Alisa Woods’ HEART OF A DRAGON starts after book one, KISS OF A DRAGON, left off.  Dragon shifter Lucian Smoke is fighting his urge to claim Arabella Sharp as his mate for fear of losing her.  However, if he doesn’t claim a mate soon and have a dragonling, he will be overcome by the wyvern.  This contemporary PNR takes place in Washington State and is suitable for adult audiences.

I like Lucian.  He has a good heart.  He is afraid to put Arabella in danger because he loves her.  I was disappointed with some of his actions in this story, but it is understandable what drives him.  I love that so many people care about him and fight for him and Arabella.  Arabella is smart, strong, and determined. I love that she does not give up on Lucian.

I like blue dragon, Cinaed.  He is a loyal friend to Lucian.  He makes a good guard for Arabella.  I love his interactions with Arabella’s best friend, Rachel.  Those two are pretty humorous.

The plot continues to be exciting and well-thought-out.  We discover the history and details of the treaty between the Fae and House of Smoke.  Zephan emerges in the story again.  He is not a nice Fae.  He is a ruthless foe to Lucian.  Some of the things he has done are unforgivable.  I like how this story ended, and I look forward to book three FIRE OF A DRAGON.
