Dragons Guide to Space Dating #1
Crazy, Rich, Space Dragons
She needs a man like she needs a meteor to the head.
Aurora's idea of romance includes dodging meteors, not catching feelings.
Marriage is the last thing on Aurora's mind, especially when it involves a dominate jerk from a distant colony. Despite her seemingly idyllic life, she's trapped in the shadows of her father's privileges, yearning for the freedoms denied to her.
Dragons on this alien planet are as egotistical as the human males she's dealt with, pushing Aurora to her limits. Celebrating two centuries of colonization feels like a hollow gesture on a world not so different from Earth, a place she's never truly experienced.
Dreaming of breaking free from the confinements of domed cities, Aurora dreams of escape. The catch? The only path out is by mating a dragon, an option she’d rather not. Even when one claims she’s his fate.
Amidst meteor showers and soaring emotions, Aurora must navigate between a future planned for her or one she never saw coming. She will have to choose between tradition or embracing a connection as fiery as the stars.

Honestly, it was kinda awful… I was quite excited to dive into this book too. I skimmed it after hitting 30% mark and all the way to the end. The h came off spoiled and entitled and the H came off as immature and juvenile. I can’t tell who is speaking sometimes and it’s becoming a pet peeve. And I was confused, the H was calling the other dragon lords friends one moment, then brothers and because there was no actual introduction to those characters, just the H throwing their names around when it came up. Don’t even get me started on the world building because there was none, just a quick vague sentence from the h mentioning her lessons on the six dragon lords and the colony.

Aurora is the descendant of humans who were brought to the planet to live in domed cities by the dragon shifters. The dragon shifter lost all their females and human females were compatible. The agreement made with the humans stated they would be able to live safely on the planet under the protection of the dragons as long as dragons had first choice of the human females to become their mate. Aurora is the daughter of one of the human lords. She has been raised totally sheltered and powerless. She hates being under her father's control. Her dad plans to sell her off to a lord from a neighboring dome and Aurora is furious. She wants her freedom. She is about to temporarily escape to the market to explore when she runs into Ciro, a dragon shifter. When Ciro shows up at her engagement party that night to claim her as his mate, she is livid. She doesn't need another male to tell her what to do!
Ciro is about to take over as king of the territory but first he must find his mate. He and his brothers are about to visit all the cities on the planet in hopes of finding his mate. They are at the market when he scents his mate. He follows the scent to Aurora but she doesn't seem to be willing to fall in line with his plans. He goes to the party at Aurora's house to claim her but he soon finds out that things are going as planned. Neither Aurora or her father are acting as expected. Now he has to win his mate over while trying to figure out what unseen plots are about.

Among the many things I love about this book one of my favorite things is the space cat and space dog friendship. I read this snippet and my heart absolutely MELTED. "That was when I saw the fiery red and orange and purple of Ember's fur rubbing up against the beast. I sat up slowly, trying to keep the thing in my sight, making my neck hurt as I craned around to watch them. I slowly shifted my body, trying to see everything a bit more clearly. The bed was shaking, and it was because the damn hound's tail was whipping so hard its entire butt was moving. And there was Ember, well, petting him in a way, her little paws kneading at his side now. "What in the world, Ember? He isn't your species, you know that, right?" She didn't care and kept pawing at him. The thing sat his ass down, and his long hairy tail was at least still so that I was able to try to get closer."
This book is full of obsession that's only cute because it's sci-fi romance (but it's SO GOOD here), excellent world building, and fun elements of both royal court intrigue and shifter pack politics but in space and from a self satisfied set of dragons. Absolutely phenomenal read. 5/5 Stars!.

'I was something to Ciro. I was worth the risks he was taking. I was worth waiting for an answer.
I was worthy of a dragon. The goddess had made me for more than just silence and obedience.
I was more than just a bargaining chip.'
Dragon shifter aliens? Yes please! I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I was hooked to this world setup and these characters. And I loved Ciro. The scene with him taking charge after Aurora's father decided and announced her engagement was one of my favorites. I was smiling so much I had to read it twice. The story was fun and exciting. I loved the telepathic communication abilities between the bonded brothers. I loved the supporting characters. The chemistry between Aurora and Ciro was sizzling. A wonderful read. This is the first book I've read by this author. I can't wait to read Tarek's story next. 5 stars.

Crazy, Rich, Space Dragons was a fun story featuring feisty MFC Aurora who is trying to escape from her fathers arranged marriage plans when she is waylaid by a couple of human miscreants.
In another part of town on the way to attend the human bicentennial celebration MMC Prince Ciro catches a whiff of something that has his inner dragon on the prowl, and arrives just in time to rescue what soon turns out to be his fated mate, Aurora!
The story had intrigue, spice, good world building, and a little adventure which kept me engaged while enjoying this fast paced passionate read.
Looking forward to Tarek’s story next!.

