Even though I am the only one writing, Fiffy is always here to assist me with inspiration.
My characters are like people inside my head that won’t leave me alone until I give them life on paper. I really enjoy writing fantasy romances and I’m thrilled to be doing it full time.
Thank you so much for reading my books!

I was way behind my goodreads reading goal. I have read 37 of the 100 books goals I set this year. I saw the cover, thought it would be plain smut. But the short page count convinced me to read it.
I am surprised by how good it is. Though I felt the book could've been better if it also included the Dragon's POV, I still enjoyed. And there's barely any smut in it. I enjoyed reading it.
Though I know it would be cheating to read novellas to pump up the number of books I read, I am also reading long fantasy books by the side. Moreover, in a few years to come, if the book has made an impact on me, I will not remember the page count, but the storylines and key plot points.

Dragon gone
A good premise but too short to create character building and kind of choppy. The romance needs to build more to give the reader a better connection.

Short but good
This story good, but it was on the short side. It could've had more detailed romance scenes but still good. Thanks for writing it.

It could have been so much more... but as it is a short story, a lot of things get unexplained, the characters underdeveloped, and the romance doesn't feel real.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this... I won't call it a book when, in my opinion, it's more like a short story. I've never read any of the shifter genre romances before, and that's mostly because I didn't think they would appeal to me. I really and truly enjoyed Daniella's style of writing. I was sorting through the current "free" offerings in the Kindle romance category, and I sort of giggled when I saw the chiseled model with strategically placed chain-bound wrists. I thought "oh why not?" and downloaded it. I was curious, so I started reading, and much to my surprise, I was VERY quickly drawn in to the tale of Laney, the former foster child and self-professed "stray" and Kyle, the dragon shifter. All through my childhood, and a large part of my adulthood, I was an avid reader, but in my early 30s I started finding it more and more difficult to stay focused on anything really. My work suffered, as well as my love of reading. I was eventually diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, but I digress. I only relate that part of my life in order to convey this - even though I've learned to deal with the ADD, I still have trouble concentrating on books unless they truly grab my attention, and I usually do better with something shorter, rather than long, sweeping, epic tomes. Best Unchained was a wonderful length, and an easy read. It was enjoyable, and it didn't demand too much of me. I only noticed a very few errors - typo and/or grammatical. There are many several "bonus" books included with Beast Unchained, and I will be reading my way through, and reviewing them forthwith. Daniella Wright is a talented young lady, and I believe she has a promising future as an author. I'm very glad I took a chance on my first shifter story!

19 yr old Laney is escaping from her rich abusive boyfriend Lance Carter. He is the head of a violent gang. She goes to steal things from one of his safe houses and hears noise in the basement. She finds a dragon chained up. When she releases it, it takes off. Later she is headed to the bus stop and is molested by four men. Just before she's raped the dragon saves her. His name is Kyle Danner. He makes his money in the illegal fight games that Laney's ex boyfriend runs. It does have a happy ending.
