Camille’s smart, bookish, and very shy demeanor has left her in the dust where men are concerned. But she loves her job as a linguist specializing in lost, ancient languages. When she gets chosen for an expedition into the far reaches of the Sumatran jungle the likes of which no one has attempted before, she jumps at the opportunity. Along the way, she becomes enamored of the geologist, a beautiful man named Eben, but is too shy to approach him and he seems to keep his distance.

Something inside the dragon temple awakens a deeper part of her and soon she learns of the ritual to awaken a long-forgotten race of creatures the world hasn’t seen in thousands of years. Her research tells her she’s a key. A virgin sacrifice. But it doesn’t tell her what that means. The magic in the temple reveals only that the dragons must awaken for her to earn Eben’s attention.

She sheds her inhibitions in one dark, heated moment to make it happen. What follows is pleasure beyond her wildest and dirtiest dreams.

Note to readers: Tabula Rasa is an 11,000-word fantasy erotica short story. It is Book 2 in the Sleeping Dragons series and is intended for mature audiences.

The Sleeping Dragons series turns up the heat with a virgin sacrifice!
"...I want to bury my cock inside you so deep I touch your soul."
Don't worry, they didn't kill the virgin... She sacrificed her virginity in order to continue the ritualistic awakening of the Dragons. Book two picks up deep within the temple discovered by the team in Animus.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this book was even hotter than the first! I didn't think such a thing was possible, but there you go. There's no sophomore slump for this series, people. Just some unapologetic off-the-scales sexy-times filled with fun and adventure and motherfucking prehensile forked Dragon tongues!

Camille
She wasn't sure if she should be so thrilled by the idea, but to be desired by something so magnificent couldn't be a bad thing, could it? And that Roka wanted them both as a couple made her desire for Eben seem even more appropriate.
Camille is the sweet little virgin brought by the team to translate the ancient writing covering this mysterious temple. She's been lusting after Eben since they left on this expedition and the potent sexual energy vibrating within the temple has turned her crush into something impossible to ignore.

In the last book Erika and Eben began the ritual of awakening the dragons...
A ritual which involves incredibly hot sex.



Camille was translating the scripture when she discovered the details of the ritual for herself - including the very important virgin sacrifice. As it turns out, she is a key player in the ritual this group must undertake.

She begins looking for Erika and Eben to tell them the news, and she finds them servicing (and being serviced by) their respective dragons within one of the chambers behind the throne room.

Camille is a little jealous and a lot turned on by watching Eben in the throes of passion with his lavender-colored Dragon woman. What's a suddenly very horny voyeur virgin to do?

Inventory of Kink:
Some lovely menage action,
- FFM, MFM, & MMF,
Vivid fantasies,
Exhibitionism,
Masturbation,
Deflowering,
Voyeurism,
...and panty-melting dragon sex.


The only problem with this series is pacing myself. It would be so easy to sit down and read the entire Omnibus in one session... But the heat within the pages might cause my Kindle to melt, so I'm trying to keep it casual ;)

***I read this book as part of the Sleeping Dragons Omnibus which was provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review***

“Are you ready for my virgin pussy to wake you up?”


 
Six Ivy League-educated archaeologists make the find of a lifetime, an elusive dragon temple. Little do they know they were all destined to be there at this exact place, at this exact time. For 500 hundred years the dragons have been frozen in their temple, waiting for the right time when their human mates will wake them. Seducing them in by weaving their dragon magic until they are mindless with need. Six phases of the ritual, they are aroused and restless, they each must give up their nirvana to a sleeping dragon to wake them and begin each phase, the power of each union will help to fill the Queen’s well. Then, when the time comes, she will awaken and call the rest of the brood to the skies.
___________________________________

With all rituals, there always has to be a virgin, and this is her story, Camille is the linguist of the bunch, she is shy, viewed as innocent and pure, if only they knew her thoughts and desires can rival the horny bunch. She transcribed the ritual from the temple walls, now that Erica has started the phase, she must do her part. Select a dragon worthy of her virginess and give her nirvana to him. Even though she secretly dreamed it would be Eben that would take her virginity, seeing him in the throws of passion with the violet-haired dragon turned her on more than ever and there was only way to find relief. Roka, the white jade dragon, was a little to much for Camille, after passing out she comes too only to be confronted with not only Eben, but Roka as well. With the both of the in front of her, she can't help but want both, but can she handle what they have to give ??? When Issa, the purple dragon relinquishes her claim on Eben, he is free for the taking…
“You can call me Camille . After all, we did just… um… fuck. If we’re being super technical, I kind of raped you.”

