3.5 stars. Arik, the male dragon shifter lead, knows he’s found his mate in Ophelia, the female human lead. But unlike most other human mates, she’s the princess of her land and she can’t just disappear into his clan’s territory.
Then the next kingdom starts killing dragons for their magic and Arik thinks she’s betrayed him and disappears for two years. Ophelia knows she didn’t betray him and can’t understand why he disappeared but she hurries go bring him news that their enemy is bringing the fight to Arik’s people’s mountains. Disregarding her information, because his spies had kept him informed, Arik dismisses Ophelia into their mutual enemy’s hands. Now she needs to be assisted, they need to overthrow their enemy, and Arik needs to win Ophelia’s forgiveness.
This novella is dual POV, well written, and a fast-paced dragon shifter/human romance novella. I enjoyed Ophelia’s calm patience, confidence, and persistence. I enjoyed Arik’s care for her, even though I didn’t appreciate his assumptions and that he didn’t communicate with her before disappearing. I didn’t enjoy that he didn’t appear to significantly repent for what he’d done to her and their communities. I enjoyed the intimate scenes and the resolution but felt she forgave him far too fast.

In this captivating dragon-human romance audiobook, Arik, a dragon chieftain, and Ophelia, a human princess, are destined mates facing a world on the brink. Arik's quest for revenge against humans harvesting dragon magic tests their matehood bonds. Ophelia, armed with patience and determination, races to prevent a catastrophic clash. Michael Gallagher and Leeann Woodward's narration brings steamy intensity to this fast-paced novella. While Arik's assumptions and lack of communication add tension, Ophelia's resilience shines. The story unfolds with vivid scenes, but forgiveness feels rushed. Megan Landon delivers a compelling world of dragon and human royalty, leaving me eager to explore more of her work in this enticing realm.
I bought a copy of this book from the author at a local event this weekend and it was worth every penny. I loved the FMC! I love how she carried herself and her personality. She really is written like a Queen. Arik is a good MMC but I dont feel we got to know him as well as Ophelia. I would have loved to have gotten more sense of who he was. The spicy scenes were well written and fit into the plot nicely. Overall I was really happy with this book and could have easily read a whole full size book on this.
3.5⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️Fated Mates✅Romantasy ✅Forbidden Romance ✅Second Chance ✅….For a book that was only 117 pages. I would like to say that it was written the way I wish all books are written. Spice from the very first chapter, enough world building and information about the main characters for you to imagine it in your head, and no extra fluff. The plot of the story was very cliché, and I felt like the chemistry between the two main characters wasn’t really there because it was very generic but still done right.
This book kinda feels like it stays in the middle. It can be a good thing as things are already heading up and can get more intense. The down side is that there is some catching up to build the world around the characters that needs to be done.
The author is able to do it, but I found some parts lacking in a clear explanation. Despite that, it was a good read.
