Draco: Dragon Rules Series, Book 5

Dragon Rules #5

by Tia Didmon

Jemma is the poster child for bad luck. Nothing surprises her, not even discovering she's a cursed druid.

As her dark fate unfolds, and the people she trusted to protect her turn out to be the enemy, she relies on the dragon who claims to be her mate. They set out to find an ancient artifact that can break her curse and bind the powers of the mage set on their destruction.

The path to Jemma's salvation is wrought with peril, and she must surrender her power to ensure Draco's survival. When the mage attains a power, he has long searched for, she is left with an unalterable choice that will determine her future.

Will her sacrifice bring redemption for the misdeeds of the past, or will she ensure the annihilation of dragon and druid alike?

If you like the bite of the Reclaimed Dragons, Dragon Kings, and the Dragons of Mount Aterna series, then you’ll devour Tia Didmon’s sexy, imaginative series.

This is another exciting story for the series and it really flows well. With lots of action, adventure, mystery and magic, it's quite the page turner :D Of course, there's also romance with good steam, too ;P I really could empathize with Jemma and loved how Draco knew what she was to him. We get more details on the dark dragons and the last mage, as well, so I'm very much looking forward to the next book ;D Good fun!

Poor Jemma Norton is the epitome of Murphy’s Law. If it can happen, it will happen to her. Her computer fritzes constantly. Whatever she orders online either doesn’t fit, or comes in a weird color. Every time she transfers money to her landlord it never makes it to him, even tho the bank says it did. She goes thru computer keyboards pretty much constantly enough that she orders 3 at a time.

She finds rare artifacts and acts as a bridge between the wannabe buyer and seller. She gets paid either way, if it gets sold or not. Every time she works for the Dark Arts Gallery, however, she hates it. The new project manager replaces Devlin Dark as he passed, so now she will deal with Movar Dark.

When Natalie notices the store’s computer was hacked as well as Rule’s Industries, she calls on Draco to deal with it. She back traced the IP address to where Jemma lives, so that is where Draco and Cole go. Jemma is a Druid, but there is something wrong with her powers, she is for Draco. Oh boy her powers and the horrible life she has lived. I just want to hug her. The explanation of it all is mindblowing. I was happy to see the characters from the previous books. I have a soft spot for Cole and Kell. Can’t wait for more books, especially theirs. I really enjoyed this book because it cleared up a bunch of questions I had. All the dragon men are just snuggly and yummy to read about. Magic, mischief and mayhem can describe this book as well as beautiful, loving, friendship, and romantic.

Tia Didmon has written a 5-star book. This is the story of Jemma and Draco. Jemma accepts a job that gets her into some trouble. Draco is a Dragon Shifter and is sent to check out who has hacked into the computers of In Plain Sight. When he and Cole get to Jemma's apartment, he knows something isn't right. Jemma tells Draco and Cole why she hacked into the company computers but she was not planning on taking anything from them. She was going to see if an item was up for sale and if so she was going to buy it for her client. Things happen and she is told that she is a druid and they are there to protect her until her magic comes out. She tells them that she only took the job because her rent was due and it was paid in cash. Draco takes her back to his place and they have a talk. After the talk, he offers to pay her if she gives back the money her client gave her. They find out that she is the only one who can get the item they need but it comes at a price to her. Draco's dragon is acting crazy with Jemma around and he thinks that she is his mate. He will do anything to protect her.
Can Jemma and Draco make things right?
Will Jemma come out of this with her life?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Jemma has grown up believing she's cursed and that everything she touches leads to disaster, I found myself empathising with her, she's a great character who hasn't had things easy but doesn't let that stop her from trying to help others. I like that she's still able to feel hopeful about the future.

Draco is sent along with Cole another dragon to find out why she's hacked into Rule Industries' computers, she tells them that she's looking for an artefact and was only looking for information to help her find it.
Almost most immediately Draco senses that she's a druid about to come into her full magical abilities and more importantly that she's his mate! Jemma had no idea about the druid or magic aspect of her life, with Draco's supportive help will they be able to break the curse put on her by a dark mage so that he can claim her as his mate?

The story flows well and has lots of action, adventure and magic, mystery and intrigue and of course romance with steam. The author also reveals more of the back story which is getting more intense as well as the true agenda of the dark dragons and the last mage as well as introducing us to a newly awakened dragon.

