally but this has a believable premise (if you believe in a real basis for fairy tales anyway) that works well. I I found I was interested in what was going to happen to the protagonists from the start and nothing jarred in the development of their characters.
I have a complaint about the blurb for this though, "....the men must decide if their own love can survive the interference of a goddess.". What a lot of rot, she More...

I was very hesitant about this book, since I usually stick close to my comfort zone and this one seemed to be way out there. And man, was I right! On the one hand, the whole back story of Kael's abuse and healing through his relationship with Hugh was great. I liked how they connected, how Kael opened up to Hugh and Hugh in turn was gentle and understanding with Kael. I liked George and the elf as secondary characters. They were very helpful in bringing the mythological aspect of the story More...

I personally loved this story. Most of the negative reviews I’ve read are more because they are reading a book that isn’t their type. So if your not interested in dragons, elves, magical domains, and suspending belief don’t read this book. However if you enjoy well written books that are dynamic with an unusual plot then you will enjoy this book. There was a lot of detail including character detail. The chemistry between the characters was steamy and done so well I never felt it was rushed. Ther

While I liked the overall story well enough to be determined to finish this read, I still think this read wasn't for me. I'm learning that I have trouble truly appreciating books that break from the present and go into a dream, blog musings, or a novel within the novel I'm reading. With a few rare exceptions, that kind of thing distracts me from the flow I was feeling or into while reading. I find it hard to switch back and forth seamlessly.

I have to say that the first reason for my choosing this book to read and review was the cover and the premise behind this paranormal story. The fact that I had yet to read a book that featured a main character named Hugh was also another reason.
Summary: Herpetologist, Kael Hammerson is hiding in Ireland working at a research lab. While Ireland may seem a strange place for someone in his field, it was the furthest away he could get from his abusive ex-partner. Now, a year later, hisMore...

There would seem to be no redeeming qualities in this story, if I focused on the details. For instance, I hate elves with a rather bloody-minded passion, and not only is one of the nasty creatures featured prominently in this book, but there are more in the background. I like consistency in characters, and the main character, Kael, wavered between full-blown panic attacks to jumping on a horse and charging a dragon armed with nothing but a stick. To make matters worse, the love-interest, Hugh, w

Kael has moved far from his home to get away from an abusive relationship. Now working as a herpetologist he is attracted to Hugh but can't imagine actually having any sort of relationship with his oh so sexy boss. Hugh for his part is drawn to Kael but unsure how to proceed. When a series of sightings of strange 'serpent/dragon'-like creatures start they are called in to investigate. Thrown together on the job and soon fighting creatures neither ever thought could exists they find a growing mut

I like the style of prose--very easy to read and understand. It wasn't boring although it did have parts where I'd found it a bit boring. I like how Kael grows to be a strong man with the help of Hugh, Mordred and George. The climax was a bit too short--the build-up was practically the whole book but the climax only had like 10 or less. But at least there's a sequel so I'm looking forward to how they will solve the dragon problem and who's responsible for that.

Kris (krisngoodbooks) was right...this is my favorite T.A. Chase book thus far. And here I thought I couldn't read a sci-fi(y) man love book ::snorts::. If I could have reached around and spanked my own butt, I wouldn't have. Chase does such an amazing job with the tortured, abused hero that I can't help but fall in love. Every. Damn. Time. For those of you who liked Angel's Evolution, Here Be Dragons is just as good.

I thought this was a very interesting story. I enjoyed the mix of science and fantasy and I loved the characters. Kael needs Hugh's love so much and Hugh does everything in his power to help erase the pain of Kael's past. Mordred and George are wonderful too and I loved the building connection between both couples. I thought T.A. Chase had the perfect way of explaining how Kael and Hugh were each able to accept the fantastic things they were experiencing. It has a HFN (happy for now) ending and

I very much enjoyed this book and have purchased the next 2 in the series. I love Kael - such a sympathetic hero. And Hugh is indeed his knight in shining honor.

I just couldn't finish this one (I left it in page 115 or so). The characters said nothing to me, I disliked the instalove, then the elf and George end up in the mix... the stupidest of all: working without gloves in the laboratory. There are non-latex gloves, and it's one of the basic safety measures to avoid grave injuries.

I liked this book well enough. But a couple things that prevented it from getting a higher rating was, one - all the crying going on by Kael Hammerson, dude, man up! And secondly part of how the book was written would totally take me of the story. I got confused as to who was talking sometimes. Anyhow I will probably read the rest of the series, because I like the stuff that T.A. Chase puts out, but it just won't be right away.

Did not like the relationships between the characters and was struggling to keep enough interest in the story to keep reading. When they all hooked up for the 4-way in the spring I just completely lost interest and only finished because it was for a GB-challenge. It was a tough read for me because I didn’t like the characters and they were not interesting

This was a struggle for me to finish. Plot wasn't exactly strong and the endearments got to be annoying, but this is a personal thing and I doubt anyone else would have the issue that I have with calling adults "little one" or "baby" or the like.
