It’s always a bad idea to fall for a hot mysterious billionaire with a spooky castle.
Especially when you find out he’s a dragon.
Night nurse Andi Ngo was desperate for money to bail her idiot brother out of jail. A one time nursing gig seemed like the perfect deal: lots of cash, no questions asked. Even when her employer turns out to be the notorious billionaire Damian Blackwood, Andi is … notorious billionaire Damian Blackwood, Andi is determined to keep quiet and finish the job.
But when Damian saves her life from a monster, there’s no forgetting what she saw — not his insanely superhero physique, not the hungry way he looks at her, like she’s some priceless treasure to be possessed, and definitely not the fact that he’s got another hidden self; he’s an honest-to-god dragon.
Andi knows the dragon shifter’s secret and he’s definitely far from pleased.
After a night of monsters and mayhem, he takes her home in his fancy sports car and….asks her for a date.
The expensive well-tailored suit can’t disguise the fire in his eyes and wildness in his savage smile.
She should say no.
What if she says yes?
Author note: This is the first of a slow burn paranormal romance series featuring a hot dragonshifter hero: heck yes, explicit scenes are in here but you’ll have to be patient for the HEA to come.

Wow, this book is so exciting and interesting! There’s a lot happening but it’s not hard to follow. Easy to imagine how everything looks and the characters are likeably imperfect to the point that you root for them. I immediately wanted to read the next book and didn’t mind that the story continues rather than being all wrapped up. It is steamy, but it fits into the story and was expected because I knew that Kara Lockhart knows how to write dragons!
Night nurse Andi Ngo was in need of a large amount of cash because of her idiot and unappreciative brother, so when she had an opportunity for a one-night assignment paying lots of money, she eagerly accepted. Her employer is the notorious billionaire Damian Blackwood, who is actually a dragon and gatekeeper guarding portals from bad things coming from other dimensions. She is taking care of one of his wounded men, alarmed at the nature of his injuries.
When things turn dangerous, Andi is exposed to the supernatural world and Damian’s secret as he needs to go into action to protect her. Instead of running away in terror, she is willing to stand her ground and allow the attraction she feels for him. They explore their strong attraction. But where will they go with this now?
This book has a good story line and great characters. I enjoyed the banter, and I loved Andi’s strength and ability to stand up for herself. Grab your copy and enjoy a well-written story.
Andi is a nurse who is in need of some quick cash. She never expected that answering a help wanted ad would open up a whole new world to her. This new world is full of danger and monsters, but also some seriously hot guys. The hottest of which is Damian. Damian is a volatile dragon shifter from another Realm that constantly fights to keep his control and most importantly his dragon in check as he leads his group of men against Otherworldly creatures that find their way into our world. Both Andi and Damian are complex characters full of conflicting emotions and used to being in charge. Their battle of wills leads to some interesting interactions not to mention the undeniable attraction between the pair. Full of non-stop action this story will have you glued to the pages to see what unfolds. The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger that left me anxiously awaiting the next book to see where this series goes.
This book had me hooked from the start and I loved each exciting page. The characters are well developed and the story line gave me all the highs and lows emotionally. The only issue is that I really need the next book to see what happens next…I really can’;t wait!

I liked the book. The story was good, although in the first few chapters, I was confused, but the more I read, the more I liked the story. The ending was good although it was a bit of a cliffhanger.

Dragon Called will have you on the edge of your seat from the first line and will keep you there with each turn of the page.
Damain is a mysterious Billionaire with secrets that needs a lesson in manners. Andi is an curious nurse, with a big heart that has gotten her in more trouble. When an offer comes around for one night for a nurse with a great pay, Andi jumps on it. But it becomes more than she could imagin.
Dragon Called is a great story from beginning to end. The characters are really well written. Andi is strong and determined. She does what she has to no matter what is going on around her. Damain is struggling with his Dragon as he fights the Unearthly. When their world meet so does their passion. The story line is so intense that you get lost in the story.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series to continue Damain and Andi’s journey.

