Hot Dragons!

I was gifted this book by the Author Jessie Donovan for an honest review.

Evie has achieved her goal, she has won the enigmatic Bram, he wants to make her his mate and his dragon, well you better nor tell him any different!

But they may have a traitor among the clan, little Murray has been kidnapped and they don't know if it was his biological father Neil, or if Simon the leader of one of the more powerful Dragon Hunters has him.

Now the two dragon clans have joined forces and Finn the leader of the other clan has called in his Protectors to aid in the search for Murray. Finn also seems to be good for Arabella, she does not fear him and that gives Bram hope for her.

Bram takes flight to a secret location to keep Evie safe, but his Dragon is being stubborn, he won't let Bram take over again. Will Evie be able to bring him back, so he can go to his clan at a time when they need their leader?

This story is getting better and better, I can't wait for the next book.

I have loved the serials in this series up until now, but this instalment blows them all out of the water. Donovan combines larger than life descriptions with an unforgettable storyline to create something that you won’t be able to put down. The world that Donovan has been creating for us is really come together in this one. The different elements of the story and of this fantastically magical world are really starting to combine into an intricate whole. This action packed instalment kept me on the edge of my seat.

I love the contrast between Bram’s human and dragon halves. It brings what being a dragon means out into the forefront of the story. His fight with himself and the assorted approaches that we see not only develops him as an individual or dragon-shifters as a group, but it also adds greatly to the plot. I also felt for Evie in this instalment. She’s walking such a fine line, especially now that emotions are on the line, as well as lives. I enjoyed how these two have come together as a cohesive couple, working towards the same goal, even if they have a few snafus along the way.

This story may be short, but it definitely packs a punch. It is something that all lovers of paranormal romance need to read. That said, the series does need to be read in order, & if you don’t like cliffhangers, I’d suggest waiting for part 4 to be released before starting. I know I can’t wait for it after that remarkable ending.

Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Book 3 picks up with Bram talking to one of his protectors, Kai. They are discussing Evie’s theory about Neil, Murray’s father being in with the hunters. Kai recalls that Neil’s exgirlfriend has been making a lot of trips off the clan lands lately and maybe she is the traitor. They are pretty sure there is one on the inside. In the meantime Melanie and Samira are getting Evie ready for the party. They are having a conversation about Bram and what has been going on with the hunters. We also find out that Ara is going to the party and it’s the first time in at least a decade that she has been out in public to a party. Bram has asked her to talk to Finn about security and how they will communicate securely with the other clan. Ara meets Finn and finds that she does feel the panic that normally comes from talking to dragonmen. They go off and have a discussion and Ara even tolerates Finn’s touch (hmmm…possible mates?)
Evie shows up outside the party and Samira goes to get Bram so he and Evie can walk into the party together. Bram wants to show that she is his, but is still denying that she is his true mate…his dragon is being mysterious about the whole thing and will not tell him if this is possible (I can’t wait till the dragon finally speaks on the subject, it’s been so mysterious).
At the party things are pretty hot between Evie and Bram and Finn is busy trying to make Bram jealous. So Bram introduces Finn to the group and tells them his plans for an alliance. Then Finn gives his speech and ends by offering to dance with anyone who wants to dance with him (that's a funny speech...). As he goes to the dance floor he is flooded with dragonwomen and the dancing commences. Meanwhile Bram goes back to Evie and they are talking and yup, Bram's phone rings and the news is bad. Murray (Cait's little dragon boy) has been abducted by the hunters. The protector he was staying with has been drugged and they can't wake him up. Bram sends Evie to stay with Melanie and Tristan and Liam and Samira for safety while he goes to investigate. He also involves Finn at Finn's request. As they are out investigating they find tracks from 3 people. Finn calls for back up from his clan and Bram goes to find out if they've gotten any useful information out of the hunter. This is where it really gets fun. It turns out that the hunters are planning on taking Evie and Bram’s dragon is having fits and is trying to take over. Bram goes directly to Evie and tells them he is taking her to his secret safe place. Melanie lets her take her laptop & Bram tells Evie he is flying her there (dragon air – just kidding, his dragon takes her in a basket and flies her to a cave in a mountain). Bram is barely hanging on to control because his dragon is taking over and insists on claiming Evie and having lots of hot dragon sex with her. He tells Bram she is going to carry their child. Bram is trying to figure out what his dragon knows and then the dragon takes over and the story ends with the dragon controlling the human body and having hot, hot sex with Evie. We are left with Evie trying to figure out how to get Bram back in control as his clan needs him. OMG, can’t wait for the next book to come out in Jan.

