Dragon Lord

Interstellar Visitors

by Kaitlyn O'Connor

Raina had never been employed as a 'domestic', but she was gung ho to try anything once, however unnerving and 'strange' she found the occupants of the remote island estate. Foreigners, she thought, with strange eyes, unfamiliar ways, and an even more alien language …. Very alien.

Near future—urban fantasy--alien abduction

Author Kaitlyn O’Connor was first published by Harlequin Enterprises in 1994 under the pen name of Madris Dupree after nearly a decade of struggling to learn the business, the marketing, and the writing skills necessary for a career in commercial fiction. That ‘first’ published book, a historical, (which was actually her fourth attempt at a marketable piece of fiction) was successful, however, selling nearly 90,000 copies in the U.S., Switzerland, France, and the U.K.
She writes various genres (or sub-genres since she always writes romance!) under different pen names. She has written science fiction/futuristic/fantasy under several pen names—Kaitlyn O’Connor, for her Scottish grandmother, Lyssa Hart (lighter side of futuristic), Angelique Anjou (leaning toward fantasy) and BDSM Futuristic under the pen name Stacey St. James.

Reviews

Does Kaitlyn O'Connor write a bad book? I am really beginning to doubt that she has. This book had a different feel for me than the previous ones I had read of hers. If I had to describe it I would say it was more romantic and definately more emotional than some of her other books. This book had me laughing one moment and tearing up the next...that is a well written storyline in my opinion.

Raina has had to work hard to survive. Being on her own since she was 16, she has worked the odd jobs to provide meagerly for herself. When she is offered a job as a housekeeper at an estate close to the sea, she jumps at the chance to have a new adventure. She quickly discovers that the Owner of the estate is not what he seems.

Simon Draken is grieving. He is a prince from another world, that is recovering from the loss of his wife and child that were tortured in front of him years before. He is buying his time to go back to his planet and reclaim it from the tryannt that has stolen everything that was precious to him.

When Simon and Raina meet, there is an instant attraction. They try to fight the feelings they have for one another, but soon realize it is useless to do so. Raina helps Simon start living again, instead of existing in the past and Simon helps Raina believe in herself.

I loved this book! All of the secondary characters were memorable and the dialog and banter that was shared between them was so funny at times. Simon's half brother Audric was sooo sexy...it definately would have been a hard choice between the two men!

The thing I like about Kaitlyn's books are how well developed the characters are, and how well thought out the storyline always seems to be. This book was borrowed (thanks Julie) so I have immediately ordered my own copy, so it will be on my keeper shelf...along with the other Kaitlyn O'Connor books.

If you are offended by strong language and explict sex, this book is not for you:)

[Megan Fall · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is definitely one of her better books! It was fast paced and pretty funny. I loved the characters and am extremely happy with the way the book ended!

[Julie (jjmachshev) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this futuristic erotic tale. If you are offended by explicit sexual situations and multiple sex partners, then avoid this book. Another keeper for me!!

Raina knew there was something strange about her new employers. They were all over 6 1/2 feet tall, built, and incredibly hot! There was also something strange about their eyes...

Simon Draken is a king living in exile from his home planet. He's biding his time and recovering from a devastating defeat and personal loss. When he catches sight of the new 'help', there's an instant attraction that quickly becomes undeniable.

But royals in exile are never safe. There's treachery afoot and Simon may not be able to protect himself, much less Raina.

I'm 50% done with Dragon Lord: I really tried... DNF at 50%. Stilted dialogue... repetition ad nauseam of the self-deluding insecurity of the heroine and denial of his feelings by the hero.

If you want to read some enjoyable, racy, sci-fi romance by Kaitlyn O'Connor, try her series, Cyberevolution, beginning with The Awakening.

[Wyrdness · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars.

This isn't necessarily a bad book so I award it an extra half star, but it definitely wasn't for me. It was far too heavy on the "s/he doesn't love me!" miscommunication thing and, like always, that was because at no point did the characters ever bother to talk about their real feelings. I just don't have any sympathy for stupid characters wallowing in their self-made angst for hundreds of pages when a paragraph of dialogue would sort it out.

