The Doable Dragon

Male-Order Mates #9

by Lorelei M. Hart

Peter

I was one of the lucky ones.
At least that was what I’d been told my entire life. And maybe I was. Not many shifters will take in a foundling dragon the way my adoptive rabbit colony did. Only I was taken in but not accepted, and that sucked.

When my beau of two years left me to mate with another, it sucked. But I was used to it. No one stuck with me for long. What kind of life could he have with a dragon, after all? But this one extra stung when he informed me I should know by now that I might be “doable” but never “mateable.” If I wanted to find my forever love, I needed to make a change, and I did, by downloading the Male-Order Mates App.

Conri

Selling my successful bakery to a huge corporate conglomerate seemed like the best idea at the time.
Who doesn’t want to have enough money to live on comfortably for the rest of their life by the age of thirty-two? I hadn’t taken into consideration that my bakery was my life and, now that it was gone, I had no purpose. After finding a loophole in my contract, I decided to start living again…in a small town just outside a national park.

I loved my new town. The people were great, business was steady, and the location stunning. If only I had someone to share it with. That was when I overheard one of my regulars talking about the Male-Order Mates app. It was worth a try, right? But I forgot the number one caveat about You never have the full story. In this case, that story included me being one of the only non-shifters in this place. Yikes.

We have an upgrade! In this book, not only do we get new plot points, the characters keep their personalities and flaws after meeting, but also we get conflict! Yay!

My Favorite

This story is my favorite of the series and not just because I love Dragons. The mixup was a nice touch and made the story more interesting.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

[Judy Ferrell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Differences attract

Conri is human but gets mistaken for a bear. Peter is a dragon that lives with rabbits. The two together make the most unlikely but loving pair.

Such a good book!

Great story! These characters were Wonderful and loved the way their HEA came together! Totally recommend this book. You won't be disappointed.

[Rebecca Grove]

Conri is a human alpha. He ran a very successful bakery chain but sold it for more money than he ever needed. Now he has settled down in the mountains and has opened a new bakery. He is happy with his new life but lonely. One day he hears two friends talking about signing up with an app called male-order mates because so many new couples in town have found their one through them. Conri signs up on the app but is confused about some of the questions. He is asked if her is a bear or a wolf oretc. Conri decides these are just cute slang words and checks bear since he is big and has a hairy chest. Conri gets a notification that he has been matched with Peter who is a dragon. The two talk and decide to give it a chance so Peter comes to town. It is quickly clear that they are mates but Conri is confused why Peter keeps talking about going for a run in the forest.

Peter lost his parents as a toddler in a car crash. He stumbles across a rabbit colony who take him in even though he is a dragon shifter. They treat him kindly but few truly accept him. He has arranged a business like mating with an alpha who wants the land Peter inherited from his adopted dad. When they are supposed to sign the contracts, his intended mate never shows up. He learns that his intended mate is telling everyone that he is a doable dragon but not mateable. Peter's neighbor tells him he needs to leave the colony to be happy and helps him sign up on Male Order mates. Maybe someone out there will think he is mateable even if he is a dragon who doesn't know how to be a dragon. He is matched up with Conri who is listed as a bear. Their match seems to be perfect but Conri isn't quite what Peter expected. He is an alpha but not very bear-like.

This is book 9 of the Male-Order Mates series and it is my favourite so far! I just loved this book. This is the story of Conri and Peter. Conri is a 32 year old who has sold his business and has enough money to comfortably live for the rest of his life. Quickly life in the city became boring. To change that he moved to a small town right outside a National Park. He has started a small bakery and loves his life. He has many good friends, a business that he once again enjoys but he is starting to get lonely. Overhearing friends talking about the Male Order Mates App, he quickly applies. He is beyond thrilled when he matches up with Peter. Peter is a dragon shifter who has spent his entire life living in a rabbit colony. He has been tolerated but not accepted by the colony. When his beau dumps him without a word, he calls Peter doable but not mateable. Luckily Peter's surrogate father Saul enrolls him in the Male Order Mates App. The two are matched and the rest is history. Peter slowly clues in that Conri is the sole human living in a town full of shifters. And he is totally clueless. Well it is up to Peter to educate Conri on all things dragon and shifter. This is a funny and warm story. Your heart will ache for Peter and his sense of isolation but know that there is a happy ending in store for him. This is their story. I really loved this book. It is well written and easy to read. The characters are inviting. The chemistry between Peter and Conri is great. This is a sweet story that you are sure to enjoy. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Our local bakery owner, Conri, has heard of the Male-Order Mating app from his friends and overheard conversations. He figures it wouldn't hurt and he likes the term "mate" so he signs up. Peter, yes, the dragon although he is purple with green highlights, is tired of being the out of place in his fluffle. He never truly fit in because, dragon! and all of the others around were cute and cuddly bunnies. After speaking with his BFF and pseudo father, Saul, he decides to give the app a go not expecting much. When these two are paired, it begins a HEA that may have a bump or two along the way. The bumps? Conri may live in the middle of numerous shifters as well as being good friends with many of them but that does NOT mean he knows they are shifters. When Peter figures this out, he shows Conri his beast. He takes it well but does not think he is enough for such an awe-inspiring creature with him being only human. After he talks with his friends things smooth out but there may be another bump or two they need to learn about. Join the fun with this next book in the series full of love, HEA and babies.

