Title: I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie
 Series: The Dragon Series #1 
Author: Lani Lynn Vale 
Genre: Paranormal Romance

Keifer Vassago, The Prince of Dragons, has enough on his plate without adding a brunette with a bad attitude to the mix Fate has a way of screwing all his plans, though, whether he wants them screwed or not. One second he’s fetching his brother from yet another situation that could possibly compromise the Vassago name, and the next that brunette is grabbing his assets. Blythe isn’t after anyone’s assets, though. She’s a good girl. All she wants is to graduate from nursing school, get a job, and move out of her hell hole apartment. What she does not have time to deal with is a sexy bearded man that accuses her of grabbing his junk. She tries to forget about the encounter, but fate’s a cruel bitch. One second she’s a normal college student barely living paycheck to paycheck, and the next she’s setting her panties on fire with powers from an ancient immortal dragon. To add insult to injury, she’s hearing voices, and none of them are figments of her imagination. Blythe’s life is turned upside down, and Keifer forces her to adapt even though she doesn’t want to. She likes her life just the way it is. Not to mention she wants nothing to do with that arrogant asshole. She doesn’t care that he rides a dragon. She also could care less about his stupid beard, and his sexy eyes. Yeah, who was she kidding? She wasn’t convincing anybody.

A great start to a new Urban Fantasy series from Lani Lynn Vale!Looking at the title and synopsis one would assume that this book is just another dragon shifter story.But, it isn't.In this world that the author has created, dragons exist and humans are aware of their existence.There are a special category of people known as the dragon riders, who bond with these dragons when they reach maturity.Keifer Vassago is the prince of the dragon riders.He runs into Blythe when trying to get his brother to come away from his fling's apartment.Both are instantly attracted to each other, but neither of them know the importance or the meaning of the connection between them.

The same day, Keifer loses his powers and Blythe sets her hair and panties on fire!Turns out, they are mates and since the process has begun, his powers have been transferred to Blythe.He takes Blythe away to their sanctuary for safety and slowly they begin to develop a relationship.Blythe forms a bond with Keifer's dragon and begins to learn how to control her powers.Throw in a sect of dragon-rider-haters, a crazy family and a scary prophecy, we get a fantastic romance with action,suspense and steam.

I loved the characters in this book.Blythe is such a feisty heroine.Some interactions between her and Keifer were downright hilarious!And the chemistry between them was well done!Keifer's family was also pretty awesome.The author has put in a lot of work into creating a unique and original world with a very interesting background and history.The dragons were also fascinating.My favorites were Declan and the three ice dragons!

My only gripe with the book is that I think the author could have spent more time developing the relationship between Keifer and Blythe.It felt a little rushed with all the things and distractions going around them.The ending scenes also had a lot of action packed into them.All in all, it was a great start for a completely unique fantasy series!Can't wait for the next book in the series! :D

I woke up to my lower half on fire.

At first, I thought it was just an aftereffect of my dreams, but when I finally peeled my eyes open, I could smell smoke.

When I opened my lids and looked down, it was to literally find my panties on fire.

I screamed and rolled; rolling so far in the bed that I hit the floor and kept going.

By the time the fire was finally out, my panties were burned to ash. However, my skin was perfectly fine. In fact, the hairs that I’d planned on having waxed later in the week were gone.

It’d given me a fire waxing…minus the wax.

“What the fuck?” I yelled, staring down at my now hair-free mound.

Blasphemy.

My eyes widened and I looked around. Was someone in the room with me?

I started reaching for the lamp but couldn’t find it. There was a pile of things beside the bed that I’d knocked over in my haste to get up. I could only assume that the lamp was one of those things.

“Light, light, light,” I chanted, shifting through the things on the floor.

My candles that I had interspersed around the room all lit at once, and I screamed.

“What the hell is going on?” I shrieked.

Macy started hammering on the wall, or her boyfriend. Whatever. Fuck her.

I narrowed my eyes at the wall.

That stupid heifer! I’m allowed to scream if I want to. She fucks day and night, and she’s going to bang on my wall to get meto quiet down?

Master Farrow has always had excellent stamina with the ladies.

I froze, turning around and scanning the room.

“Who’s there?” I asked nervously.

A deep, rumbly laugh filled my head and my eyes widened.

“Holy mother of God, get out of my head!” I yelled.

The voice in my head continued to chuckle. Oh, this is almost as good as when Prince Keifer came into his powers. He didn’t shriek like you do, though.
