Mannix Dragon Shifters #1
Their Runaway Mate
Two Dragons, One Runaway Mate
When Jasmine is unwillingly sacrificed to the dragons, she flees. On her first night as a fugitive, she meets Kylan, a deliciously sexy man who promises her shelter for the night. Too late, she discovers he is one of them: a dragon shifter. He is full of sex-appeal, muscle and heat. Dillon, his dragon partner, is just as captivating. They swear to protect her while investigating her wrongful sacrifice, but they also sense she is a potential mate and set out to show her how good things could be. Their hot kisses and enticing caresses could be more temptation than she can resist.
Could being a mate to two seductive dragons be what she was destined for all along?
Beware: This is an explicitly sexy 52,000-word novel for adults who enjoy reading about a BBW and her two dragons. Happy ending included.
An excerpt of this novel was originally published in the Dark & Stormy Alpha Night multi-author box set.

Quickly spiralled out of control and made no sense. Shit just started happening basically randomly. No foreshadowing of the drug issue that came to ahead at the end.
Badly written and had to skip most of the sex scenes because they dragged on for WAY TOO LONG. Who wants to read 10 paragraphs of the same foreplay? Not me, I was busy looking for a reason not to hate Jasmine. She had ABSOLUTELY no agency and was just floating along with the plot and her tendency towards running was frustrating to the point I started skipping most of the chunks of story that were in her perspective.

What the book lacks in realistic character development it makes up for in coziness.
FMC has always been afraid of dragons and has nightmares, but it’s cured in one conversation with the person who traumatized her as a child. After being elected as a sacrifice by her town, she flees her home and business to escape being given over to the dragons, but accidentally runs out of gas in dragon country and winds up in the arms of one nonetheless. Two days later she’s in love with them and wants to stay forever.
The bad guys attempt to poison and abduct the FMC (in two separate events), so in the space of one day the MMCs go from “we’d never force her into a mating bond without her consent” to “let’s just trick her into it and ask for forgiveness afterward.”
Nevertheless it’s a cute love story. I thought the spicy scenes were fine if not the most adventurous. The worldbuilding left some questions to be answered, like how a whole election and appeals process took place in the human world without the dragons’ knowledge if they have TV, phones and the internet. Maybe I just loved the fact that the FMC is a baker?

All her life she's been having terrible nightmares about dragons chasing her. Unknown to her that good for nothing ex of hers signs her up to be the first volunteer in a program between the dragons and humans to be a mate. All so he could get his hands on her bakery. No way Jose! Rather burn it down and that's just what Jasmine does before she hightails it out of town.
But things don't turn out the way she expected she runs out of gas and right into the arms a very hot male who turns out to be a dragon, but he is definitely not what she expected, and she finds herself in the arms of not only one, but two of them. Jasmine wasn't counting on enjoying herself so much, and her nightmares disappear to boot.
Kylan and Dillon are besotted by the auburn haired BBW, but how can they convince of staying with them?
Lot's of hot passion and action involved in the convincing. A little surprise for all at the end also.

Runaway Mate
Excellent read. A great menace take with dragons(my favorite). Anyone wanting a adventurous tale needs to read. As expected Ms. White writes a very interesting tale.

Sacrificed to dragons? I think not.
She jumped from the frying pan straight into the fire and wound up with two hot dragon lovers. Great read for anyone who loves dragon shifters.

It was fucking retarded.
The author needs a reality check, and curb her fucking fatphobic skinny hating trope. Just a big ol' FUCK YOU Stupid cow.

She’s a twit. Stupidly didn’t like her. Seemed so….blah. Definitely didn’t deserve her men.

Some parts that are quite engaging, others leave you wondering, and a couple are too darn convenient. However, I did enjoy the story.

Decent.
I liked the idea of the story, but I wasn't crazy about the characters. They fell a little flat for me.

Not much to say, it was ok. I read a chapter of this in an anthology and read interested enough to pick up the book itself, but I was hoping for a bit more depth. It failed me in all aspects - 2d characters, threadbare plot, and a world that could have been interesting if any attention was given to it.

She feared dragons her whole life with good reasons when she was 5 or so when her first experience with a dragon, so all her life she knew she would have to deal with them. She lived a life, opened her bakery and was enjoying it until a letter came stating her name was the first to be 'drawn' into a mandatory mateing with the dragons, a free for all really. Her fear turned into luck when Kylan saved her from her rash decision and when she finds out he is a dragon there is some fear but also intrigue and want when Dillion, Kylan's second or partner enters the room. Their building of trust and love won't come easily when Jasmine stills has a target on her back for other potential mates.
I was a good story, felt longer then the 130 some pages and it was a complete with HEA and from all three's p.o.v.