I am a part of Ms Donovan ARC team, but even if I wasn't I would ABSOLUTELY love her Dragon Series. Jessie Donovan is one AWESOME, CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE writer one that if you have not read one of her books you are missing GREAT ENTERTAINMENT. Now for a teaser that will wheel you in make you want to read all of Ms.Donovan books. Book 3 of Seducing the Dragon starts with Bram discussing Clan business with Kai the head protectors. Bram wants to share Evie’s subjection of another dragon who was banish from the Clan Neil Westhaven because of his treatment of the human that was in trusted to him, that he slowly killed “Caitriona Belmont who is the mother of Neil son Murray with dragon-shifter hormones.”they think this could have happened but they have no proof. Now they are unsure if Neil is in alliance with the Dragon hunters as they discuss this issue Kai recalls that Neil had a exgirlfriend dragon who is still a member of the Clan and she has been making a lot of trips off the clan lands lately and maybe she should be watch because there is a good chance she is the traitor. They have decided that there is a traitor on the inside. After arranging things to their satisfaction Bram informs Kai that he wants Nikki to guard Evie at the dinner but Kai volunteers to do the job instead because he is also needed at the dinner so that Finlay Steward doesn't take offense of his absence as he is head protector of the Clan. Now Evie was waiting for Melanie to question her while Melanie and Samira are dressing Evie for the dinner party of course Melanie being blunt as usual ask Evie what is going on between her and Bram as he can't take his eyes off of Evie. Evie was debating how much to say but she decides to tell the two human women because she has never had girlfriends, but Mel put her hands on hips and said did you trick him, Evie first impulse was to snap but instead she reminds Melanie of her own time with Trisan and how no one trusted her, Melanie just wanted to protect Bram as her leader, Evie said leader yes but do you know Bram hisself not just the leader!

Beautiful, sassy human Evie, inspector with Department of Dragon Affairs, sent to investigate the death, is being targeted by ruthless dragon hunters. Can Evie find refuge with Bram and Clan Stonefire! Will Bram be able to control his growing attraction to Evie and keep a reign on his dragon?

Seducing the Dragon: Part Three (A BBW / Dragon-shifter Paranormal Romance by Jessie Donovan Reviewed by Pamela Talley

Oh boy...so much happens in part three and so very HOT! Bram and Evie have announced to the clan gathering that they are to be mated. Bram's dragon is beside himself with the need to make Evie theirs. Bram introduced Finlay Stewart, the clan leader of the Lochguard Clan, to Arabella McLeod and the clan. Arabella and Finn got along much to Bram's surprise. The clan's reaction to the Scottish leader was mixed.
During the gathering Bram receives information that causes the Protectors of the clan to mobilize, someone has been kidnapped. Information has been gotten from a captive hunter that their is a plan to kidnap Evie. There is a traitor in the clan. It is necessary for Bram to move. Evie to a safe "house", a place away from the Stonefire clan. Bram's dragon is almost out of control. He wants to put his scent mark on her so no male will go near her. If Bram can't get control back. Will Evie be able too help Bram get back control...looks like it's up to her. Very steamy end to Part Three. Can't wait foot Part Four.

Seducing the Dragon Three made me Pre-order four. I love this series. The characters are sharp, witty and the tension and conflicts are absorbing, and the relationships hot. Evie has Bram committed to protecting her in exchange for what she can provide from her background in Dragon Shifter Human Agencies. The Dragon Hunters who threaten the dragons threaten agency personnel as well.

But then there is a lot more than protection and information exchange going on. Bram the man and dragon can't resist Evie any more than she can resist him. What was going to be a sacrifice is turning quite the other direction.

Their relationship is not smooth, Bram's dragon knows more than he will reveal to Bram about why Evie is a good choice for him. A new leader of another Dragon Clan wants to become an ally. Can he be trusted? The dragon hunters attack and steal one of Bram's clan. And word comes that Evie is in even more danger of capture.

We are introduced to more characters that capture our hearts and interest. I got this book from preorder at 1 am and had to download and read immediately. Waiting for the next installment. Each book is reasonably priced and more than worth it.

Seducing the Dragon Part 3 continues Evie and Bram's story. I received an early copy from the author, Jessie Donovan and I have to say I am enjoying this dragon story. I love dragons and the Stonefire dragon clan have made for great reading. I tend to cover my eyes sometimes when the sex scenes get too hot for my eyeballs, but this story stands up as a great mystery even when I peek through my fingers during the sex scenes. Part three also allows us to see a bit more of Finn, Bram's counterpart from another clan who is funny and sounds quite good looking. Evie gets to hold her own in this story as it seems the dragon hunters or other parties may be closing in on finding Evie and Bram will do what he can to protect her. There is another attack on the Stonefire clan and it takes place in a most heinous fashion. We get to see more of our favorite characters from previous books and see how Evie starts to fit in with other members of the clan. I do look forward to the next books in this series.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***Received the ebook from the author from an honest review, but definitely adding this to my library :)

I definitely like this cover better than Part Two, but Part One is still my favorite :)

As always things you probably need to know, this is a serial novella series, and it is not complete yet. These must be read in order or you will be lost on what is happening.

