OK, I've rewritten this review about a dozen times and can't seem to get it past the language filter, which aught to tell you a little about how ragey I was on finishing this book. Answer: very and my original, original review (the one I wrote before I started clipping it to try and get past the Amazon filter) was full of swear words. They were mostly aimed at telling someone (the universe or the plot or the author, someone) to take a curse laden leap off a high cliff for pretending this is a romance. (There isn't enough sex in it for me to say maybe it's erotica instead.) You can go to Goodreads if you really feel the need to read it. Just writing it made me feel better.

The hero is a complete jerk to the heroine from the moment they meet. They have exactly three interactions, none of them positive and the third being blatantly sexual, before they declare themselves in love. Not just in love, but loving having grown between them (in less than 48 hours). I never thought there was anything worse than insta-love but I was wrong. Love that's presented as having 'grown' between two people when it very obviously has been planted in such barren ash and hasn't, is in fact worse. And he never once apologizes for his behavior and she doesn't seem to expect it. It's abuse dressed up as romance and love. (See, here is where I would have dropped one of those curse words.)

Then there is the rest of the book, what little there is. Every obstacle is overcome with a deus ex machina solution. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Miranda makes allies of her enemies with nothing more than a hug and easy coincidental solutions present themselves left and right. Bah!

I did appreciate the lesbian (or bi) side character and the heroine's apparent bisexual leanings, even if it's obvious she's never going to pursue them. Having them there and legitimized was nice. I also appreciated that Miranda was given her own sexual agency and not made out to be a slut for having sex for pleasure. (Though this was compromised a little by her calling the consort a slut. Guess she can't give others the same courtesy she receives.)

The only thing I found interesting was the epilogue setting up book two. But I won't be reading it because I can just imagine all the ways the author could find to ruin it.

Dragon Blue A Lie That True The Dragonlords of Xandakar Book 1 edition by Macy Babineaux Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

Where to begin?
The book started out promising. However, it quickly went downhill.
The "heroine" had potential, but the readiness of shifting emotions and loyalties without any explanation and the brightness of events left my near tears.
She let everyone around her dictate her life after pretending to be someone she wasn't, the sister of the king becoming her friend then promptly turning on her in the cruelest of manners, falling in love with a guy who intentionally degraded her, then all of a sudden she become a dragon with no idea how it happened? Also, the person she was mistaken to be giving her the necklace that got her into this whole mess turning up and accusing her of stealing it with no explanation of how she herself came to that world?

These questions and the brightness of the story line were too much;I could not finish this.

Still, this story has potential. The author just needs to take the time to develope the story in a manner that flows and makes sense.
Potential wasted. This book had so much potential, the author did an excellent job with the writing and world building, and the editing is good. However that's where it ends the story just doesn't flow reasonably. Insta-love is something you encounter in books like this but usually it's explained by their animal side, planet or magic but this was crazy. Everything takes place in the span of 3-4 days max, the characters are just odd and nothing is explained. The messed up part is that I might read the rest of the books in the series because the author actually has potential, so the next book may show improvement.
Definitely a YA book. Fairly juvenile
The premise for this story held some substance, but lacked overall based on the author's writing style.
I have read many other paranormal stories that included dragons, which I would most likely suggest to other readers to pick up before this one.
I was extremely hopeful based on the number of initial stars this installment actually appeared to have been given by other readers, only to be disappointed.
The intensity was not there.
The supporting information was just....eh.
A waitress down on her luck at the age of 26, losing everything, and her desire to aspire for so much more.
The true American dream.
She is granted her wish by a lone customer at the beginning of her shift at the diner. A woman she was enthralled by left her an amazing tip while neglecting to pay for her meal ticket.
She opens a velvet pouch to find a necklace.
Then the fairytale begins.
She is transported to another world full of magic and unbelievable facts about what is really out there.
She attempts to lie to those who believe she is someone else, only to get caught, have her life threatened and prevail...turning into a dragon herself.
She finds love....of course.
The king, her betrothed, has his list of conquests he decides he would not give up even for her.
Then does.
Shocker.
It may have been me, although I highly doubt so, but it really read like so many other books that just need more.
This one moves on in the series and leaves you with a cliffhanger of an epilogue...one in which I have survived and do not feel overly compelled to read on to see how the rest of the story may unfold.
I am okay with not knowing who her real father is...even if she was born of dragonblood.
I am okay with not knowing how all of the kingdoms are unaware of how they are all under attack and by whom.
I am okay with this being the end.
