Falling for him would be pure folly. I know that.
Now all I have to do is convince my heart…
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Allowing a strange dragon into my home was not my idea.
The Assembly assured me it was necessary, though. And that’s how I ended up with him.
Ollie Shaw is clumsy. Unfairly hot. He stumbles through my life leaving a trail of chaos and sunny charm in his wake.
And I hoard every moment with him like he’s my greatest treasure.
But with an entire dragon territory to rule, bills to pay, and treachery brewing in my family, I can’t afford to be distracted by Ollie’s copper-gilded beauty and boundless enthusiasm.
I especially can’t give in to my dragon’s primal urge to claim him.
Because loving him could cost me everything I’ve fought so hard to protect. And that would eventually come back to bite us both—with dragon’s teeth…

“How much longer do you think they’ll—oh my God.” I interrupted myself. “Who is that?”
Mia stood on tiptoe and followed my awestruck gaze. “Who?” she asked. “The redheaded guy with the beard?”
I revised my impression of her intelligence. “The tall one with the shoulders. Black shirt and black jeans.” Along with dark hair, and did I mention shoulders? He was moving decisively through the throng, bootheels striking the floor in a way that might indicate temper or might simply be supreme self-confidence. He knew other dragons would move out of his way.
Lean-cheeked and dark-browed, his face was set in stern lines that made my knees weak. This was a dragon who knew what he wanted and took it. I hoped that would include me.
He was heading in our direction, closing on us fast. I’d opened my mouth and started to say God knew what but something to make him notice me, when Mia spoke over the top of my incoherent babble.
“Archer,” she said. “This is Ollie Shaw.”
Oh great, her brother had arrived. What bloody awful timing. Wait a minute—the only person next to us was Mr Sex God himself. He smiled slightly at her, before glancing at me. I’d thought the first Mortimer grandson I’d seen would level Troy. This guy would have the Martians invading to fight over his square jaw and piercing grey eyes.
“Hi,” I said, and hoped my voice hadn’t come out sounding as squeaky as I feared.
He nodded at me, not unfriendly but not friendly. And that was the final nail in my coffin because dark, powerful and emotionally unavailable? It was as if he’d read my teenage diary and was role-playing every one of my fantasies. Almost every one—he hadn’t yet shoved me up against the wall and fucked me. I flicked my tongue over suddenly dry lips and wondered if he could see how ready I was to do anything he told me.
“Good to meet you,” I said belatedly, ducking my head in an attempt at a respectful salute to the head of a family. It didn’t work too well because I couldn’t tear my eyes from his face. From the dark eyebrows that were drawing together as I continued staring at him. “I’m from Tunbridge Wells.” I scarcely knew what I was saying, just that I didn’t want him to leave. “Mia’s been keeping me company.”
His eyes narrowed on me, and how the hell did that make him even sexier? “Has she?” His voice was deep, with a dangerous note that thrilled right to my cock.
“Yes.” That was definitely a squeak, damn it. “She’s very nice.” Oh my God, would someone take me outside and shoot me?
His expression remained stern. “I’m aware of that.” He glanced at her, seeming to forget my existence. “Let’s go, Mia.”
She gave me a grin that let me know she was fully aware of her brother’s effect on me. “Catch you later, Ollie,” she said, and they left.
Dragon’s Folly by Joy Lynn Fielding
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ollie becomes part of an experiment to open up insular dragon families. When he is placed with the grumpy, perpetually cloudy Archer, he sees it as an opportunity to possibly get lucky because Archer is definitely yummy. Archer on the other hand doesn’t appreciate the accident prone, sunny, brash dragon that is thrust into his world.
Ollie’s feelings of not being quite good enough have led him to come across as a buoyant airhead. His radiant personality hides a sharp mind with a knack for reading people. Archer, forced into becoming the head of his family at a young age has hardened him. He wants nothing more than to work his forge, take care of his brother and sister, and let his dragon loose to observe and protect what is his, and its soon evident that Ollie is just what he needs to complete his life. Ollie is his living treasure.
Ollie and Archer are delightful together. Ollie’s sharpness combined with Archer’s compassion was an irresistible combination. I thought the author slotted them together nicely. Their evening flights were very visual for me. I can see them wheeling through the clouds and plummeting to earth together. It seems very joyous (something I’ve enjoyed in the whole series).
This book stands on it own, however, to get a feel for this particular dragon culture it would be beneficial to the reader to read the series in order.
