Dragon Shifter Romance
A romance subgenre where the hero (or heroine) is a shapeshifter who can transform into a dragon, often with a hoard, a cave, or a protective, possessive nature that ties directly into the mating bond.
Why readers love it
Readers love the raw power and ancient mystery of dragons, and watching that power turn tender (or dangerously possessive) for one human is the ultimate fantasy of being uniquely desired. The dragon's hoard and flight also play into themes of protection, wealth, and escape from mundane life.
