Each book in this sexy-as-sin series can each be read as standalones, and has no cliffhangers, but are best read in order.
Cheating, Lying, and Cruelty -- What's Not to Like ??? . . .
After walking in to find her fiancé Johnny, once again in bed with another woman, Amber Trelawney has finally had enough. (Can I hear a collective sigh or an Amen?) She packs two suitcases, and Johnny, her dragon EX-fiancé begins to suspect that she is serious this time. Firmly believing she is his and no one else may ever have her, despite the fact he freely samples all the women he can coerce to bed, he tracks her down to bring her back.
Having no money and no luck finding a job, Amber finally sees an ad for a surrogate. The clients try to cheat her, but she had investigated the going rates for this and they offered more money. She also has to stay with them and they will provide room and board. They are very wealthy, so this is not an issue for them. Amber signs the contract as a surrogate, is confirmed pregnant, then the physical abuse starts! Mrs. Jepson hits her and does some damage to her face, and she has to see a doctor to get it repaired. He gives her the name of a lawyer to see about getting out of the contract. Linc, the lawyer, looks over the contract and says she can’t get out of it – I guess there must have been small print at the bottom saying it’s okay to physically abuse her regularly as part of the job?
Then Amber’s ex tracks her down. Amber is afraid for her life since Johnny is a dragon. But Linc assures her he can protect her, although he did not confess to the terrified woman that he was also a dragon which is why he felt confident about this. There are more crazy things going on in the story, but this seemed like enough. We have Amber who is not very good with self-preservation efforts. I am glad she walked out on Johnny and went to a lawyer. But it felt like she was too tolerant of being beaten and other such actions against her. Linc wants a relationship with Amber and omits telling her the truth about what he is, especially when she is going through this nonsense with Johnny. Johnny has repeatedly cheated on her with no guilt and she let him. All it should take is ONCE and that’s too many times. And the couple who wanted to bring a child into their twisted world, when they were physically going to have severe issues trying to care for a child and later toddler (they could hardly move due to extreme weight) should have given Amber pause to consider whether that was the right job to accept. (Others had refused.) And then she lets them beat on her.
All of these things made me regret reading a book about my favorite topic: dragons. I don’t find this book funny or redeeming. It’s difficult to connect with Amber when she seems so self-destructive. I was greatly disappointed and not sure why others seemed happy with this book. (My title was sarcasm, in case it wasn't clear.)
This story has some elements from previous books in the series, but I think you will enjoy it even if you haven't read any of the others. The book begins with Amber who has just caught her fiance cheating on her. Johnny doesn't seem to understand why Amber is so upset. When she begins packing her stuff to leave him, it finally dawns on him that she is really serious. Even then, the only that really makes him mad is that she is taking the engagement ring with her. Strapped for money, Amber decides to take a job as a surrogate for a rich couple. These two are a little off-putting, but she gets a lot of money, and room and board, out of the deal. All is well until the physical abuse starts. That's when Amber finds herself a lawyer.
Link is a dragon shifter who has become a workaholic. His friends keep trying to convince him to slow down and enjoy his long life, but so far he hasn't found anyone to share it with. His dating history consists of a single date with a woman, and then she loses interest. When Amber walks into his office with her surrogate agreement for him to review, he is determined that she not walk out without agreeing to a date. She is everything he wants in a woman and he and his dragon are smitten. Unfortunately, he can't get her out of her agreement, but when Johnny comes looking for her he can do something to protect her. It seems Johnny is a dragon shifter also, and that is what scares Amber the most. This means that Link is hesitant to admit to her that he, too, is a dragon. That is going to come back to bite him in the butt.
The bad guys from previous books also make their appearances in the book. Nothing Link can't handle, though he does have a close call. Enjoy.

After Mrs. Jepson hits her for her own reasons, Amber goes to see a lawyer recommended by the doctor who fixed up her face. Link, the lawyer, looks over the contract Amber has signed and tells her she needs to grit her teeth. Amber feels safe with Link. This book has shootouts, foot chases, a jailbreak, a kidnapping, plenty of romance, and some steam, plus ends in a HEA. Highly recommended.
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW of Lawyer Dragon's Runaway Surrogate by Serena Meadows. This fifth book in the Runaway Mates series gives us Link and Amber's story. I love that the stories are linked through a group of dragon friends and an arms dealer named Chuck. When Amber leaves her cheating ex, she finds more than she bargained for as a surrogate. Link is an attorney that works in the same building as a doctor that Amber sees. When she needs some advice, the doctor recommends she see Link. Feelings Fly! This is a great addition to the series. Sweet story of mates finding each other. Some heat makes this a Mature Readers Only read.

