Product Description:
Lisa Singleton has an unusual roommate-a fifty-foot dragon named Caleb who has glittering scales and a bad attitude. Little does she know that Caleb is actually a powerful warrior sent to protect her from those out to steal her magic and destroy the world. Or that Caleb can take the human form of a sexy hunk. Now, if he doesn't stop distracting her with those gorgeous bedroom eyes, they may not have time to stop their enemies before all of existence is wiped out. At least Lisa and Caleb will have savored every last minute.

Lisa Singleton recently lost her beloved grandmother and inherited her home in San Francisco. Little did Lisa know the apartment came with a special roommate... a 50 foot golden dragon named Caleb. Caleb was sent to protect her because Lisa has a magical heritage she is just about to discover. A grey dragon and a wicked witch want to destroy Lisa and steal her magic, each for different reasons.
Now Caleb has crossed over from Dragonspace into this world in the body of the most incredibly gorgeous man Lisa has ever seen in order to better protect her. What is this special gift Lisa possesses that so many desire? And how can she be falling in love with a... dragon?
Dragon Heat was my very first foray into the writing of Allyson James and what a delightful journey it was! In a genre that gets swamped with every new trend as they get popular, we have a highly imaginative and refreshingly original dragon story in Dragon Heat. The intrigue is woven through every facet of the story as we try to figure out what exactly the dragon orb is and why so many are after it.
One of the best things about Dragon Heat is the contrast between dark and light, good and bad. While many aspects of the story are quite dark, Allyson James keeps it from being overwhelming by adding plenty of humour to lighten things up. After all, who wouldn't laugh about a giant warrior dragon who's addicted to television and keeps stealing the remote control?
The romance between Caleb and Lisa is a gradual progression from friends to lovers. After Caleb takes his human form, he is introduced to a whole new variety of emotions he had never experienced before. As Lisa helps him to adapt to his new life as a human, they grow closer until their love is as much a part of them as breathing is.
I loved my travels to Dragonspace and San Francisco with Caleb, Lisa, and company in Dragon Heat and look forward to coming back for more visits.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lisa is portrayed as a very witty and sweet person. Caleb is very endearing and a mixture of brawn and brains. I am so glad to read a book that puts a different spin on dragons and shows a difference amongst them too. Their are different sects of dragons that think differently and have different trades (work wise). I look forward to reading many more books in this series.

Lisa Singleton inherited her late Grandmother's apartment along with everything in it - including the full-size dragon her Grandmother never warned her was living in the guest room! Caleb has been set as Lisa's protector by the witches who control him, a task he doesn't mind at all- especially when she talks to him and lets him have the remote for the TV.
OK, so it is a little unusual for a Golden Dragon, known as a powerful warrior, to enjoy life as a couch potato. But it is even more unusual to have a dragon living in your spare bedroom. Then again, things get even stranger when that dragon suddenly turns into a human hunk and settles himself comfortably and naked on the living room sofa!
When the infamous Black Dragon and an evil witch both target the innocent Lisa, Caleb will do anything to save the beautiful human woman he has come to love more than life itself.
Why, oh WHY did it take me so long to read this wonderful book that I have had languishing away on my book case for so long??? I bought Dragon Heat, the very first story in Allyson James' Dragon Series, months ago. Unfortunately, I had not yet found time to move it up my too-large (no complaints, though) to-be-read pile. But it was certainly very near the top, since I have a particular penchant for any story that has dragons in it, whether they are the shape shifting variety or not.
Lucky for me, the sequel to this story came to CK2S Kwips and Kritiques for review, giving me the perfect excuse to move Dragon Heat to the top of that TBR pile! All I can say is, this series is now on my pre-order list! OK, that's not really all I can say about it; I'm way too long-winded for that.
One of the things I love best about this book is that, while it is not a comedy, Ms. James' infuses it with a good dose of natural humour throughout the story. As a person who finds humour in most real-life situations, I really appreciate that quality in the books I read. I mean, come on, the situation lends itself easily to laughter. A remote control wielding dragon living in a woman's guest-room? Plus, the juxtaposition of the comedy alongside the darker nature of the story as the villains endeavor to destroy Lisa and Caleb keeps the story very entertaining.
The author delivers several twists to the plot, at least one of which I never suspected, but totally enjoyed when it happened. Having been bred on mystery novels growing up, I am pretty adept at figuring out the surprises in a story, so I always appreciate when an author manages to pull something over on me in a manner which is logical.
I really can't praise this story enough. For those of us who relish a romance with a great dose of fantasy, paranormal and suspense, Dragon Heat is a story not to be missed!

Rated by buyers -
Dragon Heat fast paced, funny romance where you quickly begin to identify with the characters and they are CHARACTERS - each with their own quirks that give them their own vitality. Sometimes it is the secondary characters who steal the show. Keep a eye out for Ming Ue as she often steals the show.

Have read the very first 1/2 of the book, found it boring. Will finish it sometime. Don't hold too much hope for it.
