Elemental Dragons #3
Giving the Dragon Water
Fate happened when they were busy making other plans.
Felicity Monroe lost her dream job. So, she headed to a secluded island where she could sip tropical drinks with umbrellas in them to escape reality. A delicious piece of dragon shifter only added to the appeal.
Unfortunately, as an Ember Witch, things were never that easy—not even a vacation.
Kai Aukai’s duty was to protect Pāhaʻohuna from humans. Of course, that involved working with the local coven. When the spell casters brought in witches from the mainland who hated each other, it complicated things. If they couldn’t get along, one had to leave.
Considering he mated Felicity, she had to stay.
Felicity’s moonlit dance brought more than the dragon shifter. Betrayal threatened to sabotage their mission. They all have to work together to save Pāhaʻohuna from human exposure. If they don’t, they’ll have to relive witch trials and dragon slayings.

5⭐️ read spice 🌶️3.5 ARC Review.
First off I wanna say thank you to author Victoria Jayne for allowing me to be one of her arc readers. She’s super kind and I’m sure she got a few laughs from some random updates from me lol
Giving the Dragon Water is the 3rd book in the series but you can totally read it this on its own. It’s a very magical book by magical I mean it’s all that’s talked about for a moment I forgot why the MFC was there even in the first place I was like oh that’s right lol overall it’s a fun read I enjoyed.
I know I said this before but I’ll continue to say it lol I’m open to all genres. Fantasy and romance are my all-time favorites so once I heard what this was about I said yes! Sign me up. It’s a fantasy romance that’s gonna keep you wanting more such as this 3rd book made me wanna read the rest of the series.
There’s drama and a lot of it, very fast-paced I’m a girl who loves her books spicy. I wouldn’t say this is like dark romance spice but it’s perfect for this book. I loved the character growth within the FMC I would recommend this to anyone who’s into fantasy even just romance readers who wouldn’t love this dragon shifter and of course get to experience Hawaii with him.
It’s my first book from Victoria Jayne but it’s not my last I’m excited to explore more of her books

This was a fun read, the author did a good job with the world building, the characters and the story itself, I mean, an ember witch, a dragon shifter on a secluded island, add in fated mates, lies, secrets and betrayal what could possibly go wrong, right?!
Overall this was a good read, I just personally found that there were certain parts/wording that pulled me away from the story. In saying that this is my own personal opinion. But if you enjoy dragon shifters, witches, exotic supernatural islands you should give it a read.

I read the two before this and while this can stand alone they add so much nice context. Each book i thought got better and this one was the best by far!! I loved the setting (I wish i could have been sprawled on a Hawaiian beach when i was reading it), i thought the characters had the best dynamic so far, i loved the characters so much on their own, and finally i loved the plot too. Maybe i was feeling this vibe after watching the Lilo and Stitch trailer one too many times but i totally need more books on this little island. Sad to see the book end but i had an absolute blast!!

Victoria delivers another 5 star read im so sad to see this world end but what a ride she has taken us on. I have loved this series from the beginning!

