Dragon with Benefits

Rate this book
Everything can change in a moment... 

Trevor didn't think that a single outburst directed at his takeout would come back to haunt him. After all, as an immortal dragon, being in the public eye isn't supposed to happen. But the thing haunting him is actually an audaciously persistent reporter who's determined to get her next story at any cost. Even if it means awakening the dragon in him to the realization that this woman may just be his mate.

Petra knows that all things in life come at a price. So when her boss holds the one thing she thinks she wants most--her promotion--hostage, she is ready to do anything. Even track down the mysterious, strikingly handsome man caught throwing a tantrum on viral video. But she never expected that coming face to face with the most amazing, frustrating man on earth just might turn her world upside down.

One interview is all it takes for the sparks to start flying between the closed-off Trevor and Petra. But even though she's sworn off romance, her tall, relentless recluse seems intent on making her life complicated. The kind of complicated that could give a girl ideas of happily ever after...

Good entertaining read. Trevor torn between not abandoning his partner dragon and the woman he knows is his mate must decide. The conclusion is satisfying all around and a great HEA.

I loved this book. Shifter romances are my favorite! This one was better than some of the most recent ones I've read. This story line is captivating, flows really well, & hooks you in.

Sweet and steamy Dragonshifter Romance

This book is light, sweet, funny and hot. The evolving world-building is very fascinating, we get a short glimpse of fairies even, which paves the way for new series.

Sushi Run gone Bad!

3.5 Stars - Trevor and Petra's story was a nice one. Petra is just the right amount of Sassy for Trevor. I end up feeling sorry for Chad. His story I am hoping gets him all happy and fulfilled. Xander made this story for me. I love humor in the stories I read. This one did not disappoint with Xander's antics...whack! There was an error of a name and I felt we received too much all at once in the epilogue about the Fae. I would have liked it better to learn throughout the entire story about them. It felt overwhelming in the last chapter and overload in the epilogue. Maybe in Chad's story it will be spaced out in the chapters.

This is a good addition to the Forgotten Dragons series. It features a likable couple, and has a slightly different take on the dragons than Terry's other dragon series have. I liked that these dragons are a little different, and hope that we will continue to find out more about them as the series continues.

Trevor and Petra were both mostly likable, and they were good together. I did wish that Trevor would have opened up a little sooner, since his secrets ended up hurting Petra and confusing Chad. I understood that he didn't think he could, but he should have at least talked to Chad or the oracle before hurting Petra. I also wished that Petra would admit to herself sooner that she was falling for Trevor, instead of just constantly thinking her job was more important -- that seemed a bit selfish to me.

I wasn't sure I would like Trevor, based on his behavior in the first book -- but he was much better in this one, and I did like him.

This one gets 3.5 stars from me, rounded up to 4 stars. I'm looking forward to reading Chad's story next -- but I have to say that I haven't liked him all that much so far, so I'm hoping he will be better in his book.

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.

Reviewed at Shifter Haven

Dragon with Benefits, the fourth title in this series brings us Trevor and Chad, the double dragons – and, at times, the bane of the other dragons we’ve met so far in the Forgotten Dragons series are about to have their perceived world/future set on its edge for this double dragon team will not be forming a triad as it is believed all double dragons must. No, this time fate has a far different future in store for these, at times uppity, always snarky, and definitely sexy dragon friends. Trevor makes himself an internet sensation all over his annoyance at a sushi delivery as he punts his bagged meal and is captured on someone’s ever-present phone camera… now he’s got reporters, strangers, and one very unique woman constantly at his door wanting more about this temper-tantrum throwing, although still hidden from humans, dragon.

Petra is what he thought he’d never find – his mate, and only his mate, not part of a triad to be shared with Chad. Now Trevor has to rethink everything he’s ever known, salvage hurting his mate with his actions and holding on to the friendship that has kept him steady all these long years. Add to all of that drama, if that isn’t enough, is a new twist in this series — and one I’m not about to spoil for you, but the possibilities for now and the future are endless.

