I don't know where she comes up with her books, but I can't wait to read the next one. I hope she never quits writing. Each book can be read separately, but why would you want to?
Red Dragon's Desire
by Anastasia Wilde
Cazbek, fire dragon of the Al-Maddeiri clan, has been a captive most of his life: slave, conscripted soldier, prisoner of war, parolee.
At least he kept trading up—all the way to a Seattle penthouse and a position as head of security for the Al-Maddeiris’ corporate holdings. He’s been given power, unlimited resources, and even the trust and friendship of their king—Emon, the Darkwing Dragon. Well, unless the crazy bastard gets pissed at him one time too many and fries him to a crisp with a lightning bolt.
Theoretically, Cazbek isn’t a prisoner anymore. He could leave whenever he wants—assuming he had anywhere to go. But his life still feels like a cage, and there’s a dark, primal force deep inside him threatening to burst out and tear him apart.
Then he meets her…
Lucinda Cross is convinced she’s about as ordinary as it gets—not beautiful, not brilliant, not especially brave or badass. She’s just looking for a job that doesn’t suck, so she can afford her photography habit: making a record of life’s tiny everyday moments—their beauty and humanity.
Until one night she’s almost abducted outside a nightclub—and is rescued by a hot, mysterious man who is anything but ordinary. More like a superhero, especially when he takes her into hiding in his freaking penthouse lair. It’s like being in a glass fairy-tale castle in the sky.
But even though Lucinda is sure she's no Beauty, Cazbek definitely has a Beast side—and piles of secrets he can’t share. Can Lucinda trust him to keep her safe—and even more, can she trust him with her heart?
Reviews
Great story line, can't wait until you get the other two done. Can't wait to see who you match Zake with.
I really enjoyed reading Cazbek’s story. I’m glad he got his happily ever after. If your a fan of Anastasia Wilde. You’ll love this book. Can’t wait for the next book.
Well, I'm honestly kind of on the fence here. I liked the story line, seeing from older favorite characters and some of the new characters. Her writing style is one that I enjoy.
But.....I'm very much over the Alpha who is basically super into random casual sex an obscene degree. Cazbek for me wasn't that likeable or relatable and while I hoped he would be by the end, he really wasn't.
There was a large amount of what I refer to as "inner dialogue" and while I think that is needed, I also feel like it can be too much sometimes. Here I thought there was a little too much.
Lucinda was likeable, but I won't lie that she sometimes seemed like she couldn't decide if she was going to be a strong character or not.
Overall it was good and I will likely read the next one.
Chuckles, heart warming and heart retching with an HEA. I enjoyed sharing their journey to find one another and grow together
Enjoyed this story about the Red Dragons and look forward to the next one. Loved the bff Sophie and hope she get a dragon or wolf in the future stories. Liked that this dragon was rock star and hope his and Lucinda are a part of future red dragon stories. Cameo appearance of Flynn and Bad Blood children was great. Waiting for next one!
I really enjoyed this one. This one was funny and light. It seems like it went backwards in the time line. Before the wild blood shifters grew up.
I loved the humor in this book. The drama, action and romance are really good too. A great addition to this series. I received this book as an arc and this is my honest review
Cazbec and Lucinda fell in love across a crowded club floor. Lucinda and her bff were given VIP tokens to hear a new band at the hottest night club in town. Lucinda don't like the vibe she was getting from her blind date he made her skin crawl. Then the band goes on stage and the world stands still. Cazbec and Lucinda lock eyes and Cazbec's dragon is intrigued by this beautiful human. He looks for her after his set and finds her going to the restroom. He can't stop thinking about her and saves her from being kidnapped by vampires. The cops get involved with is bad news for the club and Cazbec. King Eron doesn't want the cops nosing around his people or club. Cazbec decided that After having to save Lucinda again from the vampires he is taking her home with him. Soon both start having stronger and stronger feelings for each other. With the news that some other women might be being held as blood slaves the dragons go on a rescue mission. The ordeal ties Cashed and Lucinda together as true mates.