There was some sort of space plot inbetween all the sex and romance angst, but it was so sparse that I kind of forget what most of it was. I do remember that plot changes and betrayals emerge out of thin air at different points though with no indication or build-up.

So, err, yeah. If you like sci-fi erotica involving (nominally) alien beings then maybe this will be for you, but I definitely need a more solid plot and less whiny characters to make me happy.

[ValerieC · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will read this one again...

This was one of the better Kaitlyn O'Connor stories I've read. It has a much better ending than most of them.

Raina is hired as a housecleaner for the mysterious Simon Draken and his bodyguards, who live on an island in a mansion. Naturally, romance blooms between Raina and the troubled widower Simon.

Raina is also befriended by Audric, Simon's half-brother, who has fallen for her in a big way, but knows that she will never love him as much as Simon.

What Raina doesn't know 'exactly', is that the whole group are aliens, called Draconians, who used to have the ability to shift into dragons.

Lots of adventure, a weird head housekeeper, spilled soup, jealousy, alpha males punching on each other and messing up the house, kidnapping to another world, imprisonment, war, angst over love lost, and of course... PREGNANCY! I admit I almost boo-hooed reading this one, but I wasn't alone in the room and didn't want to look too girlie.

What I didn't like was the trashy language of the heroine (an unfortunate standard on O'Connor books). Some of this is just modern-speak, but again, O'Connor has taken this to excess. A little goes a long way... crude, trash-mouth heroins aren't a turn-on, especially when they are worse than the males in the book!

There was also a glaring mistake when Raina thinks about her siblings early in the book and wonders what happened to them after they were put into foster homes. Later, she tells Simon her brother is in prison, and her sister is a drug addict. Had me wondering, WTH!!!

A better editor than spell-check is needed for these books... would be well worth the cost and might result in more sales, but I will keep buying most of her books anyway.

[Pamela(AllHoney) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great plot and keep me interested. Not too keen on certain aspects of the story but enjoyed it just the same.

[Caz · Rating 1 out of 5]

Too much back-and-forth-do-I-love-her angst and internal monologuing, not enough action or romance. I could not STAND the "heroine", whose quick temper and bitchy attitude were at odds with her lack of self-esteem and lowly origins. She was melodramatic, whiny, foul-mouthed and, given that she was a servant, unprofessional and inappropriate ... dropping a tray of soup and then laughing when someone slipped and fell in the mess, or continually picking fights with her supervisor. That a prince would find her appealing in any way was incomprehensible, and she made this a DNF for me.

[Hollie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got whiplash reading this story. He likes her, he spurns her, he likes her, he spurns her. I was a little disappointed in the references to her 'not being pretty' said by herself and the dragon contingent. I also didn't like Raina that much.

[Spuffed · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm a little bit all over the place with this book. I liked it enough to stick with it. Found some very wonderful parts that I enjoyed; found the beginning a bit slow and I was kinda clueless as to what was going on; found the middle to be most pleasant but not very sensical; and the ending to be pleasant but a little uncomfortable.

Quick Rundown: Chick needing a job, applies for a maid position on a privately owned island and finds herself among the mysterious owner surrounded by serious looking bodyguards- all huge and of course, aliens though she doesn't realize this at first and only admits to the realization much later but it turns out she knew all along and just never mentioned it to the reader. Anyhoo, insta-lust happens. The aliens turn out to be exiled royalty and have to leave to resume control of their homeland from the tyrannical brother that overtook the throne and is torturing the people. This leaves the girl where? Read to find out.

