Rate this book
Will their fated love prove strong enough to end an ancient war?

Agricultural analyst Cora Brighton has worked hard to help reconstruct Earth after the Mulgor invasion decades ago. But now, facing another lonely Christmas, she realizes life has passed her by and signs up for the Draconian Mating Lottery.

Magmus Murcul, Earth Prince of Galaton, is weary of fighting his own men who are frustrated at being shut out of the mating lottery. Now, he finally has a mate after long years of waiting -- but the Mulgor infestation makes the journey unsafe for Cora, so he must journey into space to find her, leaving his Earth Lands unprotected.

With the powerful Galatonian armada at his side, Magmus travels to the stars to find his bride and fight back the Mulgor threat. When he finally meets her, their bond is unmistakable, and their shared passion could heat the bitter cold of space.

But claiming his mate is not enough -- the Mulgor must be stopped. Can Magmus and Cora finally take down the Draconian's ancient enemy and put an end to the war? And if they do, will they have a home to return to when it's done?

On Distant Galaxies.....

The last of the four Elemental Dragon Princes, Magmus Marcul has yet to find a mate to bear him an heir to his earth kingdom on Dracon. and to ease his lonely life. He is weary of fighting his own men, just for the simple fact that they desire the same thing he does, someone to fill their empty lives. To accomplish the end to this fighting among his kind, he must find his mate, secure an heir and put an end to the enemy the evil Mulgor for good.

Cora Brighton has always loved working her botanical gardens, but since her parents death she feels lonelier everyday and dreads the upcoming Christmas Holidays she will spend alone. She makes up her mind and decides to join the Draconian Mating Lottery maybe she can find happiness before it's too late for her. Cora never expected to get such a fast match and to a prince no less, only problem is she must leave earth and travel to the distant planet of Dracon. There are conditions that she must agree to, like being artificially inseminated with her future husband's seed before she even meets him. How can she not want to though when she gets a look at her draconian? Will she accept her fate with a man she has never met and avoid the insanity and sure death that will consume him if she does not. Will her mates lotions enthrall her to him as he is to her?

I loved the anticipation in this story and the resulting passion was out of this world!

Nothing to say about Scarlett Grove’s “Earth Dragon’s Baby” except…It was totally FABULOUS!!! I actually think it is my favorite of the 4 books, but they all are so damn good it is hard to choose. I love how Cora will not leave his side even though they are facing the Mulgor head on. Trust me you do not want to miss this book. Though the series can be read as standalone I think you would get out of them if you read them in order. Scarlett never lets me down. I love her work whether it is paranormal romance or sci-fi alien romance. This is a book you do not want to miss.

Cora Brighton is an agricultural analyst who was alive when the Mulgor attacked Earth. She helped to reconstruct Earth after the invasion. She was tired of spending Holiday’s alone, especially Christmas. She starts to believe that her life has been empty even though she has worked hard in making sure that the vegetables in the green houses or domes was good. She signs up for the Draconian Mating Lottery with the hopes of not having to spend another Christmas alone. Once she is matched she cannot believe her eyes that the one she is mated to is handsome beyond belief. He is the Earth Dragon Prince Magmus Murcul. Once she makes up her mind she on the space ship that take her to Galaton and to her Prince.

Magmus Murcul is the Earth Prince of Galaton. He has grown weary of fighting and killing he own men because the other three Princes won’t open the Mating Lottery till he has his mate. His men are frustrated as well that the Princes won’t open up the Mating Lottery to them. Then he is matched to a beautiful curvy Earth woman name Cora Brighton. He can’t think of her because now he can feel the beginnings of the mating thrall. He alerts the other Princes that his mate has been found and he is going to take the Armada and go get her. His intentions are to ride their galaxy of the Mulgor threat once and for all. But first he had to make sure that his mate and unborn baby were safe. The other three Princes are supposed to keep his lands safe from takeover by his men. Magmus leaves hoping that he has a home to bring his new family to. Magmus is stunned by the beauty of his pregnant mate when he finally meets her. The heat and passion they share is unbelievable. Can Magmus get his new family home safely? Will he and his Armanda be able to wipe out the Mulgor once and for all? Or will he and his family die trying? His biggest question is will he have a home if he does come out of this battle alive?