I enjoyed Dragon with Benefits so much. Yeah, at times I did think Trevor got exactly what he deserved but I also felt sorry for him at times since he really is completely torn over knowing that Petra is his mate and not knowing how to tell her, tell Chad or the Oracle – let alone a bunch of dragons who would just love to have something to hold over his head (they wouldn’t really but tease a lot, most definitely). The turn in this series, the one I won’t talk much about, is truly intriguing and I see so many possibilities coming from this – so watch for something even more than the usual unexpected to appear in this dragon’s story. I had a blast, looking forward to the next story … and what comes beyond.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Fast paced with a lot of tension

This story has a different focus. Trevor is part of a double dragon pair, but he knows he couldn't share a mate, so he just does his job with Chadwick, and avoids getting close to any woman. That works, until he meets Petra. Then things get hectic. Trevor is an honorable dragon who doesn't want to let his partner or the world down, so what can be do? Petra is a good feisty counterpart for Trevor. The story has a fast pace, an uncertain tone and a character oriented storyline with some steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and make you root for them! I can't wait to read Chad's story next! You really need to read these in order. However, to get the full picture, read the Double Dragons box set, the Tiger Protectors box set, then the Awakened Dragons box set, the Rent-a-Dragon box set, the Date-a-Dragon box set, the Awakened Sea Dragons box set, the Dragon Guards of Drakkaris box set, Nightmare Dragons series, Frozen Dragons series, Club Crimson series and the Bad Dragons series before this one! If you have not read any books by Terry Bolryder yet, and you like shifter romances with complex and some action, then these books are for you! Enjoy!

I loved Trevor's story. Going from Sushi douchbag to happily mated dragon want easy though.

Trevor was having a bad day when his temper tantrum made him the next big thing on the internet. Fortunately, he hadn't displayed any dragon powers so all he was was slightly embarrassed at having his face displayed for millions to laugh at.

Petra found the video of the guy kicking his sushi bags funny, but she also thought he was a very good-looking douche. Figures. When her boss dangles a promotion in front of her if she can find the man and get an interview for the paper, she accepts the challenge. Moonlighting as a delivery person for the sushi restaurant gets her his address, but he shuts the door in her face before she can get any questions asked.

Find out what happens when one of a double dragon pair figures out that he has found his mate, but he doesn't want to share with his partner. Can he keep her for himself?

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Dragon With Benefits, is the fourth book in Terry Bolryder’s new amazing series, the Forgotten Dragons.

The filming of a dramatic public outburst, brings Petra, a reporter, to the front door of Trevor, a double dragon. The chemistry between them when they meet is instant and intense, but past experiences and secrets complicate matters, especially when the love they feel for each is equally strong and intense. Will Trevor and Petra find their happily ever after when everything comes out? Read it and find out!

I loved reading Dragon With Benefits, it’s a great and exciting love story. It’s not what I expected from a Bolryder double dragon pair, but I love that it’s different and equally exciting. I can’t wait to read Chadwick’s story. I’m also hoping for a new series in the new year about the fae princes; Flint, Ivar, Tynan, and Boreas. Bolryder does a fantastic job introducing new characters and plot twists that leaving the reader wanting more. Can’t wait!

Who'd have thought a hot guy pulling a hissy-fit over his sushi delivery would give Petra the chance for the promotion she deserved? She worked hard. Now all she had to do was what no one else had been able to do.

Trever was tired of his friend and partner dragon teasing him. He knew he was supposed to be unobtrusive but sometimes it was hard being the protector of all with no chance to have his one to protect. It was his own fault he couldn't find a mate to make their triad. Then enters this pushy reporter-- the gorgeous woman who makes his dragon roar. Not gonna happen--blast it!

Dragon with Benefits has one feature (not gonna tell you what) that I have wanted from the beginning of the author's dragon series. Thank you Ms. Bolryder. I love all the characters and the turn I'm thinking is going to be the next series. This has steam, old friends, new situations and I loved it.

