Dragon

Iron Vikings MC #5

by Anna Castor

Former sniper Dragon joined Iron Vikings MC Austin just in time to help Zeus overthrow his father and take over the gavel. With the club at war and Dragon now promoted as Sergeant at Arms, the last thing on his mind is a fairy-like blonde who couldn't be any more off-limits.

Joelle is far too innocent and sweet for a dirty bastard like Dragon. To make things worse, his club brother Fox practically raised Joelle and her twin Rosie, rightfully declaring them off-limits for any of his IVMC brothers.

Will Dragon be able to dodge Joelle's mesmerizing shock-stricken eyes during yet another lockdown as she follows his every move around the club with the sweetbutts? Or will he give into temptation and find out just how far he could go with this innocent blonde?

This book deals with open relationships in the club (sweetbutts), threesomes and voyeurism. The story contains violence, bad language as well as darker content some may find difficult to read.

A Love Story Throughout The Years

Dragon and Joelle met under terrible circumstances a long time ago and with the age difference things just weren’t feasible at that time but the caring Dragon made a big impression on the little girl. Dragon went off to war and became a sniper and once he was out all of this weighed heavily on his mind.
There has always been the golden rule on how you don’t date your brothers’ daughters. Dragon went off to war and became a sniper and once he was out all of this weighed heavily on his mind.

We follow these two over the years and how they were drawn back together many times but the timing was never right…until it was. I loved following their love story and all of the ups and downs to finally find an HEA. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this series.

Loved this one. Dragon and Joelle met years ago when she was 5 and Fox got her and her sister away from a horrible situation. As the years go by, they have encounters but nothing significant (even though they are both attracted to each other). I loved how we see what happens as the years go by and finally, finally these two get together even though Fox tries to end things before they begin.

She grew up in the MC, living with her uncle since the night her mother overdosed. She remembers seeing him for the first time, bee wa an awkward teen but still took time to comfort a little girl who had just lost everything she knew. She is all grown up now. He is back after a stint in the service, and he is just as drawn to her as he ever was. This is the 5th book in the series, and I am sorry to say my least favorite. Over the first half of book is time
Jumping to show how their connection has always drawn them to each other despite them staying away from each other because they knew it was forbidden. This makes for a very slow burn and lots of mutual pining. They don’t even talk to each other for the first half of the book. The story also goes over events that already happened in previous stories which becomes tedious if you have read the series in order as there is a lot of rehashing even if it is from a different character’s perspective. This book felt like it was only about 20% their actual story. I have loved reading this series, this just wasn’t my favorite of them.

I do love this series and eagerly await the new releases from this author

I loved Dragon and Joelle, especially how much of a teddy bear he was for her. I loved the build up over the years and how their story and love developed

Adored seeing fox as their dad and all he did for them, he was such a great dad to them

If anything I felt there wasn’t as much 🔥 here as there has been, the bar was set high with the other books and this felt….vanilla in comparison for me which was a shame given how involved dragon was in previous books.

All that got washed away really quickly too with very little explanation and I did think Joelle just tended to forgive him anything and was a tiny bit of a walkover

This book goes back in time a fair bit so you see glimpses of the other stories so not entirely standalone it really needs to be read in conjunction with the rest of the books

Still enjoyed it though and eager for Zion and Crush.

If you’re looking for safe and dislike MFM or sharing, this is not the series for you. But if you are able to keep an open mind, give it a try.
DRAGON is about Dragon and Joelle who have had an inexplicable connection since they were kids. Now Dragon is back from the military and Joelle is all grown up. The book happens concurrently with some previous events, and it helps to read the previous books (although it’s not necessary).
I liked both Joelle and Dragon (even if he’s a man Ho-ho-ho and doesn’t immediately change that after being with Joelle once). Joelle has a sweet heart and a quiet strength that I liked. And Dragon was hot (even if he was a man Ho-ho-ho).
The breakdown:
Triggers- cheating/sharing, violence, overheard overdose of illegal substances, implied physical abuse of minors, discussion of substance abuse and addiction, implied SA of side characters, lots of kidnapping.
Tropes- Instalove, She’s All Grown Up, Sharing Is Caring, Exhibitionism/Voyeurism, Second Chance.

