Something's Lurking in the swamplands of the Deep South...

Sky Broussard has spent the last nine years raising her nephews.
Between trying to make ends meet waitressing at the Bon Temps Café and keeping an eye on two troublesome teens,
she’s had zero time for romance.

No worries, she's not interested anyway.
Until she meets a snarly, growly, hotter-that-an-inferno hunk deep in the Louisiana bayou.

Too bad he thinks he’s a dragon, insists she's his mate, and follows her home refusing to leave her side.
He’s off his rocker. Seriously.
She really should put a stop to the insanity.
Except... he might be her chance to finally lose her V-card.

This is a feel-good shifter rom-com novella that transports you to a place where laughter is the status quo and a smile on your face is guaranteed.

This is a first for me , reviewing this author.I liked that it was refreshing and the sass was constant, the chuckles were to die for. The storyline was quite simple, nothing extra, but an easy read. All the sexy bits were mouth drooling. But I didn’t particularly care about the abrupt way it ended. Hence the 4 stars.
This is a cool book, no drama or suspense. Just pushy, Lovie dragon .⭐️

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

Tl;dr review:
Nonexistent plot, shallow characters, and sex that was present but meh, because it was, like the rest of the story, rushed and not thoroughly developed. Male lead was like a caricature, but Female lead was funny. Overall, it was entertaining in a fun, cheesy way, but nothing about it was particularly compelling or panty-melting.

The Plot:
There is no external plot outside of Sky’s internal indecision. There isn’t really a great conflict, things develop a bit too quickly, and the whole thing is little like a fan boat—just skimming across the top of the water.

The characters:
Sky is funny. Her narration is entertaining. Beast isn’t terribly likeable. He seemed a little ridiculous, like a caricature of the character the author wanted him to be. That alone made him less than attractive to me as well. The nephews are a bit unbelievable. Their antics are plausible, but I think their reaction about their aunt with a dragon at the end is a little off.

The sex:
Meh. MxF. Rushed. Detailed but not enough. Like the rest of the book, the sex seemed to skim the surface, and quickly at that. Things seemed rushed, and I didn’t really buy in like I wanted to.

I enjoyed this book. Not too long but long enough to get what I needed. Beast was over the top controlling but came to realize he needed to accommodate his mate. With a HEA it was a good book

Fire Breathing Beast: Dragons of the Bayou Book 1
By Candace Ayers
Kindle unlimited purchase
Sky is working her fingers to the bone. She took on the responsibility of raising her nephews, Casey and Nick. The boys know she needs this job but they still take off. Leaving her to work her shift and go home and cry at the kitchen table until she gets a call.
Beast is missing the old world. He has his "new" Castle but he likes his other one better. On the other world, he and his friends didn't need to hide.
I think im going to like this series. First off it's kind of a cookie-cutter plot... He's a dumb shifter don't know my head from the hole in the ground you made me you come with me and then she is like oh he is soo hot no I don't like you, but then HOW does she end in bed withh him? but the book still made me laugh, not going to give any spoilers but omg funny.
I DO recommend this to readers 18 and over, sorry.

I don't usually enjoy reading books about dragons, vampires, magical/mystical beings...but this story pulled me in! It was a simple story with simple - not complex characters, who I found myself rooting for. I do wish the story had continued on a bit to show what Beast's & Sky's life together was like, but basically this was a simple but surprisingly (to me!) good love story!

Fire Breathing Beast
I’ve read this authors Rancher Bears series. I really like her writing style and her characters. For relatively short stories (right around 120-130 pages) the stories flow well.
I like the story. It’s a quick easy read.
Sky and Beast
Sky is doing her best to raise her two teenage nephews. Money is tight, kids need shoes, and boys will be boys. Lots of attitude. Little patience.
The boys latest stunt finds them crossing into the territory of a creature that lives deep in the bayou.
Beast.
He’s old, cranky, has no manners or patience for little humans that trespass on his land.
But when Sky shows up to claim her nephews, he realizes instantly she’s his mate. And being the Neanderthal that he is, goes about claiming her in all the wrong ways.
Dragons. Beast is one. Sky thinks he’s delusional. Dragons aren’t real.
He claims her, but doesn’t explain what that means. He’s very over the top, growly and possessive.
A quick read. With some humor. I liked the characters, and the world created for these dragons. Very little drama.
Dual points of view.
No cheating.
No cliffhanger.
HEA.

if you do not know Candace's Dragon yet do not waist your time.
It was full of misunderstandings, teenage angst, dragons, new world building, and true mates finding their way together! Enjoyable read and great intro to the next dragon characters book .
Each book has its own style and offers a very different experience each time. Find the one that best suits your taste in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragons of the Bayou (1)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2019

Excellent start to the series. Beast has lived in the Bayou for a very long time, before that another world. Reasonable to assume he's very old fashioned in his ways. Sky is a modern girl, she's spent yrs fighting for and raising her 2 teenage nephews. While she worked they snuck off in her boat into the bayou to look for monsters etc, well the youngest did and the other got pulled in. They were on Beasts land, and he wasn't happy. After ensuring they were suitably scared and when mind talked to by a friend who insisted they be sent home to their adult, he got them to phone Sky, Beast told her where to come to collect them. When she arrived the boys were exploring, having fun. Beast went on high alert, Sky was his mate, but she wasn't impressed, though there was attraction she just wanted to take the boys home, so he went too. Dam good read, nothing too nasty a lot of laughs. Bring on book 2

What a lot of fun this book was. I totally loved Beast and Sky was perfect for him, he made me feel warm and fuzzy with his “ caveman” ways. It will be great to meet the rest of the Dragons.

This was not how I expected it to be. I really enjoyed it though. Sky was an amazing Aunt to the boys, giving all she could. I could have given her youngest Nephew a shake a time or two for being so selfish. Beast came across as being too old fashioned considering how long he'd been around. I'd have loved to have read a longer story with more background to Sky's past and the reason she's in the situation she is and a bigger epilogue too. Otherwise a great story and I'm looking forward to Cezars story.
