As always Emily Veinglory surprises me... and as aways it's a good surprise.

Father of Dragons is not the usual fantasy gay romance. Even if the main character is a high born man who loves man, sex is not the mainly aspect of this novel. And though I like my sex scenes, I don't find any lack in this romance. It has enthralled me from the very first page and Xeras is one of the best character I have found lately.

Xeras is a man born in a wealthy and noble family. He has made the error to fall in love with a commoner, and law forbid that (notice, it's not a crime he has fallen in love with a man, the crime is that the man is a commoner); his family resolves the matter killing his lover Drin. And Xeras choses to exiliate himself from his country. He starts a journey in unknown terrain with the only company of his lover's ghost. But during one of these adventures he meets a dragon female, Plegura, and after a night spent with her (and don't ask nothing I will not tell nothing!), he awakes pregnant of the dragon's child. He has been chosen to be Father of Dragons, and after the initial refusal, he begins to care for this little moster he bears inside him. After all Drin has always wanted children!

And as every right damsel in distress he also find a duke for himself, Carly. Carly is an handsome man and very very interested in Xeras, but what will he say when he will know about the little monster? and in this case, the little monster is not a tender definition for a spoilt child...

Father of Dragons is absolutely a wonderful reading. It has everything, humor, adventure, love. I can't put down this book until I have finished it and it has satisfied every expectation I have for.

Xeras is a fatalist man. He accepts everything happens to him and knows as to open his heart to new love and lovers. He is not a perfect and invincible knight in shining armour. He fails and suffers but everytime he stands up again.

Carly can be the prince charming of the story, but he is not Xeras' saviour. He borrows his strenght to Xeras, but his strenght lays in giving to Xeras a reason to live, like does the little monster, the unwanted but so cherished dragons child. All the story is about Xeras and his journey, and maybe a little about the dragons child. And maybe, in the end, is not Xeras the damsel in distress, but Carly!

I hope that Samhain Publishing will think to print this book, cause I sure want it for my library!

What if the sexy man in Jaguar who gives you a lift when your crappy car broke is a shapeshifter dragon? 

Well, if he can stay in mid-form, half human, half dragon, and in that form he retains the best of the two (you can only image what a dragon can do with his tail and not to speak of the well endowed family jewels he is so proud of...), a guy like Paul can only say: "thank you God!".

Paul is a normal guy with a shitty life. He is handsome and gentle, the perfect submissive lover, but till now he has found only a list of Mr. Wrong. So when he finally meets Mr. Right, Darrien, he has no problem to accept that his new lover his a shapeshifter dragon: in no way he will let go this man now he has met him, and if this means he has to surrender to him and grows horns and tails, well, it's a low price to pay.

From the first time Darrien smells Paul, he knows he has met his mate. But like an old gentleman he will not make love to him until Paul will accept to surrender to him and agree to be his mate and return back to his home realm after he will kill all the bad renegades dragons.

Paul is funny and tender, he makes you want to cuddle him. Darrien is the perfect knight in shining armour, I can't find a defect in him, but he is not hateful like all the perfect hero, instead his very nice and loveable.

This story is somewhat like a comic books. The Good Boys are all sooooo goooood and the Bad Boys are not so baaaaad. It's funny and lighthearted and mix paranormal with real life (a dickhead boss, a fuck buddy who want to play...). It's short and enjoyable, and the only "complete" sex scene is "incredible" and exciting: when Paul is making love to an handsome man and turns his head to see a demon-like being behind him...