Characterization: Good and sometimes weirdly bad. I'll start with Chick. I recall her being a little better off situation wise than she was portrayed as it went further along. Yeah, she was poor and trying to get back into school- hence the job but she had at times a sense of maturity then many instances of petulant fits/temper tantrums. She seemed to be overly mentally stable considering her background. And as to her background, she starts out with one impression only to reveal later on that she's had it much rougher than originally mentioned. And the reveals didn't seem to make sense though I understood why she kept them to herself but felt like they should have been known to the reader. There was some type of disconnect there for me. I did enjoy her okay but her temper tantrums with the housekeeper were bizarre reactions. I also had a little trouble buying her transition between men back and forth- not in a sexual way but in an emotional way- it wasn't smooth for me and maybe that was because of the other disconnects i had with this character. Lord Dude came off as a more solidly thought out character and a LOT of time is spent explaining his feelings and current predicament- almost to the point of boredom in the beginning which is why I ended up shelving this book for a couple months at 17% through. He also had some moments of hatefulness that were supposed to be a result of his tragedy but I wasn't buying it. Brother Dude started off strong as a character then kinda turned into a pushover/pansy. I still enjoyed the characters for the most part but I did notice the variations. Secondary characters were confusing. The other Dracon dudes all blended together so I couldn't tell them apart and they didn't really have any personality. The housekeeper was also weird but she ended up completely fading away in the story so that was good.

Plot: This was enjoyable once it started to develop. However, there were moments when I didn't quite understand what was going on when I felt like I was supposed to. The guys are discussing their plans but I never really understood any particulars given and some particulars were missing. The spent pages talking about something but it seemed like if they used a more direct way of speech (which would be characteristic of them) then they could have summed it up more clearly- the dialogue was often convoluted for me. The technology aspect to this sic-fi-ish book was completely missing. I mean, they had this huge spaceship at a moments call but somehow Earth never noticed it? That was never explained away. The culture of these aliens was also medieval but then they had this technology that they had traded from another planet but this technology didn't advance their race in any way except for interplanetary travel and a few weapons. I don't need a lot of techno-babble but I do need some type of understanding between a somewhat backwards culture to one that uses select technology. The big battle was excellently done as was most of the ending. What bothered me by the ending was the relationship connections that kinda sprung out of nowhere considering the level of possessiveness and lack of communication that was prevalent in most of the book. Sex scenes were hot. There are multiple partners but this is not a menage situation.

Writing Style: Thankfully, this book was missing some of the annoying writing faults that I have found in other O'Connor novels. My only issue besides the contrariness was the lengthy dialogues that really said nothing at all or took too long to get to the point. But that didn't really bother me too much.

Overall: A good solid O'Connor read and I recommend it. I realize that I have plenty of criticisms of the book but I did enjoy it enough overall to feel it was worth the read and the money.

A lot could had been solved faster by talking to each other. For that reason 4 stars.

[norcalgal · Rating 2 out of 5]

“Dragon Lord” was one of those novels that had moments of good storytelling, but just not enough of them.

I’m the type of reader who likes my heroines to be a kick-ass, rootable female, and although Raina had flashes of spunk and gumption, they were overwhelmed (especially in the beginning of the story) by her feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It also didn’t help that after her encounter with Simon in his bedroom, Raina was so over the top overwrought with emotion – more than the scene warranted. I felt Kaitlyn O’Connor did a poor job setting the context for Raina’s immediate, powerful and visceral reaction to Simon after their encounter here. For me, an opportunity was lost attributing Raina’s melodramatic emotions as a reaction to Simon’s dracon. Perhaps the royal blood gave off powerful pheromones that severely impacted humans, which would justify Raina’s reaction, because otherwise, she just came across as an emo weirdo.

As to the hero, no matter how hard Kaitlyn O’Connor painted him as some supreme alpha specimen of manliness, strength, intelligence and depth, I just couldn’t warm to him. I think it’s because all the early descriptions of Simon’s physique and character (adverb) had more than a whiff of “trying too hard”. If an author wants me to like or even love her characters (noun), let it happen organically, rather than oversell them to the point I felt Simon was forced down my throat (and get your mind outta the gutter!).

