Tried to finish this one... and failed. It's just not at all my thing. The "dragons" are just obnoxious, indecisive, emotionally stunted aliens that steal human women from earth for mates. Then the human females are just sort of slapped on the page and we're supposed to care about what happens to them. Obviously, I wanted them to escape, but they were so one dimensional that I honestly don't remember any of their names.
And the romance portion of this was more creepy than fun. I definitely won't be reading any more of this series, don't know why so many people seemed to like it. Oh well, was worth checking out anyway. The writing is decent, that's pretty much the only nice thing I can say.

In this book we meet Ariel who happens to be a lover of pets. She will adopt anything and you find out her living quarters are full with critters including her sleeping area. Ariel is a likable character there are some minor repeat themes but this story felt a little more fresh even though Ariel's pet rescuing is extreme it still has you turning the pages. Ariel was in no rush to get matted. In comes Mandra and they do eventually overcome some obstacles to become matted. It is a fast read and enjoyable. Mandra mother smooths the way with Ariel to open the doors to love for both of them.

Another great installment. This hero seemed much sweeter but I’m still digging these stories. We meet some new potential protagonist. Steamy scale 3 of 5 (Audible)

DNF around 60%. Take in my biggest pet peeves from the prior books (especially the internal dragon baby talk that sounds like it’s a Muppet for comic relief) and add to them a FMC who is weaponizing her emotions to get what she wants. Like, okay, to an extent I can understand that they’re in a new situation beyond their control, but Ariel is the WORST. She is all about saving the animals and is on a crusade despite the comfort, desires, or feelings of any other people. She brings what is considered food to everyone on this planet into their home and parades them around, allows them to destroy personal property, and then gets mad at everyone else for trying to eat these things. She cries every time she doesn’t get her way. She wanted animals sleeping in the bed and then got so hyper emotional and upset when the guy was like ‘can we please not’ and she turned pretty vicious with her comments back to him. She claims she was emotionally abused, but she’s weaponizing it and being emotionally abusive herself as a result. She knows that this guy would do basically anything to make her happy and she uses that against him in every fricken argument.
Awful.
Awful.

This author seriously needs a proof-reader or editor... The mistakes are getting annoying. I was happy however, that she did little to no re-hashing of stuff that happened in the previous books.

I'm so confused. One minute, Ariel is borderline Buffy (which I love!) the next she's a bowl of mush for this guy. Half the time she gets on him for doing things he shouldn't and the other half, she's totally letting it go and suddenly they're having sex! Also, her sister is her only remaining blood relation so how is it that she is totally cool with being separated from her most of the time without communication? I'd stop reading the series here, but I'm pretty sure I'll love Carmen, so I have to read her book...I hope I don't regret it.

I...I don't even know how to rate this. The story itself wasn't awful and the writing was competent but the editing was atrocious. Who needs complete sentences? Who needs consistent tenses? What crazy talk this is. And word choices. I don't think those words mean what the author thinks they mean, I *know* they don't. It was RIDICULOUS. I honestly don't understand how people can read this without being jarred. I guess what I'm saying is the storytelling was okay, but the author needs a better proofreader in a baaaaaad way. If only to make sure the tenses are consistent. And so someone realizes that a withering body isn't sexy.
