I like Candace Havens, and I particularly like the two Caruthers sisters books I've read. Dragons Prefer Blondes focuses on Alex, who, as one of the four Guardian Keys [and her sisters], is responsible for keeping the Dragons in line. Alex has her hands full, between the big-time incursion of evil trying to take over the world, a Dragon king who's demanding she become his mate, and, probably most terrifying for Alex - the job of planning the wedding of the century for her rich, spoiled, indecisive BFF Aspen. Not to mention that she's suddenly admitted that she has the hots for Jake - the security guy responsible for keeping Alex and her sisters alive as they go about their business of controlling the magical beings of multiple alternate worlds . . .And you thought YOUR life was complicated?! Ha!These books are like chocolate-covered coffee beans - sweet, spicy, fun and decadent, along with a big caffeine kick of excitement. They are fast, easy reads and highly entertaining, since the Caruthers sisters do their world-saving work with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks and with healthy senses of humour. The characters are clever and likeable and the plots whip along fast and furious. I recommend this series if you like smart, sexy, spunky butt-kicking heroines who jet-set around the world, run high-profile businesses, date hot guys, and, oh, yeah - save the world, doing all that in designer couture and four-inch heels - well, what more could you ask for?? This series is lighthearted and fun, but there is an illogical basis for the world (despite the overt illogic of a fantasy landscape, lol) which bugs me: The main characters, sisters who are superhero Guardians, are wealthy socialites that teleport all over the globe even though they are followed by paparazzi everywhere. For example, you can't just go to Spain and out on the town when you were spotted in NYC that afternoon; not and avoid being found out in short order. On occasion, yes, but not several times a day popping all over the globe. But these are light reads and perhaps most readers of the paranormal romance genre aren't as picky about having the world logic pretty flawless as I am.
What do You think about Dragons Prefer Blondes (2009)?
Hilariously bad. Too bad that there isn't a rating for "B books" because it would get five stars.
