Tristan Okora, king of the dragon shifters, discovers a beautiful human female aboard an enemy vessel. He offers his protection until she can be safely returned to Earth. When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Kiersten Fay is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book

Well well well..... that was absolutely freakin awesome! How sweet, sexy HOT every page was, I was completely enthralled. These characters are so perfectly written, with such a fascinating storyline I could not put this down. I’m not surprised I have read other books from this author but hot damn this may be my favorite. I anxiously look forward to reading more into this new world of dragons.

Tristan inherited the throne when his father was killed by an enemy they hate. He's not comfortable with his new title yet and he needs to form an alliance with a female he hardly know because mating with her will strengthen his throne and position even if he's not looking forward to it.

Juniper is from Earth but while out on a hike one day stumbles onto an alien ship and when it takes off for outer space she thinks her days are numbered. When Tristan's ship starts firing at her because she on the type of ship that killed his father, she thinks times up and she's going to die.

Tristan is a dragon shifter, he finds Juniper (June) on a ship and agrees to take her back to Earth but there's something about her that attracts him to her the more time they spend together. She's like a kid seeing all these new things for the first time and Tristan likes watching her experience his world for the first time.

The longer they spend together, the more time Tristan wants to spend with her but he knows that he'll have to give her up at some point and he's not looking forward to that. But they spend more and more time together which some of the staff don't like because she's human I guess. But that doesn't stop the fireworks from going off every time they're together. There's a small amount of his people that believe a rumor that Tristan had something to do with his father's death which causes a big problem from which a huge twist is thrown at us. It was a good twist though and I didn't see it coming or the after effects of what would happen because of it.

I do love this author's books and I will keep reading them as long as she writes them. .

Disclosure: I was given an ARC of this book via NetGalley but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Tempting the Dragon King is the first book in Kiersten Fay’s Dragon Lords, and is packed with suspense, drama and combustible chemistry. Sci Fi is not usually my chosen genre, but Ms Fay does an excellent job of keeping the reader enthralled and entertained throughout the entire story. Interesting world building, twists and turns, and great character portrayals are all combined to ensure a fabulous read. I look forward to the next in the series.

This is the first book in a spin off from the Shadow Quest series. King Tristan Okora is an alien dragon. June is a human who gets trapped on a space ship. Tristan saves her and promises to take her back to Earth. They spend alot of time together and start to get to know each other and there is so much heat! I won't go into details but if you have ever read one of Fay's book then you know there is going to be some steam!

I really enjoyed this book. I think the world building is great and the characters are amazing. I am looking forward to the next book!

Tempting the Dragon King is the first book in the Dragon Lords series by Kiersten Fay. Tristan, a dragon shifter has been thrust into the position of King after the premature death of his father. When he meets Juniper, a human who found herself lost in space after being trapped aboard an abandoned spaceship she found when out walking, the attraction was instant but can Tristan tie himself to a woman who’s lifespan is measured in decades rather than the centuries of his own people – and you thought all you had to fear from a walk in the woods was the random bear or rabid squirrel!!!

In this book the main thing that draws the hero & heroine together other than the obvious sexual tension is that they are both wounded people burdened by the grief and guilt they feel over their respective losses – Tristan seeing his father die in battle and being unable to save him despite his best efforts and Juniper who lost her younger brother to a heroin addiction after an horrific childhood filled with abuse. The story itself is easy to read and drops hints of future plots for upcoming books such as the mysterious power hungry witches who also live on Legura. There are also several interesting secondary characters such as Orik, Tristan’s friend and his two brothers to the albino witch who saves the day when everything seems lost. I’m looking forward to perhaps reading more of these characters in any subsequent books in the Dragon Lords series.

This is a quick-paced and fun read about two lost souls who make each other whole again.The quick and humorous banter throughout the story is also a delight to read with plenty of action and adventure.