Dragon With Benefits Forgotten Dragons Book 4
By Terry Bolryder
Kindle unlimited purchase
Trevor and Chadwick are a dragon pair and they are destined to share a mate. But Trevor can't share, he has never told Chadwick this and now it seems too late, because he thinks he might have met her.
Petra is a report, and she's good at her job but her boss will not give her a promotion unless she gets an interview from the Sushi Douchebag. But when she meets him her life changes.
Petra is a strong woman even though she doesn't see herself as one. Poor Trevor he feels that he is disappointing everyone and tries to go against what he feels and tries to live as they tell him should. I have enjoyed this series and glad I am catching up on it. Book 5 here I come! I love it when the whole series is out and you can go right from one to the other and don't have to wait for the next one to come out!

Dragon with Benefits, Forgotten Dragons, book 4.

I loved Trevor and Petra's story. They go together so well!
Trevor is a good Dragon and a double Dragon he and his partner Chadwick have not yet found a mate together, and Trevor doesn't want to share a mate with Chad. Petra is a junior reporter on an internet news site desperately wanting to get a promotion. Her chance comes when Trevor is filmed having a meltdown and the film becomes an internet sensation, the "sushi douche bag" is born. To win her promotion Petra needs to track down and interview the star of the internet film!
This is a great story and I can't wait for the next books! Terry has laid the foundation for several more books with the introductions within this book with Chad's book next. I can't wait!
I can definitely recommend this book to all those that enjoy shifter romance.

This story was a classic romance novel set in modern times where a woman reporter must get the inside scoop on a man whose meltdown gets recorded and trends online. Also turns out he is a dragon. Although the dragon part didn't seem to really matter in a way not very well integrated into the story and the conflict felt lukewarm at best. By the end of the book the conflict is resolved through a simple conversation he could have had in the beginning of the book. Also there was a line in there that has stayed with me and I fear will stay with me til the end of my days. "He plundered her mouth." There, that one I keep imagining tiny pirates crawling into a woman's mouth. Weird I know but thats where this novel took me and dropped me off.
All in all steamy, lovey, and the word douchebag is used a lot. Be an adventurous reader and discover the plundering of this novel with me.

This is the fourth book in this fun series and I must admit I wasn't expecting Trevor to get his own story after all he is a double dragon and should share his mate with Chad his partner but Trevor is much to possessive to share Looking forward to Chads story next

Trevor had a melt down and it was ll caught on video bringing him to the public eye. Petra a journalist pretends to be a delivery driver as a chance to get the inside scoop on this latest viral video after all that would be a bonus in her journalistic career What she didn't expect was a super hot all alpha male that could turn into a dragon. Petra isn't interested in romance but this dragon has found his mate and he intends to win her Can they get a HEA You will have to read to see.

This girl loves her dragon

This author does dragons like no other. Each of her dragons have a set role to play, but with this series the rules are changing and the lines are blurred. I love how this book brings the merging of several different types of dragons together while adding in the new fae characters. I especially enjoyed the way Chad embraced his friends change in circumstances and made the transition smoother. I hope Chad finds his mate soon and he doesn’t get taken from Trevor. I can’t imagine even his love for Petra would be able to handle the loss of his partner. I think the author has really outdone herself with this series and I can’t wait to see where she takes it next. This book is a wonderful example as to why she’s one of my favorite authors.

Sushi douchebag finds his mate

Trevor as sushi douchebag is hilarious because he hates attention like that. The fact that the other dragons are teasing him about it is great. The fact that he found his mate because of it priceless. Petra who doesn't want to try to be with someone else because she was disappointed once is ridiculous. A Dragon trying to be friends with benefits when they are possessive to begin with just really not a good beginning especially one who doesn't even want to share with his best friend and partner Chad. It was never going to work. I kind of liked the fact that he lost his dragon. I really like how they ended up getting together. Looking forward to seeing what happens with Chad and the fae who really need a reality check.

