Too Hot to Handle: Never Fall for a Dragon Will Leave You Breathless

Fiery Passion and Forbidden Bonds: My Review of Never Fall for a Dragon by Lola Glass

Never Fall for a Dragon by Lola Glass is the steamy fantasy romance you didn’t know you needed. This book grabs you by the throat from page one and doesn’t let go until you’re begging for more. If you’re into sizzling chemistry, irresistible tension, and dragons—lots of dragons—then this is the book for you.

The Storyline

The story kicks off with Elodie, our relatable, sharp-witted heroine, working on her laptop in a public space. But what starts as a quiet afternoon quickly turns into chaos when she witnesses (what she assumes is) a couple arguing. True to her girls’ girl instincts, Elodie steps in to defend the woman—only to discover that the “couple” wasn’t what it seemed.

The man she tried to “cool down” turns out to be a dragon shifter, and the woman he was arguing with? His human sister. As if that twist wasn’t shocking enough, the dragon shifter immediately recognizes Elodie as his fated mate. Unknowingly, she’s been bound to him in a mating process that lasts two weeks, during which they must either fully bond for life or reject the process. Easy, right? Just say no to the insanely hot dragon shifter for two weeks. What’s the worst that could happen?

Oh, Elodie learns exactly what can happen. Spoiler: it’s an emotional, fiery, and wild ride filled with scorching chemistry and tension that you just can’t look away from.

What Makes It Shine

This book is a whirlwind of steam, humor, and dragon magic. Elodie’s snarky and independent personality plays perfectly against her dragon shifter mate’s intense and possessive nature, creating a dynamic that’s both electric and hilarious. Their back-and-forth banter and sizzling tension make every interaction worth savoring.

The lore behind the dragon shifters adds a unique depth to the story. The mating bond and its unbreakable rules raise the stakes in every scene, making you wonder how (or if) Elodie will manage to resist the pull. And let’s be real: the odds aren’t in her favor, and you’ll love every second of watching her try.