While Felicity and Kai were off planning their life, busy making and living their lives, fate laughed at them and stepped in and wove in its masterful plan for them.
A secluded island, sipping tropical drinks with umbrella's in them, escape reality. It sounded perfect to Felicity when she lost her dream job. But, when she meets a dragon shifter, who happened to have everything she could dream of, that just added the missing little bit to the perfect escape.
Felicity's not a regular human, though, and that complicates EVERYTHING! Being an Ember Witch has complicated things in Felicity's life, and why she thought going on vacation would be any different was beyond her.
Humans were to be kept in the dark. They didn't need to know about the Pāhaʻohuna's existence. It was up to Kai Aukai to ensure that the human's never learned about the Pāhaʻohuna and never interacted with the humans at all. Of course, that was easier said than done for Kai. It meant that he had no choice but to work with the local coven.
The local coven goes and complicates things by bringing in witches from the mainland. And of course, the local coven couldn't bring in witches they got along with. No, they had the bright idea to bring in witches they hated with a passion. And that is a serious complication. And in Kai's opinion, one or the other has to go.
But, he has mated Felicity. So, it doesn't matter who goes, no matter what she is staying. And if you are staying, you sure better get along with Kai's mate.
When Felicity performs her stunning moonlight dance, she, along with Kai, soon realize that it brings them more than just more dragon shifters. Soon, both Kai and Felicity find that betryal and sabotage threaten their mission. They both know that it's even more important that they work together in order to save the Pāhaʻohuna and ensure the human race never learns of their existence. If they fail, Felicity will have to face the witch trials again, and once again, Kai will have to face the possibility of dragon slayings.
Giving The Dragon Water is the 3rd book in the Elemental Dragons Series by Victoria Jayne. This is a paranormal fantasy romance series. It is the second book in this series that I have read and I will say that I didn't expect much out of it and I didn't really enjoy the last book I read which was book 2, Giving The Dragon Ice. After reading this book, though, I can honestly say I was presently surprised. I enjoyed this book a lot more than the last book, and I am sorry that, as of this moment, this is the last book in the series.
Giving the Dragon Water is told from a 3rd person's POV, and this person seems to be omniscient. It is also told from the POVs of Kai and Felicity. It begins just after Felicity arrives on Pāhaʻohuna Island. An island known to keep the supernatural world hidden from the human world. Now it sees that Pāhaʻohuna is struggling to maintain her magic and keep her secrets. And for reasons unknown, only an Ember Witch can help strengthen the wards and heal Pāhaʻohuna. Having met Kai, we see Felicity reconsider everything in her life and her future. But, when her estranged aunt suddenly arrives and instigates a series of stupid and very dangerous events that threaten not only the lives of the inhabitants of the island but the island herself, Felicity knows enough is enough.
The world building in this book is hands down beyond what I expected from Giving the Dragon Ice. The potential betrayal we see, the Coalition for Light group who's main goal is apparently to reveal the existence of the supernatural world to the humans but, more than that, the magic and the madness that can come with the power of being a supernatural.
The strength of the relationships, both friendships, family, found family, and romantic was believable. The was Felicity can waffle between awareness and obliviousness and can be a bit naive. Even the way she struggled with her own abilities and the way her own kind made demands of her were believable.
The character development is diverse and seems to be ethnic and colorful, and it feels like the magic is almost an afterthought and a supporting feature. Secondary characters have their opportunities to shine and have their moments in the spotlight. The character arcs, plots, and sun-plots are actually really well thought out and well plotted out, and I enjoyed reading them.
And the spice was sprinkled in, and we got passion without a lot over over the top smexy scenes. There wasn't a lot of over the top graphic language and text, which can be a nice change of pace when you read a lot of romance.
This book, above all else, is a story of secrets, lies, betray, forgiveness, power, control, family, relationships, acceptance, and love. While the basic premise is intriguing and enchanting, the digger you deep you realize that there is so much more deeper down. The romance is tantalizing; the characters are hell-bent, dead-set, and resolved.

GIVING THE DRAGON WATER is the third instalment in Victoria Jayne’s contemporary, adult ELEMENTAL DRAGONS erotic, paranormal, fantasy romance series. This is dragon Kai Aukai, and Ember witch Felicity Monroe’s story line. GIVING THE DRAGON WATER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Kai and Felicity) GIVING THE DRAGON WATER follows in the wake of Felicity Monroe’s arrival on Pāhaʻohuna island, an island of supernatural beings hidden from the human world. Pāhaʻohuna is struggling to keep their island a secret, and an Ember witch is needed to strengthen the wards. Meeting dragon shifter Kai Aukai finds our heroine reconsidering her future but the arrival of her estranged aunt precipitates a series of dangerous events that threaten the lives of the island inhabitants.
The world building focuses on a potential betrayal; the group known as the Coalition for Light whose aim it is to reveal the existence of the supernatural; and the power that comes with magic and madness.
The relationship between Kai and Felicity is one of fated mates but Felicity tends to waffle between awareness and obliviousness, often a little naïve to the point of exhaustion. Refusing to participate in the destruction of life, Felicity struggles with her abilities, and the demands of her kind. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and magical secondary and supporting characters including Office of Security Captain Makoa, Kilikilo coven witch Kiely, Felicity’s aunt Josephine; leader of the Ember witch coven Divina, and the return of dragons Gideon and his mate Ella, Declan and his mate Alisa.
GIVING THE DRAGON WATER is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and forgiveness, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is magical, intriguing and enchanting; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined, dynamic and desperate.

