I want to preface this review with saying the overall story was a good one, however it fell short for me in its delivery. My lackluster response to this book stems from several places but mostly has to do with the poor storytelling as well as authors questionable sentence structures. Now don't get me wrong I read this book for what it was, or at least what I thought it would be; a nice little distraction with and predictable storyline and even more predictable ending, and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was not entirely predictable.
However I do not appreciate it when I am pulled out of my romance haze, in the middle of a love scene because I just can't a) hold in my laughter any longer or b) feel the overwhelming need to go back and reread aloud (in my most sarcastic and disbelieving voice) the word choices used to describe the parts and byproducts of sex. This was in my opinion one of the most irritating habits of this author. She further goes on to annoy me with her seemingly overwhelming need to cram as many words into a sentence as possible and thereby ends up repeating herself, and/or the aforementioned "creative" descriptions of body parts. My last critique to the writing itself falls in the personal taste category. I am not a huge fan of starting in the middle of the story and then communicating through flashbacks as the main character introduces and monologues the day as an episodic.
As for the characters, they all seemed to lack a little something to connect to.
The heroine is just a little too naive/trusting/stupid (however you want to look at it) for my tastes, as well as disrespectful toward the person she professes for really care about.
The prince's were just basically, forgive my language, man-whores, without a care in the world or a thought to the consequences of their actions. They very actively created a situation in which they were aware of their wrong doings but decided that momentarily pleasure was worth possibly ruining someone's life/relationships.
As for Gordon, really we just didn't see enough of him. It was very hard to understand his acceptance of the situation toward the end other than to just say he is obviously a very well adjusted, enlightened, and forgiving man.
Finally, the ending was just a little too abrupt for my tastes. The conflict of the story was wrapped up in a neat little bow while only skimming the surface of what the whole situation would have done to the characters emotionally.
This sounded like such a good story when I read the sample on Amazon. Wrong. I have read worse, but this one was a disappointment more than anything. The sexual terms were either cutesie or worse. This sort of ruined the whole hot sex thing with first one, then a matched pair of were - dragons. I didn't understand the careful description of the single dragon using protection, but the twins didn't even think about it, much less the girl. Oh well, all books will not suit all people.
I really did not enjoy this story at all. Rich Playboys knock woman up and of course the family can only say what about us. Again, the common girl gets treated like garbage and finds out for sure that she was nothing more than a toy. The author tried for a HEA ending but it fell way short of the goal.
I don't like to give bad reviews, so I will say that the overall story was good. The main problem I had with it, were the horrible word choices used to describe body parts during the sex scenes. The word "meat" was used too many times. And I almost had to stop reading when she used the term "pink curtains" to describe the h's body parts. Sometimes, it's better to use the "dirty" words than the "clean" ones. Good ending, though. Glad I finished it.
I really, really liked the story. It was a very different take on dragon shifters. However, like I've seen a few other people say in reviews here, the author's way of describing the sex scenes was very, um, different. To say the least. Yes, I too re-read what she wrote and found some of the phrasing pretty laughable. In her obvious need to not use the "naughty" words, she really deflated the otherwise very steamy sex scenes. Either don't describe the sex scenes at all (especially if you don't want to use the usual words for sexual anatomy), or go all out and make it as steamy as you possibly can. That's just my opinion lol
I sure enjoyed Lynda's forward impetuousness in the way she dared to speak to the royal parents near the end of the book.
I too agree that the ending of the story was rather abrupt.
I absolutely enjoyed the book. I will say to prospective readers, the description doesn't fit the book. This will give you a better idea of what to expect:
Lynda has spent most of her life dreaming of visiting Draconis, the island nation of weredragons. After graduating college, she works her way there and secures employment within the Royal Manor in the hospitality industry.
While working in the Royal Manor, she meets three weredragons with whom she shares a physical connection, Gordon, an Undersecretary, and Jared and Duncan, Royal Princes. When Lynda turns up pregnant, who will be the father and who does she love? Will it be the same weredragon?
What just happened? I felt like the blurb was not an adequate representation of the story. The princes weren't really her love interests. And it was a tangled mess. Gordon (the real love interest) took up some of the story but the way things happened seemed surreal and not really romantic. I wouldn't recommend it that's for sure. There was cheating as well so be warned which definitely made me not like the heroine. She was fickle and naive to the point that it was frustrating.
I enjoy menage romances and this was a great read. It is a good choice for those who enjoy paranormal romances. You get two dragon shifters determined to get their mate. It is well written and there are some surprises that keep the story really interesting.

Kindle Unlimited standalone book. Okay I hate to give bad reviews but the sex terminology was almost bad enough that I didn't finish book. Didn't like most of the characters. Wanted to like it but just couldn't. Two bad boy princes, one good guy, and one girl. Yikes felt bad for good guy and the other... yeah didn't like them.
The story was interesting but a little slow at times. I found the main characters a little flat and needed a good kicking to boost them up. My biggest laugh was the way the male and female genitals were given so many comical names, sorry not my idea of a serious book because of that. It will entertain some though
Great book....love dragons....this story will tug at your heart.....great hea....!!!! Can't wait for the next one....
