- This cover made me think of another recent series I read and absolutely loved - Stephanie Rowe's "Must Love Dragons," "Date Me, Baby, One More Time," and "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Hot."
- The main characters Lisa and Caleb just weren't that interesting to me. He was basically a nice bod and she was just to even keeled for me. Malcolm and Saba, however, were a totally different story! I *wanted* to read about them. Malcolm is kind of like one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters if your familiar with them.
- Good plot, story, and imagery. There are dragons, witches, demons, and even an alternate universe "Dragonspace."
- The first half of the book was just so so for me. The second half improved but I definitely enjoyed the secondary characters much more than the main two. I think Book 2, "The Black Dragon" will be much better. =)

This was a pretty good story but not great where I want to rush out and buy the rest of the series(though I already have the 2nd story since I bought them at the same time). As someone else mentioned, the secondary characters seem more interesting and they're in the next book! There's a lot of magic and oriental legends and all going on that I found a little hard to follow. At the beginning it's hard to tell who's 'good' and who's 'bad' but it becomes clearer as the story progresses. It just felt like a lot of serious 'magic' going on interspersed with some sex and silly/funny moments like the dragon(s) watching sports on tv..stuff like that that I found cute. I like the 2 books by G.A. Aiken better I think but this was still a pretty good read.

The cover kinda looked like a "cheesy" type romance novel, but it was really enjoyable. I like that is was set in modern times, on earth and not "old world" or on some other planet like many dragon/fantasy stories. The characters are interesting, funny, and diverse.
I cant wait to read the next book to see what happens w/ the witch & the black dragon. There was great fantasy, romance & lots of steamy sex scenes (even a small gay sex scene ...so if that bothers you, you may pass on this one) and even a good bit of laugh out loud humor. Lots of Dragons, Witches & Demons. Overall, it was really enjoyable, even though it had a couple spots where it lagged just a tiny bit. I would recommend esp. if you liked the Must Love Dragons series as another member mentioned. I will be reading the next one ...right now! :)