Dragon with benefits

Petra is a reporter looking for a promotion. She hopes to find the Sushi Douchebag and find out who he really is. Trevor is the gold Dragon who one day got a call from the oracle and sadly threw his sushi order around. He was told him and Chadwick had to find a mate, but something in him wasn't happy about sharing. One day as he's waiting for his sushi order Petra is delivering it and gets his brute side. The second time she decides she's going to face him and get her story. When they meet up for dinner Petra is unsure about doing an article on Trevor. She's falling for him but her past has put up walls. Can these two work out their pasts to become a future? Great read. Now on to book 5.

I loved Trevor and Petra's love story. A thoroughly enjoyable read, that made me laugh out load at times and swoon at others. I adored watching Trevor transform from a grumpy and annoyed golden Dragon to a romantic and loving Mate for Petra. It was equally fun to watch Petra transform from a woman just looking to get a promotion in her job as a journalist to an accepting and loving woman. Usually the worst part of reading a book I like is finishing it, but with this book I look forward to what stories are still to come.

This story has so much humor and was sexy at the same time. You get to see some old friends as meet some new characters too. Though I'm really hoping Chad gets his story soon, I'm also super excited to see where she is going with the new characters brought in. These stories never disappoint and I look forward to what is coming based on the hints in this book.

This is my honest opinion of this title.

Trevor has always known that he didn't want to mate in a triad. Petra is determined that love must come last. One video changes everything. Will Petra allow herself to fall? Will Trevor discover it is okay to be different?

Loved seeing another Forgotten Dragons book! I loved how Trevor was different, but yet he still took others feelings into account. I didn't blame Petra for being scared, but loved how in the end she went after what she wanted. Good read!

Ok

For someone so powerful and pretty arrogant previously, Trevor was kind of a whiny baby here. He sat around pouting and keeping secrets from everyone. Chad was literally begging and pleading for the hundredth time for answers and Trevor acted like a sullen child. And their relationship was an odd blur between friendship and romantic without being entirely either one. I would have prefer clearer line either way.

Awesome Read!!!

Loved it, for a while there I thought the Oracle would be against Trevor having a mate all to himself. Anyway they say things work out themselves which happens in Trevor's favor. Now these Fae really seem intense so to speak, but I guess it will all work out in the end..so he can produce gold huh!! that is something..but I am happy things workout for Trevor and Petra..going on to read Chadwick story now...big fan as always Winzie19☺💞.

This is the 4th in the series

I enjoyed this one especially as Trevor & Chadwick are suppose to share a mate but Trevor can not share
So when Petra colmes under the disguise of a delivery driver to get a story as she is a reporter, Trevor wants her but not to share
I am looking forward to Chad's story which is the next one in the series

This storyline had me hooked. I enjoyed the interaction and chemistry between Trevor and Petra greatly. Trevor never thought he would be caught on video having a fit over something would help him find his mate. Trevor and Petra are both strong, well-developed characters. I enjoyed reading about them from start to finish their story was a wonderful addition to the Forgotten Dragons series.

As with all these story’s I absolutely loved it, it went against the Norm for these groups of double dragons and was great at being different. I’m already looking forward to what happens with his partner.

Looks like the universe has opened up for another series aswell, yay 😀

The best so far...
What an awesome story! I really enjoyed the way the author blended elements of her different series to make an emotional page turner of a book. Trevor and Petra have a tough road to happiness, one tortured by what he thinks he can't have, the other too afraid of abandonment. I can't wait for Chad's story!
I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary review.

Oh things are not going as what Trevor thinks they should go. Being a double dragon and partnered with Chadwick, they are to have a triad like the other double dragons. What happens when nosy reporter Petra comes along and defies the rules of food delivery? You MUST read to find out. Awesome story line and characters, as usual. Looking forward to the next one.