I loved the story. Well written, well thought out plot, action packed, and of course eventual romance with steam.
From the first page you get to know Jemma and the curse of her life. You have empathy for her . What she had to endure. You get little hints along the way as to the source of the "curse". I like her personality. Even though her life has been a living h*ll , she still has hope and tries to help others. I like that she follows her gut feelings.
Draco is supportive of Jemma. He realizes quickly that she is his mate. The one he thought he would never find or deserved. As with all the colored dragons he is fierce and protective.
Their journey to break the curse was full of mystery and intrigue.
Great HEA and no cliffhanger for the couple.
The back story is getting more intense. More is revealed concerning the true agenda of the dark dragons and the last mage.
We are also introduced to a newly awakened dragon. I'm hoping he gets t meet his mate soon. He is a handful.

Book 5 of Dragon Rules continues the story of Dragons, Druids, and Mages. The continued reemergence of Druids and their destined mating with the Dragons, as they battle the last mage and the dark dragons. Cursed Jemma and her future mate, Draco discover more about the Mage and the history of the Druids. She learns why she is cursed and risks her life and that of her mate to end the mage and remove her curse. The story line and world created through this series is entertaining and engaging. The love stories each have their own details, but are very similar from book to book. The sex scenes from book to book are mainly the same, using the same verbiage and routine. It would probably be better to space out reading between the books, so that the similarities between them is less apparent. I do enjoy the story and the books in general. This one had a little twist to make it more intriguing.

The was an enjoyable book and the main characters had me cheering for them. Jemma Norse has so much bad luck that it’s amazing she is alive and so she tends to stay at home as is a hacker that gets things like rare artifacts for her clients and she also takes jobs from the Dark Arts Gallery but that’s only when she desperately needs money and her number one rule is she doesn’t meet the clients it all done online and just this once she breaks her rule. Draco Rule is a dragon shifter and when someone hacked into his computers Natalie traces it back to Jemma and now Draco and Cole go to see her she explains that she is looking to buy an artifact if it was up for sale and Draco believes her but he didn’t expect to find was his mate a Druid that her magic has come through yet. There is so much more to this book that I know you will enjoy.

The new information that Draco tells her will help Jemma understand her magic. She struggles to accept Draco as a mate and will become a player that will become the savior of the dragons and druids.

Jemma has bad luck all the time with anything she tries. She fries computers and pays her rent but it doesn’t get there. She ends up in a job that she doesn’t really like but she’d hacked a computer to find something. It’s gets found and traced and Draco and Cole go to see who it is. They instantly know something is wrong. They tell her she’s a Druid and her power hasn’t worked yet. Draco is a dragon and realizes that she’s his mate and has to protect her from what’s happening. Will they work it all out?.

Jemma and Draco's Story . . .

Jemma is convinced she has been cursed, and it does seem to be true since everything she does goes wrong somehow. She is likely a druid about to come into her full magical abilities which might explain some of the issues she is having. She connects with Draco who says she is his mate and he will try to help her find an artifact she thinks will break her curse. But when she has to give up her power to a dark mage, things go badly. Is this something she and Draco can survive?

[Kennedy R. Perry · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to say that I did enjoy this story. I was not familiar with this author, her writing style , or the series of books. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt the author’s style was pretty easy flowing which made this an enjoyable & easy read.
Jenna (h) is a likable character & Draco (H) just pulled me in.
The story is such a fantasy ride so hold on, pay attention and enjoy the action, mystery, thrills & romance with a pop of steam!.

She was so determined that she was cursed, and really she was.
But he was not going to let that stand in his way of having his mate.
The way they both tried to sacrifice themselves for the other was sweet considering they were perfect for each other.
She had such a hard start to life until he came into hers that I am glad they finally met.
Another great store to add to this series.

Jemma's life has been rough, even modern technology hates her. At least she has her job, which helps pay the rent. Dark Arts Gallery are good clients even if they give her the creeps. A little hacking brings Draco to her flat door.

Draco is happy to have found his mate, unfortunately she is perhaps more than he expected.

Will the greatest self-sacrifice of all be successful.

Jemma is living a cursed life until she meets Draco and find out why. This book has more details on the war between dragons, druids and mages. Betrayal and lies started the war and Cirella and her descendants live with the curse until it can be broken. I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend it.

Having bad luck feels like the norm for Jemma. Jemma knows she is good at acquiring items but never knew what life had in store for her. Draco has lived long and never expected to have a mate. Meeting Jemma has given him a whole new purpose one he intends to protect at all cost.
