"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."  ~ From Goodreads



I got to say I quite loved Claimed by Dragons, even though the beginning dragged on and I was tempted to read something else it soon enough picked up and I was hooked. There was a lot more science fiction in this than I expected, but in a good way - it was still very much a shifter romance but I loved the sci-fi angle. I don't know how Skyze and Leon worked this duo but they mesh well and there isn't obvious lines drawn on writers and their style. I'm always so tempted to try and figure out who is writing who, but here I just went with the story. Claimed by Dragons is well written, fun, exciting and definitely sexy in all the yummy ways!

Now to characters! Roarke the Alpha of the dragons was quite intimidating dark, powerful and strict but ended up being more gentle in the bedroom than Kypton who was blond, slighter in built, shyer but had a real dominating streak when it came to sex. And that little mix-up was delicious! Both men were entertaining to read and their relationship with each other was quite loving, I really never read M/M but I liked Roarke and Kypton together even when Jael wasn't there.

Jael was alright, she had some fire and guts, but I couldn't really relate to her, she was bit too brazen at times to be believable - but then she had gentler moments and those I really liked.

I enjoyed the angle on the romance, Roarke's demise if he doesn't get mated created a nice urgency to the story, but let's face it it was all there to begin with so all they needed was to fess up and it was good. What I really liked was the covert group OKSG coming at them to make falling in love and mating a lot harder, it had a cool little Da Vinci Code vibe to it.

I loved all the romance, and I loved the erotic side of Claimed by Dragons! With slightly more believable characters and nixing or mixing the past in there differently this would have been 5 star for me. But at 4 stars you can see it wasn't a big deal, and I very much enjoyed the whole book!
