Bring the Heat (Dragon Kin, #9)

Why you should read it: G.A. Aiken (aka Shelly Laurenston) is by far one of my favorite authors. I find myself constantly laughing or giggling maniacally over one of her characters’ inner monologues … or more likely outer ones! The Dragon Kin books are especially amazing to me, because all of her heroines are strong, butt-kicking women who can handle whiny dragons with one hand tied behind their back. The audio versions are amazingly narrated and can be a danger if you are driving (laughing and spit-takes do not make for safe driving).
INTERVIEW WITH G.A.
Jessie: We readers ADORE the names you come up with for the dragons! Tell us about Aiden the Divine!
G.A.: I have to admit, I love coming up with the names for my Dragon Kin characters. I especially love legitimately giving heroines in a romance series names like Branwen the Awful, Ghleanna the Decimator, or Morfyd the Black Dragon of Despair, Killer of the Innocent, Annihilator of Souls. That last one is totally unfair to Morfyd, though … as everyone knows she’s a white She-dragon. Heh.
As for Aidan the Divine, he’s what the Mì-runachs are not used to. A smart, rational Berserker who considers it his job to keep his brethren alive. Not on the battlefield, they can manage that on their own. But out in the world, where the Mì-runachs’ collective mouths get them into trouble, that’s where Aidan really steps in and rules. At the very least, he keeps them from getting gutted by the women of the Cadwaladr Clan. Not an easy job for any male.
Jessie: Which was your favorite scene to write?
G.A.: There’s a scene with Brannie, Aidan, the Mì-runach, and Keita the Viper in a castle and Keita is attempting to get information out of a hostage. It’s the scene right after that when Brannie and the Mì-runach start to truly understand how dangerous Keita the Viper actually is. I really enjoyed that. I also love any scene where my Daughters of the Steppes are involved. Or anything with Annwyl. After all these years, I still love writing about Annwyl the Bloody.
Jessie: Branwen and Aiden have a slower-burning romance story line. How did you ensure readers would stay enthralled with their romance?
