Well this book has been added to my short list of dragon shifter books I love. I recently got into shifter romances and this met my needs. Kiersten Fay I will read every book you wrote from this point on and I have some catching up to do.

I received this arc from Net Galley. I was not really fond of the main female character and honestly couldn't tell if I was reading about her or her sister.

My Review
I received the book from NetGalley. This book is already available to purchase. It came out 25 Aug 2021.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I flew through it. I finished it within an hour of picking it up. It was such a fast-paced adventure that was so vividly written that I felt I was standing next to Onnika and Aidan, watching their story unfold.

Both Aidan and Onnika are jaded and emotionally scarred from things that happened in their life. These events have made them not the most trusting of souls. In fact, Onnika only trusts her sister while Aidan trust his crew mates whom he’s known for years. They have both closed themselves off from people and yet when they meet Aiden is instantly attracted Onnika though he doesn’t want to be. Onnika is attracted to Aiden as well, though she only sees this attraction as a means to an end at first. There is forced proximity in here (happy dance) as Onnika and Caryn join Aiden’s crew due to some fan-dangling on Onnika’s part.

I loved watching these two fight against their feelings for each other. Seeing them open up to one another was just beautiful. I also loved Aidan’s crew members and the proper sense of comradery between them all. I really, really liked the scenery in the book and the fact that the race, Phase Nine, was the focus of the book, along with Aiden and Onnika. The event seemed to take a backseat as the story went on in many of the books I have read. Phase Nine was dangerous and believe me, I felt the danger. Masterfully done.

My one complain? The book was too short! I wanted more!
Would I read more from Kiersten Fay? Hell yes! Would I read the rest of the books in the series? Without a doubt.
Until next time peace and happy reading.

Action packed adventure filled with witty and engaging charters, heart racing twists and emotionally thrilling passion. Really enjoyed this sweetly sexy and emotional journey from beginning to end.

Stealing the Dragon’s Heart was a fast-paced romantic adventure in space with dragons. The characters were great fun and really drove the story forward!

A paranormal feast!
This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. Filled with fiery chemistry, dragon shifters and a an intriguing backdrop of space. Onnika and Aidan are passionate, dangerous and utterly captivating. Kiersten Fay delivers a novel that is action packed, witty and with enough heated romance to simply overlook any misgivings you may have about storyline, setting or character choices.

I really enjoyed this! It was action packed and it made me swoon.

Aiden and Onnika are such compelling characters and I loved their relationship development. It felt natural and I loved how their personalities fit together like puzzle pieces. The author does an amazing job of making it convincing to the reader that they belong together.

Overall, this was another wonderful installment in the series and I can't wait to read the next one!

Stealing the dragons heart was an amazing read. I wish I could read it again for the very first time.

At the start of the story some things about Aiden, Onnika and Caryn were unclear to me. But just as every story progresses, you will understand every role and love the progress.

A steamy sci fi adventure romance! I loved that there was actually a pretty awesome plot, not just people hooking up. I loved the idea of the space race, and would read a book about that alone. Some male dragon shifters thrown in was awesome!
I went in not having read the first two book, and I didn’t feel at a loss having jumped into the third. I will go back and read the first two as I’m sure they are just as good!

Thank you to NetGalley, Kierstan Fay, and Victory Editing for a copy!

I loved this story. Was super fast paced, romance and action packed scenes. Great read I’d recommend to everyone.

The is a really fun and quick read.
A solid 4 star book, I really need to read the rest of the book sin the series!
Our FMC is your typical sunshine heroine however she's also a little on the wild side while the MMC is the typical grump! This is a story that you will have a really fun time reading, I personally couldn't put it down! A perfect quick summer read!

A thrilling read from start to finish.

It was a refreshing spin on the space-race styled adventure that added a wonderful air of suspense to the story, building on the already gripping run from captivity of Onnika and Caryn. The balance between damsel in distress and confident heroine in Onnika built an allure about her character that made it impossible to stop reading.

Stealing the Dragon's Heart has created a world that, at the end, had me looking for other Kiersten Fay novels to continue reading her writing.

