Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:

On her first visit to Clan Stonefire, Department of Dragon Affairs inspector Evie Marshall has an ulterior motiveā??she needs to seduce its clan leader. If she can't seduce him and become his mate, the dragon hunters will kill her. Of course, Evie doesn't know the first thing about seducing a man, let alone a dragon-shifter, but with her life on the line, she's going to have to become a fast learner or die trying. 
Bram Moore-Llewellyn has a track record of scaring off DDA inspectors, but when the latest inspector shows up wearing tight clothes and a sexy smile, his inner dragon takes notice. While battling his attraction to the human, he soon finds himself with an impossible choice: he can either break the law to mate the female and risk a backlash from both the dragon hunters and the British government, or he can turn her away and let her die at the hands of the hunters. … (more)

This is really not that great. I just don't think the writing is very good. The general idea is good; this could have been great fantasy-romance. But the execution is lacking. The dialogue, particularly the inner dialogue, is simplistic and tends to repeat the obvious. Come to think of it, the characters are the same. The relationships are ridiculous; obligatory friction for about half a day, then instant mad love and sex.
The female lead sets out to seduce one of the dragons and then acts offended when people are suspicious of her.
Then it's pretending to have equality between men and women, but the 2 female protectors (dragons!) get overwhelmed by dragon hunters in about 3 seconds. At one point, one of the characters actually says: she is strong for a woman.

A lot of this I could have overlooked if only it had been written well... It's not like I was expecting high literature, I was ready for a predictable story and some simplicity. But this kind of book has been done by others, and then a while lot better. This is just amateurish. ( )

Fun book, but I side-eye the view towards infertility put forward in this book. The heroine has been tested and can't reproduce with dragon shifters and the hero is effectively infetrile, but then it turns out they're "true mates" and true mates can always make babies! And it feels like the book is saying if you're infertile then you just need to find the right person and then that'll be fixed! Which is, uh, not a great take. ( )
