ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 13, 2022

Megan Campbell has a plan. Finish her master’s degree – check. Land the museum internship of her dreams – check. Let her hair down for just one night to celebrate with an amazing man – check, check, CHECK.

Not part of her plan? Having him ghost her after their night together – uncheck. Finding out she’s pregnant two months later – nope, nope, NOPE.

Time for a new plan. So Megan goes looking for Baby Daddy to tell him the truth. Until she sees him sprout wings, that is! Because, plan or no plan, she never expected to raise a half-dragon baby. Or to fall for Eric, her baby’s father.

Especially when the dragon clan is threatened and she is caught in the crossfire. Now Megan and Eric are working together to find out who wants to destroy them.

Can they stop the attacks and protect the clan and their baby’s future? And can she trust her heart to lead her down the right path, or will she end up getting burned?

REVIEW: I read previous books from this author and loved them (Wedding Planner Series 👍🏻 and a real favourite of mine Mind Sweeper series 👌)

I wasn’t going to read this book, I was just going to dive into book two. But the author advises that it can be read on its own ok, but there is an ongoing story. So I’ll start with this one….

This author weaves a spell so enticing, that you don’t want to come out….

Getting pregnant wasn’t on Megan’s plan just yet! And certainly not by some random guy! But she’s staring at a test that states otherwise! What’s a girl to do? Does she inform the guy? Or does she raise it on her own?

Eric doesn’t remember the human who now informs he’s going to be a daddy? (We do find out in the book as to why he forgot her!) But it’s not a great start!!!

I did like how adaptable Megan became. I loved her lists that she mentally drew up for herself.

Eric took a little more time to warm up to. He wasn’t looking for a mate or a baby! (But when he finally comes round 😉

His character is a loyal dragon and he’s a good tactician (which he’s going to need)

Best friend Tessa was a riot! So funny. Her one liners had me laughing at all the wrong moments (train ride/bus journey) Eric’s sister Sienna was a great character too. And don’t forget the Dragon clan 😜

So will this pair take on raising a family together? Or will the dragon war pull them apart? Is it even possible for them to be together? (Does the world know about dragons?)

As I said at the start, the series is made up of standalone books, but it’s advisable to read in order. And I can totally see why. There is the story that starts here, and I’m sure it’s going to continue for a few more books.

The story flows well and we aren’t bombarded with useless information (or page filling! *pet peeve 😜) We even have a character that may or may not be a villain 😉 but to find out your going to have to read the book.

I can’t wait to read the next story in this new series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 14, 2024

Tessa Stuart is all about protecting her best friend. But her BFF Megan is married now. She should be able to drop her protective instincts, right? Except Megan’s husband is a dragon shifter. Yep, dragons. Apparently, dragons are losing their powers because of a curse set in motion by evil witches. Yep, witches. So much for taking a step back… Instead, Tessa jumps in with both designer clad feet. With a few white lies, she convinces the private investigator looking into the curse to let her help.

A great plan until she realizes he isn’t who or what he says he is.

Ben Wells doesn’t remember anything about his past. Even his name is made up. The only clue he has is a bag full of money and two names on a piece of paper. Setting out to find the truth, he doesn’t expect to have a gorgeous and determined woman mistake him for a private investigator. Who is he to correct her, especially if working with her can lead him to the truth about his past?

A great plan until he realizes she isn’t who he expected her to be.

As their lies unravel, they both must face the truth, even if it’s ugly. Is Ben ready to embrace his past if he hates what he discovers? And instead of protecting her friend, the dragon clan, and her heart, did Tessa accidentally invite the enemy closer?

REVIEW: Book two of this new series, and we catch up with Megan’s best friend Tessa. (Megan was in book one Dragon Kissed) Tessa was a great friend and character, so I was excited to find out she was in this book too.

If you’ve read the blurb then you’ll discover not only dragons in this book, but witches too! They play a pivotal role in the series, luckily we get a quick catch up in this book, (but I’d recommend reading the first book before grabbing this one.)

Tessa is fun loving, go getting and a fierce protector of anyone she loves. She’s also tired of men making the wrong assumptions about her (yes, she might have been a model, but she’s got brains and integrity, not a pushover!) In her role of protector, she becomes aware of a few things, so she turns detective in order to get her best friend and new family. Coming to terms with the knowledge that Dragons and witches exist, was a little daunting at first, but seeing Megan and Eric together has made up for any lingering doubts Tessa had.

Ben was found wandering…. covered in 🩸 and having no memory of who he is/was/might have been!

It’s been over a year since he was taken in and cared for, and Ben still has no recollection of who he is! (His rescuer named him Ben!)

But Walter has a secret, and it’s going to change Ben’s life…. for the better? Who knows! But armed with an address and a name, Ben is going to hopefully get the answers he needs!

Twists and turns keep this book flowing. No page fillers, no unnecessary information to keep you from a gripping story. In fact I couldn’t put it down until I was done!

The pair find themselves working together (and maybe a little confusing on who they actually are!?) and along they way they discover themselves and what they could mean to one another.

But can the secrets that Ben and Tessa reveal keep the couple together? Or will fate hand them another twist that will cause more heartbreak?

There is an OMG moment (or two 😉) there is one liners that you will be desperate to say 😜 and intense moments that will have you gripping your kindle.

We also get (possible) information on the next book 🤞and where the story will go next.

We get to catch up with Eric and Megan. Spend time with Sienna (Eric’s sister) and ponder on Marcus 🤔

If you want to know more about these characters and the situation that they find themselves in, grab it and immerse yourself in a story filled with paranormal beings, a curse and one or two HEA’s 😜