I identified more with Simon’s put-upon, sad sack brother Audric. Audric was just more a sympathetic character for me – even given the tragic history of Simon’s wife and child. Not only was Audric a bastard in the literal sense, but his background was always depicted as coming up short and inferior to Simon in every way. I guess I have a soft spot for a character who's "dumped on" by their creator - - - especially when contrasting said character to a supposedly superior peer.

I felt the first half plus of the story spent too much time portraying the brooding, grieving Simon and “Cinderella” Raina while giving short shrift to plot development. It’s not until they all rocket off Earth that the story finally gets going. Not only does the pace and storytelling pick up after the action moves to Schalome (horrid name, that), but this is also when Raina finally comes into her own. Events in Schalome render Raina a character worthy of being a true heroine in all senses of the word.

The world building in this novel needed a lot of work, though. One would imagine the marvel – sheer astonishment of a world populated by shape shifting dragons, the many untold differences between Earth and Schlamone, yet the author never does more than merely touch on the wonders of Schalome, its geography and people and how they differ from Earth. For shame Kaitlyn O’Connor.

However, one thing the author did do right is present a plausible reasoning for dragon shifting, and the mechanics of it. Too many times, I’ve read other shape shifting novels wherein the author either glosses over the how-to aspects, or doesn’t even bother with an explanation.

My final criticism involves the need to shoe horn a “happily ever after” end to the story. It is highly implausible that the subjects of Schalome would accept a) a human as the Empress; or b) said Empress would take a consort. Both are completely outside the history of anything this world has ever witnessed. I just felt the author was too naïve and blithely breezy about the needs of Schalome after years-long oppression, deprivation, a civil war, and the reconstruction of their homeland. But hey – if I’m going to read about a foreign world with shape shifting dragons, I guess I should be able to swallow the HEA, right?

[Kym · Rating 4 out of 5]

Surprise surprise! I actually like it. Well a little more than liked. I am beginning to love this author.

Raina has become the center of a love triangle that is doing no more than bringing the past to the light. Simon and Audric has been down this road. The only difference is that Simon will finally see a way to fix the pain he once brought to his brother. Between the three, their love is strong no matter how difficult it may be at times.

Emperor Simon Draken lost his love Evangeline and daughter Tiera to his younger brother's hatred. Forced to watch jn horror. Forced to live with not being able to save them. Forced with the knowledge that his wife died only for loving him. Fate has made a point to reopen old wounds, well to spray lemon juice on the wounds that never closed. He became instantly obsessed with having Raina as his.

Audric is the bastard half brother to the rightful heir and his most trusted of the royal guard. He had his love stolen from him. Evangeline was his heart but he was forced to let her go because she was promised to the heir. After tragedy struck and after enduring years in exile, fate has turned his world upside down again. He falls in love with Raina even though he knows he will have to suffer. He knows she will not chose him in the end. And he must stay content with living in the shadows of his brother and ruler.

Raina cannot grasp what her heart is trying to tell her. It is pulling her in two different direction for two different reasons. She knows Audric loves her but she cant seem to give him the commitment he deserves. Simon always seems to steal her away again.

As for the war… it was awesome and earned this review a full star lol. I loved what the details did to my imagination. Especially the dragon. Nice touch.

[Jacqueline J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not only a great SFR read but a very well written and totally enjoyable book all around. This is the story of a human woman who goes to work for a group of aliens who have been exiled to Earth. She falls in love with the exiled Prince but also has feelings for his illegitimate half brother who is also one of his guards. The brother is used to his brother drawing all the attention from women. They have both been in love with the same woman before, the Prince's murdered wife. The illegitimate brother, Audric, sees this happening all over again when the heroine, Raina, falls for the Prince, Simon, after Audric had already fallen in love with her.

Most of the story is about these three people and their complicated relationship. Adding to the difficulities these 3 face is the return of the exiles to take back their country that they had been ousted from by a villain. There are some sex scenes, they are explicit but not raunchy. There are no menage scenes. Both of the men sleep with the heroine but it is not cheating. It is pretty much a matter of a break up which allows Audric and Raina to get together briefly.

