Character piece and Review: Jael from Claimed By Dragons by Katalina Leon and Amber Skyze

Book Character profile

Name: Jael (pronounced Ji-el)
Occupation: Photographer
Species: Female human
Speaks: My mind!
Age: 31
Height: 5’ 7”
Hair Color: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Identifying physical marks: A magic wish stone inexplicably branded a henna-like tattoo of two dragons into my palm as a mating mark! I think that’s pretty freaking distinctive.

Choose what do you prefer:

Day or Night;

Jael: I love evening, that’s when the light is most dramatic and I get the
best photographs.

Single or Taken:

Jael: I was commitment shy and I was single by choice for a long while. Now
I have two great guys, who are um… how should I say this, a little out of the
ordinary.

Cat or Dog:

Jael: I’ve got two dragons!

Gun or Knife:

Jael: I’m not afraid to use either but the weapon I wield to best advantage
in Claimed By Dragons are rocks! Sharp, pointy rocks thrown from on high at
sadistic creeps with guns. I’m proud to say I know how to be brutal against an
attacker with a pointy rock.

Upper body or Lower body:

Jael: I’ve got two men who score high on both sectors. Lucky me!

Blond or Dark:

Jael: Again lucky me, I have both. Roarke is dark and spicy with the good
looks of a Bollywood actor and Kypton is blond as sweet golden sunshine. Double
yum.

Two legs or Four legs?

Jael: With dragons-shifters we’re talking about powerful hind legs and wingspans.

Downtown or Nature:

Jael: Our favorite places are hidden dragon lairs in inaccessible mountain
caves. I get flown in on Roarke or Kypton’s back. I will admit Roarke’s
beautiful art-filled apartment and king sized bed ain’t bad either.

Love or Sex:

Jael: I have both! Our love is expressed with lots of scorching hot
three-way and two-way sex in every combination you can think of. Marduko’s
dragons are highly sexed, bi-sexual and loyal to their partners onto death. As
long as everyone feels loved—anything goes.

Bacon and eggs or Pancakes:

Jael: On our adventure we ate a lot of MRE’s in foil packets which Kypton
stocked the caves with. When we’re in the city I love one of Burt’s breakfast
burrito at the Explorer café.

Lips or Neck:

Jael: I have a confession… I love aphrodisiac Marduko dragon bites
delivered to my nape. The bites are loaded with Marduko pheromones and leave my
blood boiling. The bites make me feel lust drunk and I kind of lose it, or end
up begging for it. Lucky for me I’ve got two men to exhaust.”

Dead or Alive:

Jael: My lovers are very much alive and we fought tooth and talon to stay
that way! We were nearly killed several times during our adventure by
dragon-slaying zealots and every day we have together as a mated trio is
precious to me.

A quick quote:

(After climbing onto a dragon’s back holding on for dear life while being
flung, screaming from a mountain cliff.

“This ain’t no pony ride!”)

Anything else noteworthy:

Jael: I know I told you the guys were dragon shifters, but did I mention
they were also royalty from a dying alien world, hiding on Earth? I can’t
remember if I told you that.”

Little Q&A

What did you do before the story begun?

Jael: I worked as a photojournalist for International Explorer magazine and
network. Roarke was my manager and Kypton worked in IT. At first I was
determined not to date my co-workers, but hell the temptation was just too
much. Of course I didn’t know they were Marduko dragons at the time that little
surprise came later. I also did not know they were
secretly flooding me with Marduko pheromones at work, those sneaks.

What is your favorite part/memory?

Jael: After making love all night in our dragon lair on Mount Kilimanjaro,
Roarke and Kypton took me for a pre-dawn flight on Roark’s back across the
Kenyan grasslands. Flying with dragons was the most terrifying and freeing
thing I’d ever experienced in my life. After that I was game for more danger
and adventure.

If you and your mates would go on a date, where would it be and why?

Jael: A dream date for Roarke, Kypton and I would be a weekend in a remote
mountain area where we can go flying as a pack and bond as mates.

What are your favorite weapons?

Jael: I already told you about the pointy rocks but my cell phone and my
mouth are lethal too. In a pinch I’ll risk anything to protect my loved ones.