This was a another good entry into this series. This book focused on Felicity and life after finding out that her aunt was a crazy killer who was out to mess up her friends lives. We also meet Kai who is water dragon shifter on an island that is hidden from humans. Of course Felicity has to go to this secret island where she meets Kai and the sparks fly. I enjoyed the whole native feel to this book. It felt like the land wanted to be kept secret and all of the characters in this story had to play a part in making sure that the land was able to get what it needed. Then again they were up against something that I'm sure a lot of native people have had to deal with, and that's whether you want to control how you are revealed or to keep yourself hidden. They know that as technology and everything else advances more and more, things aren't necessarily going to be in their favor. I enjoyed getting to know this new world that we haven't had the opportunity to get to know yet. Even though old evils have returned to make things difficult. These two have to get together in order for the island to be saved. This was also a story of understanding. Sometimes we don't always do the things that we want to do but rather the things that we HAVE to do. Both of these characters are going to learn about that in this book.
The spice in this book was ok. I would give it a solid 3 out of 5. Overall, I enjoyed the story for what it was. It gave us a new locale as well as ended one storyline while beginning another one. There is another book in this series and I can definitely see where it might go based on how this one ended. I would recommend this to people who enjoy fantasy and magical creatures.

I am beyond speechless! Victoria Jayne has the most amazing world building skills and character-building skills to make any book swoon worthy! Felicity lost her job and no idea what to do now. Her best friend moved out and moved on, but she has a wild idea. Take a vacation, find yourself, learn to be your witchy self. Let your witchy freak flag fly in the one place that you can be free to be who you really are!!!
Sounds easy right? Not this time. From the second Felicity gets off the "plane" fate has a different path for her to follow. She is greeted by the delicious Kai and the outlandish Kaily. The sparks fly and the miscommunication begins. The spice level is off the charts and the banter is amazing. She is an ember witch with a great power source that they island wants. Betrayal is thick and unyielding in the realm of Shifters.
Words can’t express this series! The Spice, the suspense, the humor, the plot twists. It all comes together in a book you can’t put down. The characters are fun and very relatable. And the spice, let me
tell you Victoria is a master at writing spice between a witch and a dragon!! The crossover of characters from other series is so good. I loved seeing Divina and Josephine from her Prophecy series. A must read for anyone that loves dragon shifter romance, fated mates

Victoria Jayne delivers another delightful book in this paranormal romantasy. After losing her job in NYC, Felicity is asked to check out an island of magical creatures for her friend, Ella. Although reluctant, Felicity leaves what she knows behind and takes a very intriguing flight to an island that is shielded from humans, a place where shifters, vampires, and even witches can move around without fear. Kai, a dragon shifter, is part of the security team that guards the island from human intrusion. While threats abound, Kai and his team are kept very busy.
Cue Felicity’s arrival. And Kai is immediately smitten with the adorable witch. When it is revealed that Felicity’s powers can help keep the island off-limits to humans, the drama heats up. Felicity is apprehensive. Kai is determined to save his way of life on the hidden island. As Kai and Felicity are drawn to each other, enter Josephine, Felicity’s aunt who was expelled from their coven for very unethical uses of magic. Felicity has to overcome disdain for her aunt and work with her and the island’s coven to strengthen the protection of the island.
This is another charming tale of mated love from Victoria Jayne. The world-building is lush and descriptive. Kai and Felicity are well-developed, likable characters in this shifter romance. This is a satisfying read for lovers of the happily ever after.

I'm hooked on this series. Now I need to read book 4 to find out more about the hints dropped in this book (no spoilers). The main characters were an Ember Witch (Felicity) and a Water Dragon ('Kai). Both MCs had internal conflict to deal with, while navigating their relationship as fated mates. I was captivated by Kai's protective yet cinnamon roll sweetness over his mate. Swoon worthy words and actions by this fierce water dragon. Felicity was no pushover and knew what she wanted...mostly. Strong and sassy FMCs are my favorite and Felicity embodied this. I've read quite a few books with dragons over the years and still got some fresh perspective in this book, which I love. My only complaint is that it was so short and I was left with some questions that I hope will be answered in book 4 (not really a cliffhanger). But for being such a short read, a lot was packed into this story and I was here for it. Although it is not necessary to read the previous 2 books in the series to enjoy this one, I highly recommend that you do, so that you get a better understanding of why Felicity was in such a dilemma. Alisa and Declan (from Giving the Dragon Ice, bk 2 in the series) are still my favorite couple so far, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Good writing and some sexy times worked in.
I received an ARC of this book from the author and this is a voluntary review.

