Willa Stone has been fighting for freedom her whole life. Freedom from her parents. Freedom from the tyranny of a cruel, power hungry alpha. And now, the freedom to select a mate of her own choosing.
When she's sold into an arranged marriage with dragon-shifter Drake Blackbourne to gain political favor for her family, every part of her rails against the injustice of it all...until now. She's fallen in love with her captor. But when a cruel twist of fate tears them apart, it will take everything she has to regain his trust and recapture the happiness she found in his arms.
*This is part three of a three part serial and won't make much sense as a stand-alone :o)
Chloe Cole is the New York Times bestselling author of steamy paranormal romance novels and one half of the happiest couple in the world. She and her handsome hubby currently reside in Pennsylvania with a four-pack of teenage boys and their two dogs, Gimli and Pug. When she isn't acting as maid, chef, chauffeur, or therapist, she can be found reading just about anything she can get her hands on, from Young Adult novels to books on poker theory. She hates bugs (except ladybugs, on account of their cute outfits), but lurrves chocolate. She also loves writing steamy romance stories, but also hopes to one day publish something her dad can read without wanting to poke his eyes out with sharp sticks. If she had to pick another occupation, she would be a pirate. Or, like, a ninja maybe. Oooh, or a Gryffendor!
Book 3 starts off with Grey, the alpha wolf of the Montana Wolf pack, carrying Willa down the mountain and Willa is trying to get his attention to tell him she doesn't want to leave. Grey won't listen, he finally puts her down and she tries again to explain she wants to stay with Drake as she's fallen in love with him. About that time Drake has discovered her gone and he comes after them even though he thinks Willa has lied to him and betrayed him. He and Drake get into a fight and Willa is afraid Drake will kill Grey (even though she is no longer upset with Grey for dumping her she doesn't want him to die). She finally figures the only way to prevent them from killing each other is to take a header off the mountain. Of course Drake can't let her die, he loves her even if she has betrayed him. So he goes after her and catches her before she can hit bottom. Meantime, Grey has taken off since he is essentially outnumbered. Drake returns her to the castle and chains her to a bed in the guest room. He rants at her about betraying him and even though she tries to explain it was all a mistake, Drake doesn't believe her. She is devastated. They spend the night apart and then go into town the next day so Drake can prepare to fight off Grey again as he is sure Grey will return. There are a few scenes in town where Drake exacts his revenge by making Willa jealous but eventually they make it back home. He returns Willa to the guest room but she says she'd like to take a shower before he chains her up but - could he check the shower cause there's something wrong with it. He thinks it's a trick but he checks it, during this time Willa strips which of course Drake is susceptible to. That was the point after all. He manages to resist but he is so aroused it is hard for him to walk away. It's so sad that they have come to this point. Willa has finally realized she loves Drake and he is shattered by what he thinks is her betrayal. Suffice it to say that their relationship hangs in the balance. There are more instances of fighting and almost sex before Drake comes to the conclusion that this is what she wants and he must let her go. Etienne is tasked with meeting Grey and handing her over as Drake's heart is breaking and he can't do it himself. He does however manage to deal with her parents on her behalf, leaving them with the realization that they are lucky he is allowing them to live. Then he goes home to mourn. He will go away to Scotland as he can't be near her and not want her. Poor Drake...Willa is just as miserable at the pack house where she has had to go as she doesn't want to be in the house where she lived with her parents. Although we eventually get a happy conclusion it's a sad journey to get there. This was an excellent conclusion to Willa and Drake's story. I am looking forward to finding out if there is happiness out there for Etienne, after all, dragons aren't meant to be totally alone! This is not a standalone book.

Willa will do anything to regain Drake’s trust after a cruel twist of fate tears them apart in this spellbinding conclusion to Coercion.
Just as Willa’s discovered that she’s come to love Drake events that she set in motion come and tear them apart and the reader can’t help but get emotionally caught up in the turmoil that follows as Drake believes that Willa deceived him. These strong compelling characters captured the heart and ensured that readers fell in love with them from the very beginning and I have to tell you that tears will be shed in this one as the fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers enthralled with suspense, passion and emotional angst.
Anticipation builds as Drake sets about punishing Willa for her deception and preparing for war against Greyson and Etienne visits and adds his two cents on the matter as well. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring this story to life and the well orchestrated events ensure that the readers want to know the whole story.
