Rising Dragons #6
Breath of Love
Hallie ran from her old life into the jungle and the arms of a dragon shifter named Kol. In the span of an evening spent fulfilling the ancient dragon ritual, she fell for the huge black dragon, his race’s First Shadow and largest dragon of his generation.
Mated to the highest ranking dragon after the Queen has been both a challenge and the happiest time of her life, but what Hallie wants more than anything is to be able to conceive her lover’s child. She and Kol are so close to their hearts’ desire, they can both taste it, but when her ex-lover tracks her down and threatens to disrupt her happy life, Hallie fears she’ll lose everything.
Breath of Love is the fifth episode in a series of novellas that include menage, voyeurism, and all kinds of other fun kinks involving shapeshifting mythical beasts who breathe magic smoke and have very long, prehensile tongues. It is intended for adult audiences.

Into the Shadow........
Kol Magnus first Shadow of the temple has risen thanks to a running Hallie, his shadow tempted her with exquisite touches until he was a solid mass of man. Now he is the superior to all the dragons and of his enormous empire of security. He is even superior to the mighty Geva, but his beliefs, that got him the job of walking for centuries as a shadow in the temple while all the dragons slept, are prevalent in his demeanor. Until Halle awakens the the superior authority that he should yield. Their love knows no bounds, so when Hallie is kidnapped by the very past she has been running from, he steps in to rescue her and lets it be known that she is his woman and he will not be lenient in the future.
Roka and Rafe have found Rowan in China and all of them ready to take Kol's jet there and begin their plans to go before the Counsil with Rowan and the missing piece of the Veradinth found. Now it is just a matter of convincing the Counsil of their truth.

Erika still searching for missing artefact but Kol and Hallie are involved in mix now.
Short but incredibly sexy. Some might feel to too much sex for such a short book but thankfully with omnibus you just carry on into next.

3.75 stars - romance/erotica/smut with continuing story [following Sleeping Dragons] - audiobook version.
Halle & Kol are well mated and ready to begin a family, when we learn the grand dilemma the dragons have long faced, and had kept from them... something keeps them from having children, and they need to expand the dragon population, desperately. But Halle has a secret of her own - she was hiding for her safety when she found Erika and her group [looking for aid to search for the temple/artifacts]. And this secret is about to find her.
In addition to the main story, I actually like Halle & Kol. Their relationship is sweet... until the situation turns voyeuristic and then, well... yes. [My bad for expecting other, I realize.]

The search for the Verdanith piece concludes and the hunt for the mysterious Rowan is almost complete. Hallie and her dragon partner Kol travel by plane to to visit Geva and Erika. Things are finally coming together but red dragon Geva is disciplined for his secret keeping. Erika shares information and more with her friend Hallie. Tension builds as resolution seems possible. Read using my KU subscription.

Can you imagine being cared for by one amazing person but they can basically project their shadow away from themselves and make it solid enough that it can care and caress you etc?
Hallie's past comes back to bite but the Dragon's mark is better than GPS
Secrets from other stories are coming out and the old distrust for Geva is ever-present but can they get past it all?

She had run from her old world, into the arms of her dragon lover. He, was still learning what his position in the world required of him. That submission and dominance were an integral part of position in the hierarchy of dragons and human worlds.

Loved it!
This book has some kick butt action scenes in it. It's fast moving and intense. I can't wait to see how this ends.

Hallie’s story offers a heartfelt journey from trauma to hope, wrapped in the challenges of dragon mating and outside threats. The looming danger from her ex adds tension to the otherwise warm romance with Kol. The novella highlights themes of trust and resilience, pairing emotional vulnerability with Ophelia Bell’s trademark erotica. It’s a compelling continuation of the series’ emotional and sensual exploration.

I loved watching the loving relationship between Kol and Hallie and the evolution of Kol. Because of Hallie pushing for what she wanted, Kol discovered his dominance. Throughout the book you see Kol become more confident in his dominance and becoming a better Shadow Dragon leader. It was also great to see Hallie's ex-boyfriend/stalker get put in his place so he will not haunt or hurt Hallie again due to Kol's love for her.

Whew! It's hot! Marking 5 stars. Highly recommended!
Loved every second of this thriller! Warning, sexually explicit, some m/f/f Bdsm m/m. And climaxing in all couples. In this book Kol and Hallie fly out to meet with Geva and Ericka. There is some serious politics going on here. Some family related issues.
Great storytelling! Love the sexy bits! Loving the story just as much. Ready to see what happens next!
