Rare Temptations

by M.L. Eaden

When a very curious fire dragon approaches a demi-goddess for a job in her BDSM club, a subtle chemistry only a dragon can sense leads to a surprising attraction for both of them. As the resort’s summer season ends, they each have to sort through their feelings for the other and decide if this was a fling or something more.

Rare Temptations is a spicy dragon shifter romance. The Mythical Desires Universe is a queer-centric world where myth and legends exist alongside advanced science and technology.

Happened to spot this offering being tweeted about and am glad I did! It's exactly what it says on the tin, and more. Excellent quality writing and editing, "true form" sex, two likeable leads. Thoroughly enjoyed this quick romp.

Sweet & Steamy

I adored the characters and setting. A wonderful prelude to what I hope will be many more stories in the fascinating world of Firebaugh Resort. One of my absolute favorite aspects of this story was how it highlighted consent, safety, and different experiences of intimacy and emotion.

4.5 stars.

A perfect mix of smutty, sweet and sapphic love, between a plus size Demi goddess and a black dragon shifter.

I do believe this was my first dragon shifter and I don’t know what I was expecting. The smut was pretty hot, but I think I struggled to read from Freddie’s perspective. Sometimes the writing style made her sound really young and it threw me off. Otherwise a good time and all the more reason to keep reading hot sexy monster porn 😛

Easy 5 star read for me. This was such a cute sweet and sexy story. I think I found a new favorite monster romance writer in ML Eaden.

It beautifully told a story with two magical beings: one a dragon shifter, the other a demigod. The development of Francesca and what she learns from her fathers towards the end gives hope for a happy ending for Eilidh. It would be nice to read how they live together.

Beautiful

Did not expect the emotional response to this short sapphic shifter romance. I loved Freddie and Lee's relationship. The intimate scenes were very well done, and I honestly want more stories with these two.
