I LIKE BIG DRAGONS AND I CANNOT LIE
Series: The Dragon Series #1
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: August 17, 2016
Keifer Vassago, The Prince of Dragons, has enough on his plate without adding a brunette with a bad attitude to the mix.
Fate has a way of screwing all his plans, though, whether he wants them screwed or not. One second he’s fetching his brother from yet another situation that could possibly compromise the Vassago name, and the next that brunette is grabbing his assets.
Blythe isn’t after anyone’s assets, though. She’s a good girl. All she wants is to graduate from nursing school, get a job, and move out of her hell hole apartment. What she does not have time to deal with is a sexy bearded man that accuses her of grabbing his junk.
She tries to forget about the encounter, but fate’s a cruel bitch.
One second she’s a normal college student barely living paycheck to paycheck, and the next she’s setting her panties on fire with powers from an ancient immortal dragon.
To add insult to injury, she’s hearing voices, and none of them are figments of her imagination. Blythe’s life is turned upside down, and Keifer forces her to adapt even though she doesn’t want to. She likes her life just the way it is.
Not to mention she wants nothing to do with that arrogant asshole. She doesn’t care that he rides a dragon. She also could care less about his stupid beard, and his sexy eyes.
Yeah, who was she kidding? She wasn’t convincing anybody.

“Holy freaking crap!!! This book is absolutely nothing like I expected and everything I could ever want in a paranormal. This is Lani Lynn Vale’s first foray into paranormal and let me tell you she knocked it out of the park.” – Devious Book Blog
I woke up to my lower half on fire.
At first, I thought it was just an aftereffect of my dreams, but when I finally peeled my eyes open, I could smell smoke.
When I opened my lids and looked down, it was to literally find my panties on fire.
I screamed and rolled; rolling so far in the bed that I hit the floor and kept going.
By the time the fire was finally out, my panties were burned to ash. However, my skin was perfectly fine. In fact, the hairs that I’d planned on having waxed later in the week were gone.
It’d given me a fire waxing…minus the wax.
“What the fuck?” I yelled, staring down at my now hair-free mound.
Blasphemy.
My eyes widened and I looked around. Was someone in the room with me?
I started reaching for the lamp but couldn’t find it. There was a pile of things beside the bed that I’d knocked over in my haste to get up. I could only assume that the lamp was one of those things.
“Light, light, light,” I chanted, shifting through the things on the floor.
My candles that I had interspersed around the room all lit at once, and I screamed.
“What the hell is going on?” I shrieked.
Macy started hammering on the wall, or her boyfriend. Whatever. Fuck her.
I narrowed my eyes at the wall.
That stupid heifer! I’m allowed to scream if I want to. She fucks day and night, and she’s going to bang on my wall to get me to quiet down?
Master Farrow has always had excellent stamina with the ladies.
I froze, turning around and scanning the room.
“Who’s there?” I asked nervously.
A deep, rumbly laugh filled my head and my eyes widened.
“Holy mother of God, get out of my head!” I yelled.
The voice in my head continued to chuckle. Oh, this is almost as good as when Prince Keifer came into his powers. He didn’t shriek like you do, though.
In I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie, we are transported to a brand new paranormal world where magic and dragons exist, and are ruled and organized by their dragon riders…
Amongst them, or better yet, on the top of the commanding chain is Keifer Vassago, the Prince of Dragons. Keifer already has an immeasurable amount of responsibility, but when his youngest brother again ‘falls off the tracks’, he’s the only one who can impose himself and force him to fulfill his obligation. He knew it was no easy task, but could not foresee that it would become that much interesting, when this journey made him literally, run into his mate.
Blythe is a nursing student, part time diner worker, that lives her own life, and doesn’t interfere in other peoples businesses, but when she runs into a tall, dark, hunk of man pushing a young man from the next door apartment, she had no idea that that single moment would change her life forever, and open her reality to a brand new world. With a delicious dragon rider Prince. In this case there was no way to say no to that, because they were forever bonded…
“Coming here. I couldn’t stop myself though. It’s like I can sense your need. Your body calls to me like a fucking fire I can’t put out,” he groaned, glancing up at the numbers, watching them as they went at a turtle’s pace.
