Dragon's Fire

Shadow of the Dragon #2

by Tielle St. Clare

Power comes from passion. Those words haunt Tiana's nights. A witch with no powers, Tiana is rejected and pitied by her people. She lives a contented, quiet existence on the edge of the Matriarchy's lands-until Princess Merena kidnaps Prince Rainek of Xicanth to use as a sex slave. Seeing his strong, naked body chained to the wall, Tiana discovers desires and needs she never expected-and the passion that flows between them has unexpected results. Patience. Denith, the dragon who shares Rainek's mind, has been preaching patience all his life and Rainek doesn't want to hear it any more. He wants the bedamned beast to pick a mate for him. After thirty celibate summers, he's a frustrated, exhausted virgin.and now he's been captured, stripped and chained inside a dungeon by a conniving princess. His situation hasn't improved. But when a dainty little thing comes into the dungeon to bathe him, Rainek and Denith immediately recognize her as the one. Now Rainek just has to free himself, kidnap his mate, and convince her that life with a dragon was what she always wanted. Simple.

About the author

Tielle (pronounced "teal") St. Clare has had life-long love of romance novels. She began reading romances in the 7th grade when she discovered Victoria Holt novels and began writing romances at the age of 16 (during Trigonometry, if the truth be told). During her senior year in high school, the class dressed up as what they would be in twenty years-Tielle dressed as a romance writer.

When not writing romances, Tielle has worked in public relations and video production for the past 20 years. Tielle moved to Alaska when she was seven years old in 1972 when her father was transferred with the military.

Tielle believes romances should be hot and sexy with a great story and fun characters.

If you're looking for hot dragon tongue action, gorgeous, sexy heroes with stamina, and strong women heroines...check out the Dragon series from Tielle St. Clare. This is book two and it's just as hot as book one!

Rainek is tired of being a virgin! He's 30 and WWAAYYY past ready to have sex with something other than his hand!! Unfortunately, he shares his body and mind with his dragon Denith, who refuses to allow him to have real sex with anybody except his mate and Rainek has surely shown Denith every woman in the kingdom. In an effort to provide Denith with an even wider selection, Rainek decides to make the trek to the neighboring matriarchy. He's drugged and captured by one of the princesses who wants his dragon power and figures she can seduce a child out of him and force their marriage once she's preggers. Rainek is NOT happy...and neither is Denith. At least until another woman enters the dungeon where he's being kept. As soon as Denith and Rainek get a sniff...they know she's their chosen mate...and there's NOTHING they won't do to claim her!

This series is destined for my keeper shelf! It's fantasy, it's hot, and I enjoy the stories. Next up in the series is "Dragon's Rise".

Princess Tiana hides out in her dusty castle keeping a low profile because she seems to have no magic abilities which force her witch family to look down on her.

Her sister decides to capture dragon prince Rainek and turn him into a sex slave. Poor Tiana’s castle is the perfect hideout for this and she must prepare the prince for his training.

Aya carumba!

It was hot dragon action with a matriarchal race who train men for their pleasure.

It was delightfully hot and silly.

I read this years ago & remember really liking it but that's all I can remember.

It took this second read for me to catch that Spoiled Princess knew about her power. I just thought she knew Tiana hadn't experienced true passion. I mean if you were super smug about yourself and had seduced princes and kings aplenty, and had a sister that didn't know true passion, there'd be some nose rubbing. Also wonder why Rainek didn't leave the surrounding area after the 1st day of cave pleasuring was done. They shouldn't eaten and then took off, to a safer location so he could have his way with her.

The H is 1/2 dragon shifter, son of H in book 1. He is great, almost 30 and still a virgin because his dragon won't settle for anyone other than their mate. The h is a drudge for evil OW who kidnaps the H, wants his babies to make her powerful. Of course the dragon knows who he wants and he makes it happen. There were a lot of challenges to overcome, and really the rescue took too long but I liked the story even more than book 1.

If you're looking for erotica, I'd give this 4 stars. It only gets 2 for the romance though. The writing wasn't bad, and I definitely liked the plot (that's why I picked it up), but it's pretty much just a sex book. If you like that, then this is a good one and I can suggest it.

[Kukko · Rating 2 out of 5]

There is a lot of erotic dragon/human action in this book, but that is about all this book has going for it. The first book is better than this one. Both books seem to follow a similar formula which starts to lose it's shine by the second book. I am not sure I want to read the next two books in the series

Rainek is the half-dragon/half-man offspring of Kei and Lorran from Book 1. He inexplicably decides to go to another kingdom to search for a wife....having never had real sex, because his dragon-self (Denith) can only mate with THE ONE, he finds himself still searching for the perfect mate at the age of 30. Tiana is a timid outcast in a matriarchal kindgom where her mother is Queen. She is a witch with no visible powers until she meets Rainek. Tiana is not very smart and after making love to both Denith and Rainek in the absence of the other...she finally figures it out...but by then I didn't really care...

