Dragons' Jewel

Nightflame Dragons, Book 1

By: Milly Taiden

Narrated by: Elizabeth Russell

Gianna Harris doesn't think twice when joining a program seeking surrogates for an alien shifter planet whose female population was decimated during war. It's better than grieving a mother who doesn't remember her. With tears, Gianna says her good-byes and then travels to planet Daeria, where she meets not one, but two sexy dragons who claim she's their mate.

As the dragon king and leader of the shifter council, Voss has a duty to rebuild the planet after a shifter war destroyed everything. The surrogate program was supposed to be simple. The female volunteers are assigned to the shifter species they want and are not forced to do anything they don't want.

When Voss caught the scent of one of the first females to arrive at the spaceport, he and his best friend, Azar, break a few rules to claim their true mate. They steal her away from the wolves she was assigned to. And a particular wolf wants her badly enough to start another war if she isn't turned over.

Contains mature themes.

the ending was disappointing.

did not like how it ended so suddenly. I feel like the writer gave up on this book.

Nice series

I would like to see what happens to the other Alpha pack leaders opposed to the other dragons. Are their stories out and I overlooked?

Cute and sexy

I liked this book. The dragon shifters were sexy and the women were all fantastic. It’s a cute short story with nice sexy bits. The very end is why I’m giving 4 instead of 5. Definitely rushed and incomplete. It wouldn’t have been hard give it a happy ending so I’m gonna pretend lol

standard

Review of audiobook borrowed through Audible Plus.
Possible Spoilers:
I’ve read and own multiple books by Milly Taiden so I’m familiar with her work. This is more polished so there was more editing BUT there’s less exuberance, less emotion & less sexy times. Not bad at all, but less engaging IMHO.
Russell has a pleasant enough voice but multiple mispronunciations are a real bugaboo for me. Rhys is pronounced Reese, not Rise. :::Sigh:::

This should be book 2

More information is given in book 2 then in this book. I think this should be book 2.
