Treasure Lane Dragons #2
Billionaire Dragon's Mate
Can a billionaire bad boy dragon change his ways and put it all on the line for one curvy, sassy redhead?
Cillian Greenmeadow is a fixer, the guy who makes problems disappear in a puff of smoke. Confident, charming and a real bad boy at heart, right down to the tattoos, everything seems to come easy to the Alpha dragon. Only when he meets a sexy, stubborn Italian mob princess does Cillian feel that he might have found a problem he just can't fix. Worse yet, he may not want to. Wouldn't getting in trouble with her be a lot more fun?
Ruby Accardo's done everything right until all her life. Now, she's committed to doing everything wrong and it doesn't take too long until it catches up with her. When a particular dragon shows up to get her out of her bind, all bets are off. Stuck between an offer she can't refuse and a werewolf biker that won't take no for an answer, Ruby needs to decide between being good and being bad far faster than she'd intended to.
But if the right choice includes a hard, devilish billionaire dragon, maybe it won't be so bad?
Add in a foe with a grudge and a marriage that just has to happen and you're left with a lot of fire and no one to put it out...
Warning: Billionaire Dragon's Mate is a standalone novel with no cliffhangers and a bad boy dragon you just can't get enough of. Be aware that there's plenty of sexy, steamy heat and bloodcurling action in this book and it is meant for mature audiences!

Alpha Dragons who find their mates plus a little conflict between alphas along the way. What trouble do these hot and sexy men find themselves in?
A quick read but an enjoyable one.
If you like shifter tales you will like this one.

this is about Cillian and he is trying to build his hoard back up but he is having to work which is unheard of in the dragon world, he is sent to find the daughter Ruby of a mob leader. Ruby has been taken by the leader of a bike club who is also a wolf shifter and he's decided to marry her willing or not, but when Cillian goes into rescue her he realises she is his true mate. this is a great mixture of the shifters with the adventure, strength and emotions you expect from these stories, with the humour you can't help but love

In this story our dragon shifter hero is pretty nontraditional, while still being a true dragon.In a contrast to normal ideas the dragon saves the girl from a bad biker-werewolf. The bad guy doesn't give up easily, and the dragon hero has to deal with disloyalty in his own family, but it all comes out all right. There are fights between brothers and dragon-werewolf battles, but the lady is the one who comes up with the solution.

Really enjoyable!
This series has everything you want including dragons with attitude, shifters with attitude, and even mobsters with attitude! There's good action, a lot of laughs, and a woman who decides she's had enough of men and their attitudes. At times you might want to slap people upside the head for doing something stupid, but really, haven't we all been there? A good story and I smiled a lot, just what I needed.

These Dragon shifters are crazier and crazier with every book I read and I can't get enough of them. I really enjoyed this book and I'm on to the next.

Another good read
Must say Ruby knows how to get into trouble, and run away. I think she and Cillian make a great pair.

This story features Cillian Greenmeadow a charismatic, intelligent, buffed, green dragon shifter who fixes problems for a substantial fee; Ruby a sexy, audacious, red headed beauty, doctor, and the daughter of Antonio Accardo head of the largest mob family in Chicago.

In a world of shifter romance the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. {I received an arc for an honest review}. Without reservations I highly recommend this book and of course the series.

What's not to love--a bad boy dragon and a mob princess needing a little bit of rescue? This was a very enjoyable read and I could not put it down. Ruby has left is a bit late in life to rebel against her mob boss father, even though he's given her the means to be independent by putting her through medical school. No, she has to take up with what she thought was a bad boy werewolf, head of a motorcycle club, i.e., a gang. When things don't go as she hoped, she finds that she can't get away. That's when Cillian is contracted to find her.
The reason that Cillian works at all is to try and keep afloat because his ancestors hadn't done a very good job of increasing their dragon hoard. In fact, they were fantastically good at depleting it. And guarding a growing hoard is the most important thing to a dragon, next to finding a mate and having an heir.
When Cillian proposes a faux marriage to prevent a shifter gang/mob war in Chicago, Ruby is not amused, and Cillian is not being honest about his motives. And his motives are pure--pure love and pure lust. He has a short amount of time to convince Ruby that a happily ever after with a dragon is exactly what she needs. It's a fabulous setup for a hot and steamy romance, that is thrilling and satisfying all the way to the end. There isn't a dull moment anywhere in this story. It is well written, with engaging and thoughtful characters, and the story progression is spot on.

Independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock. I was gifted my copy of this book.
Cillian is sent to retrieve a mobster's daughter, Ruby. But Cillian might just have bitten off more than he can chew with the fiery redhead. But the local Alpha has taken a shine to Ruby, and Cillain must keep her safe, since she is his mate, not the wolf's.
Book two in the series, and I am reading them out of order. I read books one and three already, they can be read as stand alones.
Cillian is somewhat different to the other dragons in that he works for a living. Most of these dragons don't. Cillain's brothers take great offence in that! Ruby, being the daughter of a mob boss has seen many things, but dragons are not one of them.
It says its 255 pages on Amazon, but it doesn't feel that long. Its a speedy, not too complicated read, that's has some sexy parts, some danger(that wolf is a bit nutty!) some cute parts and some witty ones. Ruby, between a wolf and a dragon, almost threatening to bash their heads together if they didn't stop had me laughing out loud!!
No better, but no worse than books one and three, so
4 solid stars

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the second book in the Treasure Lane Dragons series and it is about Cillian Greenmeadow and Ruby Accardo. Cillian has family issues, especially with his hoarde. (Although you don’t need to read the first book to love this one, if you DID, you will know what I’m talking about. No spoilers and no worries about diving into this story as ot stands alone.) Ruby is the daughter of a “connected” family from Chicago who has gotten herself into a bit of a mess with a shifter biker gang and it is Cillian to the rescue.
I love Cillian and watching him struggle to mark his place as head of the Greenmeadow family was heartwarming for me. Don’t get me wrong, this big guy is no wimp. He, too, is gorgeous, big and a magnificent dragon. And I did so enjoy his growing feelings for Ruby and hers for him. The part of the book that made me smile was “seeing” Ruby fly thru the air on her Dragon. Very sweet side to this Alpha Dragon. I loved the story.

Second book in the Treasure Lane Series and features Cillian Greenmeadow a member of the Dragon Council from book 1 and Chicago mob princess, Ruby. Cillian's family is going broke, not human broke but dragon broke, so he becomes a fixer so that he can put money back into the families coffers. When he takes on a job to bring Ruby back to her family he finds her hanging out with a wolf gang whose Alpha won't let her leave and decides she will be his mate. Cillian gets her out and to protect her he agrees to marry her. What no one knows is that she is his true mate and he will do what ever to have her. This couple tries to get to know each other but soon learn that the wolves are not their only enemies and they must put everything on the line if they want to be together. This is a standalone with a ongoing storyline, but has a HEA. The next book in the series will be released soon and I can't wait to read it.

Cillian is on a mission to find a Mob Princess and rescue her from a big bad wolf. One thing he did he did not count on was that he's not so sure he can turn her over to her family. That would cause problems with his client coming after him. He has his on problems when it come to his half empty hoard. His younger brother thinks it will just fall into his lap like in the old days. With that kind of thinking is what has them in this mess in the first place.
Ruby wants to have adventures and live life to the fullest. Her father wants her to do what he wants her to do. He will not let her make her own decisions and she's tired of him controlling her life. So, she decided to rebel (at a late age in life) find a bad boy just to make her father mad. Well it made her father mad and now she's been kidnapped by bikers and there's no way to escape after several attempts that failed.

Chicago’s ruling family the Accardo’s have a problem and need Cillian to fix. Antonio��s daughter Ruby has found herself in a bit of a bind with the leader of a biker club made up of wild wolf shifters. Ruby needs out and fast. Antonio wants her home. Cillian sees this as a win, win for him. Get the girl and get his gold. One problem is Cillian did not plan on falling for the mob bosses daughter. This is a witty, sexy and hot steamy story to the series. A few twists and turns but ultimately the Dragon gets his mate.

For a greenwood dragon, finding remedies for problems is thier thing, when he finds the missing woman though he finds he doesnt want to take her back to her father....
Being a problem solver Cillian comes up with new remedy....will she agree with his new idea?
They quickly develop a caring relationship, with some romance and danger thrown in to the plot, you will find this an enjoyable read.
Bring on book 3 of the series.

Good, fun, quick read. I love these books. Just a nice break from reality without spending the day on one book. Enough action and story to make it worthwhile, and steamy love too. The dragons are really something I am liking. Love the decription of them. Cillian is a hot dragon who finds his sassy mate in mob princess Ruby. I like her spunk.

This is book 2 of the Treasure Lane Dragons series and I loved this one more than book 1. I loved hearing Ruby and Cillian's story and really would like to have a dragon of my own!! I will be anxiously waiting for book 3 to come out and jump on it as soon as I can! Anya Nowlan has defiantly become an author to watch for me.

Dragon Shifter - 2nd book in series.
I liked the first book, but this one - not so much. The story is okay, but not convincing. The bikers were just plain dumb...and the dragon...well, he wasn't very well filled out as a character. Actually, none of the characters were. So the book really fell flat.

This story was alright. I wanted more action between the sheets with Ruby and Cillian. The storyline was alright. I have read other stories by Nowlan and this one isn't my favorite, I still finished it. So if you like Paranormal Stories and Dragons give it a try. Happy Reading!!

It was pretty good. Not great. Happy the dragon is employed! It was a fun read; one dimensional... For me, the sex parts were very drawn out. But that's just my opinion. It may be perfect for you.

Predictable
Story was well paced and Rose is a spoiled mob daughter who needs rescuing from her current loser boyfriend. Cillian is hired to rescue her, as he is working to restore his family's hoard. Characters are not complex.

Great story
Enjoyed the storyline. It was engaging and brought together fated mates. The only issue is a few punctuation issues that need to be corrected. I recommend this book.