Borrowed from Kindle Unlimited.
Ok, the premise was interesting enough I stuck it out to the end even when I started to get bogged down. However, the writing was not very good - misspellings, bad grammar, oddly phrased sentences that had to be re-read to figure out what she meant. Then the ending just came out of left field.
Also, while they were hot for each other and fated mates, there wasn't anything in particular that seemed like it made them make sense together or even that they got to know each other.
The more I think about this book, the more I regret having read it. Definitely will not read the next one.

Ciro realizes that Aurora is his mate, but her father has promised her to another human noble and he’s not about to lose his mate. Aurora worries that having to be wife to anyone is simply going to be yet another cage but as she gets to know Ciro she realizes that he offers her a freedom she’s never known. Things heat up between Ciro and Aurora, even as her father and her intended seem to be involved in some kind of nefarious plan. Hot and steamy dragon-human fated mates romance with lots of action, adventure, and unexpected turns.

This was a great series opener that brings us new cultures, worlds, creatures and rules, but best of all, it brings us dragons ;D Aurora is a pawn in her father's power goals but when she gets rescued by Ciro, a connection is sparked to life. He knows she's meant to be his mate but she has a hard struggle to sort out: her attraction to him and the feeling that she's just another pawn, only with a dragon husband rather than a human one. Well, the adventures, dangers and twists quickly show her the difference and she's all-in...too bad her father didn't get that note ;) I really enjoyed how this series is shaping up and look forward to more brothers finding their fated mate :D

I enjoyed reading this story!! Aurora ran away and found herself in a sticky situation and is rescued by a mysterious stranger. Ciro saved his mate now he has to find her to claim her as his own. When he does, her father has plans for her and is promised to another. That will not do!! Insta-love romance story, captivating read from the start. Michelle is a extraordinary author that I highly recommend! First book in the series and quite interested to see where it goes. This is a must read if you love yourself an amazing Dragon shifter romance!!.

It’s very badly written. Almost no worldbuilding, except a few elements mentioned in passing but never explained, stiff, unnatural dialogue that has no markers and makes it difficult, if not impossible, to identify the speaker, and bland, inconsistent characters. Nothing and nobody is described in much detail, if even described at all. The little plot this has is drawn out so much, with a lot of unnecessary scenes that could easily be removed or summarized in one sentence, and nothing would be missed. I don't know why I read as much as I did. I wanted to DNF around the first third, but I guess I kept hoping it would get better. It didn’t. DNF 50%

I was surprised at how good this actually was. I read it for fun and was totally expecting the alien dragon alpha-hole to by a mysogenist, especially when he kept calling the humans pets but it was amazing.
H was thoughtful and a little cheesy, I think it was dual-virgin but his history wasn't explored and sometimes that's just better. I mean, nothing kills the sexy vibe more than H recounting his sordid history. The spice was spicy, the suspense was suspenseful and the there was no obvious plot holes. For an alien shifter book, it raised the bar.

Space Dragons continues
We are now back on the home world Pyroth. It’s not long after the Crimson group return from earth. It seems like a year at most maybe less. The first surprise is that the Dragons already have humans on the planet. They have had groups of humans for centuries.
We are introduced to a new set of 6 “brothers “ in search for brides. However, some power hungry humans have been conspiring with other species to take over Pyroth. A nice start for more dragon love.

Good
Aurora is all set to be sold off to the highest bidder as a bride, when the high king’s son declares she is his fated mate.
Dragon shifters rule their world, but not everyone is happy about it…
A quick, steamy romance, featuring large, protective dragon shifters and their human mates.
There are a few steamy scenes, a little action, and some complicated politics, which all conspire to make for an entertaining read for sci-fi romance lovers.

overall just ok
For me the book was ok. Started off interesting with a newish plot idea. The characters seemed like I would enjoy them but as the story went on it just lost my interest. I don’t know if it was because it seemed very cliché or if it was because it felt like the author rushed through to get to the end. Started off fine but I wonder if a few more look at to really allow the story to build and interest the reader would not have been best.

First off, in my opinion, this book is not as good as the first series “Space Dragons Seek Mates”. That being said, it is still a good book. Ciro and his mate Aurora have quite a few obstacles to overcome before their HEA. The story moves along quickly and holds your attention.

Humans were brought to another planet long, long ago. Because they need females. Fated mates, greedy, power hungry men and of course nasty aliens stealing the people for power. Fun times all around.

Loved this series starter.
Aurora is more than a little tired of being kept in a proverbial cage by her father. But will mating with the dragon king, Ciro, be any better? When a goddess selects the perfect mate, though, nothing and no one will stand in the way of fate, including an evil father. I loved the steam and action.
