Dragon Scorned

by Juniper Rose

I was tired of hiding in the shadows, running away from the fate that haunted me.

Attending Willow Hollow University was supposed to be a way to start my life. The plan was to blend in, keep my head down, and graduate.

Fate had other plans, throwing me right into the path of the hunters and the dragons I couldn’t seem to stay away from.

The hunters wanted to capture me, take me to Moonbeam Corporation and use me in their sick and twisted test to ‘better the lives of supernaturals’.

The dragons just wanted me as theirs. With the female dragon population so low I didn’t know if I could trust what they say.

Willow Hollow was supposed to be my salvation…instead it might be the very thing that destroys me.

This book follows the story of River who attends a college for supernatural creatures. River and her friend Natalia have been on the move for along time in order to avoid being captured. Of course , her first day of school she meets a few guys who are more than they seem. As things unravel, River must come to terms with her fate as not only as a dragon, but as a mate to a bunch of hunky men. As they try to figure out their relationships, the thing they feared most comes knocking on their door.
If you like dragons, fated mates, reverse harem, fun & witty banter, then this book is for you .
This was a fast paced book , but I felt like the majority revolved more around the relationships. I feel like it took awhile to get to a turning point and more into the plot of book. This book ends on a cliffhanger so I definitely want to see what happens next :)

Character Development:3/5
Plot:2/5
Spice: 3/5

Dragons, why choose, and a galaxy dragon oh my!!!! This book is amazing you have a FMC who is a dragon shifter on the run. She goes to a special school to learn about her dragon and when she starts feeling attraction to several men some are not who they seem, and a best friend who would do anything for her. Her mates are possessive but there's a problem one of her mates belongs to be horde that is trying to capture her. Finding out why they want her so bad may unlock alot of questions but will she like the answers. This book is fast pace, full of spice, and betrayal of the deepest kind. Go read this phenomenal book and Bravo Juniper Rose I'm so friggin proud of you.

I absolutely loved this fast paced story following River and her fated mates. She’s a young Dragon who has been protected and sheltered all her life. That could prove to be very dangerous. The author provided an awesome playlist to go along with the book! Lots of action, fated mates, dragons, witches, magic and spice!
The dedication got me……
‘For those girls, like me, who read all the dragon books and wanted more dragons. This one is full of the giant, overgrown lizards we love, and don’t worry….. I didn’t leave out their massive c*cks.’

This is fast paced spicy book. This involves River and her fated mates. River is a young dragon shifter that has always been sheltered her whole life. She must attend a special school to learn more about her dragon and how to control it. This book has dragons, witches, and magic, what more could you ask for? It goes end on a cliffhanger and is bittersweet but at least we know there is more to come. I do wish it would have had more character development but overall, it was a good book.

This was a great read to help me get out of a reading slump. It has a massive twist that you don't see coming and a cliffhanger at the end that will have you hanging on by a thread.

I was grateful to accept an ARC copy of this book. It was very fast paced. Why choose fated mates and the spiciness is very much there I absolutely loved it. This is a must read for sure.

Got me at Dragon shifters! Then lure me with fated mates and reverse harem, what is not to like? Do be aware of the trigger warnings. I loved the dedication. * insert devious smirk* This is a "college romance" that takes our protagonist in a journey to understand her powers, heritage and herself. You will be at the edge of your seat while unfolding the secrets that been hidden from River and from society. What kind of dangers lurk around our FMC that could turn her world upside down. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book. PS. We all need a friend like Natalia!

OMG!!! This fast-paced book following River and her MATES was one that I couldn't put down for long!! The twists and turns keep you on edge! There were several references that reminded me of other book boyfriends. And just like River, I fell for each one of her mates!!! Be wary of the cliffhanger though!!! The playlist for this book is also FIRE, and I HIGHLY recommend listening to it while reading!!! Juniper's writing style makes for an easy and captivating read, and she keeps you wanting for more!! I will be anxiously waiting for the next book!!!
