Dragon's Secret Baby

Dragon Secrets of Parkhurst College #5

by Serena Meadows

Three years ago, he walked away without a word.
Now fate has put him back in her path.

Walker Price never stopped wanting Maddie—but wanting her was dangerous. As a dragon shifter bound by ancient rules and rival clans, loving a human nearly destroyed everything he was sworn to protect. So he did the unforgivable… he disappeared.

Maddie rebuilt her life without him. Stronger. Wiser. Carrying secrets of her own. When they’re forced back together at Parkhurst College, the attraction is still there—raw, undeniable, and more dangerous than ever. Especially with a rival watching from the shadows, determined to take everything Walker cares about.

As jealousy ignites, old wounds reopen, and the bond between them begins to awaken, Walker must decide whether protecting Maddie means staying away… or finally fighting for her.

Because this time, walking away could cost them both everything.

Some bonds can’t be broken—no matter how hard you try.

Each book in this sexy-as-sin series is a complete romance with no cliffhangers, but the series is best enjoyed in order.

Dragon secrets

A fast-paced read, slow-build romance with fantastic chemistry between the main characters, dragon shifters, second-chance college romance, desire, drama, action, clan politics and shifter history, great banter, some lovely twists, a bit of steam and a lovely HEA; and I look forward to reading the next in this series, and finding out more about Stephen's secrets.

Walker's pleased the basketball season's starting again at college, but when he hurst his ankle he's shocked to find his ex. looking after the injury. He'd split with her when his feelings became too strong and he worried about not being able to focus on his studies (an clan politics).

Maddie hadn't seen Walker since their first year, having ended up doing most of her course online, but she had to return to the college to complete her sports medicine internship. But her feelings for him haven't gone away and having to look after him she hopes he won't be able to tell; or find out why she had to change her course to being online.

But when she finds herself in danger Walker knows he can't stay away from the girl who holds his heart, and his clan mates will always be there to support them.

He will get a second chance

This book is amazing! The next of our College Dragons to get their happily ever after is Walker and his story is a bit of a doozy! He and Maddie were dating their freshman year but the feelings he started to have scared him and he ghosted her. Now, as seniors, they will run into each other and there will be some bumps in the road for them. She was pregnant when he called things off and she is trying to find the courage to tell him. He’s trying to figure out what to do after college and he finds he can’t resist Maddie when they run into each other again. But the Marbury Clan is still causing trouble and it’s Thomas that is running this show. He will do everything he can to get between Maddie and Walker and when he finds out about Walker’s son, he will resort to kidnapping. Walker and his friends will arrive in time to save the day and get Maddie and the baby away from Thomas. They’ve got one more encounter with Thomas and we get a peek at what happens next. I can’t wait to find out who the next dragon is to get his forever love!

Walker is glad that basketball season has finally started, but then he discovers that Thomas has made the team and that his ex-girlfriend, Maddie, is doing her sports medicine internship for the season. Walker hasn't seen her since Freshman year when he broke up with her because he was starting to like her too much. He doesn't have time for a relationship. Heck, he can't even some on a major, and he's running out of time. But seeing Thomas trying to cozy up to Maddie is infuriating. He's only doing it to get a reaction out of Walker... which he does.

Maddie is not happy that she has to see Walker all the time, not after the way he treated her three years ago. Agreeing to meet Thomas for coffee was a mistake, too. He isn't really a very nice person and Walker tried to tell her. Jerk. She knows she is going to have to talk to Walker again. She has something she has to tell him.

Another great story in the series. Enjoy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a fab second chance romance that had plenty of bumps and troubles along the way...not to mention the baby Maddie had after Walker dumped her. Walker couldn't handle the strong feelings he had for Maddie in their first year of uni but he didn't know she was pregnant at the time. Now, both in their senior year, they're in contact with each other all the time... These two had hot chemistry but it took time for them to work through everything, including more troubles from the Wolf Clan. Having threats to their baby and Maddie as collateral damage was not something he could keep his distance from. Thank goodness! ;) I really enjoyed this one and I was rooting hard for them get that HEA since neither stopped loving the other for all those years. Definitely engaging and I'm looking forward to the next book ;D

I thoroughly enjoyed this story about Maddie and Walker and their little son, Justin. as usual, in this series, there is always there rivalry of the Wolf clan against the dragons, and Maddy becomes collateral damage in walkers story. These two characters fell in love with freshman, and because of the strong feelings, Walker got scared and leaving Maddie pregnant and alone to face her family and their biases. Eventually, they both were able to work through their differences and with a threat to Maddie and Justin Walker pull his head out of the sand and stepped up to the plate and became the mate that she deserved and a father to Justin.

Maddie and Walker
Great characters, dragon shifter-human, secret baby, second chance, danger, action, adventure, fated mates, steamy, and HEA.
Walker and Maddie had a brief relationship when they were freshman. Now after some online classes and a baby that his father knows nothing about, Maddie is back on campus. Soon she'll have to let Walker know about his son. It won't be easy after he ghosted her before she had a chance to tell him she was pregnant. There's always danger when the other frat house tries to one up Walker's fraternity.

Maddie had worked hard to finish her degree online but had to return to campus for her final year where she had to deal with Walker. Even though Maddie was still in love with him, she tried to protect her heart from Walker who seemed to be quite the ladies’ man. When danger comes calling, Walker and his clan mates did what was necessary to rescue Maddie.

“Dragon’s Secret Baby” by Serena Meadows

-A suspenseful dragon shifter second-chance romance with plenty of steam and danger. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Walker and Maddie’s shared past, broken trust, and lingering love create strong emotional tension. The story has secrets,danger, protective heroes, and a satisfying happily ending making it a real “page turner”. The epilogue hints at the next story.

A good college, A good college, shifter romance short story

College can be so confusing And put that in a short story It was really good. In that sentence it says everything about the book Except the fact that the characters were well written And you were rooting for them throughout the whole story. The plot was simple and easy to follow there were a few editing mistakes that could have been corrected. But all in all I found it to be a very enjoyable story.

Maddie and Walker weren't ready for forever when it was ready for them. I love how they figure things out with a few twists and turns. Great supporting cast. The overarching mystery continues but each book stands alone. This is a fabulous commute read or afternoon escape!.

Forever Bonded

Walker and Maddie were once together but his fears pushed her away. Three years later their reunion still sparks with chemistry. It was an entertaining read with characters that harbor secrets that kept my interest in the plot. I could not put it down and can't wait for the next one in this series.

[Chelsie Reid · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had to stop reading this book. It was so one dimensional. Like I feel like instead of characters these people were acting like puppets just so shallow and just no depth to the story. Even if it’s a short read, it should come with more depths and make you exhibit more emotions.

[Keren Cargan · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great series where the students of Parkhurst find their fated dragon mates.
its not always plain sailing as there is a feud with another clan. Can they have their hea. so looking forward to the next in the series.