Magmus and Cora's story flowed very well. This is the fourth story in this series and I believe the last, unless a new spin-off is created. Magmus is the last Prince of Glaston to finally be matched to an earth bride. He is very happy to finally be matched because he is tired of war. He learns the Mulgor's are on attack again and he must travel to meet and protect his bride and future heir.

Cora Brighton is a botonist from Earth who is all alone after her parents death. She decides she wants a baby and a husband, so she signs up for the Draconian Lottery and she is surprised at how quickly she is matched. She is Matched to the Land Dragon from Glaston. Her journey now begins.

I liked this last one, but what I did not like was the grammatical errors.

Cora Brighton is a botanist ,and has spent the tears since the Draconians came to Earth helping to grow the fresh produce for the planet. Now she wants something for herself.
Magmus Murcul, the Earth Prince of Galaton is tired of the constant fighting. He needs to protect his throne and the Draconian trade routes are being targeted by their enemies. It's time to put a stop to it once and for all.
This is the forth book in the series. You could read it on its own but I ts better to read the series.
This is a very sexy read, with plenty if adventure. A very good addition to the series.

An All Male Dragon Shifter Planet's Recovery OVER 18 READING

As the Earth Prince's time came he went out to claim his pregnant mate to be sure of her safety though his enemy who was blocking his planet's trade lines. He has been fighting his mate thall for six months and needs to complete the mating. He knows he needs to finish this fight because he is so tired of fighting everyday and it will continue until they can protect their shipping lines to open the mating lottery to all the men on all the planet. He knows he must take the fight to them but what about his new mate? Does he send her on to his home or let her stay with him as both could be dangerous? She decides and he agrees. Her time comes to deliver before they can return to her new home after the battle. On the day they finally make it and he contacts the other three princes who have already claimed their mates and sons and asks that in honor of his return and his son completing each of their lands and titles that they now allow all the men on their planet to enter the mating lottery to get their own mates so they to can finally have their own families too. He knows this will stop the daily fighting with his own men that has gone on since the last woman on their planet died. They now have the four human princesses and the four young princes on the planet so they agree . As soon as he is done he announces to his men and instructs them in how to enter to get their own mates found. Now it will be up to fate as to how fast and to whom the mates are found. Will the knowledge that more mates will be coming calm their internal fighting? This is a good story with not only the story of getting his mate but of the final battles fought to make it safe for all of his world to finally heal..

Agricultural analyst Cora Brighton worked to restore and reconstruct a better ecosystem for Earth after the devastation wrought by the Mulgors. Christmas is fast approaching. It is a family time that should be joyous for everyone, but Cora has no one to share it with. She is lonely. She decides that perhaps her fate is not on Earth but with the Draconians and enters the Draconian Mating Lottery. She is surprised that she is immediately matched with Magmus Murcul, Earth Prince of Galaton. She fills he backpack with a variety of seeds to bring a touch of home to her new life.

Magmus Murcul is weary of fighting his own lords for control of the earth kingdom, but until he has his heir and the path from Earth to Galaton is safe for all of Galaton, he must keep the general populous of Galaton shut out of the newly available bridal lottery with Earth. With the Mulgor more powerful than ever, he must find his mate and then with the Galaton Armada finally defeat the Mulgor. But will leaving his territory unprotected for so long leave him without a heritage to come home to enjoy with his new mate and son.

I loved that Cora was much more of an active participant in this story. She plant a few of her seeds and nurtures them to grow and produce fresh vegetables. When Magmus arrives to protect her and her developing baby, she immediately feels the strong bond and they thoroughly enjoy their shared passion. She decides to be at his side as they confront the Mulgor for the last time.