Author Anna Castor has created a phenomenal MC romance that had me completely captivated from beginning to end. This is also the first book that I’ve had the pleasure to read by Anna Castor. I absolutely LOVED getting to know Dragon and Joelle as the main characters of this book. I will most definitely be checking out the other books from the Iron Vikings MC series. The chemistry between Dragon and Joelle to be undeniably irresistible. I absolutely love that Dragon and Joelle have a happily ever after to their amazing journey. This book is amazingly written, well balanced with action and romance, and beautifully executed by Anna Castor. Dragon is a book that is definitely a recommended book for anyone to checkout who enjoys reading MC romances. Dragon is quite suspenseful and most definitely a page turning MC romance.

So this was just an ok read for me. Fox takes in Joelle and her twin sister Rosie when they are 5. That's when Dragon meets Joelle for the first time. He gives her her teddy bear Chubby on the worst day of her young life. I would say the first half of this book is basically a repeat of everything that's happened in the previous books, but it was really more like 75% of the book. I had a very hard time getting into this one. There really wasn't any action to speak of it was mostly dragon going back and forth with his feelings for Joelle and her kinda doing her thing too. I don't know. I just didn't really enjoy this one. I hope the next book is going to be better with a lot of action. This is just my opinion.

Joelle and Rosie became part of the Iron Vikings when their mother overdosed, and their uncle brought them to live with him. Joelle had a connection with Dragon since they were kids, she is determined not to have anything to do with bad boys. After coming back from the service, Dragon is just as drawn to her as ever. But the rule about not dating a brother’s daughter keeps at bay for a while.
The book is a slow burn as it takes place over two years, the timing is not always right. This may be trigging for some as it has threesomes and cheating.

Unless you've followed the Iron Vikings, the pace of this story will be too fast to be fully enjoyed. It starts in the past when young Dragon and Joelle first meet and are introduced to the MC lifestyle. As they age and their surroundings have contributed to the adults they become, the drama from previous books is in the background. Events happen at a rapid pace without any real details. As I've followed the series from the beginning, I did not have an issue with it. I loved the inner turmoil Dragon and Joelle faced, especially when it came to family, brotherhood and their past.

[Staci · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dragon and Joelle’s story has them meeting years earlier but nothing could or did happen with them. But now many years later they are thrown back together at the clubhouse while on lockdown they will test each others limits on how long they will last before giving in to their mutual attraction even if she is supposed to be off limits as the daughters of a mc bro, even if he is the uncle that raised her and her twin).?.

Joelle and her sister are off limits raised by Fox as if his own kids but when Dragon joins the club and aids in the take over, things were just settling when the club locksdown, stuck in close proximity, their relationship evolves but it's not an easy one. Told with past and present, the story is engaging, a great addition to the series.

okay
I want to start off by saying I am a fan of this author, and will be continuing with the next book when it’s released.
The storyline was good, the book was mainly written about the past, when it got to present day, the angst had been built, but unfortunately for me (in my opinion) it fell flat, no real grovel or blow up with the hero and heroine, it felt a little rushed at the end, hence the 3 stars.

[Cody Marie Phoenix · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love it when a story is well written and fast moving! Dragon and Joelle's story fits the bill. The characters are worth investing time in to explore their drama and adventures. The storyline adds more to the continuous arc from the previous books so it might be wise to start the series from the beginning. Looking forward to Zion's story next.

Dragon becomes a part of the Iron Vikings MC and makes a connection with Joelle even though she is off limits because she and her twin were practically raised by one of his MC brothers. When they are forced into close proximity close encounters have walls coming down and feelings blossoming. Will Dragon be able to abide by his MC brother's request and stay away. This story had my emotions in overdrive.

