by Terry Bolryder

Get all six of the bestselling Awakened Dragons book in this complete series set. Six sexy, larger than life fire breathers with unique, gemstone related powers who just woke up and are ready to defend humanity and learn the ways of the modern world while finding their fated mates.

Warning: contains ferocious dragons, fearsome fights, fiery love scenes and fiercely cute kittens that can melt even a scale-covered heart.

Onyx Dragon
Isaac Morningstar III, or Zach to the few who know him, has hit rock bottom. Once an immortal, nearly-invincible dragon, he's been awakened only to have his powers and his treasure locked away until he can prove himself to be a trustworthy protector of humans. Since Zach has never liked humans, he's pretty sure he's going to end up back on ice. That is, until he meets sweet, curvy Erin, a human hairdresser who might just turn his world upside down.

Sapphire Dragon
Luc, the sapphire dragon, didn't want to be brought back into the world he left behind centuries ago. Especially with a collar that ensures he can't access his incredible powers until he's willing to fight for humanity. He tried that once and he's not willing to let himself care again. Until he meets Hallie, a kind shelter worker whose bright smile and sexy curves melt the ice inside him and make him want to protect humans once more.

Ruby Dragon
Red used to have it all. Sexy, powerful and attractive to all women, as the ruby dragon he had the world at his feet. But now he's awakened and collared, unable to use his powers and alone in the modern world. His only company is his insane adopted cat and Faye, the curvy, sweet neighbor who makes his dragon sit up and say 'mate'. Too bad the only woman he finds irresistible has no trouble resisting him.

Diamond Dragon
Alistair Brighton, the diamond dragon, needs to escape. Imprisoned, chained and used for experiments, his only hope for escape is Bridget, the quiet human woman who brings him his meals (and intrigues him for mysterious reasons). But Bridget isn't sure she wants to let a dangerous dragon out of his cage, and Alistair can't promise he was ever much of a hero.

Amethyst Dragon
With his dark, ominous powers, Dominic, the Amethyst dragon, has learned to keep his world secret. Bad things happen when he tries to let people in. Now that he's awakened, he's determined to help save the world and disappear back into the shadows. Until he rescues Lana, a feisty, damaged human who draws Dom in and tempts him to risk getting close to someone for the first time in so long. Too bad his dream woman has a no-shifter rule.

Emerald Dragon
After centuries of searching, the impossible has finally happened: Aegis, the Emerald Dragon, has found his long-lost mate. The only problem? She's a captive of the dark forces he's allied himself with in order to meet his own selfish ends. But Aegis knows how to be a hero, it just takes the right motivation. Like saving the only person that has ever mattered to him.

Genres; Adult, Humor, Paranormal, Romance
3.5 Stars (average of all 6 books)

This is a condensed version of my reviews for all 6 books. Each book is separately reviewed under my profile name 'Debra Johnson' on the book page.

Onyx Dragon 3.75 Stars
There is some great snarky humor. The romance area was pretty good.
I liked both Erin and Isaac (Zach).
There are some editing errors, but not many........
..I really liked it, but did not fall in love with it. ..... the story was good and a lot of fun to read.

Sapphire Dragon 4 Stars
This is a sweet, little, light and easy dragon romance.
..... Well written with an easy flow. There is humor and very little tension of any kind. ......'Quirky, amusing, moderately adult, paranormal romance. ...a few typos/editing errors.
...A fun read.

Ruby Dragon 3.25 Stars
..... listed in the 'Adult' genre, they really are not overly graphic in any way.
...The writing is pretty smooth and flows easily. You will seldom find a typo or editing error.
..very mild, fun and sweet paranormal dragon romances. Even the bad guy is not all that bad.
...Red & Faye... They may be my new favorites. ....However... They also have humor... enough to make you grin. I recommend these for when you need some light reading...

Diamond Dragon 4 Stars
..few editing, etc. problems and nothing that interfered with the flow of the story in any way.
Biggest problem with any of these is the 'Cheese' factor.
This one is my favorite so far. ..light, sweet and easy reads. ....they barely make the 'Adult' genre. ..And these are definitely fun. ...great reads for those who want an adult read without it being erotic...

Amethyst Dragon 3.5 Stars
....Fun, sweet, sappy. ...less suspense in it until close to the end. ...I liked both MC's.
The suspense at the end was super short and settled quick.
Now on to the last book in this omni-bus.
Emerald. He has actually been one of the bad guys in all the previous books.
And already I think it will be the most intriguing.

