MY REVIEWS

He’s pretended to share the Gloria Furore space pirates’ views and has worked his way up the ranks, but Ryke wants nothing more than to escape and go home to his young son. The capture of Princess Anguissa and her ship is a moment of triumph for his superior, except Anguissa never plays by anyone’s rules and she’s soon in command of the Armada Seven. Ryke’s not sure why he’s been spared or what plans the beautiful dragon princess has in store for him but surely he can manipulate things the way he wants them to go, right?

This ‘Dragons of Incendium’ story is one non-stop, thrilling adventure of a story with lots of sizzling chemistry, flying sparks and feisty attitude that readers cannot put down. Anguissa and Ryke are vibrant characters that stand out and really spark the imagination with tons of chemistry and feisty attitude that keeps readers very entertained throughout their fiery relationship. They are enemies and are forbidden to have anything to do with the other but that doesn’t stop the attraction between them from getting the upper hand even if they aren’t sure they can trust the other so there is lots of emotional angst and red hot passion to spare.

The plot is fast past with lots going on at every given moment, ensuring that readers never experience a dull moment and the thrilling suspense and nail biting excitement has them hanging on to the edge of their seat. Some new and unique story elements introduce another fascinating alien culture to this world as another dragon princess defies tradition does things in their own spitfire way. 

He’s the hidden prince who understands the language of wild creatures and now he has unearthed a forgotten secret and accepts a challenge and embarks on a quest, seeking the solution to a riddle.

This short is quite informative with a lovely and very engaging legend regarding the dragons. This legend is enthralling and the teller of the legend, even more so and readers can’t take their eyes from the pages. This sets up the next story and ends on a cliffhanger but the readers find themselves delighted and charmed with this novella in the ‘Dragons of Incendium’ series.

WYVERN'S OUTLAW is #4 & CELO'S QUEST is #4.5 in the DRAGONS OF INCENDIUM series.

Features dragon shifter princesses whose adventures are out of this world!

Once, in the Kingdom of Incendium, there were twelve princesses of the realm, each a dragon shifter. Each fiery and passionate. Each possessed of an appetite for pleasure that only her destined mate can satisfy. Twelve men are expected in Incendium, each with special powers of his own, each with the gift to claim one dragon princess’s heart forever.

On the far side of the galaxy, two planets, Regalia and Incendium, are locked into orbit around a dying sun. Since the Queen of Regalia has twelve sons, and the King of Incendium has twelve daughters, it is clear to both monarchs that the time has come to put their differences aside and compel at least one pair of their children to marry. A prophecy that Drakina, the oldest daughter of the house of Incendium, will bear a son who will save the planet simply adds to the parental desire for a wedding.

The sons of Regalia are champions and knights. The daughters of Incendium are dragon shifters, fiery princesses with appetites beyond all expectation.

The first royal match does not work out well.

As a Dragon Royal’s Guard one of his responsibilities is watching over the Royal Family and the only thing Jared finds harder than watching over Ally is trying to keep his hands off her. From an early age, Ally learned that men’s affection were fickle, but once her sister found true love Ally realized what she really wanted was someone to love her.

‘Ally’s Guard is a delightful and charming read with a feisty feel that tickles readers’ imaginations.  While on the short side, this amusing romance has all the right ingredients to make is wonderful afternoon delight. The chemistry between Jared and Ally is sizzles with a strong electric current from every page with emotional overtones that makes the characters come to life. This couple seems to have the wrong ideas about a very right subject and those wrong ideas make them a bit prickly which keeps things interesting throughout. 

The plot is fast paced with the suspense of the relationship building throughout and then to make even more exciting, there is a danger to Ally that no one is expecting which livens things up and puts them both in a different frame of mind.
