Dragons are cool and I like romance - what else can I say?

[b:Onyx Dragon|31228832|Onyx Dragon (Awakened Dragons, #1)|Terry Bolryder|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1469544757s/31228832.jpg|51885102] (Awakened Dragons, #1) by [a:Terry Bolryder|8583615|Terry Bolryder|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] is a Paranormal Romance.
True rating is 3.75 stars.
There is some great snarky humor.
The romance area was pretty good.
I liked both Erin and Isaac (Zach).
There are some editing errors, but not many.
The writing flows relatively smoothly. So it is a quick and easy read, although there was one area that tended to lag.
My main problem with the story is it didn't go far enough. There was a lot of room for some great action/adventure and suspense. Unfortunately, every time the tension built up, for some reason the author rushed through it.
I really liked it, but did not fall in love with it.
For the most part the story was good and a lot of fun to read.

3.75 Stars

This is a sweet, little, light and easy dragon romance.

It is adult/new adult.

Well written with an easy flow.

There is humor and very little tension of any kind.

I guess you could call this series a 'Quirky, amusing, moderately adult, paranormal romance.

There are a few typos/editing errors. Nothing that gets in the way of enjoying this quick, easy read.

A fun read.

3.25 Stars

Though I have these listed in the 'Adult' genre, they really are not overly graphic in any way. Truthfully, I have read some books considered YA that are more graphic and explicit then these are.

The writing is pretty smooth and flows easily. You will seldom find a typo or editing error.

These are very mild, fun and sweet paranormal dragon romances. Even the bad guy is not all that bad. Although the people he is involved with are freaky and nuts.

Red & Faye, the main characters in this one are fun and interesting. They may be my new favorites.

There is very little angst, tension, suspense nor drama in this story, nor the others up to this point. So you may find yourself a bit bored. However, they are fun and contain just a pinch of the above. They also have humor. Not enough to make you laugh your head off, but definitely enough to make you grin.

I recommend these for when you need some light reading that will warm your heart and put a smile on your face.

4 Stars

Very few editing, etc. problems and nothing that interfered with the flow of the story in any way.
Biggest problem with any of these is the 'Cheese' factor.
This one is my favorite so far.
They are light, sweet and easy reads. They make you smile, roll your eyes and smile again.
Truthfully, they barely make the 'Adult' genre. But, there is enough to satisfy a reader like me when I am in the mood for a quick, fun read. And these are definitely fun.
They are also great reads for those who want an adult read without it being erotic, dark. The language is also very clean. I don't remember seeing any 'F' bombs, etc.
They are perfect for after you have read a very tense book or are having a 'Book Hangover'.
When you read them you actually feel the stress leaving your body, lol.
They really are just 'FUN' reads and very enjoyable.

3.5 Stars

As usual, I really liked this story.
Fun, sweet, sappy.
This one seemed to have less suspense in it until close to the end.
Mostly just Amethyst trying to get his girl to accept him as his mate and both getting to know each other.
I liked both MC's.
The suspense at the end was super short and settled quick.
Now on to the last book in this omni-bus.
Emerald. He has actually been one of the bad guys in all the previous books.
And already I think it will be the most intriguing.

The dialog and flow was very stilted. This is my least favorite of the series.
It could have been the best. The humor was off. To much inner dialog.
The whole thing seemed rushed.
I was disappointed.

Synopsis:

He's a billionaire, and a bear, and he'd never let anything happen to his mate...

When billionaire tech mogul Ryder Hart returns to Bearstone Park to settle his family estate, he isn't expecting to meet a beautiful, full-figured accountant that stops him in his tracks and makes him think he's found a mate for the first time in his life. Now how to explain to her that he can turn into a bear without scaring her off?

Janna doesn't know what to make of the gorgeous, unbelievably tall, blue-eyed man suddenly pursuing her. She's still wary of men, and knows that Ryder is exactly the type of man who could wreak havoc on her heart. But when they wind up sharing a luxurious mountain lodge, and a few steaming hot kisses, she realizes this is one man who might be worth the risk.

But the mountains of Bearstone Park hold secrets, and Ryder may be the only one who can protect Janna from the dark forces threatening her.

Now Ryder just has to show Janna that men may be dogs, but bears rule the forest. And what a bearllionaire wants, a bearllionaire gets.


My review:

I love paranormal romance. This was just the read for a lazy weekend. Loved it!

Very nice story -- it unfolds somewhat over the course of the previous novel. While standalone, the previous does give a little background. Fairly quick moving. The sex is often hot.

Short story about a conflicted woman who only wants to mate for love and not to loose herself. Good plot development and storyline. I found the first person writing distracting at times in that it didn't have a seemless reading flow.

The storyline reminds me of the bachloret TV series. The story has a seamless flow with a few spelling errors. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.