Emerald Dragon 2.75 Stars
The dialog and flow was very stilted. This is my least favorite of the series.
It could have been the best. The humor was off. To much inner dialog.
The whole thing seemed rushed.
I was disappointed.

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

After reading about the double dragons in Terry's shifter world, I decided to read more about them with the new series of Awakened Dragons. It was interesting in the sense that these are ancient dragons, trying to adapt to modern times, while also looking for a mate. I thought it would be more collaboration between them and the dragons we already knew, and it was disappointing that they were so isolated, just interacting among themselves and with few interactions with the oracle, that most of the time did nothing. I didn't like the collars she put on the dragons, even if somehow necessary with some of them, it feels unfair. The character of the oracle is hard to understand, or like, the dragons on the other hand are very fun to read about.

I liked the different backstories and personalities of the dragons, and how, despite they all sharing the same background and goals, the author manages to change enough of each story to make them unique, even if the formula is the same and you already know what's going to happen at the end since they all follow the same basic plot, especially the first books.



Onyx

This is the first dragon to get into the world, he is truly out of place, and he acts like a crazy person most of the time, but he quickly recognizes that Erin is someone especial, and she teaches him how to care about humans. He was very cynical and haughty, feeling like he was at the top of the world, and Erin was very positive and always saw the best in everyone, that makes for a good match, since they complement each other.

Zach, the Onyx dragon was sent by the oracle to get to know the humans and find a reason to like them, because she wanted him to fight for them. He didn't think highly of humans and didn't like them, he thought they were bad and selfish, but then he walked into Erin's hair salon and got to know her, she was a very positive person that thought the best of everyone. He felt intrigued by her and decided to stay with her so he could learn more about humans, and he helped her when her salon was about to get robbed. He told her he was a dragon, and she thought he was crazy, but after watching him fight she had to accept something was going on. He stayed with her, and it took him a while, but he realized she was his mate, even if he didn't know it was possible for dragons to be with humans. He protected her from a wolf, and then his friends, and took her to meet some of the dragon pairs, then he convinced her that he was right for her, and once they got together, he got his powers back, just in time to fight an old enemy that had tried to hurt kidnap her.



Sapphire

The second dragon to be awakened, he is put under the care of Zach, the Onyx dragon. He has a lot of baggage that has been dragging him down. He doesn't want to care or be awake, and he is depressed, but when he meets Hallie, all that changed, and he is ready to accept the world again. He was a good dragon from the start, and his problem was that he cared too much, and again, Hallie was the perfect person to help him overcome his fears and guilt.

Luc, the Sapphire was awakened and put under Zach's care. He used to be the only dragon who cared about humans and tried to help them, but after the village under his protection was burned and he went after the men responsible and killed them, he changed and decided there was no point in helping them. Once awakened, all he wanted was to go back to sleep, until he meets Hallie, a human that restored his faith in humanity. Things are going well between them, but he fails to tell her about who he is and about his past, and when Emerald arrives and tells her his side of things, Hallie assumes the worst and they fight. Emerald takes her in an effort to convert Luc to the dark side, but he refuses and once he explain things Hallie helps him see that he wasn't so bad and they get back together.





Ruby

This one was very fun to read. I felt somehow bad about the "sex" dragon, and how none of the other dragons wanted him near their mates. Again, he finds the perfect girl for him, the only one that doesn't fall for him at first sight. Faye is a woman with bad experiences behind her, that mistrusts handsome men, and manages to resist Red. I liked the fact that Red was very sweet and full of good intentions, even if he was doing the wrong things, he was almost childlike.

Red is the next dragon, he wasn't bad in his past, and he loves humans, human women especially, he is known as the sex dragon for his sex appeal. Neither Zach nor Luc wants him around, so they find him an apartment and leave him there, but soon he starts to get tired of women trying to get into his pants. He gets a cat that hates him, and makes a lot of noise, so Faye goes to yell at him to keep it quiet since she needs to sleep, and his cat falls in love with her immediately, and Red is also attracted, mostly to the fact that she is not falling for him like everyone else. He uses his cat as an excuse to get closer to her, and when her ex goes after her he helps her, and starts earning her trust. Then Aegis, the Emerald dragon arrives to try to recruit him, and then his friends attack him and when Faye sees him fighting, she realizes he is not human. After that they have to move to Zach's house, and there he explains everything to her.

