A DELIGHTFUL DRAGON CHRISTMAS !!!
Title: Loved by the Dragon
Series: Stonefire British Dragons
Designation:Book Six of Series, Standalone Novella, No Cliffhanger
Author: Jessie Donovan
My Rating: FIVE HEARTWARMING STARS*****
Wow! Just what the doctor ordered! Or rather what Dr. Sid of the Stonefire Dragon Clan has ordered. And what is that, you ask? A deliciously cute and delightfully heartwarming story to tickle our funny-bone and tug on our heartstrings and of course, Jessie Donovan has delivered in spades - again - a charming Christmas story filled to the brim with joy, love, loyalty, hope, friends and family. It's no secret that I'm totally addicted to Jessie Donovan's work and have loved every single book she has written. With each new release, her boundless talent and incredible imagination still astound me. Paranormal romance with handsome, hunky alpha shifters have always held a special place in my heart but I'd never read any of Jessie's work until 16 months ago when she released her first dragon-shifter story, Sacrificed to the Dragon. I was instantly smitten and the rest, as they say, is history and I'm still a loyal, devoted fan. This particular story holds a special place in my heart because it's a spin-off of an earlier release, Seducing the Dragon which was the original love story between our two protagonists, Stonefire Clan Leader Bram Moore-Llewellyn and former Department of Dragon Affairs Inspector Evie Marie Marshall who is now Evie Moore-Llewellyn and also eight and a half months pregnant with her and Bram's first biological child. Of course, the happy couple still have their beloved adopted son, Baby Murray, who will be the perfect big brother to the bundle of joy waiting to be born. And yes, we do find out whether it's a boy or girl and no, I'm not giving any spoilers! You'll just have to read the book but I can say this....Quite a few of our favorite characters make an appearance in this book including a surprise visit from newly mated Fraser MacKenzie and Holly Anderson Mackenzie who arrive just in time for the birth along with several other unexpected surprises. Nope, I'm still not giving any hints. Well, maybe one juicy little tidbit - remember, Holly was a midwife before she volunteered to be a sacrifice to Lochguard and that's all I'm saying except - this story, as is with all Jessie's books, is exceptionally well crafted, well written and well edited. The narrative is written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view from both Bram and Evie and the dialogue between Bram, his dragon, Evie and their friends will keep you stitches. And the characters are simply magnificent! Overall, it's deliciously cute, completely captivating and delightfully entertaining. Yep, it's just what the doctor ordered - a fabulous, fun-filled, heartwarming read that also gives a few moments of heart-pounding drama to keep us on our toes and reminds us how blessed and enriched our lives can become by just the simple gifts of life, love, friends and family. I laughed and I cried but by the end of the book, I was left with a big silly grin on my face. I loved it! Thank you Jessie Donovan for another wonderful story!
