This was an interesting fantasy/romance book. I'm not quite sure what I just read, but I'm not mad at it.

Juniper is hiking on earth and stumbles onto something she thinks is a cave but turns out to be an alien spacecraft. As she investigates, the ship takes off and shes hurled into space. Unable to understand the controls, and with no food or water left, she is resigned to dying on the ship. Tristan is the new king of his clan of dragon shifters. When he sees the ship of his enemy flying at his ship, he disables it and boards, expecting to fight his enemy.

When Tristan and Juniper see each other, sparks fly. The two eventually get together, but can their relationship last when he lives for centuries and she is mortal? Well, it's a romance book, so what do you think?

This was a quick and easy read. It was a bit jarring to have a contemporary woman from earth making pop culture references while talking to a man that can transform into a dragon while they fly on a space ship? Huh? How did the author dream that up? It's also strange that Tristan appears human and has all human characteristics (because how else would they have all the sex, right?) but can morph into a huge dragon. Perhaps this is not so weird. It is, after all, my first venture into a dragon, paranormal, romance book. Who knew? :-)

In any event, this was actually a fun book to read. It's all fluff and escapism, but who doesn't need that once in awhile?

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a quick read, it was predictable but that didn't bother me. I enjoy the way she writes is why I keep reading her books.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher, I voluntarily read and reviewed.

This is a spin-off to the author's Demon series that is popular, with a different alien species as the main character. The author had been promising to continue the series at some point, and it was nice to see it finally happen. I did not enjoy this one quite as much as the rest original series, but it was still a great read. Although I am not reading much in the way of this genre of late, her books are still great as a science fiction/paranormal read, and I have always enjoyed her writing..

What would you do if you found spaceship on your walk in the forest? Go in and explore, and when the ship takes off? That has Jun done and the ship has her flown to an adventure of her life. Tristan still mourning the death of his father is still trying to accustom to being a new king and when an innocent sassy human comes in his life everything will change for him. This is great SF read with great characters and a lot of humor. I especially loved June she is so strong and caring, Tristan was perfect for her.

First time reading this author and this world. I must say I liked it; quite simplistic but then these kind of romance stories usually are. You could definitely tell this was a spin-off series, and having not read the previous books, I was left a bit lost at the beginning as to the different races and the magic system and what not; which was rather annoying.

The characters were interesting and I liked the couple. They had a lot of emotional range and depth, even if that wasn't dwelled on too much in the story.

Some things were a little inconsistent. Two characters seemed to really dislike each other at first, then later it seemed like it was good-natured banter instead, which didn't come across at first. Perhaps knowing the history of the characters from the previous books may have cleared this up but it just jolted me slightly when I kept reading conflicting information.

Our heroine June was brilliant. A fierce, intelligent and compassionate woman who is so down to earth (or rather out of earth!), and not shy to be herself even in this unusual situation she has found herself in.

I would have liked more depth to the story and the world. There was a lot mentioned that wasn't then really elaborated on. Like the Witches and how it seems their understanding of them may not be exactly what they think. Also, I kept on thinking there was going to be more to the rumour situation in this story, something to add a bit extra but it never came to fruition. A bit disappointing.

However, overall I enjoyed this story. Don't think you can expect too much from these type of serial romance stories but it was sweet all the same. Would recommend and looking to pick up other stories in this series.

Disclaimer: As far as PNR sub-genres go, I find dragon-shifters only marginally more interesting than wolf-shifters (which I've stopped reading books about at this point, they're just too many and too done). So I didn't come into this book with the highest of expectations. But Kiersten Fay may yet make a dragon fan out of me!

Although there are a few false starts at the beginning (some typos and turn of phrases that are a bit on the "purple prose" end for no reason), the author picks up the pace quick, managing to deliver a story that's surprisingly grounded and emotional — for being about alien dragon-shifters who live in a vaguely Asgardian society. June, the MC, is one of the most sympathetic and earnest characters I've read lately. She has a strength that stems from her trauma and resilience and that gives her developing relationship with Tristan (who is more like your run-of-the-mill brooding alpha male) a refreshing gravitas.