Although I hadn't realized that Tempting the Dragon King was a spinoff of the Shadow Quest Series, it was perfectly possible to read this one on your own. The only recognition I had where some of the names mentioned, but the story is a standalone. Juniper finds herself locked into a spaceship, when she accidentally starts up the thing as she discovered it during a hike. After being dragged into another ship and treated like an enemy, she finds herself stranded on an alien planet.
Tristan is a dragon shifter, who recently became king. Now he is faced with an enemy spaceship with a strange woman aboard. Is she a spy for his enemy? Or is she stranded as she claims to be? Tristan feels conflicted, because he is drawn to the woman. When he takes her in for the time being, he and June can't deny their attraction. Sparks are flying, but Tristan has a fiancee at home. So, no future there. Or is there?
Find out for yourself in this hot read. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Kiersten for providing the arc.

ARC received for review

Great spin-off from the Shadow Quest series.

Tristan helped free Kyra and her sisters' world, Faieara, in The Demon's Retribution. Krya and him had a fling when they were "teenagers." Juniper/June stumbles onto one of the bad guys, Kayadon (who are seriously creepy), ships that was abandoned on earth, she pushes a button, and off she goes to Faieara. Tristan rescues her and they fall in love. I loved his mother. She was great. There's a bad guy trying to get rid of June when they see them falling for each other.

Now, the teaser for the next book has another Earthling doing the same thing. I hope all the books don't start that way. Maybe one of the brother's can hook up with a witchling on their world. I'm also hoping for Aiden's book and the Phase Nine race.

Tempting the Dragon King is a spinoff of the Shadow Quest series, picking up not long after the battle to save the Faieara on Evlon from the Kayadon, in which his father, King Mar, was killed. He is heading back towards Evlon for a celebration when he comes across Juniper (June) from Earth coming towards his ship in a Kayadon vessel. The attraction between the two is instantaneous and though he feels obligated to marry a neighboring planet's princess for status, soon realizes that June is the only woman for him. Dragon King is hot, action packed and contains an unexpected twist at the end. Great start to a new series - I am looking forward to reading the next.

I had a hard time connecting with this story.... may have to do with mood or the characters. Tristan witnesses his fathers death, and he becomes the next Dragon King on a sad note. Bearing that sadness he finds a single human aboard a ship that they take over. Feelings start to overwhelm Tristan over the tiny human and fate intercedes.

I felt there was too much genre....anyone? Dragon shifters? Science fiction? Space the final frontier! Juniper was her own blend of sassiness but does duty override fate?

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion!

An overwhelming attraction... an ugly rumor... a possibility of brand-new beginning. For June (Juniper), getting into the spaceship was just the first step in her journey. How she manages to survive and thrive is the thrill in the story.
Note: This is a spin-off story for the Shadow Quest series and some of the characters re-appear. While I always recommend reading stories in order, I don't believe it will be necessary to read one series in order to enjoy the other

Tempting the Dragon King is set in the same world as the Shadow Quest series, of which I've read the first book The Demon's Possession. I don't think it really matters if you have read any of those or not, although it does help to explain the world that this series takes place in.
Juniper, or June as she prefers to be known found herself trapped on an alien spaceship hurtling through space to who knows where. She didn't know that it was a space ship when she entered and she has no way of understanding the controls or getting home. She is intercepted by the king of the dragon shifter race who doesn't know if he can trust her or not. It soon becomes clear that there is something between them that draws them together.
Spaceships and the like aren't usually my thing, but I really enjoyed this story. June and Tristan make an interesting couple and lets face it a romance is a romance wherever it's set. As long as there's plenty of chemistry and you like the characters then it doesn't really matter where they live. That's certainly the case here. Tristan and June work well together and I enjoyed reading about their growing relationship.
This was a good read and I'd certainly be keen to read more in the series. The epilogue certainly suggests that there's more to come from this world.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I first became acquainted with the author when I received an ARC of The Demon's Possession from Netgalley. I enjoyed that book so much that I purchased the other books in the series though I have to admit that I was disappointed in the repetition of the story in Book 4 so I was a bit skeptical when I received this ARC.
This story picks up from where that series ended but begins a series about the dragon kings, allies to the faieara. While this story can be read alone I believe it might be better read after the shadow quest series.
Tristan is on his way to honor the alliance with the Faieara which is father died protected. On his way he runs into an enemy ship which when he stops and boards has only one occupant, a woman from earth who accidentally got trapped and shipped off space. For a shapeshifting dragon who's forgotten how to smile let alone laugh on the cusp of an arranged union for his Kingdom, Juniper Jones is a breath of fresh air.
Trouble is brewing in dragon land, his fiancée to be is in residence and yet Tristan can only focus on the enticing human who has him all twisted up. There's some adventure, an epic battle, a miracle and all ends happily after. Personally I did not feel this story is as strong as the Shadow Quest series that reeled me in. I do enjoy space opera and shape shifters so I may return for more in the future.

