BREATH OF FIRE by Liliana Hart

This is not your average dragon book and I've read a lot of them. The heroine is both the focus and the power of the story. I was hooked from my first glimpse of Rena Drake. . . and not just because Liliana is one of my overall favorite authors. ~ DM

DESCRIPTION

Rena Drake is descended from a society that was created 500,000 years before Atlantis—the Drakán. Since their Banishment to the human world, Rena has become an Enforcer for her people, keeping the peace among her dragon brethren and making sure their identities stay a secret. 

When a group of rogue Drakán begins killing others of their race who refuse to join the army of The Destroyer—the man from Prophecy they believe will finally be the true king—Rena has no choice but to take action. Killing others of their kind is an automatic death sentence, and Rena’s job demands that she draw up a warrant of execution before they kill again. Every clue leads Rena to believe that Julian, leader of one of the five clans, is The Destroyer. But when Rena confronts Julian to kill him, she discovers that he is her lifemate, deemed so by the gods from the blue mating fire that engulfs them—a power thought lost since the Banishment.

Matters are further complicated by Noah Ford, a psychic who works for the FBI. Rena knows he’s keeping his true identity a secret from her, but she’s drawn to him just as she’s drawn to Julian. Noah vows to become her protector against The Destroyer, but it’s going to be difficult for Noah to keep his promise when her life force is tied to the man she’s destined to kill.

DRAGON BOUND by Thea Harrison

This is yet another book a friend recommended to me because she knew I love dragons.  Thea Harrison's lead character in Book 1, Dragos Cuelebre, is one of those romance heroes you'll be thinking about long after you finish the book.  Trust me--lol. I now own this author's entire paranormal romance collection on my Kindle.  ~ DM

BOOK 1 of the ELDER RACES Series

DESCRIPTION

Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful–and passionate—of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in one another.

The Elder Races series is set in an alternative universe where magical and mythological creatures live openly alongside humankind.  The stories are full of insouciant sexy alpha heroes and the

strong-minded heroines that tame them.   ~ From Thea