Experiencing dragons and alien kingdoms from June's perspective is a real joy — and you can tell the author is really having fun with some of the tropes of the genre. There are several things happening throughout this book that manage to keep the stakes high throughout but (without spoiling it) there is a scene towards the end of the book that you're likely to read again and again. I know I did! And it was a pleasant reminder that if you approach any genre with enough love and conviction, you can delight even the most jaded readers.

Plus, the epilogue scene, setting up a new MC for the next instalment of the series? THAT"S how I'd have liked the book to have started.


P.S. I'd like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for offering me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I recieved a digital edition of this book from the publisher via netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own and should be taken as such.

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be looking for this author in the future.

I really liked June, she had spunk and didnt let the prissy princess piss her off without pushing back.
I loved Tristan and his mother, they were so down to earth and both liked Juniper for exactly who she was. It did seem like Tristans mum wanted this all to happen the way she acted to start with.
Tristan was fun and i liked the way he basically kicked out the princess on her ass as soon as he could. I liked the way he acted around June so normal and we know they were both in love with each other.

I thought the big fight near the end could have been a little longer and the magic scene could have been a little morw in depth but the whole scene was good. I didn't expect Juniper to be able to shift but it's coold that she can.

This was a fun, quick read and i am excited to read more by the author. I am really enjoying her style of writing and Paranormal romance is my favourite genre :)

This book has a good storyline, it is filled with action and intrigue. The interaction and chemistry between the characters was great. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Emotionally thrilling journey filled with exciting and engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and action packed adventure. Really enjoyed this sexy, fun and exciting story.

If romantic light science fiction is for you then look no further ......... this book meets the brief .

Juniper finds herself adrift in a space craft ..... no idea how to pilot it and no food ....... it looks like a slow death is
in her future .
Until along comes Tristan ........... an enemy ship is drifting in space , it must be destroyed ........... but there is a
life sign aboard !
What follows is a delightful romance with a touch of intrigue , why is he attracted to her ? why is she attracted to him and where has she come from ..... will she stay or return to Earth and just who might want to ensure she does not see the next sunrise ?

This book is light hearted romance with characters who are likeable , without needing to be too deep ........ just the book to while away a lazy afternoon .

WOWSIE! This book was much more than I expected, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Juniper Jacobs, aka June, is from Earth. However, someone gets transported to a distant planet that may look similar to hers but holds many secrets. June comes face to face with a dragon King, and her world gets turned upside down.

King Tristan Okora inherited the throne from his father, who recently passed away unexpectedly. Hoping he had several more years before he had to take over. Tristan now has to take charge and figure out what this earthling is doing on his planet and whether or not he can let her go back home.

Will Tristan be able to keep June safe, or will she go home, and he will never see her again? Will June be able to make it off Tristan’s planet alive, or will someone make it, so she never leaves and never sees another sunrise?

“Didn’t you see how fast that thing moved? It was like a cheetah…if cheetahs had learned the forbidden art of Sonic the Hedgehog.”

You guys, the banter in this book was some of my favorite I have read this year. It was a comedy with romance with dragon shifting abilities and hot HOT scenes. June had a lot of things happen in her past that presented its ugly self again. It was heart-melting to see her with a young boy and show him love, when others hadn’t. I also loved reading Tristan, and it makes me want a dragon shifter lover of my own. Though on Tristan’s planet, there would be words that made me think of Jar Jar Binks. You have to read this book to understand!

I honestly can’t wait to read more of this series and see what else happens. I also really hope we go back to Tristan’s planet as I am hoping for more information about said world and people.

If one enjoys light science fiction romance and is looking for a fun, steamy escape for a few hours, look no further! Triston and Juniper are delightful characters. Each come with their own baggage that needs to be sorted but find an attraction that can’t be denied. I especially enjoyed the scene where they meet. Juniper has accidentally found herself in a space ship she has no idea how to commandeer, with no food and is looking at a slow death floating through outer-space. Tristan sees the ship as a hated enemy fighter who needs to be destroyed. What follows is absolutely delightful as each tries to unravel all the confusion!

