Review: Zhett, a chaos dragon, and his crew are given a mission of find, retrieve and bring back the four Khorone heirs that were hidden so long ago. When Zhett learns they had been located and at the mercy of Xona he heads in immediately to save the brothers.

Tallis has no clue who he really is until he is kidnapped. Upon awakening he learns he has brothers and that they are all dragon shifters. Tallis is the youngest of the brothers so has no memories of before. He’s fierce and deadly when he needs to be.

I loved this story of Zhett and Tallis and all the others. It was a fascinating blend of sci-fi, paranormal, suspense and action. There were so many heartstopping scenes when the brothers were captured multiple times.

I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

Review: Each book in the Love Your Dragon collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

I had not had the pleasure of reading any of Leah’s books until today, when I was given this series. I am not normally one that will start reading an author’s work that I have not heard of right off the bat. However, for some reason the series name was what caught my attention. I can honestly say that I am very glad to have started reading it. 

The characters were a blast to read about, so damn feisty. I love alphas and omegas, but there is something about one who is neither. One whose life had been thrown for a loop when they were younger. As with Tyrus, who had lost his family at a young age, he is the one that calls to me. 

Tyrus and his friends were sent to Earth to bring back the heirs to the throne. He and his friends had not expected the men to be so damn stubborn and feisty that is for sure. His little mate is trouble with a capital T. He has trust issues that might just cost him Tyrus. With Dante being the top suspect in the kidnapping of their team mate, he is in a bit of a pickle. Tyrus knows that with his past, the loss of his mate would tear him apart, he just needs the ass to see that.

Dante doesn’t trust anyone but his brothers. He also doesn’t like to be bossed around and will kick anyone’s ass who tries. However his next stupid move might just cost him it all. Then the doctor tells them the next shocker.

I enjoyed reading this story and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. There is a bit of confusion in this book, as with the others though. It can be just a bit hard to follow with the mixture of characters and keeping them apart. Also there are questions that the story doesn’t answer, but it doesn’t really take away from the story itself for me.

I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to read the next book.

Blurb: Jarrek Castalline is on the hunt for his kidnapped brother. When he ambushes the crew on the transporter where his brother disappeared, he discovers his mate is the commanding officer. Abducting his mate seems like a good idea at first, but by the time he reaches his hideaway, he can barely resist his fierce attraction to the unconscious and handsome captive.

Valken wakes to find himself captive to one of the Hynesin heirs, and his mate. Unfortunately, their first meeting goes south fast. Valken has little hope of convincing Jarrek he is not the enemy when his mate’s oldest brother is around, but he knows time is critical. His dragon needs to protect and claim his mate. He must get Jarrek safely on board the Dalistine before their enemies hunt them down and destroy them.

When Jarrek’s oldest brother goes missing, he and Valken realize that their enemies are closing in on them. Can Jarrek trust Valken to save his brother? Can Valken keep his mate alive?

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

While looking for his missing younger brother that he believes has been kidnapped, Jarrek comes across his mate Valken. At first Jarrek is confused by what he feels, and tries to stay away thinking that Valken is his enemy. Valken doesn’t not help matters by keeping his mouth shut about what has been going on either.

Valken is not a happy man. He has been taken hostage off his own ship, by his mate and Jarrek’s older brother. Unbeknownst to the brothers he could have escaped at any time. He is just biding his time until he can claim his mate.
I liked both MCs in this book. Jarrek is doing what he thinks is the right thing, even though he knows Valken his is mate. Valken is a little put out that his mate is denying him. Plus the fact that he is being held captive. When the two finally clear things up they are pretty explosives, and really sexy.

The writing was done well and moved fast. More information is given about the heirs and their gifts. Also, it gives insight to the next books coming in the series. I also like the unique take on the dragon lore. I always enjoy reading about different takes on well-known themes. I look forward to the next books in the series.

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

Tallis wakes up in the middle of his kidnapping. He tries to fight them off when they inject him with something that knocks him out. When he wakes again up two men that look similar to him start telling about his past and that he is truly a dragon. Finally rescue happens and the man who whisks him away turns out to be his mate, Zhett.

Zhett has been sent by the ruler of his people to locate the lost heirs to the thorn. When he find them on Earth he also learns the youngest heir is his mate.

The attraction and pull are intense between the two men right from the start. And it never lets up. Even as Zhett teaches Tallis what he needs to know about being a dragon shifter they keep distracting each other with their need. As this is all going on the enemies who hunt the heirs are still on the loose, Tallis’ brother are still trying to get him back, and few other little mishaps along the way.

This book was just plain fun to read. It was well written and fast paced. The action never stops or lags. Whether it was the hot and steamy sex scenes, or the action scenes, or anything else, everything just kept moving along steadily. I loved Tallis. He was just so damn funny and sexy. Zhett was everything one would want in a big and bad warrior.

Together the two made a kickass team. And I loved the little bomb dropped at the end.

I look forward to reading more in this series. It looks like it will be very entertaining.
