Great Read

This author was different than was I usually read but I'm glad I tried something different. This is a great action packed book. The girls in the story are tough and kick butt.

HAWTNESS

Candace Havens is an all star and her books are always great. The characters popped off the page and they made me laugh out loud!

A refreshing voice

Candace Havens has a witty, trendy, upbeat voice as she pens the adventures of the paparazzi-hounded, fashionistas, the Caruthers Sisters. The four sisters are celebrities, but they are also guardians against all kinds of supernatural shinanigans. If you like your paranormal romance a little more light-hearted, then this series is for you. Dragons Prefer Blondes was my first Caruthers Sisters novel, but it was such a fun read that I plan to go back and buy the first one. And I'm looking forward to the next release as well.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I read this book all in one sitting while on a three hour flight. I totally loved Alex and her sisters (also loved the Demon King and I). The romance was steamy hot, the heroine someone I'd be friends with, and the supporting characters (such as the elderly mage) were fascinating. All in all, a fantastic bit of entertainment. I'm looking forward to the next one!

kick-butt urban fantasy

Socialite Alex Caruthers lives a dual life. First she runs nightclubs around the globe and second she is a dragon slayer Guardian, hunting down the Ahi predators who attack humans. Her world is filled with no free moments for romance beyond a quickie and the irony of believing only a crazy person would become a Guardian. Dragon warrior Ginjin stuns her when he declares her to be his soulmate. They have not had what might loosely call an amiable relationship as he has tried to kill her on several occasions. She informs her new paramour that he is too late. She insists she is already in a heated relationship with the head of security, Jake before she is forced by powers much greater than her to accept her enemy as her bed partner. The only problem with the queen of one night trysts is Jake raises her desire way beyond that of the heat any dragon can muster. The latest Caruthers sisters' kick-butt urban fantasy (see THE DEMON KING AND I) is fast-paced and filled with plenty of action as readers will enjoy the heroine's musing asides re life's unfair complexities. Alex feels like she jumped from the fry pan into the fire after she announces Jake as her fiancé whose kiss heats her soul (let alone her body). Filled with jocularity, Candace Havens provides another entertaining romp as dragons may prefer blondes, but this blonde prefers a human hunk. Harriet Klausner