I would love to have seen more depth in the story, especially in the characters, as everything stays pretty much surface only throughout the book. I’m not sure that isn’t intentional, however. Sometimes reading something where one doesn’t have to think that much, but only relax and enjoy might be just what the author wanted. If so, she succeeded in spades because for a light fun other-worldly romp, this one is an absolute winner.

I think this would be the perfect summer/beach read. It's a quick read with just the right amount of romance and adventure. It was a somewhat predictable story, but I actually enjoyed that because sometimes it's nice to just be able to read a book without feeling like you need to Sherlock Holmes the story to figure out what's coming.

While I enjoyed the basic story, I had too many problems with the book to recommend it. I will offer my thoughts and you are free do to whatever you want with them.
While I realize that this is a spinoff from the Shadow Quest series, there are too many assumptions that the reader has read that series. Someone who has not read that series need more background. Even someone who has read the series may need more background because it may have been a year or two since the previous series was read.
• Dragons, faeries, the stuff of Earth myths, where did they come from?
• Why do dragons have a Scottish accent?
• There is almost no detail on the Kayadon. Who are they? What are they? They attacked the Faerie castle early in the book and then had no further role. What was the purpose of that attack?
For that matter, what was the purpose bringing the Faiera into the story. In the end they had nothing to do with the larger plot.
Also, I didn't find much of a plot to sink my teeth into. There was lots of love making, not much else.
Why can dragons and humans understand each other? The whole spell thing is a bit much.
What happened to the fiancé and her father?
The epilogue was really just a teaser for the next book and had nothing to do with this story.

Tristan Okora is King of the Dragons. His world will be changed forever when he meets Juniper Jacobs an earthling who has accidentally been bought into space. They are both recovering from loss of family and see in each other sole mates. There is plenty of romance and action when they are betrayed and attacked by their own people. A surprise ending brings the story to a close well. I was given an arc of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this otherworldly romance. It was off the charts steamy with a sexy, complex hero. The heroine was amazing as well, capable of taking care of herself and somewhat resentful of overbearing arrogant males.

Tristan is convinced that the human is lying about how she acquired the ship. He's convinced she's an enemy spy and he refuses to let her get under his skin. But the Dragon King can't guard his heart against the woman who keeps him off-center.

Juniper only wants her life back. Being kidnapped first by a sentient alien ship, and then by an uncooperative male chauvinist is not her idea of a party. But the Dragon King's potent magic weaves its spell, and when he kisses her it wrecks her world.

I can't wait to read more by this author.

Sexy dragon shifters - need I say more? Acton and adventure and a beguiling love story. Enjoyed thoroughly and will be looking for more!

Absolutely loved this book. I read it in one sitting. It was fast paced, entertaining and dirty. The main characters Had a fun back and forth dialogue. I will be looking into other books by this author.

I love this author! Kiersten Fay is very skilled in creating amazing worlds that come to life in her writing. I started reading her with the Shadow Quest Series, please check it out! This novel was a little lighter on the world around our couple, but gave us just enough set them up strong.

June, our heroine, a puny little mortal that on a hike in the woods manages to stumble across a space ship and all the sudden she's in a world full of supernatural species. Luckily June has a strong backbone and manages to hold her own.

Tristan, our hero, is in a hard place when we first meet him, his father has died and he's gone from prince to king in a short timeframe while still mourning his father. So when these two come together world's collide. Their teasing and time together is really great to see, but they do drop into bed together fairly quickly. Which again, was a great read, but Fay does verbal foreplay well, so I wish there could have been more.

All in all this was a quick light read that handled our couple well. While as I said I would have loved to see more of the world developed in this book, it was still a really great read and I look forward to future books!

My views and opinions are my own and freely given.

From start to finish this book did not disappoint. You will find yourself experiencing gut wrenching emotions along with many highs and some lows. You will imagine this story playing out as if you are watching a movie. It is a one sitting read that you will not want to end. There are some hasty resolutions at the end of the book but hopefully more detail will be provided within the next book of the series.