[Leanne Bryson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fast paced, action packed read. Dragon and Joelle first meet under terrible circumstances a while ago. With the age difference between them things go nowhere. Years later, they meet again and things change. Full of sizzle, steam, action, drama, twists, and turns, and more. Dragon and Joelle are compelling, well written characters. A solid 4 star read.

[Sharon Collachi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as I wanted it to be.

Tired old trope of "I'm not good enough for you" coupled with "I only want what's best for you" (meaning, you, a grown woman, don't know what's best for yourself, only i know what's best for you). Everyone else is free to pursue whoever they want, but for no particular reason, our two main characters are not.

[TELA666 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Joelle and Dragon
I was looking forward to this with the angst & temptation seen in the series so far but it didn't live up to my expectation. It focused on the past A LOT and there wasn't a huge amount of them now, neither was it as steamy as Dragon has been shown to be before, so Joelle was missing out.

[Terri West · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. Quite enjoyable read, however the delivery was a bit 'lumpy' and the book needs a decent proof read and edit. Some scenes seemed rushed, with no real drama round the kidnappings, just boom all sorted. This meant that the plot has little depth beyond our couple. Ok but not great.

[Amy Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!
Loved reading Dragon. Joelle and Dragon’s story was emotional, action packed and the chemistry between them was steamy HOT and loved the ending. Such a good read, worth every minute and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book Zion to come out to see what happens next!!

[Jen S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finally!!

I feel like we waited for ages and ages for the next IVMC installment. I can not understand how Anna Castor's brain works that she can write these stories so far apart, yet they're running concurrently in the IVMC world. So talented.

[Wendy · Rating 2 out of 5]

meh

It’s like the author gave up on the story and ended it early without finishing. Sorry I bought this one.

[Dee Hardy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am so glad I am able to read more in this series. Anna has a wonderful way of telling a story that draws me in. I am looking forward to reading Rosie's story book 6 Zion when it comes out.

[Mrs Cross · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love!!!

I loved this book! The emotional rollercoaster between the main characters was so raw… so real. Amazing story and terrific ending. I can’t wait for the next books!!!

[Suzanne Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutly love this series and the guys from IVMC.This edition is another brilliant edition.

Dragon and Joelle have a history as he helped her on the darkest night of her life when he was only young himself. Always keeping an eye on her growing up their paths crossed as he Dragon served his time in the miliary and came home on leave. When Dragon returned to the IVMC and they found themselves living under the same roof during club lockdown they finally address their feelings.

Can they create a life they both deserve, even if its without each other?

[Googly55 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ugh, I thought this was going to be better than the previous installments in this series…Sadly, it was more of the same. Huge man-whore/damaged soldier Dragon is just too messed up for Joelle. He has deep feelings for her but is threatened by Joelle’s uncle and convinced by his friend that he needs to step away from Joelle. And step away he does. Within an hour of finally having sex with Joelle he decides to flirt with one of the club whores (to push Joelle away). -"Maybe we’ll see what happens tonight, sexy," Dragon murmured, his voice thick with the kind of confidence that made Joelle’s skin crawl. "When you join me in my room." 🙄

Then she hears about him having a threesome with one of her best friends (Amara) and his MC brother Wolf. (And he fucking laughs about it later when she mentions that Amara is her friend.) The h has zero backbone and no self respect.

H proceeded to fuck all the whores and any of the MC couples who ask him to participate with them. -‘He’d tried to get over her. Fucked anyone who offered. Threeways with brothers and their Old Ladies. Nothing mattered to him anymore. He’d tried everything and anyone to get him over his haunting thoughts of Joelle.” Aww, poor Dragon. He pushes Joelle away and has to get over her by having sex with EVERYONE in the MC!! 🤮