I thought this one was okay. I liked it over book 1 and Book 2. You do not need to read them in order. However, it does help in understanding who everyone is and gives you more of a connection to the side characters. I will say that I liked the ease and how quickly the main characters accepted their fate.. But really, that's about all I enjoyed. It is not a very long book. But it took me days to get through. I also feel this world is not developed fully. I have more questions leaving the book than going into the book. I am just not fully invested in this series. I do like the idea of what world she is building, but unfortunately for me, this series is just not for me.

I will always encourage people to read what makes them happy. Even if I rate a book lower, if it sounds like a book, you can get behind. Read it! I am simply here stating my views and thoughts on the book. My reviews are just that, my opinions. Happy reading, friends

Third book in the series (I read one and two, which were great 👍🏻) not really a requirement to read to enjoy this story. But I think it adds to the overall feel of the story.
Poor Felicity, losing the job she loves had her at a bit of a loose end. What better way to pick up the pieces and start again, than by going on holiday.
You would think so…..
Kai is a dragon shifter that protects the island he lives on. it’s his honour to protect and he does it fiercely. But they need to increase the protection spell, and so another witch is brought in to help….
I love the almost instant attraction the dragon side of Kai has, he wants what he wants and no one, not even Kai’s human side will stand in the way 😜
But it’s only a holiday romance? Not if fated mate rule comes into play! But can she really stay on an island that only wants you for your power!
There is also the fact another witch was brought to the island, and as it’s a family member, so we can expect rivalry and betrayal.
If you love a good shifter story with a fated mates trope, then I highly recommend this book and the series.

Let me start off by saying thank you to Victoria for allowing me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book!! It is the 3rd installment to the Giving the Dragon series, but can be read as a standalone. It took me a while to read it, though which is why I gave it a 4 star rating.
While I am open to reading most genres of books, I don’t think this one was quite up my alley and so I had to push myself to finish it for the sake of giving an honest review.
HOWEVER, I did enjoy the writing style and how casual and relatable it felt. I love Felicity’s character and the world building that took place in the book. I also enjoyed the fated mates idea, but for me the plot fell a little flat and seemed a little rushed and there wasn’t anything that pulled me into wanting to read more. It was a also little spicy, but it left me wanting more (that could just be because I’ve been reading so many super spicy books these days hahaha) so I’ll give that a 3 star rating.
That being said!!!
For someone who enjoys a fated mates trope with a dragon shifter and an ember witch and an island in peril that only they can save, I think you would enjoy really this book!!!

HOWEVER, I did enjoy the writing style and how casual and relatable it felt. I love Felicity’s character and the world building that took place in the book. I also enjoyed the fated mates idea, but for me the plot fell a little flat and seemed a little rushed and there wasn’t anything that pulled me into wanting to read more. It was a also little spicy, but it left me wanting more (that could just be because I’ve been reading so many super spicy books these days hahaha) so I’ll give that a 3 star rating.
That being said!!!

Lost her job, carrying out a research mission for a friends wedding, pressured into carrying out a protection spell on a tropical hideaway and to top it off she gets mated! Felicity is about to have an epic adventure!
Water dragons call Pahaohuna home and they are determined to save it. They call on the local witches to save it but they need an influx of power, and Felicity fits the bill. But it would seem she's not the only witch called to the island and there may be another family squabble to endure.
At this point I'm thinking these dragons are less "accidentally" mating their mates and more their dragon halves just take over when they recognise their mates. Kai and his fellow dragons take their duties of securing the island seriously however, it seems that someone is about to betray them! I really enjoyed trying to figure out who the bigger threat was; a particular Ember witch or a dissatisfied islander.

Giving the Dragon Water is the 3rd instalment in the Elemental Dragons series by Victoria
~
Book 3 takes us on Felicity’s journey who we met in both Book 1 and 2, it’s a multi POV novel with some third person perspectives along the way
~
All of Felicity’s future plans have hit a roadblock and her future seems uncertain until she goes to explore a honeymoon destination for her best-friend where Kai has been instructed to be her chaperone. Little do they both know vacation turns out to be a life changing adventure for them both!
~
I loved reading more about Felicity, she is a strong willed FMC with an absolute heart of gold and her relationship with Kai slowly transform into something incredibly heart warming.
~
The story was fast paced and was full of drama with secrets being brought into the light and little twists you didn’t see coming. The world building was amazing and I enjoyed the MCs character development!