This was a well-developed interesting love story with action, romance, war, both in the sky and at home. Finally we get our Happily Ever After. Well Done Scarlett Grove.

>Book review – Earth Dragon’s Baby

>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 4th and last book in the Elemental Dragons series and ends in a HEA. Cora is an agriculturist on Earth. She enters the mating draft in order to gain a family of her own. She is paired with Magmus, the Earth dragon prince. Magmus must meet her transport in order to protect her from attack. They get to know each other better, but there are no scenes of Cora meeting with any of the other human queens. As the end of the series, a meeting with all 4 princes and their queens would have been nice.

>There is a final battle scene and the promise of peace on the horizon, but this short novella needs a lot more description and backstory in order to really relate to Cora and Magmus. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this story 4 stars. The series is fun, but so much more could have been added to make the series truly great.

I enjoyed this story. Cora has always been drawn to plants and growing things so it completely fits that she is matched with Magmus, the Earth Prince. She doesn't have much left for her on Earth and so decides to take the risk and go to her mate. This is the fourth book in the series and so while it does stand alone, there is some overlapping information. If you have read the others than you know that the Mulgor have been increasingly troublesome for the brideships to come through. Magmus is tired of fighting his people and wants peace. He heads out to meet Cora to keep her safe from the Mulgor's and also to defeat them and open up the trade routes. This book had some explicit sex and some action going on. It flowed smoothly. This is a short story and was a quick read for me.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this story.

Repetitive and banal

There's nothing new or interesting about this story. We have all the common tropes of mail order bride, instalust, age gap, powerful aristocrat with commoner. The reader feels no emotional connection to the characters because the author hasn't mastered the art of showing. Readers are told what happens, what the characters feel. We're told several times just in case we didn't get it the first time. It makes for banal storytelling. Even the erotic scenes feel gratuitous and boring. Point in this story's favor are 1) the hero isn't a womanizing jerk and 2) the author uses a competent editor to avoid spelling and punctuation errors. I suspect, however, that the editor ain't human, but software.

Last in the Elemental Dragon series

This is the fourth and last book in the series of a planet that is divided into the four elements. The Earth Dragon just tired of battling his own men. All the Princes combine the resources to battle their ancient enemy the lizards.

He gathers his biologist human pregnant mate before he battles his ancient enemies. The characters are strong, descriptive sceneries, and intriguing plot making this book a winner. Highly recommended and an entertaining read.

Earth Dragon's Baby is the 4th book in the series. With this book the final elemental dragon prince finds his mate. The war with the Mulgor also comes to a head. When the Mulgor go after the earth dragon's bride they bite off more than they anticipate. With the earth land lords and earls fighting for dominance and the earth prince having to leave the planet to save his bride all bets are off.
Each of the prince characters in this series is an alpha in his own right. Imagine what they could accomplish together. Enjoy the journey to finding renewal, hope, friendships and love.

Great ending to the series

Cora grows plants and loved living things. She enters the Draconian mating program and she is matched with the earth dragon.

The last of four princes to find a mate he must leave his homeworld leading the armada so he can eliminate the threat to their trading routes once and for all.

Can he reach his mate in time to protect her and his unborn child?

Brilliant

Brilliant last book of the Galaton princes. Magnus the earth prince has to go and protect his bride but also beat the Mulgor back to allow the lords of their lands to also use the mating site to find their mates and put a stop to the fighting they have to do everyday to ensure he stays ruler.

Good for what it was

I enjoyed this quick little dragon mate romp. It was nice and not too trope heavy. There were a couple lines of dialogue that were a little odd, but I liked the blend of sci-fi & shifter romance.

Two made for each other

These two were perfect for each other.
A botanist and an earth dragon fated from a long way away from each other but destined.
She follows him further then any previous mate and they secure the future for their planet together.

This is definitely what I would categorize as ending with a bang! Treachery, war, and romance throughout the story and the whole series! Great for break or pre bed reading!
