Alpha Dragon's Eagle

The Dragonfate Games #2

by Hawke Oakley

Will buried secrets ruin season two of the Dragonfate Games —or will the truth set fated mates free? After a whirlwind of controversy ten years ago, Matteo was done in the spotlight—or so he thought. He dropped his stage name, iconic costume, and celebrity status to live out a humble life as a golden eagle omega. But a second chance at the Dragonfate Games makes him yearn for his fated mate... and threatens to unearth a past he abandoned long ago. Thystle's been prickly since his favorite band broke up a decade ago. As a dragon who hoards music—and an alpha who crushed hard on the lead omega vocalist—the fallout left him devastated. He's never quite gotten over TalonStorm's dissolution, but could being the "prize" of a reality TV dating show lure his celebrity crush out of hiding? When Matteo arrives on the island again, the amethyst dragon bachelor makes his heart skip a beat. But he's not alone. The other omegas competing for Thystle's love are fiercer this time around. Matteo has to fight talon and wing to come out on top... all while keeping his past under wraps. Because if the truth comes out, he may lose his chance with Thystle forever. Alpha Dragon's Eagle is a fun, sweet mpreg novel with low angst and high stakes! Reading the series in order is recommended. No cheating, and fluffy HEA guaranteed.

This was cute, but not really what I need atm.

I have mixed feelings in the whole I knew I was fated to him thing.

Thing is, this trope is what happened in book #1 but I loved that book better than this. That trope didn’t work here I feel like I was reading a middle part of a book even though I was just in the prologue. I like development more I think and that obviously not the case here. Basically, this story lacked of development (characters and plot) that I didn’t have anything to swoon about. And I realized by 29% this was pretty much insta love.

It’s sad that this story didn’t focus much on the Dragonfate Games like the previous one. The way they already knew they were fated before the game and there was only like 2 competition overall didn’t help. I liked it, but I didn’t enjoy this story at all. It didn’t balance out the romance and the whole Talonstorm band story overshadowed it all.

I also skimmed most of their sex scenes.

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

I threw my dragon’s dignity out the window. I became something baser, a creature even more primal and crazed—a fanboy.

Another wildly entertaining book in this series. I am seriously enjoying Hawke Oakley's writing and storytelling. They're sweet and uncomplicated, fun and sweet, and hot. Matteo is a very ambitious character (tries to blow an actual dragon with a huge dong), but also likes to blend into the background. He has experienced being the center of attentio before and isn't that keen on doing it again. He just wants to find his fated mate.

Thystle is an actual emo dragon, which is both hilarious and adorable. This series is so relaxing and a nice break from reality. I'm already over halfway through book 3, and can't wait to continue. Definitely recommend.

Whoever said dragons were dignified never met a really horny one.

He angled his neck to stare at my hemipenes curiously. “So, are those going in next?” I snorted. “No.” He sounded a bit disappointed. “Why not?” “Because unless you want to turn into a Matteo-kebab, it’s physically impossible,” I explained.

“Thanks for saving my life. I was actually about to walk out into the ocean if one more stranger talked to me.”

Even my legendary whinging couldn’t stand up to the brute force of a cute baby.

Same formula as the first. But with music

[Audi♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

"He was clearly obsessed, but that obsession was seeded by pure passion and love—the kind only a fated mate could give."

Awww! Thystle, our sweet little Emo Boi knows his mate is Aquilla. The lead singer of his favorite band.
Can the producers of the Dragonfate games find Aquilla and bring him on the show? Maybe he's already there 🤭

HEHE, so dang cute! Locking talons, shifted spice, role playing, private concerts, and the most beautiful eggs I've ever read. I love this series!
I couldn't wait for Thystle to find out Matteo's big secret.

I'm fully invested in all the side characters. Muzzo and mousey Poppy even Alaric. Cobalt, the twins, and Viol! Tell me why the frickle frackle fuck everyone is so mean to sweetie pie Viol. Ugh, and his book isn't even out yet. 😭

The only part I'm bummed about is Thystle didn't show Matteo his hoard...Of him. That would have been cute.

"The cock Matteo sucked on was longer than the height of his entire body, but that didn’t stop him from worshipping the tip of it."

El mejor hasta el momento. Me enganchó de mala manera. ¿Encima el protagonista es fan de My Chemical Romance? Ya estoy conquistada. La objetividad en este libro se ha caído por el barranco. No me arrepiento.

[Milo (if lost, return to hot fictional character) · Rating 4 out of 5]

these are so trashy but im way too invested rn 😭✋🏼

[Poppy || Monster Lover · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very sweet instalove shifter romance. I’m still salty that we don’t get full blown shifted sexy times, but I’ll forgive the author. For now. Thystle was such a broody emo boi who needed to know that people actually cared about him and his interests. Poor thing carried that teen angst into his adult years. Matteo was a pretty laid back guy in general and so sweet. Like, why are all MCs named Matteo perfect? He also brought that switch energy, although I gotta say I preferred his dom vibe. Like, yes daddy! Anyway, the book is definitely fluffy and silly with minimal plot, so makes a good palate cleanser.