Later they are attacked by wyverns, and Red accepts to go with them if they leave Faye alone, so they take him away. When Aegis finds out that they have him and want to use his "sexy powers" to see if he can mate with female wolf shifters, he calls the others to warn them and then helps distract the wolf so she can attack Red. Once the others arrive, Faye accepts being his mate so he can have his powers back and they fight the people there, and go back to their lives, but they also discover that the other side has a dragon, other than Aegis on their side.





Diamond

This is the first book where the plot has a major change from previous books, since Alistair wasn't awakened like the others, but kidnapped and used for experiments. He has an even more difficult personality than the others dragons, in part because of his circumstances, and he keeps trying to act like he is purely selfish, even if it's clear he cares about Bridget, the woman who helped him escape in exchange of his help to find her friend. Their relationship is also one of the most complicated and it has a lot of misunderstandings in the way.

Alistair, the Diamon dragon was collared and taken from the oracle, and they are using his blood to make wyverns. Bridget, a human woman is his only chance to escape, but she has her own agenda and can't risk letting him free, even if she doesn't like the way they treat him. Alistair knows that she is at risk, and when a wolf attacks her and tries to rape her, he finally gets some of his powers back, because the collar allows him to use them if he or a human are in danger. After saving her and out of his cage, he convinces her to run away with him, and promises to help her find her friend.

At first their relationship is difficult, in part because he is still clinging to his past glory days and his revenge plans, and she doesn't trust him fully. With time they start a relationship, and by the time the others find them, things are complicated between them, especially because he refuses to accept that she could be his mate, and it gets even more complicated when they find out that giving her his ring and she agreeing to wearing it is the first part of the mating ritual, and they already completed it. They are still at odds when they go to rescue her friend, but then, when she is put at risk he finally recognize he loves her, and tells her that, and when she accepts he gets his powers back and finish the fight, showing his diamon powers.





Amethyst

Dom is the sweetest and most misunderstood of all the dragons. I don't blame Lana for trying to resist him and not trusting him, not after being kidnapped by shifters, but everything was more complicated than necessary between them because of that. I liked them, the tortured character and the damaged one, helping each other heal. Many things weren't fair between them, but like I said, I understand their difficult circumstances. It was a different story, and even if some, or most things were easy to guess or predict. I liked how they became real friends, I liked how Dom was willing to do his best to make Lana feel safe, it didn't feel like he was trying to manipulate her, he really cared about her.

Dom, the Amethyst dragon was awakened because they needed his powers to help find Diamond, and they were going to put him back to sleep after that, but he found his mate in Lana, Bridget's friend, and stayed to try and win her, only she hated shifters, and after almost being forced to mate with a wolf, she didn't want to be anyone's mate. At first Amethyst was trying very hard to win her, and she felt like she was back with her captors being pressured to mate, and told him off, and then he changed tactics and they became friends. Once he stopped pushing, she started to recognize she had feelings for him, but she was very afraid to take the next step. When two new dragons arrived and she started to spend time with one of them, Dom got jealous and lost some of her trust. That and the fact he wasn't willing to talk about some of his problems made things difficult. Then he had a vision and he knew that the only way to stop something from happening to her was to mate her, but when he told her she freaked out and ran away, falling into Topaz's hand, who forced his ring on her and was determined to mate her. She freaked out and realized that was the reason Dom wanted to mate her, so Topaz couldn't force her, but she was too late, only Dom arrived and started to fight for her. When Emerald arrived and realized what was going on, he forced Topaz to take his ring off, which was only possible because she hadn't accepted it. Then he took Topaz away and apologized. Lana went to Dom and accepted him, realizing she didn't have anything to fear from him.


Emerald

Emerald was the bad guy most of the series, so it was weird watching him switch sides, but his back story was very interesting. From the first book we saw had problems with Onyx and that there was something that was affecting him, some of the other dragons insisted he wasn't that bad and he even helped them a couple of occasions, and in this book we finally get the backstory and the reasoning behind his behavior. The author does a great job of turning a villain into a hero. I also liked Opal, even if I didn't like how she acted like the voice of reason, and still managed to act like a little kid sometimes. Their relationship was a clear example of how simple misunderstandings can complicate things, and this case it was a few decades or maybe even centuries of misunderstandings that a few talks and a little communication managed to fix.

It was a good end to the series, even if there were a few things that didn't make a lot of sense in their war with the dark oracle. In a way it was fun to see all the dragons fighting and see them bonding together, and despite the failings in the plots and few errors in the story. I definitely want to read more about the world.