Well, I have to say that I am definitely looking forward to reading Etienne’s story, especially since I got to know him a little more but it will take a lot of work on his part to beat Drake and Willa’s and of course I’m waiting impatiently.
If there is a dragon in a story, you can bet I'm going to read it. This was a great trilogy, and I'm glad I picked it up. It's a fun & snarky, at times, romance, with scorching (as can only be expected with a dragon) sex, and a bit of heartbreak that your heart will feel. Well done dragon story.
~~Gifted book from the Author in return for a honest review~~
Being a female and a shifter most of the time its not who you love but whats the best match. Most of Willa’s life has been about doing what she is told, not what she wanted. When her parents use her as a bartering tool, she was so used to that type of treatment she didn’t put up much of a fight. Now sexy male tells her she is his wife and Willa is just not having it. Willa puts herself in danger a couple of times with escape attempts. But what she cant seem to escape is her growing feelings for her sexy eyed dragon shifter husband. Drake knew he should have let Willa go when he found out that she knew nothing of the deal he and her parents made, it didn’t even sit well with the powerful dragon how his sassy spitfire lil wolf was sold and bartered. His dragon bounces around inside him more than sure Willa will suit both man and the beast. It seems like when people are pushed into something they aren’t sure of they will do anything to fight back. Willa is no different and decides to flee from the clutches of her mean old husband. Mated?! Surely not as if its even possible a wolf be mated to a dragon. This last book in this particular series is about wrong choices and acting without thinking things through. Emotions will run high and dangerous hurt and betrayal only names a couple of the emotions that run through this story, stir in a few heavy doses of passion and you have intense reactions to situations a cooler head would prevail.
I truly loved this series, the writer kept me begging for more at the end of each book. The books are easy and short reads, they are not stand-alones so you will need to read them in order. But each book is worth your time. All about shifters... I recommend it... enjoy Thank you Ms. Cole!
Just when Willa decides Drake is who and what she wants—she gets “rescued.” Gee thanks Grey! NOT. Typical Alphas, Grey won't listen, Drake thinks she tricked him—and no one wants to hear what she has to say.
They are going to fight and someone she loves or someone she is in love with is going to die! You will be amazed at what she does to interfere.
Now what? I can't tell you what happens without a spoiler and I won't do that so—what do you think will happen? Can Willa convince either male to listen? If they do, will they believe her?
If possible, Dragon Shifters may be even more stubborn than Wolf Shifters. It isn't going to be an easy time for any of them. Let me just say I was thinking Ms. Cole was going to sneak in another book to sort this one out and wasn't sure I could wait this time. Had a few tears for this one.
I absolutely loved the entire series and the end has everything a reader could want. Ms Cole set up for the next character's story so well. I can't wait to read reviews and see how much everyone else loved this.
I was provided an all-in-one complimentary copy of Parts 1-3 of this story in exchange for an honest review. I will post my review only on this final part of the story.
Oh boy, did I ever devour this dragon vs. wolf romance! I say vs. because Drake (the dragon) and Willa (the wolf)had an “arranged” marriage contract made by Drake and Willa’s parents without them ever having seen each other. And did the sparks ever fly when they met! The sparks were from their differences and from the fact that the contract was mainly to Willa’s parents’ benefit and Willa felt they had “thrown her away” and separated her from her pack friends. I don’t want to put any spoilers in here so I won’t give details, but rival dragons and pack alphas got involved in the way of Drake’s and Willa’s acceptance of each other, which caused many misconceptions and problems and a definite rocky road to their finding happiness. But it sure kept me glued to the pages of the book from beginning to end and is a thrill ride of a story!
So far Part 3 is making me fall deeper in love with the main Characters. I already love them, but now its me yelling into the book at each of the characters wishing they could hear me. I am so enthralled that time is slipping by me...so I gotta go now. (more soon)
OKAY Finished last night. Perfect. I would only change one thing. The ending went way too fast for me. The story has so much detail and description. I did not have to guess on one single thing. Nor did I feel like I was putting a million piece puzzle together. I loved it. Like I said...I wish the ending lasted a tad bit longer. But who knows...will their story continue to the next book(s) Obsession? Lemme go find out.
This was a perfect conclusion to Will a and Drake's story. Sometimes even during all the pain and anger you can miss what is right in front of you. That is what almost happened to Drake and it takes Etienne of all people to bring that grain of truth to a field of understanding. I love that Will a didn't just give in and except that she had lost Drake but was willing to defend the love she know she has finally achieved! I would definitely recommend this book,and I eagerly await Etienne's story!