Spice: 3/5

Triggers: watching someone sleeping after breaking into their room, feelings of isolation, brief physical altercation, blood

[Jacquie Stewart · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened this time. While I wish the narrator was better at distinguishing between Cobalt and Kobald, the audio is good.

So fun

I've literally just finished, so I'm processing. For Alpha's Dragon's Eagle we get to see more of the brothers and get to know them better. I have an idea for Jade and Viol now and I'm excited for book 3.
Cobalt is next!
Matteo and Thystle were adorable together with Thystle, determined that he knew who his fated was, and sure he could get him into the games.
They had instant chemistry and their dynamic was hot

[Rishika Aggarwal · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book just as much as I liked the first one, and maybe even better.

Like book 1, this is very much an insta-love/fated mates story, but I found that I minded that less in this book than the last one. The characters were really fun, and I'm very much enjoying learning about the dragons' different hoards, from Saffron's suits to now Thystle's music.

The writing remains light and a lot of fun. I enjoyed the exploration of Thystle and Matteo's characters in this, and it was nice seeing how different they are from Saffron and Taylor. While the formula of the books remains the same, the characters are unique, and I enjoyed that fact. The dynamic between Thystle and Matteo was cute, and the chemistry between them was scorching. And the smut scenes were great, as per usual.

I also enjoyed learning more about Viol in this book. I'm really interested to see where the overaching plot of this series goes, and I'll definitely be back for the next book! (can't wait, given the hint we got with that name!)

4/5 stars for me on this one!

[Blibli · Rating 3 out of 5]

The people Who are watching that TV reality show must all be hopeless romantics, because that show doesn't have intrigue or Edge. I think That's good because then the book is not full of ups and downs and you can just relax.

They Will also believe they are rigged because OMG. The quizz test?? Like Thystle in not famous how are they going to know things about him?? It is so clerlay unfair, I know there ara YouTube videos and articles about the fraude of the dragonfate games. I imagine that the rest of shifters Will get that It is just fated mates and all that and you can't love anybody else, and Will totally get the feeling, but the humans?? For them the show is probably kinda boring and rigged.

Well ,to end, I really liked Viol in the last scenes I demand his book now. And with Poppy or I Will sue.

Pd: This is the second time in a year that I read something where Dragons have 2 dicks. Where is this idea from? Is this something widely accepted about Dragons?
Also, there was some kind of bestiality in this book and I am going to erase that from My mind, thank you.

[circexin · Rating 2 out of 5]

sadly i did not enjoy this as much as i did the first one. i wanted more of the game aspect but pretty much it was all about thystle’s long-term obsession with matteo which was fine. still going to continue with the rest of the series mainly bcos im interested on who will be Viol and Poppy’s fated mate!

[⋆ forest ˖ · Rating 2 out of 5]

i fear that this was TOO cringe. i mean, i finished it, but i wouldn’t really recommend this. UNLESS you like mpreg omegaverse, low bestiality, and emo bands.

• eagle shifter x dragon shifter
• fanboy x former rockstar
• 6 year age gap
• dating game show

Matteo and Thystle are super sweet together, I liked watching all there interactions. I still think Poppy and Viol are the ones i want to see the most though. Not much changed plot wise between this book and the last but they are fluffy fun and i did enjoy them.

The more I read this series the more I’ve started to like each one although it’s a little formulaic.

I can’t complain they’re all just so cozy?

[BrittReadsALot · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so good

Okay! the dragonFate games are fast becoming one of my absolute favorite series. I loved Thystle and his backstory, I loved learning more about all the brothers, including Viol(I can't wait for his story). Matteo coming back for the second season because he knew his mate was on the island was perfect. I loved how everything came out and I can't wait to learn more about Muzo! But poor poppy what will happen to poppy?

[☁️ sophie ·˚ ༘ ꒱ · Rating 2 out of 5]

First of all
Am I the only one who feels that some of the sex scenes are a little uncomfortable ? 😕
I just couldn’t read some of them in the first book and this one (take note that I have reared various types of smut) so 🤷‍♀️

[Kirstine Hansen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story was a mixed bag. On the one hand, it was great reading about Matteo's secret past as the masked rock god Aquila. Guy went to so much trouble keeping a low profile, even buying bland clothes! On the other hand, Thystle's obsession with Matteo/Aquila got annoying real fast, even creepy sometimes.

There were a bunch of things that didn't make sense, both with the competition and their stay on the island. Like the omegas keeping everyone at the hotel up with their drunken partying - and later, Thystle and Matteo having wild and screamy monkey sex at the same hotel, which is fine because the rooms are soundproof.

Not life changing stuff, just annoying. Also, I was disappointed the next book isn't about Alaric the cat shifter, since there's so much talk in this one about his personal growth and his yearning for a mate. Instead, we get one of Tyler's friends again.