What/who would you never want to come across again?

Jael: I would never want to encounter The Order of the Knights of Saint
George or the OKSG ever again, those guys are brutal.

If you could have a re-match. With who would that be?

Jael: I’d take a re-match with Commander Bienheuré, but this time he can
have the pointy rock and I’ll take the Glock.

How do you see your future?

Jael: Roarke, Kypton and I are now a fully committed mated trio. Roarke
says he can sense a change in my chemistry and scent. There’s no going back
now. I think we can expect a little Marduko dragon shifter sometime next year.

Do you have to tell anything else noteworthy?

Jael: Yes, all you single ladies out through, please don’t be afraid to try
something new or date outside your type. If it’s good be prepared to fight for
it!

Character piece and Review: Jael from Claimed By Dragons by Katalina Leon and Amber Skyze

Genre: Paranormal Shape-shifter Menage

In an odd Wiccan shop in Salem, Jael pulls an unusual stone from a witch’s wish bag. Little does she know her wildest dreams of adventure and a torrid affair with two gorgeous co-workers are about to come true—in spades.

Jael’s dreamy boss, Roarke offers her the assignment of a lifetime: a photo safari to Mount Kilimanjaro. The African scenery is stunning but the unexpected arrival of her two office crushes, Roarke and Kypton ignites her passion. Just as the trio is getting steamy at a beautiful waterfall, danger intervenes forcing the men to reveal their secret. They’re dragons. And now, to save her life, they have no choice but to abduct a startled Jael to their mountain lair on Kilimanjaro.

In the dragons’ love nest, Jael learns the truth about their origins and explores all the erotic possibilities two eager lovers can offer. Love awakens, but the guys are being stalked by a covert group of dragon hunters and withholding a life or death secret that will push Jael’s courageous heart and commitment to the limits.

Aaah somehow Blogger deleted my review… Had to start all over again! Sorry for the late postsing. But better late than never!

Claimed By Dragons is the first book I have read written by Amber Skyze or Katalina Leon. But definitely the last one. I don’t know if the write together for long but after reading Claimed By Dragons I know they are a fantastic writing team with enough hot material to keep their readers gaining!

Claimed By Dragons is the second book of the Bag of Tricks Series, I have not read the first book The Strix but I had not really the idea I missed anything so I can tell you, that these books can be read as standalone.

Amber Skyze and Katalina Leon really did their best with Claimed By Dragons, it’s a dragon shapeshifter paranormal erotic/romance. With all the right elements to keep the paranormal readers interested. The story is strong written with some action, fun and interesting paranormal elements like the dragons, witches, little bit of magic and of course two good looking hot blooded (or cold blooded because of the dragon part, have to check that with the girls??) men. Who also could entertain themselves with just the two of them without the woman always in centre of the threesome.

Threesome? yes you read it right. Apparently these two dragon shifters share their mate 🙂 Jael, the lucky girl of this story meets her drain shifter mates where she works because the are her colleagues.. Roarke and Kypton are a original pair, the bloand and the dark one! as well in character as looks. Well, I can tell you I have been looking around but could not detect them among my co-workers…

I don’t know how the girls do the writing if they split the book in two, or each a chapter but I could not detect a change in writing style. But it seams to me two can maybe come up with a more interesting plot than just one mastermind.

Although I liked the story and kept me reading till late at night, I still missed a few little nibbits at the end of the story. More like confusion. For example; Part where Jael is engaged with the two shifters each in the threesome has one ring. But when Jael meets a woman that is married two two shifters the woman wheres two wedding bands? (point two I need to ask)

Overall I enjoyed Claimed By Dragons very much. The revealing of the dragon part was a little stretched and at the end there was an introduction to a pregnancy or at least some tests. Would have been nice to have seen the little to rushed ending of the story with the announcement of the pregnancy.

Maybe I speak to soon and will it all come thru in book 3 of Bag of Tricks Series by Amber Skyze or Katalina Leon. I just have to wait and see 🙂 I recommend Claimed By Dragons to all (18+) paranormal readers. The M/M part of this story makes it extra spicy! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it when you have read Claimed By Dragons!
