Theresa Nichols is heartsick, and in serious need of a sex-filled date with her cyber partner, Zeke Siccardi. Unfortunately, it’s just not that easy. 200 years ago, Theresa took a sip from the Goblet of Youth (a.k.a. Mona, who’s current disguise is an espresso maker.) Now she’s stuck in the body of a dragon, which makes leaving her apartment a bit of a challenge, even for New York City. Especially when she haves a massive craving for Vic’s Pretzels.

Things will get ugly if she doesn’t get her pretzel – and Zeke – fix, but try as she might, she can’t manage to turn herself back into a human (her last effort garnered a single human fingernail.) Beyond desperate, she’s even willing to make a deal with Satan for just one date with the luscious man.

The plot thickens when someone puts a bounty on Theresa’s head…and hires Zeke to do it. Zeke isn’t just a hot and sexy cyber master, but a dragonslayer. He’s well aware of what Theresa really is, and willing to be an honorable man to protect the lovely dragon. That’s if he can get over wanting to kill her. Yeah, that can definitely put a crimp in a love affair.

Ordinarily, I’m not into dragons but this was so imaginative and comical that I couldn't put it down. Satan is lovesick when he isn’t busy trying to take over the world, and has the best line in the book: Yes, I am Satan, and I deserve more than empty sex. Mona has an attitude problem (wouldn’t you if you were an espresso machine?)

But the two main characters are what make the book. You’re rooting for hot sex and a love match, even though Zeke has that pesky desire to kill the object of his affection. No romance is perfect.

The banter is hilarious and the plot is downright bizarre, but it’s well worth the time if you want a paranormal romantic fantasy that’s way off the beaten path.