I absolutely loved this book. I immediately fell into the story and was engaged. I cannot wait to see if there will be more set in this world with these characters. I would love to see more with these characters and even the side characters.

Damon and Andi fall for each other while the dragon wants her. They prove their love for other when drama happens
Terrific start to a series. This doesn’t end with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t end with a HEA either. The characters make you laugh and cry, this one gets you right in the feels. I absolutely loved it, looking forward to book 2.
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Dragon Called by Kara Lockharte and Cassie Alexander is a Prince of the Other Worlds Novel. I really enjoyed this read. This read is action packed, has a sexy dragon, werewolves, monsters, a stubborn nurse and wonderfully snarky cat guardian who is addicted to cheese. Here is a great example of why answering blind help wanted ads over the internet is a bad idea… or is it. Andi and Damian’s story is a yummy romp on the wild side. (Mature Readers Only) This read does set you up for book two, Dragon Destined, and I can’t wait to see what happens! I wonder if we get to meet Uncle Lee? A highly recommended read.
This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading a copy through Booksprout.
This is not all that different from other shifter romantic suspense books on the market, but what saves it from being just another run-of-the-mill story is the depth of the characters. The otherworldly dragon, the sibling werewolves (the serious older brother, the happy-go-lucky younger brother), the long-suffering sister to the less-than-legally-responsible brother – they sound like stock characters, but the author adds little details that make those characters (and their dilemmas) come to life as I read. I think I need to read the next to decide if I really like this series.

This story is awesome and I cannot wait until the continuation comes out. It begins with Andi, a nurse, answering an online ad for an overnight nursing assignment that pays a lot of money, which she needs because of her twin brother. This gorgeous guy picks her up at the drop off point and drives her up to this huge house. He then takes her in and shows her to her patient. All that is asked of her is to keep him alive for at least the next 12 hours. Easy peasy…yet who would have dreamed how much her life was about to change.
Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop because if you are like me you will have to know what happens next with the dragon, the werewolves, the other worldlies and the humans. There are some crazy creatures, some really cool technology and some steamy love scenes with some humor thrown in.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A really enjoyable read. She accepts a one night nursing job as she needs the money. But she gets more than she bargained for. Surprises, danger, suspense, emotions, relationship and much more. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Damien is a dragon but Andi didn’t know that when she got the job nursing for one night, she needed the money, so she wasn’t going to turn down a month’s wages for one night of work. Andi get pulled in to magic when things start to go on around the house she’s in!
I am reviewing my ARC of Dragon Called. I went into reading this with some doubt because I don’t usually read books with cliffhangers and no HEA (yet!) but I enjoy this author’s books and the story line peaked my interest (ICU nurse here!) so I gave it a go and I. DON’T. REGRET. A. THANG! Most “slow burns” are too slow for me but this one was juuussst right. It doesn’t sag or drag but left me pining for the next book.
Also, as a nurse, you have no idea how loudly I yelled “YAAAASSSS!” when I read “I’m clear, you’re clear, we’re all clear!” and “It’s a shockable rhythm.” That right there is real code lingo and I didn’t have to sit through anyone shocking asystole!!! This book deserves 5 stars just for that!
You will fall in love with Andi and Damien. They definitely fit together well. Their personalities just mesh. I’m also interested in the other characters as well as they seem to all have stories that I would love to delve into….and the cat/house guardian is so my favorite character. I NEED me a Grimalkin in my life STAT. Can’t wait for the next one:)
i really like the book the nurse and injured dragon cant wait for the next book
Hang onto your hat because this novel moves at 100 mph! I can guarantee you won’t be able to predict anything that happens!
Watch a rational nurse get introduced to the paranormal & take it all in stride. You just gotta love emergency ward nurses! NOTHING disturbs their calm. I can’t tell you anything that happens without ruining it so I’ll just say I loved it, loved it, loved it! This is a must read. Wish I could give it 10 stars…..
I was gifted an ARC, and I voluntarily reviewed it.
