FIRST IN A NEW PARANORMAL SERIES!I like to pretend I’m just another immigrant trying make her way in New York City…but I’m not.You may know of my family from stories of an older age. Across all nations, all cultures, my family was once worshipped as gods, cursed as demons and shunned as otherworldly creatures.Reality? I am shen, but the worst kind of shen there is.One who would rather pretend to … of shen there is.
One who would rather pretend to be human than to rule them.
One with no magic.
One hunted by the immortal monster that killed my parents.
And now, I just discovered how grandma found us refuge in America, how she thought she could save me.
She betrothed me – to a dragon.

This is my first book by Kara and i like to say she did a great job.
I started reading the book on my lunch hour and I finished it on my break that’s how much I enjoyed this book. The characters were just a tad different which was something that I liked now the dragon Hunter he’s a little common but the female Sophie, she was something new something called a “shen”.
Love the fact the story contained a little Rebellion, a dose of lust, a great fight, and something so evil stink and a common ground for them to fight for. So the story had a little bit of everything so I don’t believe you could go wrong by reading it.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Full of love, the kind you die for, such is the foundation of this story. There is a great evil, lots of danger and yet there is a shimmer of hope that runs through the storyline. You are caught up in the tale from the first page until you reach the ending. You laugh, you cry and you go on wanting to see it through.

Bewitching start to new magical paranormal series! Grabbed my interest from the start with shifters, shen, monsters, dragons, creatures galore! Sophie is a shen with no magic whose Grandma has protected her from the evil that killed her parents. Now she learns she has another protector. Likeable, original characters and a good storyline equals a magical tale!
Voluntarily read ARC for honest review.
This is a new author to me and I get to start a new series also. Sophie is a shen, magical creature that takes on many forms, who is raised by her grandmother. When she finds out that she is having an arranged marriage she can no longer hide out. Her grandmother insists that it is for Sophie’s protection from the Devourer. With the introduction of her betrothed, Hunter a dragon, Sophie still tries to flee from the sexy stranger. With danger lurking around the corner will Hunter be able to protect Sophie?
This is a new to me author, but one I really did enjoy. This story was a quick read, but didn’t skimp on details. This is a paranormal read, one unlike any other I’ve read!
Sophie is of a ancient paranormal race, called the Shen. She was raised by her grandmother after her parents were killed by a being called The Destroyer. Her grandmother has been able to protect her so far, but to make sure she is safe if something happens to her, Grandmother has made arrangements for Sophie’s future. Grandmother has arranged a betrothal for Sophie. One that Sophie knew nothing about.
This book was a fun, quick read. It kept me interested, really pulled me in. The details were great, and there was lots of action to keep the story moving. I’m definitely going to keep my eye out for more stories by this author!
A short but interesting story about a woman descended from a line of magical beings and a dragon who is betrothed to her to protect her. Amidst danger that follows, neither thought they’d end up falling for each other. Good chemistry between the two and plenty of action. Wish the story was little longer.
I just went on a wonderful and fascinating vacation in the new paranormal Lick of Fire world where Kara Lockharte has written the first book in her new Dragon Lovers series – Betrothed to the Dragon. I was completely caught up in hot and steamy new world full of strong, intriguing new characters that easily drew me in and insisted I stay and visit for a while. The romance is sweet with lots of sizzling passion and the fast paced story kept me on the edge of my seat with lots of thrills and adrenaline pumping action.
I have to say this is the first time I have visited one of Kara Lockharte’s worlds and I have to wonder Why? I mean it is full of unique elements and characters and she describes her scenes vividly and her characters are strong and well developed. So, I will be adding her books to my TBR pile and reading them as I await the next book in this series.
2.5 Stars
I really really wanted to like this story, but it missed the mark in so many areas.
This is a story about a young woman raised to know that she is Shen ( a tricky fox) and she learns she is betrothed to a dragon in order to protect her from The Devourer.
The premise of the story is good, however, there are so many moments of climax that are written as blase moments that you almost don’t realize how critical these moments are. Over and over again the emphasis is put on some other minutely unimportant fact while the important parts are glazed over in one sentence.
Plus the writing was redundant and boring. I could use another round of edits as well.
