Tip #1 for dealing with dragons: be prepared for anything My whole life, I thought dragons were majestic, wise, and fearsome creatures. Not to mention fictional. It's been less than a year since that last belief was debunked. Dragons are real, they're now living among us, and I'm the lucky realtor who gets to sell a house to their leader. I just have to impress his representative first. No problem-I'm a professional. Except the dragon rep turns out to be the guy I hooked up with last night, and he's fast disproving everything I believed about dragons. Unless "wise" actually means "addicted to glitter" and "majestic" is a euphemism for "overgrown frat boy." Hagen might actually be the most annoying person I've ever met, yet I can't resist going on a date with him. One thing's for sure, someone needs to write me a how-to guide for dating a dragon . . . glitter not included. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book is a quick, funny read. It’s a spin-off series from one of the author’s other books and it might be a good idea to read the book that mentions how the dragons ended up on Earth first, before this one. The reason I say that is, I didn’t read the series that leads into this one and I was lost at the beginning of this story. We’re introduced to a bunch of other characters at the office where Hagan works. Hagan is trying to hide from his boss and we’re given a lot of explanation as to why, what happened in the past, and then the other characters end up talking over each other. I didn’t know who the characters were, how they related to each other, and the info about them being new to Earth or what kind of magical beings they were. The author threw a lot of information at the reader all at once and I found it confusing and unpleasant to read. It didn’t help that Hagan was hyper and dramatic which added intensity to the story because of his personality. I don’t know if that’s typical for the dragon species in this world as the author wrote him, but it was difficult keeping up with his train of thought. Readers are given a bit of a breather when we see the story through Jay’s pov, who is calmer.
The blurb doesn’t give much info about the plot so here’s a bit more. Jay and Hagan hook up at a bar one night. The next day Jay is shocked because Hagan is the representative to the dragon clan on buying a piece of property Jay intends to sell them. Jay realizes he may have blown his opportunity by having sex with Hagan the night before. He wants to start over, professionally. Hagen doesn’t care, he just wants to have sex with Jay again and teases and pokes at him at every opportunity. That’s his idea of fun. So, the story is about Hagen trying to entice Jay into having sex again while they check out properties, and Jay trying to be professional and resist, because he really wants to sell a property to the dragons. Selling one would make a name for himself. The author did a great job with the banter, although Hagen would get on my nerves if he was a real person who was around all the time. The two characters seem well suited to each other and even though this was a short novella, I could believe in them as a couple by the end.
This is a cute, fast read. Intriguing world and characters, although Hagan was too dramatic, impulsive, and immature for me. The author has a talent at making the dialogue and character interactions funny. I might consider reading more in this series because it sounds interesting. I’m just wary that the other books might end up like the beginning of this one did. Too much over the top banter, with too much info thrown at the readers so that I’m confused. That’s what brought the star rating down for me on this story. I give How to Date a Dragon, 3 Stars.