Amber has a terrible backstory and current story as her fiance cheated on her multiple times before she left and now as a surrogate, the couple giving her room and board while pregnant are starting to beat on her. Enough already. Lincoln is the only hope she has and as a lawyer, he has seen plenty. They fall for each other and because her ex is a bad dragon, he can protect her but does not tell her he is also a dragon. The characters are complex and going through a lot. The storyline has plenty of twists, surprises, intrigue, cruelty, and drama. The romance Amber and Linc want goes through problems, too, but the drive is there for a better life ahead. Great ending.

I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.
Lincoln or Link is a dragon shifter lawyer. He has enemies.
He met Amber who wanted advice about her contract as a surrogate to a wealthy couple. Amber has also left her former fiancée, Jonney and a dragon shifter because he was unfsithful. He wants to kill her.
The characters are loyal to their friends, fighters against injustice, and caring about each other. This fast paced drama is action pack to keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat. I like how the action of the battle Like verus Jonny.
Highly recommended. I am looking forward to the last book in the series.
I thought it was strange because like who thinks I need money so I will be a surrogate. Why not sell the expensive car get a less expensive car, have some money to live on and look for a job. Yeah does not make for an interesting book? I am to logical. The dragons in this series who are not supposed to be violent sure end up killing an awful lot of rogue dragons! Should u read it? Sure why not I did and found the premise interesting but I sure as neck would worry about leaving a baby with parents who hit others with ease, want to control everything, get drunk and try to rape people. Yes this should be a great life for a baby. Yeah not so much.
This one has drama, and some of the past characters appear in this book. You do not have to read the other books to keep up. Amber is a surrogate after leaving her cheating boyfriend. Then learns the parents she is having the baby for are abusive. She talks to a lawyer to see if she can get out of the contract. Link is the lawyer. He is unable to get her out of the contract but is very interested in her. Her ex shows up and things get sticky.

Serena does such a great job with her stories. This one is no different. She left her ex because of cheating. Now she needs a job. Perfect job to get to be a baby warmer right. LOL. That is until things get physical. Now she needs out. But she is stuck so now what can she do. Meet a lawyer that you are attracted to that has his own set of problems. Her ex still is a problem also. With everything going on in their lives can it get any better? Can these two get past things and move on together?

Amber comes home and finds her fiancé cheating on her again and this time is the last time so Amber packs her stuff and leaves she swears that she will never get involved with a shifter again. Link is a dragon shifter and a lawyer he’s lonely that’s why he’s a workaholic until he meets Amber who takes his breath away. Also Chuck is back in town he’s scared because he was nearly killed by a dragon, there is so much more going on in this fantastic story I loved it and the characters and I highly recommend this book.
We have amber who is running from her ex,because he keeps cheating on her. With no money she becomes a surrogate for a family. Then they turn out to be abusive even, she goes to a Lawyer. Link is a attorney that she happens to go to, he is also a dragon shifter. Then of course we still have Chuck and his associates who has been dealing out of the building. With so much going on with people wanting them both dead, what will they do? Can they find peace? Can they live?

Overall this was a decent story. It would have been nice to know that this was part of a series. I felt like I should have known some of the characters that appeared and the ending definitely hinted at the next in the series. Overall it was a pretty decent story with the main characters growing over the story and the plot was well executed.
Four out of Five stars.

This is the story of Amber and Link, but also continues the back story of the crime in the building that the others dealt with too! Amber leaves Johnny after finding him cheating...... Again.... This leads her to becoming a surrogate and as a result meets Lincoln. A good tale that can be read separately but is better having read the previous ones
I received an ARC copy and am leaving this review freely and with no reservations
A interesting, love story, with a couple of twists.
I chose this rating cause I really enjoyed this story of the dragons, their lives with the good dragons, & the bad dragons. Amber the lady that won't let anyone give her trouble without a fight back. Go lady, even lookout for her surrogate baby too. Leaving the baby with a message before the baby goes to is horrible people as parents.
Amber found her fiancé cheating on her again she left but he kept threatening her. Amber signed up to be a surrogate for this rich couple that did so awful crap to her. She hired Link to see if she could get out of her contract.Had to keep reading because I needed to see which way the book would go! That was the only bad thing about this book otherwise I loved it!
