Starla Night delivers a fast-paced narrative where the collision of human tradition and dragon intensity creates an addictive reading experience. If you are craving a story that balances steamy shifter encounters with a sweet, redemptive arc, this is the perfect addition to your bookshelf. Dive into this gripping tale where a wounded warrior meets his match, proving that even the darkest souls can find their light.

Book 1 was great, really hooked me in. I wasn’t as excited by book 2, but it was still a good enough read that, while I took some time off to read other things, I came back for this book and do not regret it! )

The book was good because the characters annoyed me that they couldn't communicate. Ugh, but that is the world of dragons and humans, they hold different traditions. I was originally only going to read this book because they can be read as standalone. However, the writer has sucked me in and I have to read about the other 6 family members. Let's go! )

This is the fifth book in the 7 Brides for 7 Weredragon Billionaires series. It's a fast-paced and standalone book that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. There's action, adventure, drama, danger, twist/turns, enemies, survival, abuse, protection, tenderness, humor, fighting, trust, mystery/secrets, romance, passion/lust and love. Take a Weredragon shifter who was abused, bullied, neglected and scarred as a child, who is now a warrior/protector working for the family...

What a charming story. Kyan and Laura are quite the interesting couple 💑. Laura is a nurse and literally wears her feelings on her heart ❤ and Kyan is reserved and a soldier. This is the third brother and novel in the series but is a standalone novel. The plot will hold and keep the reader's attention and interest. The characters are well developed and written. Laura 's openness is refreshing. When Kyan finally understand, it is a rare treat. A very good read. 👍 ) One person found this helpful

I read the first two a while ago and decided it was time to return to this world for a visit. I am glad I did. I love that I could jump back in a feel a home. Give this author a chance. If you like mermen then I suggest you try her other series too. Kyan is an introvert. Because of what happened to him as a child he has many scars. He doesn't believe that he is worthy of having a human mate. He is next in line to marry the Empress. He meets Laura when he has to search the hospital she is doing...