This book was the second in the author's series about dragons, this time following one of the sons from the union made in the first book, Dragon's Kiss. Unfortunately, with a few differences, this book reads almost exactly the same as the first one. The changes made in the plot due to the differences between books one and two made for interesting reading, but I couldn't garner much more excitement than that. I have a feeling that books three and four will be much the same as this one, the same repeats of the first books with some plot changes for variety. It makes me hesitate to purchase the other books in the series, so I'll be looking into borrowing them when I can.

[Erin Kyle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This second book was much like the first in a few ways...
1. combination of man and dragon
2. determined search for mate
3. furious protection of mate
4. SEX

yet very different because Denith has been with Rainek since birth (more mature than Nekane), and they have more of an immediate, natural, compatible relationship. (Kei spends last book resisting Nekane, but Rainek and Denith are true partners.)


I love, love, love the first book and, though this second book isn't quite involved enough to earn 5 stars, I love this book, too. I love the duality of Denith and Rainek, the switch between man and beast, and the fight for their true mate.

Definitely a re-reader.

[Cindy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun read. This is the story of Rainek - Lorran and Kei's middle son. Rainek goes looking for his mate - at 30 he's getting really tired of being a virgin...

There's a whole lot of hot Energizer bunny sex but it has an interesting plot, good characters and cute dialog. Warning the heroine has [oral:] sex with the hero in dragon form - if that bugs you stay away from these four.

1. Dragon's Kiss (2004)
2. Dragon's Fire (2005)
3. Dragon's Rise (2005)
4. Dragon's Prey (2009)

[MK · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story contains dragons(duh), the word "mine", and multiple sex scenes between the heroine and the hero/dragon. The plot is interesting enough, but because of the oversexed scenes, it becomes almost inconsequential with the story. The sex scenes are just like a filler to make the story longer than it should be. The climax part is also anti-climatic, that there are no direct retributions to the villains. I also become more interested in Bren's character than this one. Anyway, this is an entertaining read, just skip most of the sex scenes so you will not be oversexed by it.

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love this book! I didn't realize it was book 2 in a series and I don't feel like I missed anything jumping into the first one but now I do want to read the first one!! Sometimes the Ellora Cave books are a little too much in the constant sex and it did get a smidge repetitive but all in all, a very good book in my opinion.

It was funny, sexy and smart. Hated Merena but it all worked out the in the end.

[Fyrrea · Rating 1 out of 5]

What the hell did I just read? xD
A girl having sex with a man and a dragon. 90% of the book is sex, the rest is not really interesting. I didn't really care about the characters, didn't feel connected to them. And rhe sex scenes were repetitive and boring.
My opinion: grab a partner, jump to bed and have fun, it will be much better than reading this piece of crap :-)

[Lizzie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this crazy story. Already caught into the series by book one, I knew this would be just as goofy and good. Dragons are one of my favorite supernatural beings. I read 'dragon' books the most. So I understand a good story can easily go bad. This one stayed pretty interesting the whole way through. Definitely a good book to lay in the park with to pass a few hours away.

[Jane (PS) · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was only OK. I felt the writing and the story line was a bit boring. There was lots of sex, but it didn't give me any emotional connection. It was all just 'whatever'. I'm not going to bother with anymore.

3.8/5

Para ser el primer libro que leo de Tielle, me gustó mucho. Es "hottie" pero el hecho de meter dragones a su historia lo hace interesante. Me pareció bueno, pero me dejó con ganas de leer sobre los otros dos hermanos. >.<

[Ana · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series just gets weirder and weirder. One things that's completely unchanged though is the sex rule. One sex scene every two pages. And the hilarity of the situations. It's just ridiculous. Seriously. I am so not bothering to read the rest.

[Laurie Garrison · Rating 2 out of 5]

Erotic romance with a HEA. This book doesn't offer the story-line or background on the characters as you get in the first book. Dragon's Fire is chucked full of sex which included oral with the dragon.

[Shauntia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. It had a great plot with interesting characters. I really got pulled into the relationship between Tiana and Rainek. I can't wait to read the next book to see what is in store for Kei's two other children.

[Life Without Frank · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book two is just as hot and naughty as book one. I actually found myself looking around and thinking "OMG, I hope no one knows what I'm reading right now". Get ready to breathe hard and fan yourself...a lot!

[Yessenia Andaverde · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enchanting reading, an enchanting dragon, marvelous love story and characters that almost jump off the pages.

I had a great time reading this book, and is like, the 3rd time I do so. It never gets boring.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm really enjoying Tielle St. Clare's "Shadow of the Dragon" series. I enjoy the need the dragons have for their mate. These are very steamy romances.

Dragon's fire

This book was ok. I don't regret reading it, but I felt that the sex kept interrupting the story and the story was very imaginative and interesting.

Osea era demasiado gracioso, él secuestrado, y sin poder evitarlo. El dragón es demasiado adorable
