Summary

They were drawn to one another by an attraction that neither could comprehend. Nor resist.

Holden has come to Earth as one of the last of his kind. Dedicated to raising one of the dragon babies left behind by his slain queen, he must acclimate to this strange new planet in order to succeed. 

Humans prove to be odd creatures, but one blue-eyed beauty compels him in ways he’s never experienced. Their paths cross often, and he can barely keep his inner dragon in check when she’s nearby. The fierce need to protect her completely takes over, and he knows he must have her.

After a year of separation, Leah’s divorce from her cheating ex is final. She’s relieved, but finds the stress of everything has compromised her psychic abilities, which she relies on to keep a roof over her head. 

She knows she just needs time, and pushing forward with her new life as a single woman sounds like the perfect solution. But when she keeps running into the same mysterious, gorgeous stranger, Leah’s plan to write off men proves to be harder than she thought. 

With her reluctance to start a new relationship and Holden’s secret, will these two find a way to be together as fate intends them to be?

Please note: Steamy shifter scenes inside! Suitable for listeners 18 and above.

Short but sweet

This was a short but oh so sweet fated mates shifter romance. In this book, the first book of the series, we meet Holden and his friends who are dragon shifters who had to escape extermination in their old world. During their escape, they saved 4 babies (technically eggs at that point) and now each are fathers. They come to earth trying to find mates. I especially found it adorable as they talked about the different ways to meet women. Anyway, Leah has just gotten a divorce and isn't ready for another relationship. But will both listen to their hearts when the universe sends overt signs that they are supposed to be together? This is such a sweet cute story. Overall, it was short but to the point and I really liked the start of this series. I have to go get the other books to read now :D


Elle Sonali did really well. This wasn't first person so I guess it was ok that there wasn't a male narrator too but overall, I always do like dual narration. However, Elle Sonali did a great job playing all the different roles as well as assuming both male and female characters.

My first shifter dragon story

🌟🌟🌟💫 This book is my first by this author and my first ever shifter dragon book. It was quite a short book and got straight to the action of meeting. I liked her group of friends and that they all had powers. Made a change from what I usually listen/read. I thought it never explained how she stopped her ex husband communicating her as it kept mentioning him but didn’t explain it.

I actually listened to this book and I enjoyed the narration of Elle Sonali. She was good at doing the female and male voices and I will listen to her narrations in future.

Great storyline

This was a good short story. I’m hoping there will be a lot more from this wonderful world that Meg has built. Excellent narration from Elle.