This story was a little bit different, what does a dragon shifter know after being raised by a bunch of bunnies. Found wandering when he was a little boy, they took him in, so he knew nothing about his Dragon. And he did hate being treated differently. thanks to his old friend. He went on the dating app and was about to take the train ride to meet his future. Peter was ready for this change, only there is a surprise waiting Conri was ready to have someone special in his life, and over hearing everybody talk about this wonderful app even though we had a trouble figuring out a lot of the wording, he decided to go for it. I guess it was a big surprise, considering he is human surrounded by shifters and he didn’t even know it. but a human in love with a dragon what could be more precious than that except the pregnancy that followed. And this pregnancy was very different than anything. I have read about before and shifter books. It was so worth the read. I loved it. And a little twin surprises at the end. Makes it worth your while.

Dragon shifter Peter was found wandering as a small child and adopted by a rabbit colony. In need of a mate his latest rejection said that he was "doable". So he downloaded the Male-Order Mates App. Human Conri sold a successful bakery then opened a new one in a small town. The people were great, business was steady, and the location stunning. But he had no one to share it with. That was when he overheard one of his regulars talking about the Male-Order Mates app. It was worth a try, right? But he forgot the number one caveat about eavesdropping: You never have the full story. In this case, that story included me being one of the only non-shifters in this place.

This was a sweet story of how a human and a shifter were mated via the app which worked out far better than it could have been. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and MPREG.

[Shawna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved The Doable Dragon: M/M Shifter Mpreg Romance Book 9 of Male-Order Mates. Conri is lonely and overheard someone talking about a dating app, he figures why not try it. Turns out it’s a shifter dating app and Conri isn’t a shifter. Peter is a dragon shifter in an adopted family of rabbits. He’s lonely and signs up foe the same dating app. They have an amazing connection but Peter can’t help but wonder why Conri never wants to meet his dragon until he realizes he’s not a shifter and now he worries he will be rejected by his mate. This was such a sweet story and I loved the characters. I can’t wait to go back and read the prior books. I would definitely recommend this book.

Peter was raised by rabbit shifters and his life was somewhat isolated. Not really treated as part of the family. Conri worked all the time, decided to make a change - only to work some more. He finally pulled his head up for air, realizing he was lonely.
When they meet, it was a slight confusion but not enough to throw them off their path to happiness.
You do have to laugh at Conri. He had no clue he was surrounded by shifters. Besides the initial surprise that his mate was a shifter, he took it all in stride.

Male-Order mates; all looking for something better and end up with the sweetest happily ever after. This series never gets old. Each story is just as endearing as the last.

**I received this ARC for my honest feedback.**

Lotsa fun! Peter, dragon, is taken in by a rabbit colony and was always told he was supposed to be greatful. Sadly, he always felt an outsider and not necessarily welcome. He was humiliated when his ex fiance told him he was not marriage material. Conri, human thought selling his business was a good idea, until he realized he was now without his purpose. He moves to a new town. He is lonely looking for someone to share his new life with. He overhears a conversation about the Male-Order mates and signs up. He didn't know about shifters, so he starts on a new adventure that ends up with his forever love.Peter and Conri, are adorable. Fun and funny. Great seeing old friends. Nicely done.

I absolutely loved this book! It's my favorite in this series. I adored Peter and Conri. I thought they were adorable together. Peter was so sweet and I felt so sad for him that the rabbit fluffle never really accepted him, his mate-to-be backed out without bothering to tell him to his face, and he had no connections to other dragons and knew so little of them. I loved his hoarding habits and thought the interactions with his dragon were cute. I loved the premise of a dragon mated to a human whom he thought was a bear, and a human who didn't understand the use of the animal words when he described himself or why Peter called himself a dragon. The supporting characters in this book were also wonderful and, at times, heartwarming. 5 stars.

"...wait until they give you something to worry about before worrying,..."

Peter is a dragon who was taken in by rabbits, fortunate to be raised among shifters, but odd man out, and all too aware he lacks knowledge about his own species.

Conri has a successful bakery, and a good life... he might envy his friends and neighbors who have been finding love and settling down, but he can find that too -- especially if he's willing to give the same app a chance.

This done in one kindle unlimited quick read places value on communication, brings to light the variety of assumptions we make, and conclusions we jump to in life, and shows a beautiful chosen family and tight knit community.

