Paranormal Dating Agency #89
Shifting the Flame
She’s got a clipboard, zero chill, and a deadline from hell. He’s a dragon shifter with control issues, a crumbling festival, and no clue what gluten-free even means.
Danica Ulrich does not do distractions... especially not ones with smoldering eyes, ancient traditions, or scales. But when matchmaking legend Gerri Wilder sends her to rescue a small-town festival in the middle of nowhere Louisiana, Danica signs up for the chaos... assuming it’ll look good on her resume, not change her life.
Asher Ectorius is alpha, mayor, and deeply allergic to glitter. Planning parties isn’t his thing. Neither is falling for a bossy, curve-hugging human who storms into his town like she owns the place. Too bad fate has other plans - and Gerri’s already set the guest list.
Now the banners are crooked, the fire dancers are missing, and the sparks between Danica and Asher might burn down more than the stage.
Because when a dragon meets his match, even the best-laid plans go up in flames.

Gerri Wilder weaves her matchmakers web, a dragon shifter and party planner
Gerri at her very best once again as she brings together two unsuspecting souls a Dragon shifter and party and events planner who has signed up for far more than she ever could have suspected.
Danica Ulrich is a contacted by the renowned Gerri Wilder that has a reputation that ensures if you are on her books then you should never be short of a party to plan or an event to organise and so she accepts helping to arrange a small-town festival that is in Louisiana, she is always up for a challenge but she could never have foreseen how this would turn out.
Asher Ectorius is the Alpha, Mayor of the town and is not at all happy about having to arrange the most important celebration in the little town. He is totally unprepared for the whirlwind that Gerri Wilder sends to help, Danica in her figure-hugging clothes, a figure for sin and an attitude that will not take no for an answer.
Gerri has already arranged the guest list and it is a veritable whos who and it is essential that he is seen to have put on a celebration that shows his town at its best and him as the Mayor as a proficient party planner so that he retains his seat as the town Mayor.
His Dragon shifter self is more that a little interested in Danica and is ensuring that he knows she is his mate, this is a fun filled action filled read with plenty of magic and Gerri adding just the right sprinkle of mischief.
A fantastic read.
thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

This is a great story about an event planner and a dragon alpha. Danica is busy trying to take her business to the next level when Gerri turns up and whisks her off to save a dragon festival. Asher has been trying to plan and manage his clutch's Founder's Festival, and failing miserably. He is almost out of time when Gerri turns up with a human woman to save his dragon butt. She has brought him not only a party planner extraordinaire, but his fated mate. Unfortunately, there is someone in his clutch that doesn't want a human as the Alpha's mate, and they aren't afraid to take things to the extreme.
Love, danger, and dragons. What more could you ask for? I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

I loved this book! Another Gerri Wilder match complete. Danica & Asher make a cute couple. Danica is an event planner and Asher is Mayor/Alpha of the dragons. Gerri brings them together to help each other and because they are mates. But someone doesn’t want them together and will kill to keep them apart. Even though someone is going against them they fall in love. Danica still gets the festival planned in record time. This book has suspense, drama and love in it. You keep reading to find out what happens next. Does the town go against her or not? What happens to the someone who doesn’t want them together? The question is does the town believe her or the someone trying to keep them apart? You’ll need to read the book to find out what happens. I received this free ARC copy for my review.

Asher & Danica
Party planner queen. No matter what obstacles they put in her way, no matter how little time they give, she gets it done. When Gerri asks her to plan a festival on short notice in a place she's never heard of, she can't refuse. The surprises aren't just for the client. She had no idea this job would change her life,
Everyone said it was past time for him to get a mate. They were predicting the future. But, a human mate? Would his dragon clutch accept her?
She did a great job...until...no spoilers, read the excitement. Then prepare for another surprise for them all.
I thoroughly enjoyed another winner by Millie. You will too.

Love this series!
Gerri Wilder is back with another perfect match between party planner, Danica, and dragon shifter, Asher. With his town’s most important festival in unplanned shambles, Asher needs help fast. Fortunately, Gerri swept in with magical efficiency and perfect timing, bringing his secluded town the answer to all his problems.
While they initially clashed as much as they were drawn together, Danica and Asher pull together the most successful festival the town has seen in recent history. Until manufactured tragedy strikes, leading to Danica being accused of murder… The reveal of the mastermind behind the plot, while an expected source, was well written and highly anticipated. The final battle, just the right amount of action, before the fated mates could seal their bond.
I have loved each book in this series and this one was no exception. Can’t wait for the next one!

Danica is an event planner who is about to meet her future for a yearly festival in a little town called Ectorius a dragon paranormal suspense thriller. Lots of mayhem, danger, murder.
Asher is the alpha and Mayor of Ectorius who is not looking for a mate but help in making sure that the festival is all planned and implemented by the deadline and Gerri Wilder informs him she has found help to complete the plans in time. When he meets Dances his whole existence chances because she more than he could have imagined but everything is not what it seems. A great storyline, love the characters. I read an Arc copy without obligation. I volunteered an honest review

I have loved Gerri since she was first introduced in book 1. She is my favorite character in the series, even though she doesn't appear in most of the books for very long; she is still an integral part of every story. Without her, there would be no matches. Danica and Asher are the latest match to join her long line of success stories. I loved going on their journey to HEA with them, and I look forward to going on many more journeys set in motion by the Matchmaking Queens, Gerri and MT.

Danica is one of the best party planners. She have been asked by Geri to help with festival. Festival is two days away and nothing much was done. Asher can do everything, but festival planning is not his thing. Great thing Gerri will send someone who can help.
Both of them get more than they bargained for.
Enjoyed the story very much.

Gerri's done it again!
When the Alpha of a Dragon clutch, Asher, needs help planning a festival in 2 days, Gerri as always solves the problem. She finds his fated mate who's also an event planner.
But someone else has been waiting to be the Alpha's mate for the past 4 years. And nothing will get in her way. Not even the fated mate bond.
Good read!
