A new erotic paranormal series, starring dragon shapeshifters, kicks off with a very sexy debut...

Prince Dylan MacLeod is one of the last pure-blood dragon shape- shifters-and ruler of a dying race, the Dragonstar clan. It falls to him to protect his people and their ancient magic. But he has one important duty: to provide an heir...

Like all dragons, Dylan, who has a dark, rampant sexual appetite, can only procreate with his destined mate-for whom he's searched for the last five hundred years. But his quest is delayed when a disease sweeps through the Dragonstars, and Dylan must venture to the human world to find a cure. He tracks down bio-chemist Phoebe Quillum, never imagining the beautiful scientist would be the mate he's been seeking. But even with the fate of the clan on their shoulders, Phoebe and Dylan are overcome by their sexual desire.

Their passion turns to something truer, but when Phoebe is kidnapped by Dylan's oldest enemy, he must risk everything for his love and his clan...

    great dragon series, great characters.

    First in the series and hooks you on the close knit group this dragon clan is. Great characters, mystery, and twists. Strong women that stand up to their man & stands with them.

    I love Paranormal Romances, Like J R Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sherilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter's, Christine Feehan's Carpathians Dark Series...etc

    This Series is right up there with the greats in my Mind. Tessa Adams Is a wonderful writer. She gives the right amount of detail so u feel you are actually in the moment, or the place without overkill. u know the kind where u know every color of every rock,wall, whatnot & u fall asleep before u ever get to the good stuff...lol

    There is an Actual Story here. With Heart felt characters, Plenty of Romance, Drama, Amazing Action Scenes, and it has a LOT of HOT, Hot, Hot Steamy Love Scenes. Made me want a Dragon...m m m m. She writes with a wonderful since of humor which at times had me laughing out loud. The women are Strong in these books with believable roles..In this one a Scientist/Dr. It was amazing.

    I Loved this Book so much I read it in 24hrs, then Bought the 2nd one & had it read in 16 hrs....lol I have already Pre-ordered the 3rd and I am waiting on pins & needles til Oct 4th :D

    Good Chemistry

    This was a good read. First time I have read from this author and I am interested in reading more from her. I like the plot and it sets it up for a series. Hoping more books are to come. There is ample amount of sex and chemistry between the characters.

    Good story but with gaping holes in the plot

    Dylan, the king of the Dragonstar clan, seeks help from a human scientist after the failure of his clan's scientists to discover a cure for a fatal disease ravaging his people. To pique her interest and lure her to his clan's lands, he allows her to examine a sample of his blood. She can see that it's clearly different from human blood with reptilian blood cells mixed with the human cells. Dragons also have a much higher body temperature, faster heartbeat, and thicker skin than humans. Not to be a spoiler but, at the end, she turns out to be a dragon shifter as well. So how come she didn't have any of the same characteristics? No wonder she's surprised! I guess erotica doesn't need to have a consistent plot line. The author is too busy filling the pages with sex scenes to explain obvious anomalies. It was a pretty good story but I would have liked a little less sex (so repetitive and tedious) and a little tighter story line.

    entertaining romantic fantasy

    The Dragonstar clan of dragon shapeshifters is dying. Their last hope before extinction wipes them out is their King Dylan MacLeod, but he has searched for his soul mate unsuccessfully for five centuries; she is the only one h can truly mate and sire a child with.

    His people need help now so Dylan leaves his realm to enter the vile human sector seeking a cure to the deadly plague eradicating his clan. He turns to research biochemist Phoebe Quillum, whose Ivy League grant was canceled, agrees to investigate the conflagrant and its cure in exchange for three million dollars that she will use in her search for a cure to an extreme form of Lupus that killed her mother and sister. However, neither the purebred dragon-shifter nor the purebred human expected to fall in love. As she diligently seeking the elixir, the clan's enemies continue their pandemic assault.

    The first Dragon's Heat romantic fantasy is a wonderful shapeshifter tale starring a beleaguered hero and the equally forlorn woman he cherishes who is his last hope for his clan and his heart. Although too many subplots intrude, Dark Embers is an entertaining novel that fans will enjoy soaring with dragons.