This story was over way too fast!! There is definitely plenty of drama and action going on. I really love Evie and her personality. Bram and his dragon definitely make me chuckle. And Finn is also funny especially when he is pushing Bram’s buttons :)

Jessie is amazing with words. I really love this series even though waiting for the next episode kills me :) She is the first author for me that does serials expertly :)

I highly recommend the entire series to any dragon shifter lovers!! This series rocks!!

SEDUCING THE DRAGON, PART 3

OMW I just want to scream when I get to the end of one of the stories in this series....I want to keep reading. Another fantastic book. Once again I loved the concept and the storyline and I just loved the characters. While the most of the clan are at the ceremony little Murray gets kidnapped. Bram and his team go into high alert and he sends Evie to stay with friends to keep her safe. She thinks she's figured out why they want him. Bram goes a little crazy when he finds out they want Evie and plan to kidnap her as well. So Bram decides to move hos mate out of harms way and seclude her in a spot no one else knows about. But the only when they get there his dragon goes into over dominant and possessive mode and won't let Bram side back.

This story is a short read and part of a series and it needs to read in order. I really loved it and it's definately worth reading. I highly recommend it!

With an attack on the clan, Evie and Bram will have to work together to stop the dragon hunters and to control Bram’s dragon in this thrilling installment of the Seducing the Dragon serial.

With a fast pace and smooth flowing plot this romance keeps readers on their toes with suspense and excitement as the hunters attack and ruins their special dinner honoring Finn. There is lots of excitement in the well written scenes as everyone scrambles to protect the clan and with Evie’s help they may just be able to do so, but Bram’s dragon is having fits which leads to some white hot sex. There is never a dull moment with everything that is happening and of course the story ends with a cliffhanger but this time right at an inappropriate moment (LOL) and just to spice things up even more, Bram’s dragon is adding a lot of intrigue to the story and keeping secrets. Needless to say I can’t wait to read the conclusion to this very enthralling serial.

Another exciting installment in the Seducing the Dragon serial. In this episode, we get more mystery, a kidnapping, and the dragon clan is facing the idea that they might harbor a traitor. There’s also a hint of an upcoming romance for Ara, which I’m looking forward too.

I enjoyed the mystery of part three and also revisiting with prior characters. I wonder, though, if there are too many characters since I’m starting to have trouble keeping them straight, which yanks me out of the story.

Bram and Evie are becoming closer and beginning to trust each other more. They’re so right for each other, and I think they’re coming to understand this too, although there are still a few barriers standing in the way of their future.

An enjoyable way to while away some spare time.

OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!!
i have said many times that this Lady can't make her books any better and each time
she proves me wrong....and damn it i am so freaking glad about it.
This books is beyond awesome!
The connection between bram and evie grows more and more and the emotions between them and the emotions towards the clan and from the clan are overwelming.
The development of the story is thrilling and with hot sex scenes and of course lots
of smart a@@ed comments by our evie!
an amazing work that once again as its usuall with our beloved writer Jessie donovan it leaves us hanging and wanting for more.
If you haven't read this series then you are definetely missing out!

I received an ARC of this from the author. I loved the first series in this world (sacrificed to the dragon) but I feel this latest series of installments (seducing the dragon) are much better written and the characters more fleshed out... I feel Ms. Donovan is settling into her dragon world with this series and the combo of mystery and romance is well balanced. Bram and Evie make a great couple and balance each other well... And of course the love scenes are scorching! (pardon the pun).

My real issue is that I wish Ms. Donovan would release the whole story complete instead of these short novellas as the timing between installments can be frustrating and is the only drawback in this latest adventure with the Stonefire dragon clan!

Seducing the dragon book 2 in series.
Bram is the stonefire clan leader who has huge responsibility of looking after his whole clan, trying to make an alliance with the lochguard clan and keep dragon hunter from killing clan members.
Evie is a DDA agent that comes to check on Mel after having her twins and to investigate Cait death that happen through childbirth.
Evie is in danger and on a mission to seduce Bram not best thought out plan but funny reading her follow it through.
Love that Bram and his dragon don't seem to agree at all especially when it comes to Evie.
Evie is not instantly attracted to Bram and sparks fly whenever there together.
Loved story and finding out more about clan and their history.
Great ending and HEA.

