Dance of the Dragon

by Cathryn Fox

When you tempt a dragon, be prepared for the fire…

Zoologist Chloe Stevens is certain she’s on a wild-goose chase. There are worse things than being forced to travel to a remote South Pacific island, but to search for a dragon? She’s sure the real reason she’s been sent to find a creature that doesn’t exist is that her boss—and ex-lover—wants her out of the way while he properly initiates a new team member.

Whatever. Might as well relax and enjoy her all-expense-paid “assignment”, aka vacation on Ryuu Mountain. The secluded resort is the perfect place to indulge in a little carefree, hedonistic sex. Especially with Jared, the drop-dead-gorgeous bartender.

Their hot fling quickly melts into something deeper. When Jared reveals he is more than he seems, Chloe has a decision to make. Whether to take her discovery public and make her mark in the scientific world. Or keep his secret to herself—and surrender body and soul to the only man who sets the woman in her on fire.

This book was so forgetable that I actually just discovered it on my Kindle already read. I had to scan through it for some level of responsible recall. I think Ms. Fox may not be a bad author but I don't think the novella format was right for this tale. She has too much to say so the story feels rushed. She is trying to show us Chole is not a shallow, easy lay and that she has a destiny. It didn't work for me because it moved too fast. Jared also appears shallow because he is not developed and his dragon heritage is skimmed over at best. Some may consider this erotica, so it may seem unrealistic to expect the characters to be more than bodies in motion. I even thought the sex was rushed. Maybe, it's too much to ask but I felt that the foundation was solid and could have been a pretty good book with a few more pages. I am open to reading Ms. Fox's work again as long as it comes as a recommendation first.
