Book Blurb

Can an average man end up landing one of the hottest dragons in Denver?

 

Naga Industries wasn't Calvin's first choice of a place to intern. It wasn't even his tenth. But when every other internship spot is taken, he finds himself at the mercy of Draeke Lindwurm and he's way over his head. 

Draeke doesn't want an intern, but his go-to man is threatening to revolt if he doesn't get them both some help. Calvin is everything Draeke doesn't like in men. He's too young, too average, never on time, doesn't dress well, and worst of all Calvin is human which makes things complicated between them when he becomes a pawn in a power play with the world’s dragon elite.

 

Book Review

I know it's not a good idea to start off my review with a long quote, but to be honest, after I read this, I knew I was Team Drake, all the way.

“Hello, sir, I’m—” Draeke looked away from his screens to fix him with a withering glare. “Calvin Moore, average grades, average intelligence, fairly average overall. Your paladin isn’t so bad, but you lack a finesse, which gives away your need to be the best and also to seek out the approval of others. I know who you are, and I know you didn’t want to be here, but you needed an internship and I, unfortunately, need an intern at times."

See? Right? Yep, Drake was working for me on all cylinders, and Calvin pretty much had me from the first sentence. Anyone who is starting a new internship with mismatched socks, no tie, not enough sleep, and no jelly for his PBJ, had me wanting to protect and mother him. I guess it's pretty obvious why I chose this novella from its blurb, huh?

Naga Enterprises runs the world, or so Arach tells Calvin on his first day. Apparently they have their fingers in a lot of different communications pies, plus some other projects "just for fun". Calvin has no idea he's working with dragons since in this world, they aren't known. The dragons are immortal and have been running the world since the beginning of time. It's obvious very quickly that the dragons are behind most everything occurring in the world's political and financial markets. The power behind the throne, so to speak, or who a number of people believe the Koch brothers are.

I wasn't particularly surprised that the author didn't take too long before Calvin is put in a dangerous position and discovers the existence of paranormals - shifters, to be exact. Draeke has Calvin accompany him to Shanghai as the head of their Eastern office has been murdered and Draeke needs to investigate. Calvin is somewhat confused by this, but when their limos get attacked by tiger shifters and Calvin is taken, Draeke is one pissed-off serpent. So to speak. *grins*

A super fun and exciting tale, and I'm definitely looking forward to more. If you like unique shifters, dominant and cranky dragons, the men who worm their way into their hearts, and some hot, sexy action, then I highly recommend this novella.
