Description from the publisher:
Curvy Erika Williams is not the
woman she used to be - bossy, confident, determined. Her divorce sent her
spiraling, but now, two years later, she's coming to the conclusion that she
has had enough of living in fear and alone. It's time for a change. Challenges
are everywhere, money's tight, her house’s literally collapsing and then drop
dead gorgeous - and very human, at first sight - Noah enters Erika's life out
of the blue. Raised to believe shifters don’t mix with humans, she’s baffled to
discover her inner animal’s interest in Noah.
After years of struggling to build a quiet life among humans, things are finally going well for dragon shifter Noah Crosso. He has everything he needs, except a personal life, but that doesn’t bother him. Then, his dragon decides he finally wants a woman. When he sets his eyes on shy, curvy – very human, at first sight - Erika, he uses every excuse he can to be close to her. Having sworn off women a long time ago, Noah can’t believe his dragon is so attracted to a confusing, hot human.
Is their attraction strong enough for them to break their self-imposed barriers?
This is the 2nd book in the Lured by Fire series and it is a standalone with NO cliffhangers and a "happily ever after". It contains explicit language and sizzling hot scenes that might set your Kindle on fire. Intended for readers 18+.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MARKED DRAGON is the second book in
the Lured by Fire series. It does stand
on its own, but I would still recommend reading them in each and in the order
of release as well as the series from which this spins off.
Janet’s first Lured by Fire event at
SI is set to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but after so many successful previous
events this one isn’t looking good – mostly due to the weather. The event had been so built up in the first book
that I was disappointed in the non-event presented in the second book.
On the other hand, the story of Noah
and Erika from meet cute to epilogue is entertaining, intriguing, and sexy
naked-time at its best. I don’t want to
give away any of the unique aspects of the story (and there are many), but I
will say that these two are H.O.T!
This is the first time I have had to
split my Grammar and editing grade the way that I did because usually one grade
will cover both. Ms. Woodlove’s grammar
is fine in this book and I found very few errors, but as an erstwhile editor I would
have called this a lovely second draft and asked her to organize her thoughts
and her presentation a little more tightly.
It was like being within the mind of a person with ADHD. I liken this to a woman with too many chores
and not enough hours in the day (a state I understand all too well). You’ve taken the time to make a list, now put
them in the order that will get them done most efficiently. There was also some of Noah’s backstory that
needed more explanation to be clearer, including his timeline.
Bottom line: While I do feel this one was rushed to
publication, I wouldn’t miss a Woodlove story.
I know that I -will love- every one of them!
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
