Fun read. The hero was a Roman soldier fighting in Britain when his legion was cursed into the bodies of dragons on a different plane. Now he's been moved back into the body of a [mostly] human male in Salem, Massachusetts. He doesn't speak the language or understand the culture so it's really lucky that local witch Vivica collects him and helps ease him into the skills he needs. She then sends him to the heroine who is in desperate of a handyman to fix up her aging home so she can open the house as a bed and breakfast before the house is foreclosed on. Unfortunately he doesn't know which end of a tool to grasp...but he IS a fast learner.

The heroine is frequently bemused by her strange handyman and the odd things that seem to happen around him. Inevitably sparks fly - deadlines press - and everyone rises to the occasion to pull off a successful launch of the B&B.

Action based plot with suspense, humor, and romance. Characters are fun and quirky 'critters' liven things up. The heroine from her Kitchen Witch has a bit part...

I enjoyed it - hopefully we'll see more of his 'brother dragons' although the teaser for the sequel didn't seem like it was going there.
