Melanie Hall is a woman on a desperate mission. To save her dying brother, she makes the ultimate sacrifice: she offers herself to the Stonefire dragon-shifter clan in exchange for a vial of life-saving dragon blood. Bound by a contract to live among these elusive, powerful beings for six months, she finds herself thrust into a world of ancient secrets, isolation, and a brooding alpha who wants nothing to do with her.
Tristan MacLeod is the clan’s most stubborn dragon-shifter, fueled by a deep-seated hatred for the humans who destroyed his family. He views Melanie as a duty to be fulfilled, not a partner to be cherished. But as the sparks fly between them, their enemies-to-lovers dynamic creates an undeniable heat that neither can escape. When their inner beasts recognize their fated mate, the lines between obligation and desire begin to blur.
This paranormal romance delivers the perfect blend of high-stakes drama, laugh-out-loud humor, and intense spice. As Melanie becomes part of the found-family at Stonefire, she discovers that love can flourish in the most unexpected places. If you are looking for a grumpy-sunshine dynamic with a side of dragon fire, this series opener is your next obsession.

I love this series! The reading was a bit different than I am used, and by that I mean instead of being one book it was broken up into 4 parts. You can buy each part separately or you can do what I did and buy the box set. I would suggest the box set, if you are like me after reading part one you aren't going to be able to stop :). I loved this book for many reasons. The story was original. It is about dragons, their population is dying down so they need human female sacrifices to repopulate....

Melanie lives in a world where dragons exist. Humans have hunted them for centuries and now their numbers are so low the dragons have made a pact with the humans. Since dragon blood has magical healing powers, the humans agree to give up their women (men, too, I think) who are genetically compatible to bear dragon offspring in exchange for dragon blood. It’s a win-win. Humans get the healing blood; dragons repopulate their race; there’s no more war. Too bad there are some evil humans (dragon...

I knew there would be sex in Sacrificed to the Dragon but I was happy there was also humor, interesting plot, and a well told story as well. Melanie and Tristan are both stubborn confident people that need each other to take themselves down a notch. Great fiery match. The Dragon frenzy caught me off guard. I will say there is a sensitive portion relating to possible rape that may offend some readers so keep that in mind when selecting. I loved Tristan's inner dragon. So childlike. Reminded me...

So first off this story is good for what it is. If ur looking for decent smutty book with an alpha male this is for you and if you also love shifter dragons lol. I liked Melanie she was a well rounded female lead with a kind heart but doesn't let the alpha male rule her. I can get behind that however she was a little too forgiving for my taste. Tristan the alpha shifter male he was alright to be honest. I like the a good a hole that actually is a good guy underneath lol but he just seemed so...

Sacrificed to the Dragon is a very hot paranormal shifter story. If you know me, then you know I can’t turn down a good paranormal story, add in some hot romance and I’m sold. Make it about dragons (or mermaids) and I might become obsessed. Melanie Hall wants to save her brothers life. The only way she can do that is to offer herself as a sacrifice to the dragons. It’s not what it seems. The dragons keep to themselves. They’ve long been hunted by humans for their blood and for sport. As a...
