What’s luck got to do with it? Dragon shifter Blaine Harcourt’s bewildered when he catches a woman robbing his parents’ Newport Mansion. It gets worse when they leave him in charge of her punishment. His step-dad says it’s time to prove he’s worthy of his future inheritance. His mother just blames him for the whole thing. Blaine’s so angry he just can’t even. Kimiko Ichiro only wanted to replace what she stole from her father. It’s not her fault the only luck charms powerful enough to stop his rapid aging are in the Harcourt hoard. Robbing powerful dragon shifters seemed like the only way. Besides, thievery’s no big deal to a Tanuki. Blaine’s used to dealing with books and artifacts, not brilliantly dishonest women. Is Kimiko just using her feminine wiles to hoodwink him, or is something else at play here? And how did she get into the Harcourt’s magically sealed vault in the first place? Could Blaine’s part in foiling an evil magus be the reason for his bad luck, and can Kimiko help him turn it around? Extrahumans of all types abound on this urban campus on the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island. This Ivy-League college recently opened its doors to anyone with enough talent. The Admissions Department at PPC enrolls humans with extraordinary grades, the magically and psychically inclined, vampires, werewolves, changelings, and even magic shifters like dragons and Kelpies. Come take a tour! If you like YA and NA Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy with strong romantic subplots, you’ll feel right at home here. This book has no cheating and a HEA ending for the main characters.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017
D.R. Perry has done it again! I love this series and of course the local dragon shifter is my favourite!

Blaine has his hands full with a feisty female burglar with luck on her side. As luck would have it, he's been put in charge of her punishment. He soon finds out there is more to the story than a simple theft. The tow are left to their own devices to solve the mystery before the game turns deadly and their luck runs out.

The series storyline is getting hot! I can't wait to see where Perry is taking us in the next instalment. Blaine and the gang from Providence Paranormal College are vibrant characters that have a lot to offer potential readers.

The only comment I have is that I find keeping track of who is seelie or unseelie difficult. There are so many supporting characters it can be a bit overwhelming.

Overall a great addition to the series! 4.5/5 stars!

Awesome! Find out how an attempted burglary changes the fate of one of the pack members. Not only in leading them one step closer to finding the enemy but also in securing his mate. Although the others make more or less cameo appearances it is all about the dragon. Will he finally be able to step out of the shadow of his mother? Great read and if you enjoyed Nocturnal Falls or Paris, Texas then you enjoy this as well.

Dragon My Heart Around is the fourth book in the Providence Paranormal College series by D. R. Perry.

I almost wanted to give this book four stars for that short story at the end. But only because I'm sure I know Ed from starting another series in this universe. And Robert is an intriguing character all on his lonesome. Foreshadowing inside foreshadowing, that.

I'm disappointed that this extension of the PPC series fell short of expectations, mainly progression wise. It's upsetting given how much I've come to enjoy and adore this cast of characters. No one book has flawless character development. If it wasn't necessitated by the boundaries of each relationship to section each coupling into their own books it would be more enjoyable to have them sectioned differently. Perhaps together? To see how these characters individually and interactively evolve throughout the series more clearly. But, I have to rate this book on its own basis.

Kimiko Ichiro is the perfect dichotomy to her betrothed. She is, if not bubbly, full of energy and expression. Excitable, yet still capable of the level of intelligence to rival his own. I wish we could have seen more of her magic. Alas, the story itself got in the way of that. It seems the author does this often. I'd hate to be disparaging, but multiple instances in each series where clear opportunities are conveniently impossible by the stories plot make it so. In the instance of discovering more into Tanuki Luck, like with Josh's pack politics, the plot hampered any truly detailed understanding.

Blaine has more secrets than were honestly expressed in the writing. His mother has guiding him to be what she pretends: cold-hearted. Surviving her acid spit attacks, controlling him through all avenues, bearing her anger issues. He's lost his birth father, and lived with a distant step-father. Under the pressure of the heir to their powerful family name, with the weight of public opinion against him ever achieving anything on his own. This brilliant dragon is still under all of this turmoil and pain, I can only hope that when his sister's egg hatches he will have the loving family he so deserves.

This book made facing the Extramagus even more convoluted than the tangled discoveries throughout the previous books in the series. Now the Tin Foil Pack must also face a Duke level Seelie Djinn. Hidden connections, convergence, and coincidence that seems to be tied to the past. Apparently, for some reason the parents of this generation of college students know something of what's coming but their interference will only spell more trouble than true assistance?

***THIS BOOK WAS PROVIDED TO NERD GIRL IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***

Dragon My Heart Around by D.R. Perry is the fourth Providence Paranormal College Story. It may be my favorite so far.

Blaine Harcourt is a Dragon shifter used to the best, without all the work. Except his studies; he works hard in his schoolwork, and as such, is known as the Brain of his group of friends.

Then he catches Kimiko Ichiro in his families vault, in their Hoard, and his life takes a turn.

I love Dragon shifters, and I really love Blaine; he puts out a devil-may-care attitude, but he's really a sweetie at heart.

As much as the entire series, Dragon My Heart Around is a definite must-read!.

This depends on reading the previous books for context. The characters are well written and developed, so you care about them. Rates higher than it should have normally. I'm not sure how it relates to PPC series.

Picking up on the heels of the end of the third book in the series, Dragon My Heart Around finally gives us some insight into the world of Blaine Harcourt who has been a major supporting character since the very beginning. In doing so we get a much better idea as to why he is the way he is, while also because of the way the series works, giving him some needed personal growth and a love interest.

That love interest comes in the form of one of the key players amongst the college age students in book 3 and it's a slightly different approach that's taken as to how they get involved with each other. The overall series long plot continues to twist and turn as we get snippets as to who is responsible for all the problems while also allowing Perry to flex their storytelling muscles a bit by breaking the formula of each book a bit while still holding to the usual pattern.