Peter, an omega dragon shifter, realizes that he’ll never find the mate he desires in the fluffle of rabbit shifters he’s been raised in and signs up with a male-order dating app to help him find an alpha. Alpha Conri has no idea that shifters exist and signs up for the same app unaware it’s intended for shifters. The two match and Peter travels with his hoard to join Conri and it’s instant heat. So funny how Peter and Conri keep talking around the whole shifter thing until Peter finally realizes Conri has no clue. Sweet MM Omegaverse romance with plenty of heat, a loving couple, supporting community and friends, and cute egg babies.

[Sara Sigler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Conri sold his bakery and moved to a town where he was the only human but didn’t know it, started another bakery. Heard some talking about the male-order mate app and signed up for it. Peter was a dragon raised by a rabbit couple that found him after his parents had been killed in an accident but then the person he was going to be mated to to didn’t want him. Peter signed up for the app him and Cormac hit it off so Peter moved to be with Cormac. Then Cormac found out about the people he had become friends with. Good book!.

The Adorable Dragon

This is the story of a human baker and a dragon that was orphaned and raised by rabbit shifters. After he’s left by yet another alpha because he isn’t a rabbit, Peter signs up for Male Order Mates. On the other side of the country, Conri also signs up after hearing his friends talking about the app. They are matched and a whole bunch of confusion ensues, but by the time the truth comes out they have fallen in love and Conri loves Peter’s dragon. There is some confusion about dragon pregnancies, since Peter never had other dragons to talk to, but of course it all works out in the end, and there is an adorable HEA! These are feel good stories and I just love them!

Your mate says he's a dragon... for real?

I am in love with this series! The whole Mail-order Mates app really works; over and over and over. My old friends welcomed me back. And the doughnuts and pastries and the Grizzley's specials will have your mouth watering. Come. Join a dragon with unique hoards, and a human who discovers a whole new world exists. Get ready for lots of sex, beautiful eggs, adorable babies, and a fire pit. You will absolutely love this book! Do yourself a favor and read the other books in this series. Time. Well. Spent.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Peter and Conri are both lonely and found each other through the Male-Order Mates App. While Conri wasn't supposed to know of this app, it was like fate stepped in. It was instant attraction between Conri and Peter which quickly become love. I like how Conri accepts all of Peter including his dragon and his third father Saul, a rabbit shifter. Peter in turn accepts that his mate is human without a problem after misunderstandings are cleared up.

[Latecia Jennings · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these different match ups that becomes forever mates. This was good being that Conri was a human alpha and Peter was the omega dragon. There meet up was sweet...really their entire romance was sweet only with the little hiccup with Conri being clueless of shifters. A little emotional here and there with some sweet heat thrown in which make this series a joy to read. Great ending with twin babies... NICE!.

This is the newest book in the MM Shifter 'Male Order Mates' series in thr shifter friendly town around 'The Grizzly'. This time human Gabriel is using the app, after seeing so many happy couples through the app, not knowing it is for shifters. He is matched with Peter, a dragon shifter who grw up amongst bunnies. It is instalove/ fated mates steamy, but also sweet read. I liked how Peter needed to be taught what is like to be a pregnant dragon e.a.. This is a fun quick read to bring you a bit of fun.

WOW!! So Good!!

Well written story and well developed characters! You get the most out of this book if you read the series in order. They are pretty much stand alone but people do keep showing up in all of them. Conri loves his business but he is starting to feel lonely. A boyfriend would sure be nice. He overheard some of his friends talking about an AP called Male-Order Mates! Weird name! Mates? But it sounds good!

Conri is a baker and he hears the others talking about an app so he fills it out. What can it hurt, just maybe he will find someone to share his life with.
Peter is a dragon that was raised by rabbit shifters and they find him lacking. Saul, his rabbit dad encourage him to give the dating app a try.
Conri and Peter hit it off however, Peter doesn't understand why Conri doesn't want to show his bear to him.
This is so sweet. Peter and Conri are just adorable together.

[Leonie Duncan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a changeup for the Male-order mates. I loved that fate allowed Conri to still order his mate on the app and Peter is such a sweet character. He doesn't know much about being a dragon but he soon finds out all he needs to know. And Conri certainly got more than he bargained for and wouldn't have it any other way. I really wonderful story!

I love Peter and Conri's story it has sad but sweet twist that has you wanting to see want happen with each turn of the page.

Peter and Conri have a perfect connection, when they find each other it warmed my heart as they were willing to work together through their past and made it out to the other side.

The book is an excellent example of the series - sweet -- light - no angst. A quick happy read for an overcast day. Guaranteed no pain, no drama, and a happy ending with babies. Characters are simple, the storyline straightforward forward, and the world-building minimal - it is all about the feel-goods. Sex is talked around or euphemized.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Conri is a human who is lonely. He overhears some of his friends discussing the male-order app and decides to make himself an account. That is where he meets Peter who is a dragon shifter. They meet up and that leads to a happily ever after.