What a lovely short read, I did really enjoy it. It kept me hooked from the start. I loved the connection between Onnika and Caryn. Thankyou again netgalley for the Arc of this. Had the correct amount of romance and storyline flowed so smoothly. Will definitely re read this again

This book is a short fast read - two magic wielding sisters fleeing slavers manage to get aboard a ship ...... a ship , captained by a dragon shifter , about to set out on a deadly race across the universe .
What could go wrong ?

What follows is a a perfect escapist novel - fast paced , twists and turns aplenty with just the right touch of romance ......... a thoroughly enjoyable read

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Stealing the Dragon’s Heart was a quick and short read. This a stand-alone in the Dragon Lords series but I did not read the previous two books prior to reading this one (although I probably will now). I enjoyed the characters, romance, and the off-world setting. I will probably read more from the author in the future.

Not really sure what the point of this being a dragon romance -- combining the genres of shifter and sci-fi really does not work in this story. There were none of the shifter tropes, it was confusing and could not feel the romance or connection between the two characters. I found it a bit boring and had to skim mostly just to get through it. Just really not for me.

Stealing the Dragon’s Heart (Dragon Lords) – Kiersten Fay



I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in order to provide an honest review.


Kiersten Fay is a best-selling American author of books such as the “Shadow Quest series” and her “Ever Nights Chronicles”. The author writes a lot of science fiction / paranormal romance novels.



Onnika and her sister Caryn have fallen on hard times. Slaves to a band of heartless, criminal thugs. Using the sisters and their special abilities to pull off heists, easy money for the crew – harsher conditions for the girls. That is until a set of events enabled the girls to escape the crew, and hopefully heading towards freedom.

So now the sisters must rely on skills they have learnt and honed over the years in order to survive. But as Caryn is the quiet and sensitive one, it yet again falls to Onnika to make sure they survive.

The planet the sisters have managed to escape to, is hosting the start of a very dangerous, yet very lucrative race. Here the sisters manage to make their way onto a crew, a crew that is captained by Aidan. The mysterious and surly captain who can also turn himself into a dragon. Unfortunately for the sisters Aidan is not the trusting type and this causes a few issues, yet as the race from checkpoint to checkpoint the sisters do their best to earn their place on the crew without giving away much of who they really are.

Which proves difficult as Onnika and Caryn discover that the leader of the thugs that held the sisters is after them and bent on having the sisters back under this cruel control. But can they gain the trust of the crew before they are captured by the thugs chasing them, or are they doomed to live a miserable life of slavery and pain.



“Stealing the Dragons Heart” is a short paranormal romance novel that was a real page turner. I found Kiersten Fay’s writing style to be similar to that of Sarah J Maas with a dash of JR Ward. It had what I love in a Sarah J Maas novel – strong female characters who end up fall for alpha type males that at first irritate them but they inevitably ending up falling for. With such intricate character arcs and a captivating story line, I really hope to be able to read more of Onnika and Aidan’s world.

This was a fun, engaging story that I didn't want to put down. Plenty of action and romance plus humor - a trifecta for me. This is book 3 in the Dragon Lords series but can be read as a stand alone book.

A mish mash of sci-fi and paranormal with dragon shifters, aliens and fae - in space! Plus a dangerous race with deadly competitions thrown in along the way. Even with all of that there was still plenty of levity and fun.

Aidan meets Onnika when she steals his wallet before the big race begins. And then again when her and her sister use their magic to manipulate their way onto his ship. But its too late to kick them off so they all go off on an adventure together. Along the way there is danger and laughter and the spark of romance, with never a dull moment in the story. I enjoyed the world building with the descriptions of the different spaceports and worlds, and the playful banter among the crew was enjoyable.

Onnika was the real star in this story doing what she does best - surviving. Whether its stealing, fighting or running away she always adapted to what was needed to protect her sister and herself, sometimes to the detriment of her own happiness. Aidan was a grumpy dragon shifter with a traumatic past of his own, but Onnika makes him feel more alive than he has in years, even if its because she drives him crazy.

I plan to read the previous books in this series and look forward to the next one.
