That is, until his boss books him in for mandatory leave at a fancy-pants Christmas resort.

But when Garrett meets Georgia, his misgivings fly out the window when he realizes that she’s his one true mate. Suddenly, he finds himself taking care of the family he never thought he’d have, and opening his heart to them in a way he never thought he could. When a mysterious danger threatens them all at the resort, Garrett knows he’ll do anything to protect his newfound mate and her child… A Dragon for Christmas is a standalone dragon shifter romance with a sexy hero, a brave single mother heroine, a cute kid, and an adorable dog, packed full of Christmas cheer and sizzling action. HEA guaranteed!
Zoe Chant loves writing paranormal romance. Over a cup of tea (or something stronger) she whips up sexy tales of hunky heroes and adventurous heroines to tantalize and satisfy her readers. Sizzling hot romance, no cliffhangers!
While series should ideally be read in order, all of Zoe’s books are standalones and can be read in any order. This includes books within series.
This is an OK dragon shifter romance, with a likeable couple. They fall in instalove, as is typical for shifter romances -- but since she wasn't a shifter, it seemed more like instalust on her part.
My main problem with the story is that I wanted more information on what happened to the bad guy (and the shifters that worked for him) after he was caught. That wasn't necessary to the story, but it would have satisfied my curiosity.
One problem I have with all of Zoe Chant's series is that there is so long between books. Lots of times I have to go back and reread some of the earlier books in a series, simply because it has been so long that I don't remember all the characters. That is frustrating. I know Zoe Chant is actually a group of authors, and one person writes all the books in a series -- but I wish the books in a series could be published closer together.
My rating system is below. 1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it. 2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws. 3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating. 4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one. 5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
Garrett Kolev, a member of the Shifter Patrol Corps who didn't know when to take some downtime. So his boss forced him to take a few days off for the holidays. His boss even booked him a chalet in the mountains, he wasn't happy and neither was his inner Dragon but they did what they were told.
Georgia Clakson, a single mom who wanted to give her nine-year-old son Logan a Christmas to remember. Her best-friend Emilia along, the latter's husband Rowan and the rest of the town made sure that she was able to take a vacation. Her family of three found themselves in a chalet in the mountains.
She never expected to meet a handsome stranger, one that rocked her world. And vice versa. Her mistakenly going to Garrett's chalet on her first was a delightful treat for them both. There was a connection between the family of three and the lonely man. What neither one of them knew at the time was that they were fated to meet.
Turned out she was his mate, he assumed she didn't know about shifters nor the way their bond worked but thanks to her best-friend Emilia's story about how she met her husband. Let's just say that she knew that he was her one true mate and that she was his.
There was something wrong at the resort, he felt it. He was right especially when he and Georgia got an unexpected visit from a woman named Ilara Warren. She told them a story that had them all working to expose the resort owner.
It was wonderful to catch up with Rowan and Emilia (A GRIFFIN FOR CHRISTMAS). And meet new characters. Loved how close Garrett, Georgia, Rowan and Emilia all became. Can't wait for what comes next!
A DRAGON FOR CHRISTMAS is the second book in Zoe Chant's SHIFTERS FOR CHRISTMAS series. It was quick, beautiful, enthralling and a great read. Magnificent job by Zoe Chant!
****I received a free copy from the author, without any obligation to review.****
I loved this book, I was really glad that I had read A Griffin for Christmas because it just added a bit more understanding, although you do not have to read it to totally love this book. Georgia needs a break, she is raising her son on her own and it has not been easy. But thanks to a slightly rigged contest by her friend she now has a week lond christmas trip to a wonderful resort. So off she goes with her son and his loyal dog. There she meets Garrett, a dragon shifter forced to take a mini vacation from his job in the Shifter Patrol Corps. He not happy, but meeting Georgia while she was looking for her cabin has awakened something he did not think possible. She is his mate, but does she even know about shifters and mates? and now there is big trouble at the resort. Now they have to keep Logan, Georgia's son, safe, and help the surrounding shifters gain their land back without getting killed. Exciting and loved the characters, and a great HEA.
Garrett and Georgia Working Vacay Tryst! 4.45***** Spoiler Alert!
Garrett K, shifter cop/dragon, on ordered vacation by Hardwicke Chief at Shifter Patrol Bureau, to Lake resorts. There he met Georgia Clarkson, his fated human mate and single mom of the shy, bookish, 9 year old, Logan and his dog Freddy. Together they rapidly bonded, copulated, and formed a family unit; this bonding helped him survive the battle with Crane the wyvern during his rescue of Georgia from Barston the gangster, stealing shifter gecco in the return of Ilara's stolen family land. Yes they formed an expected family unit of three plus one dog and a bittersweet HEA.