Also-also, the book after that, number four, has a completely different guy as MMC. Justice for Aleric! /s

[Teresa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lighthearted

While it entertained and bored me in turns, there some really good spots to balance the very cringy and slightly disturbing sex scene - you’ll know what I mean if you read it! However, Thystle was adorable, Matteo sweet and I really liked them together. Not sure If I’ll continue the series though.

[Paula (lovebookscl) · Rating 3 out of 5]

No me gustó tanto como el primero, pero igual lo encontré entretenido y una buena lectura liviana para mis tiempos muertos (cuando viajo o estoy esperando).

Por sobre todo quiero leer el libro de poppy, Muzo y el gato

I'm still missing two volumes, but so far this is my fav. It has a bit more plot than the others, it's not just about children, but also about Matteo's backstory 😌🤝🏻

This series is kinda copy and paste and since I kinda love it I don’t care. Happy to keep reading these cuties fall in love.

1/5 on spice. 2/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears.

[Meagan (FranticVampireReads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alpha Dragon’s Eagle was so much fun! It was ridiculous and funny and absurd in all the right ways. I loved that this was super lighthearted and fluffy. Thystle and Matteo just made my heart so happy. They were so cute together and absolutely smitten with each other! I also loved that emo music was a huge part of their story. It made my millennial emo music loving heart so happy! This is just one of those books that will leave a smile on your face. This one is getting four out of five stars and I can’t wait to read the next one!

3.5 ⭐️

Disclaimer: I’m going to review it without spoilers at the top, then create a line and anything below that line will be spoilers. Do with that what you will.

Book 2 of the series, and I enjoyed this one even more! Mainly, because it made me cry a little 😂 Again, this series is a pretty easy read and somewhat predictable, but the concept is there and you fall in love with the couple very easily. Somehow, this author manages to make Instalove actually bearable. It’s not higher because although it’s a decent concept, there’s plenty of frustrations and the plot is very fast paced when this could be expanded to actually create rivalries and make the challenges not so skewed in the favor of the fated mate. This author actually presents something unique and doesn’t feed into my frustrations with the basicness that other authors tend to repeat. There’s so many unique qualities like physical features, roles, intimate encounters, unique spicy scenes, etc.

The same formula/structure is used in this book from a timing perspective. It works but it’s gonna get a little repetitive with so many books.

Here’s what I like:
- The fact that Thystle’s storyline was next in the series. Very unexpected from a presence in the first, but I liked that the author makes you fully guess the next brother in the series vs making it overly predictable who’s next or hinting at it.
- Mateo’s protective side very welcomed. He may be an omega, but he’s not weak.
- The dominant and sub dynamics that this book has.
- How intimate the author can make scenes, so even though it’s fast-paced and Instalove, you learn to care about their relationship quickly.
- The music hoard and everything tied to this plot was so good!
- Again, the unique shifters. And leaning into some of their traits throughout the book.
- Viol. I really cannot wait for his story. I just know it’s going to be good. But I love the brothers being scared of him or walking on eggshells and these omegas are just like “what? He’s sweet”. His protectiveness when they’re about to lay their eggs is so damn cute.

What I didn’t like:
- The hotel rooms are soundproof now? Convenient.
- The hyper focus on the couple. I wish there was more rivalry, the dragon having to entertain a date with another guy, jealousy, etc.
- Wish Taylor had made more of an appearance. Just because it isn’t his story this time, he does have friends in the season. You’d think he’d pop in to give advice or something.
- The features of the baby (we all know this is mpreg if you read the book summary) were a little lackluster this time around. I’d like to see more mixed coloring or something unique—i.e their parents clearly had all of them so they don’t NEED to match their parents.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
————————————————————


- I LOVED the 10-years ago storyline, pop star obsession, fanboy, etc. storyline. Him just knowing he needs to meet Aquila and proving his will by biting Cobalt. This was such a good storyline. It made the Instalove not so instant because of this.
- Thystle needed saved and Matteo being his bodyguard was so good.
- Thystle being described as average height. THANK YOU. I’m tired of all these massive men in books.
- The multiple fanboy sex scenes were SO hot. Like insaaaaanely hot. Finally an alpha that can be submissive. And damn, was he submissive. Him on his knees with Aquila was like next-level hot.
- Just like the first book, there’s the hotel break-in/showing up on the patio scene. I LOVED this one. He goes in just to stare at him, stroke his cheek, and when caught they just get in bed and go to sleep? So cute! It’s so intimate and just shows how much Thystle just wants to be by him.
- Thystle sleeping in and all that scene entailed…again, SO CUTE. And also hot. When he came just from Matteo’s pleasure/scream? Good boy 😈
- Talon winning nothing for his challenge. I know whose storyline this is and I was excited they changed it so the winner of challenges wasn’t the dragon’s choice…but then they went back on that and also didn’t do anything. I know he’s the rival but they could have had him on a date and badmouthing him or something?
- The dragon sex scene was a…choice. And not a good one. This was the one part that made me super uncomfy and I didn’t love at all.
- Favorite quote: “I recognize you’re a lust-crazed whore, but do not throw that,” he warned. “Put it down nicely.” // FUCKING HOT 🔥