Tabula Rosa is the second phase of the ritual, where the virgin sacrifices herself, it was another tasty addition to this HOT dragon tale. This is like porn but with an actual story line, there is plenty of delicious sex, BUT the author does take the time to give some history on her characters. Perfect when you want some M/F, M/M/F lovin!

This is the second in the Sleeping Dragon series. I had read and enjoyed the first part awhile ago, but wasn't prepared to hang around for each part as I'm quite anti series. Yet, here I am, back on the second one and totally enjoying this. The first part, Animus, sees archaeologists find a dragon temple and leader Erika, and Eben translate information that leads to awakening two dragons, sexually, of course, and erotic scenes ensued including inter species sex, (spoiler alert if read on) here we have Camille, another of the archaeologist group, and Virgin, who voluntarily sacrifices her virginity to another stone dragon as she observes Erika and Eben in their sexually erotic situations...again the eroticism is deliciously arousing. And the next story is that of twin dragons...Gemini, can't wait but will have to...till my next reading challenge fits this bill.

I loved the quote 'I want to bury my cock inside you so deep, I touch your soul!' Mmmmmm...and so this well written dragon story goes up in my estimation and this I give 4 stars.

Since I liked the first book in this series very much I was happy to be able to read the second part too.
And it is a great and hot one too.

I like the way a virgin is getting so horny she takes her own virginity on a statute, which turns into a dragon.
But what happens next makes her black out, but she has to let the dragon finish, otherwise he will be turned back to sleep again. She gets help from the man she admires and which has hot feelings for her too.

Looking forward to read part three of this series
You can read this book as a stand alone, but it is more fun to read the other book too

More Forked Tongue.....

I was wondering in the first book what would happen if you found the man to make your dreams come true, well now I ask what if you found him plus one????

Camille has always been in love with Eben and when she is finally takes steps to give him her virginity, she finds that he is once again pleasuring another, so she figures this erotic scene of the man of her dreams can only lead her to awaken another. She soon finds that she not only has the love of Eban, but also the perfect dragonman at her complete disposal, what could be better? Certainly not her wet dreams.

This is another wonderful, but rated X for content story. I am going to read this whole Sleeping Dragons Series.

The story had its hot parts, well, I guess pretty much all of the story was about somebody going at it. But like the first one, there were just some things that were so silly that I had to laugh. It's obvious that this series is going more for the heat than an actual story because the dialog is so cheesy and nothing actually really happens except sex. Which is all well and good, but I guess I like to have at least a little actual story.

It's Camille's turn this time around to wake up a dragon. She chooses a guardian, which I wonder if that's important or not. It's supposed to be real important that she's still a virgin, but I'm not sure why as it doesn't seem that anything different happened. She kind of messes up the whole thing though when she passes out on her dragon before the ritual can be completed. But somehow that's what gets her to find out that Eben has loved her since he first saw her. Uh huh. Riiiiiight. And because of this beautiful relationship between the two of them (can you detect the sarcasm here?), Eben's dragon lady gives him to Camille's guardian. And the guy feels super blessed to get the pair. And it ends with another door being open and the next phase beginning.

I don't see me reading any more of this series unless I can also get them for free like I got these first two. While I have found these first two to be entertaining and to have an interesting back story, there are other full books I would rather spend my money on.

~~ARC gifted by the author for a honest review~~

Most times the first book is liked more, than the second. Where I liked and enjoyed the first book Animus, this second just rocked for me. I love dragons and loved the story line.

For Camille it seems everyone is getting there freak-on but her. She finds herself in a quandry when she seed Eben during the day time. Camille tries to get up enough courage to speak to him, but all comes out is a muttered squeak. Her night though are filled with dreams of the sexy hot Eben, doing wonderous things to her inexperienced body.

in her dream it changed a little and she had heard a strange voice. Telling her what she must do.

A short quick read, if you love dragons and menage you will love this. Some detail for me just enough maybe more as far as filling out the characters personality? Its hard to do that in a short read. But read the first one it will give you a better sense of their story and personalities.

DRAGON sEx.... damn, damn and hot. have fun and enjoy

Sex, sex and more sex.

The main ingredient in this book is sex, sex held together by a brief story about a dragon temple and dragon statues which need sex to awaken. That's it really, not much else to say except that Camille is a virgin and she gives her virginity to a dragon statue, oh and the guy, this is a real guy as in flesh and blood, anyway the guy she likes confides that while he's been having sex with someone else he was actually picturing Camille's face, and Camille seems pleased by this!!!
This book's free and if you like loads of sex and aren't particularly bothered about much story then this could well be the book for you but I like sex to complement the story not replace it so it wasn't great for me.

Band 2 hatte mich gleich wieder im Bann, ich war sofort in der Handlung wieder drinnen und habe mich daher auch super zurecht gefunden. Ich fand es bist schade, dass das Mythische in diesen Teil kürzer gekommen ist, wie im ersten Band.

