The dragons will search the universe for their one true mate...
Piper Meadows hates her strange ability that allows her to sense supernatural beings; it’s made her an oddity and an outcast in her small town. It’s at a party she doesn’t want to attend that her ability is suddenly triggered, making her aware of someone not human. A pity that someone is also the best looking male she’s ever seen. Not that it matters, a man like Baron wouldn’t look her way twice … would he?
As captain of a mighty dragon army, Baron Alsharma has been exposed to a whole world of violence. Then he sets eyes on the gentle and remarkable Piper, and there is no way in hell he’ll give her up. He doesn’t care that she’s not a rare breeder. If he has to forcibly make off with her to convince her they’re perfect together, he will, even while having to keep one step ahead of the Tantonics, his sworn alien enemy. Except the Paranormal Detection Agency is also on his tail and will do anything to capture a shape shifting dragon, even if it means hurting Piper to get to him.

About the author
Mel Teshco
225 books143 followersI’m an award winning author who loves to write scorching hot contemporary and science fiction romance—stories I love to read. I love working from home, where my office window looks out over our ‘block’ of fourteen acres with gorgeous mountain views. After enjoying a stint as a foster carer for cats, I now have seven felines to entertain me, along with two dogs and two horses. But only when I’m not distracted by my three gorgeous daughters, one of whom—a teenager *shriek*—is still living at home. As for my husband…he’s still waiting for retirement.

Piper Meadows is keeping secrets. Some people have noticed she’s different, but they don’t know her true capabilities, and apparently, neither does Piper. But that’s about to change now that a dragon shifter has her in his sights, and he sees more in the gentle loveliness that is Piper than all the stupid men on her home planet.
Baron Alsharma is duty bound to survive and meet with his fellow dragon shifters a year from now. The last thing he planned was becoming side tracked by a human woman, especially one he’s certain isn’t capable of breeding with him and ensuring the survival of his species. That’s his duty too. A pity his heart and mind have other ideas because now that he’s found Piper, he doesn’t want to give her up. His alien enemies and their newfound adversaries on Earth might think they can keep them apart, but Baron and Piper have other ideas. A pity then, that no one told them the Paranormal Detection Agency has a new weapon, one that can change everything.
Ms Teshco’s third book is every bit as entertaining as the previous ones. There are parts of the theme the reader comes to expect, but Baron’s story has a satisfying twist and introduces new possibilities to the series. The previous stories have been about the male dragon shifters, but the next in the series is about Princess Dahlia, and I’m looking forward to how a female dragon shifter attempts to blend into the human world. Something tells me she’s going to be a very strong character. :)

Mel Teshco continues to bring action and adventure in this next installment of the Dragons of Riddich. Personally, I haven't met a dragon shifter I didn't like but Ms Teshco does know how to write a rollicking action-packed shifter romance.
In this story, we focus on Baron as he tries to escape the Tantonics after crash landing on Earth, in Australia to be exact. Baron is a big hunk of a guy at 6'8" and boy, is there is a lot of muscle-y goodness to him! As with all the other dragons from Riddich, you feel a sense of sadness for him because of what they endured and what they loss. But also like the others, Baron is determined to survive and if possible, continue to propagate his race. I liked Baron a lot. He's hot, strong and protective. And even when the odds are stacked against him he doesn't give up. You have to admire a man for his persistence.
Piper took me a little while to warm up to. In the beginning, she was somewhat reserved and very suspicious of Baron. Of course, she would be, he came out of nowhere and suddenly, they are wildly attracted to each other, which is confusing to both herself and to Baron (you'll find out why it's confusing for Baron when you read the story, I won't give that away). And of course, it doesn't help her suspicions when suddenly she's running for her life with Baron because they are being pursued by his enemies. However, given the sudden change of her circumstances, Piper adapted well. She knew her limitations and didn't try to be a hero. BTW, Ms Teshco? That thing with Piper and her hair? I knew what you were planning from the start. I *KNEW* it!! :-p
I had wondered how Ms Teshco was going to make Baron's life difficult and keep it fresh since we've already had books with the Tantonics chasing the heroes here there and everywhere, and Ms Teshco didn't disappoint. Ms Teshco has done an excellent job of making her bad guys really bad. :-) I really hate them. The Tantonics are an evil, selfish race of aliens intent on annihilating the dragons for their own gain, and the Paranormal Detection Agency (PDA) are similarly evil while intent on using the paranormal creatures they capture for their own selfish ends. Megalomaniacs hellbent on ruling the world seems to be a common theme for people's evil intentions.
I'm enjoying this series tremendously. I want to find out what happens to all the dragons who landed on Earth but more than anything I want to see them happy and settled and not constantly running for their lives because even though they find happiness with their mates danger still continues to stalk them. I would like them to find peace.
And finally, I want to know how Ms Teshco reconciles the fact that the heroines are human and live normal lifespans with the long-lived dragons who could potentially live forever because it would suck if one of them died too soon before the other. That's just me wanting them to be happy, together, forever.
Keep writing, Ms Teshco. I want more dragons!