This story keep getting better what secret is Bram dragon keep them from him. Will Bram be able to keep his dragon under control or lose control completely to his Dragon. Then the plot thickens when a child is kidnapped and Bram has to trust Finn to help out his clan I'm still not sure about the alliance between Finn the lochguard clan leader so far he seems to be harmless and really wanting to help but he also like to push Bram button. He also seems to be interested in Arabella so I'm wondering if we may have a new love story in the works. The fourth book can't get here fast enough I can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

This story is getting hotter and hotter and I couldn't wait to read this third part. I didn't want this book to end and was sad when it did. Bram and Evie are getting closer and closer and they finally let the others know that they are to be mated, but before that happens tragedy strikes and it is put on hold, but not without Bram's dragon claiming Evie. Their is only one more part left in this arc, but luckily we only have to wait till next month to get to the ending. Hopefully all questions will be answered, such as is Evie Bram's true mate and what is Bram's dragon hiding about Evie?

I loved this latest instalment in Bram & Evie's story! Poor Murray has been Kidnapped and I hope they get him back soon. Evie has raised some suspicions about what the Dragon Hunters are up to long term and seems to have a lot of information that can help the clan. I also have a suspicion about her and Bram that I hope gets confirmed in the next instalment as it was hinted at towards the end of this one. I'm also curious about whether Kai will get a book as something was hinted about him knowing who his mate was but resisting her, there also seems to be hope for Arabella in this instalment so I hope she gets a story too!

And the storm has started
Bram and Evie are really starting to hit it off in a good way. We also have a new player in the book, Finlay (Finn) Stewart the Lochgaurd Clan Leader. With a possible alliance between the two clans on the horizon. More information is trying to be gotten from the dragon hunter the clan has in there custody. And Bram’s dragon is getting very possessive of Evie but won’t tell Bram why. Lots of other stuff happens and you’ll just have to read the book to find it out. Well written and extremely engaging and entertaining. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I just love Jessie's books. I now cannot wait until part 4 comes out in January. This part leaves off with a cliff hanger that keeps you interested so you can't wait until you read the next part.

The story is about a Department of Dragon Affairs (DDA)agent (Evie) that goes to clan Stonefire for protection from the dragon hunters that are threatening her. Bram is the leader of Stonefire and agrees to take Evie as his mate but in turn puts her into more danger.

If you love a good romance and especially paranormal romance then I would read these books. This book keeps you hanging and not wanting to put it down.

Thank you Jessie for the wonderful book and keep them coming.

The ceremony to welcome Finn is disrupted and the mystery has begun with a missing baby Murray and the suspects may be traitors inside Stonefire. What's a dragon clan leader to do when all he wants to do is get to know his new human mate? Whisk her away to a secret location and have his way with her! In the meantime, the dragon hunters are still lurking about at Stonefire to snare Evie. Can Bram, Tristan, Nikki, Kai and a few eager human women find Murray and reunite him with the clan? Can Bram save Murray, Evie and his clan? Or will his dragon take control and sacrifice one? Or will Evie save Bram from the brink? On my Were Scale of Hotness, 3 stars.

The best part about these books are how well the Dragon and the man are connected, "he put up his hands in surrender. “Fine, fine . My dragon said you are worthy of being a clan leader’s mate. You think of our needs even if it means toning down your feisty personality. Therefore, we should eff you later until you scream, as a reward.” Seeing Bram not as tense and actually at ease around his woman was entertaining, even if he was generally always horny, “my dragon pretty much controls my ***k, lass.”He brushed his lips gently against hers. “And believe me, you haven’t seen anything yet. He’s been holding back.” I can't wait to read part four I'm excited to see how things work out.

Wow! This episode was truly amazing!
Bram's dragon has been acting like Evie is is true mate, but that's impossible, or is it? When a child is taken, everyone goes on high alert and Bram's dragon takes control of Evie's safety. Once he has he alone, Bram's loses total control to his dragon and takes care of Evie properly several times. As a side note, During the gathering, sparks were flying, and it seems like Finn and Arabella may have their own story somewhere down the line.

The danger Evie is in has increased. Bram must protect her and his clan.

Wow this story is just keeping me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down once I started and I didn't want to finish. The ending can't come soon enough while at the same time I don't want it to end. The suspense is intense and has left butterfly's dancing in my stomach to know how this is all going to end.

In the third part of Evie and Bram's story, characters continue to develop in interesting ways. Evie and Bram draw closer to each other, and Bram's dragon tells something about Evie that is exciting but seems too good to be true. Other things are happening with the Stonefire dragons, including kidnapping, and a new love story may be brewing. I hope you'll join us in Jessie's exciting dragon world!
