DRAGON LOVER
Draconia Tales, book three
Predicted from birth
to be mates, Aryana and Fafnir spent their youth running from each other and
pursuing their own dreams. Aryana sought power and magic, while Fafnir escaped
to explore other lands and to find a love not dictated by cryptic prophecy.
But after Fafnir is
captured and magically locked in his dragon form, he returns to Draconia. Ashamed
and broken, he hides his true identity from everyone, hoping Aryana will find a
spell that will return him to his human self.
The last thing
Aryana needs or wants is to find out her mate still lives-for a mated female
cannot be a priestess, let alone the High Priestess. Yet his dragon's presence
brings out her true abilities. When opposing dreams collide, will love be the
victor?
WARRIOR LOVER
Draconia Tales, book two
As a Watcher, a guardian warrior of the Draconi,
Enar has never fit in with his kind. When he sees Lily--the ideal Watcher's woman--he
instantly claims her, believing she will bring him the acceptance he craves.
Falling in love with her was not part of his plan.
As her town's outcast, Lily wants nothing more
than to escape. When Enar locks a necklace around her throat and declares she
belongs to him, she jumps at the chance to leave. Her excitement soon becomes
trepidation when Enar won't tell her what to expect in his world. But even her
worry can't overcome her growing attraction to him.
Soon Lily learns what life as a Watcher's claim
entails, and refuses to submit. To keep Lily, Enar must turn his back on
everything he thought he wanted. Will he choose his people? Or the other half
of his soul?
MAGICAL LOVER
Draconia Tales, book one
In a world where men can become dragons, Thoren is
one of the most powerful. As a shape-shifting Draconi, Thoren wants nothing
more than to continue searching for Halfling children, and returning them to
Draconia. The last thing he wants or needs is a mate-until he meets Keara, an
outcast unaware of the power that lies within her. Keara doesn't know what to
make of Thoren or of the magic he practices. She learned early to keep her
magic hidden-her witchy red hair and green eyes are burden enough. When Thoren
offers his hand in place of a forced marriage with Lord Simon, Keara jumps at
the chance to leave her town behind. But she fears Thoren will shun her when he
discovers the truth about her abilities. Can Thoren convince Keara she is his
lifemate, or will her secret talent be the wedge that drives them apart?
KARILYN BENTLEY'S love of
reading stories and preference of sitting in front of a computer at home
instead of in a cube, drove her to pen her own works, blending fantasy and
romance mixed with a touch of funny.
Her paranormal romance novella,
Werewolves in London, placed in the Got Wolf contest and started her writing
career as an author of sexy heroes and lush fantasy worlds.
Karilyn lives in North Texas with
her own hunky hero, a psycho dog nicknamed Hell Hound, and a handful of
colorful saltwater fish.
When asked, "Why Dragons?"
KARILYN'S ANSWER: I’ve always found dragons fascinating. They’re
huge, scaly and pretty much the biggest, baddest things out there. Plus they
have wings and can get places faster than walking. My dragons perform magic and
turn into sexy men. Who doesn’t want a sexy man flying them places and
protecting them from harm? <g>
Today we have both the author and heroes from Karilyn
Bentley's DRACONIA.
ANGI: Thoren, Enar or Fafnir… Do your heroes' names
have special meanings?
KARILYN: Yes, they do! Well,
two of them do. I made up Thoren's. <g> The name Fafnir means dragon and
Enar means fighter in Old Norse. The names fit what is going on in their lives
during the stories.
ANGI: What’s your favorite “love” word?
THOREN: I call Keara Little One.
ENAR: I've always called Lily, Woman. But judging from the looks I'm now getting, I might want to
change it to my love.
FAFNIR: My mate. I like the way Ari reacts when I call her
that. <grins>
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
KARILYN: This is harder than
it sounds! I can't narrow it down to just one. I love the original Star Wars
series and the Indiana Jones movies. Those are my favorites! And I can't forget
the Harry Potter series and anything having to do with Thor. Most Marvel
superhero movies. Okay, so I can't count. <g>
ANGI: What do you like best about Draconia?
THOREN: The magic and sense of community.
ENAR: Friends and acceptance.
FAFNIR: It's home. After
you've been locked in a cell for years all you want is to return home.
ANGI: Can you tell us something special about each of
your heroes?
KARILYN: I'd love to! Enar tried to take over Thoren's book
until I decided to give him his own story. <g> He's tough talking, but is
a big softy with his woman. Thoren enjoys doing the housework for his mate,
Keara. Fafnir flies across the sky with Aryana when no one is watching.
ANGI: If you were an action film star, who would you be?
THOREN: Captain America
ENAR: Despite my resemblance to Thor, I'd have to choose
John McLane from Die Hard.
FAFNIR: Spiderman. We're both hiding our identities.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What's your favorite scene from
all three books?
KARILYN'S GOTTA ANSWER: When Fafnir tells his daughter he's her father
(she never realized who he was prior to then). It's not the reaction he
expects.

UP NEXT for KARILYN:
I'm also working on a contemporary fantasy series that isn't
a romance, although it does have romantic elements. This series features a
nurse empath who discovers a magical bracelet that gives her demon-slaying
powers. Needless to say, she's not too happy about her new powers and even less
happy to be followed by sexy hunk who may or may not have her best interests at
heart. I'm really excited about this series!!