“You are absolutely mesmerizing.”
If you’re looking for a fun dragon shifter romance with family drama, magic, and vacation vibes, I highly suggest checking out Giving the Dragon Water by Victoria Jayne! This is the first book I’ve read by Victoria Jayne and it will definitely NOT be my last! I found myself captivated in the world and very intrigued by the characters and the drama!
Kai and Felicity were both such interesting characters. Even though I did not read the first two books (where some of the characters were mentioned), Victoria did an excellent job giving enough information to keep me interested! I loved Kai and Felicity’s romance so much (I’m an absolute sucker for fated mates)!
There was the perfect amount of drama, magic, and romance throughout the entire book! I am looking forward to reading more of Victoria Jayne’s work!!!

I can always expect Victoria to give me a good, quick and spicy dragon shifter book.
"I want nothing more than to devour you. May I?"
I was so hoping Felicity would have her own story and boy were we in for a ride with Kai (pun intended). I loved the introduction of a new place, the world building had me feeling like i was on my own vacation. Their instant attraction and quickness to accept their fate was lovely. And though I'm usually one that enjoys more vengeful acts toward "villains" i did appreciate how Josephine's demise came about.
"I claimed you once, and I will do it again."
My only big question is: wtf happened with his coalition light assignment? It's like it was a huge part of the plot then boom forgotten. But maybe it'll be answered in the next segment?
We'll see! Anyway - thank you Victoria for sending me this ARC. It's always a pleasure 🖤

Set on a lush tropical paradise, a hidden island near Hawaii where all magical beings can live without fear of judgement or discovery by humans.
Enter Felicity, a witch living in Manhattan, who just so happens to be single, unemployed and being sent on a vacation to said hidden island for vacation and to also seek it out as a potential honeymoon spot for her bestie Ella.
Within her first seconds on the island we meet Kai, the dragon shifter. As head of the Island’s security, it’s his job to make sure no breeches happen, but now it’s to ensure Felicity’s safety.
This was a fun read, but there were certain points that had me scratching my head. Schmexy time? Oh boy. There are parts that I found took away from the story, and made me cringe.
Honorable mention: “You yeeted my best friend off a cliff.” That had me laughing.

Book 3 in the "Elemental Dragons" series!
First I wanna say that I've been enjoying this series and everything regarding to this world. Different kinds of shifters (dragons are my favorites), witches, magic, the characters in each book, the drama, the spice and everything overall has been amazing.
But for some reason there was just something missing for me with this one. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, because I did!...but not the way I've enjoyed the other two books. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood for the story🤷🏻♀️
But besides that I can say that it was enjoyable, fast-paced and I liked the FMC Felicity as well as other aspects of the story like the worldbuilding or the location of the story and others.
I definitely want to give this one another chance so maybe once i'm in the right mood I'll give it another try.
If you want something with:
💧fated mates
💧 betrayal
💧set on an secluded island

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Review~~~~~~~~~~
I have always loved shifter romances and this 1 was great. Felicity has lost everything except her friends but when she is asked to do a favor for one friend little does she know fate has a whole new path for her. I love dragon shifters, and I absolutely love Kai’s dragon. He is just so full of life and energy and hard not to fall in love with. This story is about choices and the paths that are taken, to trust fate or to trust your own judgement. The characters in this series are so intriguing and inviting, there who keeps me turning the pages to find out what they will do next. I can't wait for more in this series and I have to say that I highly recommend books by Victoria Jayne.

𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 is the 3rd and final book in the Elemental Dragons series by Victoria Jayne, featuring another exciting fated mates romance for Felicity and Kai. After all the chaos caused by her aunt, Felicity takes Ellas advice and heads out on vacation on a secret island for non humans. With special permission, the young witch, wasn’t prepared for what she found… An island in need of her help, and alluring dragon shifter that she can’t resist! What could possibly go wrong?! I enjoyed the imagery, the Felicity and Kai’s connection, and the twists and turns of the drama. It was topped off with a great epilogue, which I always appreciate!