I chose not to say anything, knowing he knew I felt the same way. It was as if he were under my skin, permanently there for eternity.
He knew my wants, needs, and desires.
Their chemistry and fate is obvious and undeniable, but now Blythe will need to change and adapt her mindset for her new role and this society, and first of all she needs to me shown and taught all the fantastic ways of this magical world. This was a fantastic way for us, as a reader, to be introduced into this world, through Blythe’s eyes. It was done beautiful and fluidly.
After only a brief moment of hesitation, Kiefer and Blythe could not deny what her bodies and spirit were telling that. Their attraction was instantaneous, and they couldn’t deny they were meant to be together.
Of course, the primal reaction of their bodies stands out, not only in the regards of magic – with their interexchange of powers- but also sexually. You truly feel like they are drawn together, like industrial sized magnets, and that they will only be satisfied when they fully complete their mating. This explosive magnetism gave of course, some scorchingly hot and fiery – appropriate, given the dragon theme, lol – sex scenes. You could almost feel their most deep and primal desire to be joined that way, in the most delicious fashion. And then the serious and somewhat broody Prince of Dragons transformed in one deviously, impossible to resist, panty melting – or better yet, pantie incinerator- filthy talker.
“Don’t you dare come without me. The next time you come will be with me inside you, buried so deep you’ll feel me in your throat,” Keifer growled over the powerful engine.
Take it, Drakina. Let me feel that sweet cunt of yours pulse around my cock until you and I are the only things that matter in this world.
Blythe sure was one lucky woman. A brand new and exciting and a HOT sexy man, all in one day. What else could she wish for?! She was an amazing character on her own, sassy and strong, with a seriously independent nature, that gave Kiefer quite a few headhaches, LOL. And Kiefer, was absolutely amazing, OTT alpha, all the way, but with a secret sweetness and loving nature, specially reserved to Blythe (sure he has some asshat moments when the position demands were too high, but what man doesn’t?!), he more than proved his love and devotion to her. It was wonderful seeing their love and feelings blossom and that a special nature of itself. I LOVED this couple, and it’s going to be a tough one to beat. They were superb!
Of course this delicious package didn’t come alone, and with his two brothers and all the other dragon riders, they were more than a hierarchy, they were a true family on its own, a brotherhood.
That was how you made a successful brotherhood. You made sure that the people that would always have your back had a reason to have it. That they knew the person that they’d give their lives for was worthy.
I will not reveal any more of the storyline or characters, because it would steal from your enjoyment of this MUST READ. All this fantastic characters need to be savored while reading the story, but I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. It’s a definitely MUST READ, that it will really transport you to a brand new world…
WOW!!! What an absolutely fucking stellar PNR debut!!! ‘I Like Dragons and I Cannot Lie’ is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best PNR I have EVER read!!!
Just when I thought I could love Lani Lynn Vale’s writing anymore than I already did, she throws us this outstanding curveball, and managed to leave me completely astonished, because seriously this story couldn’t be any better!!! Beware Lani, because if I fan girled before now it only got much worse, you won’t be able to get me off your back, just don’t call the cops on me! Or better yet, please do because if they’re half as delicious as this dragon riders, damn….
I can’t wait to dig into more of this astonishing world!!!! And Keifer… OMG, No words!!! Sigh…
Gone was my breath.
I didn’t care about that, either.
I knew Keifer wouldn’t let me die by orgasm. He’d revive me later once he was done.
Gone was my pride. I’d do anything for him. Anything. Crawl. Beg. Steal. Die.
If he wanted me to, I’d do it.
But the thing about Keifer was, I knew that he wouldn’t make me.
Looking up into his eyes as he looked down into my own, something passed between us.
It was as if I saw his soul, and he saw mine. Pieces of our separate lives melded into one whole life.
And I realized what it was to be a dragon rider’s mate.
To be utterly and completely his.
Because that was what I was now, his.
And that was what he was, too. Mine.