June finds herself on a crazy adventure when she sets foot in an alien space craft that takes off with her in it. She has survived a lot of heartbreak in her life but she is strong and capable. Tristan can't help but be attracted to her even though he should marry to secure his kingdom.

Danger surrounds them when they return to Legura and some of his people plot against him. While Tristan and June's story has an HEA, the mastermind of who is causing trouble in the kingdom hasn't been reveal. Looking forward to the next story, kind of hope it is Orik!

This series is a spin off from Shadow Quest.

I had a major problem connecting with this story somehow it just didn't work for me and I can't even tell you why I didn't like either of the main characters either

Juniper Jacobs is trying to make her way back yo earth when she is rescued by Tristan Okora, king of the dragon shifters the attraction between them is instant and the more time he spends with her the more he wants her but he is betrothed to a with a neighboring princess something his kingdom needs Can he put them all in danger by mating with the human or will he have to walk away.

Dragon shifter King Tristan Okora finds someone very unexpected in an enemy spaceship while journeying to an allied planet. Juniper Jacobs is a freaked-out Earth woman who accidentally became trapped in an alien ship that sent her hurtling into space on a wild ride. When Tristan discovers June, he intends to return her to Earth, but circumstances get in the way causing him to keep this mortal with him.

June is quite attracted to the dragon king; however, he is immortal and she…is not. Although she is very drawn to Tristan, June’s complicated past, and their obvious disparities keep her from fully embracing all that seems on offer. Tristan has issues in his kingdom including false rumors and a would-be fiancée who is not amused at a puny by dragon standards interloper. With several challenges ahead of them, Tristan and June become more entranced with one another despite the many seemingly impossible barriers overcome.

Tristan is surprisingly more in touch with his feelings than dragons of tend to be. He does not seem very kingly but then, Tristan is new to the kingship after a sudden loss. June has some issues from her childhood that have been haunting her for quite a while, but now she has a chance to put those ghosts to rest. First in a spinoff series, this book can be read as a standalone. Fans of Sci-Fi romance and dragons will likely enjoy this light read.

Tempting the Dragon King is part of a new series I have not had the opportunity to read her other series. I just saw dragon and was like “gimme”. Unfortunately, I was let down, do not get me wrong Tempting the Dragon King is a sexy and fun read, I was just hoping for more. For an alien romance you sure do not get that outer space vibe and the world building could do some work. There is also some definite instalust our heroine falls for our hero pretty damn quickly.
Overall, Tempting the Dragon is a nice popcorn read, it is fun and keeps you entertained but don’t expect to be satiated.

I didn't like it, mostly the characters where not likable, the dialogues not well written and the plot was ...meeh.....maybe it was just not the right book for me, dragons in space is just too much....

Non mi é piaciuto, i personaggi non erano simpatici, i dialoghi ridicolil e la trama inesistente....forse non era il libbro per me, magari i draghi nello spazio sono proprio troppo.....

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This was a great entertaining read, fun, flirty and fast paced. I loved the characters, particularly Tristan (sexy, alpha and funny) just a wonderful paranormal romance. Addictive and entertaining, fabulous and I can’t wait for the next in the series