If you have not read the below, they are part of this series. If you like reading the series in order you should grab those books(s) first:
Giving The Dragon Fire (Elemental Dragons #1)
Giving the Dragon Ice (Elemental Dragons #2)
This is Felicity and Kai’s story. She is a Ember witch that was brought to the island to strengthen the wards to protect them from the human world. Kai is a dragon shifter that is her fated mate. Lots of betrayal in this story that surrounds this couple. They have to journey through family, lies, and secrets to get to the truth and hope in the end everything is protected. That friends and family don’t lose lives and powers to that can never come back.
I recommend this book.

Do you like dragon shifters? YES
Do you like witches? YES
Do you like fated mates? ABSOLUTELY
Then you need this book. A quiet vacation turns into saving a whole secret island for the supernatural while also trying not to be completely obsessed with your fated mate. Throw in some family/ coven drama, too. I was so absorbed in the book that I couldn't put it down. I've read books with dragon shifters before, but Kai was my first water dragon shifter. And for a witch, Felicity was very down to earth and, apart from her magic, was pretty normal and just wanted to enjoy her vacation in peace with her gorgeous mate and who could blame her.
This was the first book I've read by Victoria, but it definitely won't be my last.

This is the third book in Victoria Jayne's Elemental Dragons Series. A fairly quick read with some spice and suspense elements to it. After losing her job, Felicity agrees to visit the hidden island of Pāha'ohuna. As she arrives, she is met by the head witch of the island and a stunning dragon from the security detail, wanting her assistance in protecting the island from humans. I enjoyed Kai's instant protectiveness over Felicity. The story had a wonderful amount of suspense and some strong emotional moments. I enjoyed reading the struggle between Kai and his dragon when it came to Felicity. I look forward to reading more from Victoria Jayne.

This story follows Felicity, a witch, and Kai, a dragon shifter, and their journey to protect Kai's home island of Pāhaʻohuna from being discovered by humans. If you're a fan of elemental magic, fated mates, and exciting plot twists - this one is for you.
I enjoy how easy the writing is to read and follow. There's a little bit of spice, but not so much that it detracts from the story. The story felt a little rushed at times, and the dialogue can sometimes be robotic. Overall this is a fun, cute series and worth a read.

My favorite of the series so far!!
I loved Felicity and Kai! I know fate can be something the characters in this world like to argue with, but these two are happy to accept and it was a breath of fresh air!
Kai is a precious nugget and I absolutely adore him! Felicity is as tenacious as ever, and I love getting to do deeper dive into who she is.
Adding to this, the plot thickens in this book! Not only do we get some character closure, but we have a mystery to solve and a secret society to discover! This book comes with the promise of more and I'm so excited!
Overall: highly recommend

This is a good look into the paranormal. The characters are fated mates, but are from different life styles.
Felicity is a witch and is powerful, she is sent to the Island to protect it. She is drawn into the easy lifestyle of the people and she meets her mate a water dragon.
Kai is a water dragon and works as a cop on the island, when he is asked to pick up a visitor from the airport and take to the hotel, he meets his fated mate and is freaked out.
Together with a cast of witches, other water persons, and the threat of danger from an unknown source, they fall in love, mate, and become a powerful team that will protect their island no matter what.

Water dragons and witches and a hidden island, that humans are determined to find. Felicity goes to the island of Pahaohuna for a vacation, she is an ember witch, just got laid off and not sure what to do with herself. She rides a dragon, meets more supernaturals, and falls for a water dragon named Kai. Kai and the witches of the island need help to make sure the island stays hidden . There is so much suspicion, betrayal of trust, lust, love and fear it keeps you reading to the end. Its definitely worth the read. I can't wait for the next in the series.

OH WOW this was another great story. It was a steamy page turner and the suspense was captivating for Kai and Falicity story was intense journey into the supernatural realm. Their love was forbidden in a magical moment. They couldn’t fight the temptation any longer as the physical attraction and the chemistry between them was so sexual and strong of passion. I definitely recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion. Trina Jones

I was so happy to return to this world and play with the dragons again. Wait. That didn't sound quite right. But you know what I mean!
A water dragon inexorably drawn to a novice witch. A hidden island in danger of being found. Can the witch and the dragon work together to save the island from discovery? And why is the island suddenly in danger? What changed? To find out all those answers, you'll need to read the book.
A romantic shifter story infused with humor, romance, mystery, and a bit of danger, just for spice.
