About this book
The first book in Molly Harper's uproariously funny, sinfully sexy new Mystic Bayou series!
Anthropologist Jillian Ramsay's career has taken a turn south.
Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations. Mermaids and gator shifters swim in the bayou. Spirit bottles light the front porches after twilight. Dragons light the fires under crayfish pots.
Jillian's first assignment for the League could be her last. Mystic Bayou is wary of outsiders, and she has difficulty getting locals to talk to her. And she can't get the gruff town sheriff, Bael Boone, off of her back or out of her mind. Bael is the finest male specimen she's seen in a long time, even though he might not be human. Soon their flirtation is hotter than a dragon's breath, which Bael just might turn out to be...
This book is based on the Audible Original audiobook.
"A fantabulous paranormal adventure that takes you to the sexy culture of the Bayou, where various shifter species live in harmony...and an enthralling tale between a dragon and a human researcher...I couldn't put this book down!" Addicted to Romance

While it wasn't as funny as some of her other books, it was full of witty banter. The characters were very interesting and fun. The storyline was unique, which is always nice. The main characters had good chemistry, even though there was a bumpy road to the romance, they had to maneuver through most of the book to get there. The mystery was well written and a little intense. I'm trying to not do spoilers. It's a very good read and I enjoyed all of it. You'll chuckle a lot and love the book....

This was a great start to a great series. It's fun and laugh out loud amusing throughout. The sexy time scenes seemed a little out of place. Like they could have been setup a little better. \"Wow that's a lot of rain. That's neat.\" Boom. Now they're naked. It took me a minute to realize that I hadn't skipped a page. That's really the only negative I have. I will say that I love dragon shifters and the true name thing is always cool. This however was the best true dragon name I've seen so far....

How to Date Your Dragon is the first book I read from Molly Harper. It is the first in a series about the unique residents of Mystic Bayou. Bael and Jillian are fascinating main characters. The secondary characters are well written and intriguing to make you want to learn more about them. I love to read about shifters, and the mythology surrounding them . Plus, there's a murder mystery and a romance which is well crafted. I can't wait to read the other books in this series. I highly recommend! )

This is a great first book in the series, the characters immediately get your attention and are likable from initial introduction. I did however feel this book was a little predictable and the jump from freniemies to much more was very abrupt. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. )
