About this book
Isaac went against his family when he refused to join the military.
He had dreams, and he wasn't going to cave to family pressure to give them up. So when his boss offers him an opportunity to get some real experience in the job he's working toward, he leaps at the chance. The only problem is that his new boss is a grumpy dragon with a short fuse known to terrorize the office. But that wasn't anything Isaac couldn't handle. Right?
Maverick always had a temper. Most dragons did. It wasn't something that affected his work. Until it did. Overworked and consistently dealing with incompetence, Maverick was at his wits' end. In a last bid to keep his temper in check, he agreed with a recommendation to hire a temporary assistant to help him. But when the stubborn pink-haired mage shows up, his dragon takes notice, and suddenly, Maverick's limited control has gone up in smoke. Now, his career is on the line, and the only person willing to help him is the one who drove him over the edge. Things couldn't get any worse. Right?
Includes a bonus scene, "Confrontations with a Professor."

This is a new author for me and now one of my favorites! Dragons tend to be on my \"read now\" list so I tried this one. And it was great! I read straight through, only stopping for more coffee and loved it! And to top that off, the grammar is perfect! A winner! I immediately grabbed book one (didn't bother me to read them out of order) and I see that the author intends to write more stories in this series. I certainly hope that she writes fast! In the meantime, I am planning to try some of her...

This was a very cute book. I've always loved a good grump and then watching him melt for his person. That is the epitome of this book. Isaac's sass and Maverick's grumpiness were the highlights of this story. I enjoyed seeing these two get tangled up in each other. This book would have benefited from more relationship development. I feel like most of the book was fairly slow in development and then 70% of the way through it hit light speed and didn't fully track. The ending also fizzled out in...

Where Avery was adorable, Isaac was spicy. Watching Maverick and Isaac tussle was great fun. It was nice to get more insight on the dragon. Learning about traditions and seeing their magic was really interesting as well )

It was well past midnight when I finally had to stop. It took another two hours to finish a great story. I sort of read this series out of order, starting with number four before going to the beginning, but it's still a great ride doing it! )

Isaac is a mage who is trying to work, go to law school and study. Maverick is a dragon, and head of the lawyers in a fantastic company. He also has a problem with his temper. Isaac wants to help him curb the worst of his temper. A great book by Amy Padilla. Highly Recommended )