I absolutely love Drake and Willa's story. It is like this all consuming love that is wonderful and painful at the same time. when you have two strong willed individuals who care so deeply about each other, you are bound to have a great love story. One with all the adventure, mystery, and romance one reader can handle. Add the supernatural and it may be a little too much to bare.
Drake is just as dreamy as all those wolves.
I can't wait to continue with Etienne's story. I am sure this one will be filled with all sorts of fun.....
I had not decided to read this series but I had gotten a bunch of books to stuff my kindle and the whole set came with it. This is a review for parts 2 and 3. I actually really enjoyed part two but I hate the ending part 3 was just horrible. I loved the steam and everything in part two it was a pretty sweet romance. In part 3 I was just pissed because he (the dragon) turned into such a jerk. I hated the ending and how she stayed and she was the one to go back. Why? Oh Why? Can she not be a strong woman not a needy woman?
Exciting and romantic and way too good! Ms. Cole is a dynamic storyteller! She creates worlds and characters like they were her friends! As I am sure they are after writing about them in three books! I really enjoyed these books and I believe anyone else who loves shifter books will also! A dragon and a wolf, who would have thunk it! Ms. Cole did!!!
Omg...I have been waiting for this book to come out. I was longing to read the rest of Drake and Will a story. Even though the story was short...the story was exciting and kept u wanting more. I really wished it was longer. Story did kinda feel rushed but still so glad I got to read it.
Willa Stone has been fighting for freedom her whole life. Sometimes you think you want to be free only to find that it brings you the one person destined to be yours.
Drake realizes he has fallen in love with Willa. Sometimes letting go is the best thing to do.
I loved each and every one of these books! You should definitely buy these!
The entire series is a winner and the chemistry of h characters was awesome. The story capture my heart from beginning to end. I just couldn't put it down; I had to finish reading all three of them to see what was going to happen. Highly recommended and hope you have another book coming out to see if Etienne finds love.
Willa is frustrated with the fact that no one listens to her. When the two men in life go head to head she knows it will take something drastic to get their attention. When she finally does will it end up with the results she is looking for? There is danger, tenderness, misunderstanding and angst. Give this book a try, it’s worth it!
Kindle unlimited read! Series - Have to read first 2 books before this one. More after this one but is about different people so 3 books in all. Loved, loved, loved it! Was a little hard to handle at times cause I wanted to hit one of them but a really good, hot, quick read. HEA too!
In this third installment, Drake steals Willa back from her old Alpha, and believes that he's been betrayed, that she was running away from him. He doubts the feelings that Willa is developing for him, and while he is readying himself for war with the packs, his heart is breaking. It is a satisfying ending to the trilogy, and I highly recommend the series!
I think I just wanted more out of this one than I got. Mr Big Bad Dragon had a whole lot of mood swings and it just got a little much for me tbh. still, I liked how the author resolved it, liked the characters overall, and I'm curious to see what happens with Etienne so I'll be reading some more of her stuff. not a bad introduction to a new author.
Willa is given by her family to Drake as part of a deal. Little does he know, but she is a handful and he's determined to have her. She is TOTALLY in love, but has her own set of feelings to deal with. This just gets better and better with each part you read.
These PARTS are NOT stand alone, so start at number 1.
He is me sexy dragon! The ending felt a tad rushed, but I understand that this book was already a bit longer than intended, so I understand things had to be wrapped up. But the book was still a great ending to the series and I love a god HEA!!
Received a free copy for an honest review. FANTASTIC!!!! I love the Montana dragons series, it was so good I just flew through it. It was just AWESOME! Can't get enough of the dragons, (just WOW;) I can not wait for Etienne's story!!!!
Willa finally found her true place in life and I am so happy for her. It was an incredible ending for Willa and Drake. To finally figure out what they wanted was amazing. I cannot wait to see what Etienne's story is and see how he feels about love.
Love love love this story. I was extreemly frustrated with Willa's total acceptance of Drake keeping her captive. I would have liked her to be even a little pissed and give him hell. But other than that. Wow, sigh and everything inbetween.
So glad for a happy ending for Willa and Drake. Her old pack didn't stop her from leaving so they finally understand. I think the next series could even be more exciting.