Interesting plot, with uni-dimensional characters, and a theme of 'love will conquer all'. Hardwicke's ulterior motive for Garrett's vacation was counterproductive to his 'good of the team' speech in chapter one, very duplicitous of him. A quick read.
A Dragon shifter and Christmas story, what more could you want?
Even cooler is to find that Georgia, Logan and Freddy from book 1 are in this one. Garrett is a hard working member of the Shifter Patrol, who doesn't have time for a break from catching bad shifters. Now they are all at a Christmas resort, where they meet and Garrett realizes that she is his mate! There are some sweet scenes and some twists and turns in this quick read. The pace is fast, the tone is upbeat and the storyline is character oriented with some action and some steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and endearing. If this sounds good to you, then try this series, but read them in order if you can. Enjoy!
Georgia is a single mom along with her son Logan wins a trip to a Resort. Garrett is a dragon shifter who is also there on vacation.
Garrett realizes that Georgia is his mate. There's some trouble at the resort, but Garrett doesn't like the owner. Will they fall in love before trouble finding them?
The characters are hilarious, relatable, and unique as far as shifters go. The plot is finding who the criminal is.
Another story about shifters that I love by the author of Shifter Patrol Corps. It is different from the first story that I read. I'm eagerly looking forward to really more about this series. Highly recommended.
Like the one before it in the series, this book was a lot of fun. Christmas magic, fated mates, and bad shifters bent on doing bad things in the name of world domination. I liked that Georgia came into this situation already knowing a little bit about shifters and mates and kind of the whole nine yards. On the other hand, it seems a little odd to me to be reading about alpha heroes who have been plagued with the “too stupid to live” gene, as I typically don’t find it in male characters. But, Garrett seems to have the same problem that Rowan did: charging blindly in where angels fear to tread. In spite of my shock that he lives to see his happily ever after, I really enjoyed reading their story.
Gruff dragon finds forever with his fated mate. Garrett is the dragon member of the Shifter Patrol Corps. When his boss forces him to take a vacation at a winter resort he’s less than pleased. Georgia and her son are enjoying a rare vacation at the same resort and meet when they stop at Garrett’s cabin by mistake. Garrett is reticent but intrigued of course, his dragon has no such reservations. Once he realizes Georgia is his mate, he’s all in but struggles with how to explain what he is. As fate would have it things are not on the up and up at the resort and when Garrett saves the day, Georgia suspects the truth. They make a great pair and need the strength of their bond to save the resort and each other. Christmas themed love story with action, fun and sexy times.
A beautiful holiday read. Garrett, a fairly solitary dragon, is on a 'forced' vacation. Georgia, a single mom, won a raffle for a resort Christmas getaway. When these two meet, the chemistry is instant. But Georgia doesn't want to get her hopes up, having been hurt in the past. Garrett makes that difficult. He is easy to trust and she feels safe with him. With one touch, he knew she was his mate. Telling her just might be easier than he thinks. A bit of action to show the lengths a shifter will go through for his mate. A story of family, trust and love. Another winning romance for the Zoe's. I am voluntarily leaving this review of an advanced copy I received.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest! This was a great book ! Georgia would like to give her son a nice Christmas. She did not expect to win a trip to a luxury resort from the raffle. Now, she can give her son the Christmas that they both deserve. But could it be to good to be true ? Garrett was mandated by his boss to take a vacation. He did not want to take a vacation, but he could not say not. One thing is for sure, he did not expect to meet his mate on this vacation. Loved the characters + the storytelling ! It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book! I can't wait for the next book in this series.

🔹️ Garrett Kolev is a DragonShifter with the Shifter Patrol Corps. His boss is forcing a vacation on him at a Resort. But he got more then bargain for, bad guys come into the picture let alone his Mate! Watch for Red Mittens
☄️ This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books. Funny what one red mittens can do for you.
Enjoyable short coffee time read with a fun plot. Not full of background or depth due to length of book. Likeable main H’s with the shifter insta mate thing by Garrett, closely followed by the same with our heroine Georgia. Good that an injustice was corrected and the rightful owners get their lands back. I just would have liked better closure re Barston and Crane, and were the others punished too. Who from the corps was crooked? Expected a bit more from the ending, like a pregnancy or something. Having the pc factor of having two same sex couples in this story was a bit over the top for me. Read through Kindle Unlimited.
OMG!! I loved reading this book. The storyline had me totally captivated, and only a physical necessity was able to make me put it down. It gradually referred to the first book in this series, but it followed the overall theme. How is it, when they’re not looking for the other half to their soul, is exactly when the find it, and usually the timing is questionable. I really really enjoyed how hard he fought to get to her when he felt she was in danger and needed him. Talk about taking your breath away, that did it. Loved the epilogue. Just makes me smile and want to dream of happy endings and a forever kind of love.
