Her Dragon King

Rate this book

Dragons and witches never mix, but she is mine.



My father’s sudden death means I have to select a wife.
A ball is set up with an invitation to all the dragon princesses.
I’m told I have to select a bride by the end of the night, but I’m not feeling it.

Until she steps into the room.
A woman who most certainly isn’t royalty.
My dragon roars to attention, recognizing her as my mate.

I ask her to dance to the disgust of everyone else.
I don’t care what they think.
I don’t care that my mate is a witch.
I don’t care that this will cause an uproar when the truth is revealed.

She needs my help to locate her family, and I can’t deny her anything.

I want to claim her and make her mine, but I have to win her trust.
Dark secrets behind her family’s capture will test our bond.
I'm determined to overcome the odds and claim her—no matter what.

Her Dragon King is the third book in the Royally Mated Series by Bianca Cole. This book is a safe story with no cliffhangers and a HEA with no cheating. This story has hot scenes and bad language, so if those kind of books offend you, you won’t like this one. It features a dream over the top possessive alpha dragon shifter.

224 pages, Kindle Edition

I thought that this was an excellent read. This book was a total swoon fest! Plenty of intense emotion and steam are combined with lots of tension, angst and drama to create a romance that easily ensnares you in its web. I loved the pairing of dragon shifter and witch, the forbidden element of their love, the amazing chemistry that simply sparked and sizzled across the pages and the wonderful characters. I am posting an independent, impartial review.

This is the third book in the royally mated series, but you don't need to read the previous books to follow the storyline.

In this book we have Aiden, the new king of the dragons. He's been told he needs to choose a bride, but despite his loneliness he only longs for his true mate. Enter Isla who is a witch searching for her family who went missing after meeting the previous dragon king. Isla sneaks into the room and instantly attracts the attention of Aiden.

We have an alpha dragon and a strong and caring heroine. I highly recommend this if you like a little mystery, some drama and a steamy romance!

This is a well written book with strong characters in Aiden and Ilsa. The author does a great job developing the story and pulls you in with all the action and danger as she takes them on an adventurous journey. She builds the tension even as she gives them a sizzling chemistry and hot passion as she brings a witch and dragon shifter together. The story is brought to life with her detailed and descriptive writing and had me hooked from start to finish reading.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

This one had a good plot!

This series smexy scenes are all pretty repetitive from what they do to the dialog that occurs during..so I tend to skim those parts. This book had a good plot and I was honestly worried for Ilsas family, I wasn't sure what we would find when they entered the prison. This book and Vlads have been my favorites so far.

Aiden has just lost his father. He was killed leaving Aiden as the new King of the dragon shifters. Its the day of his funeral when he reminded he needs a wife and they have set a ball so he can meet all the dragon princess. Aiden doesn't want a wife he doesn't even think he will find his mate and his anger is getting too much to bear. But on the night of the ball he knows his mate is there. She smells of strawberries and he needs to be with her.
llsa knows she shouldn't be at the ball but she has to speak to the new King. Her mother, father and brother have all gone missing and she knows they met with the old king before they disappeared. But the moment she sees him everything changes. Aiden talks to her about being his mate but it cant happen. She is a witch and he must marry a princess. But Aiden wont listen he ask her to trust him and llsa can no nothing but follow.
But this night changes everything.....
OMG their chemistry is explosive and electric. They just click, they bring out the best of each other. They are stronger together and they must stay strong in this fast paced book. Its a fantastic read I couldnt put it down. It was exciting and addictive it was a lush read!!!

Exciting! Ilsa sneaks into the dragon ball hoping to ask King Aiden to help find her mom, dad and brother. Her brother was scheduled to meet King Kendall, who insisted on the meeting, 2 days before he was killed. Aiden doesn't want to choose a bride during the ball, especially if she's not his mate. Tradition has royalty not mating outside their species. Happily, Aiden sents Ilsa and tracks her down. He takes her off for a bit of courting, but when he returns he surprises an attack against the royal dragon family. Aiden has to work to get Ilsa's cooperation. Secrets are revealed. Betrayals are revealed. Alliances formed. Loyalties are tested. Death and resurrection are suffered. Aiden's royal duties are not easy. The surprises keep on coming. Good story! Ilsa is brave. Aiden is hotheaded. They balance each other. Does Ilsa find her family? Does Aiden find his bride? Can Aiden recover from his dad's death? Nicely done!

So this is book 3 in the royally mated series and it is Aiden (dragon king) and Ilsa's (witch) story.
Aiden's father has just died and Aiden is being pushed to find a wife. Ilsa's family has disappeared and she has decided to go to Aiden for help. Her family was last seen heading to a meeting with Aiden's father. But what they are not expecting is to discover that Ilsa is Aiden's mate considering Dragons and Witches are forbidden to be together.
Like the previous books this book connects to the previous books and the storyline that runs through each book, plus its nice to have some of the previous characters back in this book.
Aiden and Ilsa are both strong characters and despite Ilsa's denial in the beginning they are drawn together and their relationship is strong and intense despite everything that happens in this book. This book is full of action and romance and it will keep you reading till the end. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I hadn’t read book 2 in this series but luckily this book can be read as a standalone and this is Aiden’s and Ilsa’s story. Aiden’s father the dragon king was murdered 3 days ago now it’s up to Aiden to take over from his father but Aiden’s aid told him to have a ball so he can pick out a dragon princess as his new queen but Aiden isn’t interested in anyone until she walks in. Ilsa’s family has gone missing she knew the dragon king had seen her brother but he’s dead so she is sneaking into the ball to talk to Aiden. Aiden spots Ilsa and Aiden’s dragon wants to come out because they both know that she is their mate he can also tell that she is a witch and they are at war but Aiden doesn’t care she will be his by the end of the night. I loved this story it’s a fantastic read and I highly recommend this book.

He may be her Dragon King but she is his Witchy Queen

Her Dragon King is the third book in the Royally Mated series by Bianca Cole. It is the story of King Aidan and Ilsa. She is a witch and he is a dragon shifter and together they are fated mates. But this story has a lot more going on as there are plots, family, betrayal, mystery, death, romance and of course some sexy chemistry.
This is a well written and entertaining PNR story with a couple great characters that I enjoyed reading.

I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

An excellent storyline. I finished reading this story in one sitting as it was so gripping that I had to find out what happens. There was plenty of steam and intense emotions. There is drama and tension and a romance between a Dragon Prince and a Witch. Will the prince help her find her family? Will they be able to have their HEA?

This is the story of Aiden and Isla. He is the new king of the dragons and searching for his mate. When Isla sneaks into the room searching for her family, she catches Aiden’s attention. He knows that she is the mate he’s been waiting for. Can this witch and dragon shifter be a match? I enjoyed this romance. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I did not want to put this book down. There were a couple twists that I did not see coming that made the story even better.

It was a good story. Loved the MCs. But it was a basic copy of the first book. The boxer briefs. The fast paced love. The story line of course was different. I found myself skimming just to get through it. I’m ashamed to say. I hate skimming.

Dnf 40%, sorry but this is a bust. The story progresses too fast, the MMC just witnesses a family member murder, his mate spends most of her energy on healing him and he shoves his cock down her throat 2 minutes later. It doesn't make much sense tbh.
