Heart of the Dragon (or, well, something else of the dragon...*wink*)

Okey-dokey. I thought I knew a little bit about paranormal romances, but whoa, this takes it to a whole new level.

Gena Showalter has loads of her paperbacks in Target, and I picked this one up, mostly because the cover featured this guy sort of clawing the air, and his picture was overlaid with that printing shellac that shows up when light is reflected on it. And the blurb on the back had keywords like,

"Dragon: Atlantis: Shapechanger: Vampires: and Portals"....okay, I've loved the concept of Atlantis since I was little girl. Loved dragons, too. So, I skimmed. Interesting premise, didn't seem to overloaded with politics and worldbuilding (though I wouldn't know, since it was only a skim) and my first reaction was, holy cow, there really IS an outlandish paranormal romance for everyone. How unlikely is THIS combination of location and mythical beings? Eh?

No, I didn't buy it, since I've spent too much $$ on other books lately (not to mention Xmas presents) so...it'll have to wait. We'll see.

Right now I'm reading Wuthering Heights, and whoa. Talk about complex on every level.

The Cornstalk by Heather Garside.

I didn't get to read that one at the time, as it was during my last bought of not having a co-worker then training a new one, and our meetings are the same night of the week the library stays open.

I've got it in the library collection though (the library buys books for the club at a discount, the club donates a copy back), so I'll get to it eventually.