Garrett, a dragon shifter, is forced into taking a vacation by his boss. He is a cop who handles shifter criminals. Georgia is a single mother and given a Christmas vacation by her friends to give her son, Logan, a good holiday. When they reach the resort they went to the wrong chalet and end up meeting Garrett. Georgia is immediately drawn to Garrett. When he comes to see her the next morning he realizes Georgia is his mate. So Garrett finally has a family and has learned what Christmas is all about. Georgia and Logan happily let Garrett join their family. Happiness for them all. Awesome addition to the series.
Georgia her son Logan and dog Freddy, win a 3 day holiday at a Christmas Resort. When Georgia makes a wrong turn that turns out to be the best mistake ever. Garrett ordered to take time off at a Christmas Resort, he had no idea there would be romance and deadly danger ahead. Read how they manage to meet, fall I love, survive deadly criminals and give the resort back to the true owners. A marvelous story of Christmas love, hope and action blended just right to make a great story
Georgia has been raising her son on her own for years. Garrett hasn't taken a vacation from work for years. One look and their lives change. Will they be able to figure out what is happening before it is to late?
Loved the instant connection between these two. I loved how despite what Garrett thought before, once he met his mate, he was a completely different man. I loved how Georgia was with her son and those around her and how accepting she was of what Garrett was to her. Good read!

This author always manages to give us the best holiday books. I love how this one is full of action, adventure danger, family, laughter and love. The author couldn’t have set these characters up any better to find their perfect mate and their HEA. I really enjoyed that they not only gave themselves the perfect present, but they gave a lot more people the special gift as well. I look forward to the next holiday book by this author.
I haven't found a book by Zoe Chant that I haven't loved and I can't say that with this one either. The love story between Garrett and Georgia is sweet and loving. Right from the very start you are rooting for them and the end makes you want to not stop. I was cheering for Garrett to get his happy ending and I was so happy for them. I laughed throughout this book and loved these characters. I definitely recommend that you read this book and can't wait for more in this series.
Best vacation ever! Garret finds his mate Georgia and gets an instant family. Of course he has to help solve problems in vacation because he can't leave work. The gecko was so darn funny. I really had to laugh. Like how could the dude have so much power being a gecko? The resort sounded wonderful who.wouldn't love a place like that completely paid for. sounds like a dream Christmas vacation for everyone.
This story left me feeling quite happy. If you read A Hippogriff for Christmas then you might remember the main characters here as minor characters from that fine tale. Of course there is a nefarious villain to be vanquished but the ending of that adventure is quite satisfying. (If you haven't read the Hippogriff story don't worry. You can read that book when you're finished with this one.)
This is such a sweet romantic story. Garrett is a hard worker that never takes vacation. His boss is sneaky and fills out a leave request for him. LoL. Georgia is a single mom trying to do everything. Her community gets together and sends her on a vacation. Georgia is a kind person. They accidentally meet, but it’s just pleasantries. However the second time, brings more meaning. Read On!
Garrett couldn't believe his boss was sending him on a vacation to a chalet at a resort. Georgia couldn't believe her and her son were spending Christmas at a chalet after winning a vacation. Fate tends to bring mate's together. Enjoyed the book. Loved the characters. Plenty of action and romance.a
Another cute and sexy story that just gives you the warm and fuzzies after you are done. Georgia is a single mother on a much needed vacation when she meets Garrett the hunky dragon shifter next door. Their love story starts off with a couple of bumps and a bit of danger but it all works out and they get their happy ever after!
I have really enjoyed all of this author's work, and this is no exception. It's a great story to get you started with the holiday season, or anytime of the year. There's a little bit of suspense, humor, love, and lots of Christmas spirit which makes for a great read. I would definitely recommend this book, series, and terrific author.
Georgia is a single mother of a young son. She wins an all inclusive trip to an awesome resort. There she immediately meets Garrett a dragon shifter. This is their story. I enjoy this series, and I love reading anything by Ms. Chant as well. I read this through KU program.
Georgia couldn't have believe she won a raffle to a Christmas resort. Her friends had done this for her and her son Logan. Garrett has been order by his boss of shifter patrol to take a vacation. Arrangements had been made! You're going! This is a Christmas love story of Garrett a Dragon and human mom Georgia and son Logan!
Another Christmas story of shifter romance! Hard working Garret, member of the Shifter patrol, gets ordered to take a vacation. Little does he know he has a chance meeting with his fated mate in store! Add in some bad guys and a battle for his mate and you have an interesting story that's hard to put down! Good read!
I enjoyed this book as much as the first. I like the way they find their mates even in the weirdest way. There always seems to be something that gets to get in the way. In the end they have their HEA. Worth getting and reading each book in this Christmas series.
For a dragon 🐉that never thought he would ever have a mate and a family he got both all in one for he found his mate and she had a son. And now he has his family that that is all he ever wanted.I would like to say thank you for all your hard work and may fortune smile 😃on you always 😁