The sci fi element is more along the lines of futuristic rather than hard sci fi but it was well done and believable.

This was a complete novel not a novella so good value for the money.

[Renee · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't read this author anymore. Why are all her stories based on miscommunication and heroines that make really really terrible decisions?
Her stories have such PROMISE but I spend the whole story gritting my teeth and cussing out the female lead

Also, I think the love triangle was very poorly done in this book. I don't think it had a proper place at all. Simon is too alpha to allow his woman to be placed in front of another male whether he thought it would help her or not and no way would he agree to share her. Nope, just nope. I love me ott alphas the most and that is just NOT true alpha behavior. And I never felt the h had true affection for Simon's brother, he was her second choice always from the beginning and she basically used him to forget. Maybe there is true affection but nothing like with Simon. Not when she is described as losing her breath just by seeing him. I could never play second fiddle, I would always have my heart break daily knowing I wasn't loved as much. Good manège stories (I know this is more a triangle than a manège) have all the MCs love each equally, that just isn't the same here. The h would never choose the brother over Simon and she didn't, she only chose him temporarily because she thought Simon didn't want her and didn't want to face that. The moment Simon showed up the brother was forgotten - again and again and again.

[Claudia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had a different feel for me than the previous ones I had read from Kaitlyn O'Connor.

It had more romance, more feelings and pretty well written.

Raina was on her own since she was 16, she has worked different jobs to provide for herself. She finds a job as a housekeeper at an estate close to the sea and meets her new employer.

Simon Draken coming from another world, that is recovering from the loss of his wife and child. He is hiding and waiting on earth for the right time to reclaim his throne as Emperor on his home planet.

When Simon and Raina met there was instant attraction and instant denial - from Simon's part. It was a gradual build of the relationship.
When Audric, Simon's half brother, entered the picture as potential partner to Raina, it was a bit disappointing but then Simon got territorial and put his claim on Raina.
But Simon left her to go and reclaim his empire he sent Audric as a consolation prize and here the story becomes a love triangle and not a menage.

In the end Raina got both of them Simon and Audric. Sometimes I am curious of the dynamics of the relationship since it was never a threesome. I good read though.

[Carolyn F. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't know who does most of this author's covers but they're not doing a very good job. This cut and paste with the head is done very poorly and the head is much too big for the body.

Now the book itself was really good. This author has such a talent of getting the essence of the heroine and almost every single one of her books the heroines are so completely different. Raina has had a rough life and finally has settled for a job as a housecleaner because she's unable to find a job in any of the fields she has went to school for. She knows how to clean a house but anything else and she's lost. The people that live on the island she works at are really different. But even with the differences they are attracted to each other. She finds there are conspiracies and secrets galore.

Confused and a little disappointed. I thought this book was funny and great until everyone started losing their mind. The story is great , Simon is on the verge of losing his mind when in walks Raina she is everything he wants and starts to lift his spirit. Somehow they come together to create something big. All of a sudden i'm turned for a loop there is another love interest she is just as in love with him as she is with the lead male character and they are just nuts. I loved Simon and Raina together. Did not like the rest. Ok read if you like SHAREING

[Brutally Honest · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ugh, I didn't enjoy this book. At all.

Raina: uh, you're literally living paycheck to paycheck and you still pull all kinds of bullshit on a job? I'm sorry, wtf?? She was bitchy, annoying, and completely unprofessional.

And honestly wtf was up with just ignoring Audric for 90% of the book and just leaving him hanging.... I just... I don't get it. Simon was also just a fucking idiot, unable to identify an enemy who was literally HIS BROTHER, when the exact same thing had happened to him before..... uh, okay.

[Angarad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Totally loved it. Raina was just so funny and sensitive without forgetting stubborn!!! She was so real you couldn t help but love her. I would have love to read more about her, Simon and Audric and about their world. It would have been the ice on the cake but we can still do without. Great read