Allerdings waren die heißen, leidenschaftlichen Szenen genial geschrieben. Generell waren die Konversationen wirklich toll geschrieben und haben einfach toll gepasst. Ich fand die heißen Szenen genau richtig und nicht übertrieben oder ähnliches. War genau so wie ich es aus dem ersten Teil kennengelernt habe.

Die Entwicklung der Handlung hat mir gut gefallen, sowie die Auflösung gewisser Punkte die aus dem ersten Teil mitgekommen sind. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf den dritten Teil und bin gespannt was mich da erwarten wird.

What did I just do....... :( ....... I should have dropped this series when I had a chance...... I don't do bisexual sex or anything close to gay. I'm not going any further with this series cuz I know it's going to get worse..... man lots of great sex though ( huge porno book). Great read for bisexuals. Sorry for the low rating, I just can't....

Swing and a miss.

I found this series very boring. It was nothing but sex. I finished the second book and refuse to read the next one.

All I can say in a one word description is "OUCH"

Better than the first

The second book was better than the first with more of a focus on one character. A very nice (naughty) read.

Sizzling!

Now in this 2nd installment we get a wicked dragon. This guardian dragon gets a couple for his own. I liked this wicked dragon because he was a total surprise, I mean he gets awoken by Camille’s self pleasures but when she passes out the ritual isn’t complete and our poor dragon is left sad and unfulfilled.

But with a little encouragement from the one man she’s always fantasize about “Eben”, our wicked dragon gets the couples nirvana using all his special talents - commanding kiss, long tongue, white Smokey breath, talons to fingers, long shaft, and his magical tail. The Author did great job with the sex scene - FF, MM, MF, MFM, voyeurism, and masturbation.

Now for some more dragons and to finish the ritual - book 3 here I come - LOL I think my kindle melted.

Oh virgin Camille…what did you get yourself into? This installment in this series was much better than the 1st installment. This is #2 of 6. The dragon sex magic is strong even in Camille’s dreams. She wants Eben who has a casual thing with Erica. While watching them with their dragon counterparts gets her revived up. She’s gotta sacrifice her virginity to a dragon statue to wake him up. Then she passes out and then when she wakes up we find she passed out before the dragon could finish to complete the ritual. The dragon takes her to Eben who gets jealous and has a standoff with the dragon until she wakes up and has a few moments. We find out she is a naughty virgin and we get a ménage. 🔥🔥🔥🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is another steamy story that brings us to another level. There are more dragons to wake up and this one needs a virgin sacrifice.

I guess the main point of all these books is you have to remember they are fantasy. So seeing the love of your life have sex with someone else may not be something you can handle, but when you have lived for hundreds of years, that seems to be the dragons take on it. And for Camille and Eben (human and dragon) that seems to be okay for them. In this day and age, it seems to be okay for a lot of people. --> off soapbox now.

Another enjoyable story with lots and lots of sex!

Who knew being a virgin was such an important job!

After Erica had awoken her fated mate. Cami then had the important task of waking up the guardians but she out of all the team could choose any of the guarding Dragons as long as she did so willingly.

The problem was that Cami was hook line and sinker for the one guy who had been spending every waking minute with Erica! Cami honestly just wanted him there with her even if he couldn't be her 1st.

But what happens once Cami finally chooses her Guardian is more than any of them possibly imagined.

If you are looking for a read that is more spice than anything else, this is the omnibus for you. It follows a group of explorers searching for the lost temple of the dragons. Each book follows the story of each explorer and the dragon they encounter. The omnibus is a fun, short read but don’t expect too much of a build up or deep dive into each character. Although I enjoyed the books, the ending was a bit flat and felt it just ended.

Hot & Erotic

Camille, the virgin, has the honor of awakening the next dragon. Once she starts her climax it is so forceful that she passes out unable to complete the ritual. The dragon, Roka, with the aide of Eben, and love Camille, complete the awakening. A short well written sensual pleasure.

Good follow-up!

This is a continuation of the story from book 1. It picks up seamlessly with no jarring sense. The virgin is the focus as her part of the overall ritual comes in.

interesting series

Mostly sex with a bit of character exploration. They don’t exactly grow, but you find out a bit about them. If you’re looking for 85% sex in your books, this is probably a decent fit.

Delightfully hot..

And very well written. I will be reading this again as I suspect I missed some details. Camille was delightfully open to experimenting and I really liked Roka. You could feel his honor when he first became aware and carried Camille into the chamber.

These books are super short and I feel like they should have just been released as one book. It's like you're reading a couple chapters of a larger work, which is a pain in the rear. Also, it is about 99% smut, which I am completely here for.