All Aegis, the Emerald dragon really wants is to find his mate. He was sold by his parents to a dragon that was looking for a powerful dragon to mate with his daughter. He hoped Aegis could be that dragon, but as time went by and he didn't show any powers, the guy started to look for other candidates and kept him to experiment. Opal didn't want to be mated, but she was peaceful and didn't want to disobey her father. When they finally decided who to mate her with, she didn't want to do it, and even fought the guys going for her, but she was young and didn't stand a chance, until Aegis suddenly developed his powers just in time to save her. They ran away together and he became her protector. Since he could read the mind of the people they met, he often reacted to their thoughts, and Opal didn't always knew why he was acting like that or what had caused his outbursts. Aegis always considered themselves mates, but Opal didn't, and during a visit to Onyx she told him she wasn't Aegis mate, and Zach tried to make a move on her, causing Aegis to go ballistic. While they were fighting Opal finally got sick of his aggressiveness and ran away, and got frozen along with the dark oracle, causing Aegis a lot of pain when he couldn't find her.

Aegis found by accident that Opal was being held by the dark oracle, the same woman he was working for, and went to rescue her, and took her to the other dragons, his intention was to find a safe place until he could think of a better plan, but ended up collared and with Opal not agreeing to free him, since she still didn't recognize being his mate. Aegis started to do his best to be who she wanted him to be, but once they started talking about their different views of their past, she finally understood she couldn't change him and that she wanted him just they way he was, and he understood how his actions had affected Opal.

The dark oracle found them and tricked Aegis into exchanging himself for the safety of the others, and then tried to kill him and the others, but they wall fought back, and after Opal defeated the dark oracle and saved Aegis, he was able to take control of Topaz, the rogue dragon and use him to turn the wave of the battle. After defeating them and taking control back, everything was fine again. Only the oracle still insists something else is going to happen and put Aegis in charge of a new group of dragons. So, a new series is coming up.

5 rough Gems turned into Lovable Dragons

Onyx dragon: Zach was pompous and arrogant but I thought he was instantly hilarious because of his belief of superiority on “humans.” The banter between him and his mate was very entertaining and towards the end, Zach’s outlook on humans was completely turned around. It really helped that he began a trend of adopting cats for calming dragons...

Sapphire dragon: Lucien is the sweetheart that has a broken soul. He cares too much about humans and when he discovers his mate, she ignites his “inner man” to come forward and protect her at all costs. And it all starts with a cat.. hmm sensing a theme..

Ruby dragon: Red just moved into a new place to call his own and little did he know he moved in next to his mate. Now, his particular dragon was always known for their promiscuity, so what is he to do when his mate wants nothing to do with him except as a friend? Well, Red becomes her friend and wears down her walls.. especially with the help of his “demon cat,” Pumpkin..

Diamond dragon: Alistair has been tortured and bled for so long, he can’t wait until he’s released to rip all of them to shreds and go back to his life where he was worshipped by the human women. But what is it about the plain girl that keeps bringing his food every day and that scraggly cat? Diamond’s hope for ever getting out his he’ll instantly changes and now he’s on the run with the plain girl and mangey cat from the dungeon...

Amethyst dragon: Dom has always been the quiet elusive one that prefers to be alone to deal with his visions and nightmares. So when he starts volunteering his help to his friends’ mate to find her friend, Lana, everyone is worried. Dom knows he must find her and claim her to protect her. However what Lana’s been through.. she hates shifters. So now what is Dom to do? Oh yeah.. buy not one cat, but adopt a BOX of kittens..

Emerald dragon: After all the brief glances of compassion and caring from Aegis in the previous books, I was beginning to wonder if Aegis would ever get his happy ending... I’m not going to shed any light on this one because it was definitely a page turner leaving you wanting more and I would have to say, leaving this best one for last was perfect from Terry. * Of course Aegis also gets a cat but OMG Cuddles is by far the most peculiar but fits Aegis and his stubbornness perfectly.*

Ever wonder what u would do being human n r confronted by a tall, sexy, drop dead georgous man who claims to be a dragon. Not only that, but u r also his mate. This is the premise of the books in these tales by the author. Each dragon has a different power according to their gem stone with the baddest being Emerald. They were re-awakened by "The Oracle" after being on ice n a collar is placed around their neck that inhibits them accessing their power until they prove themselves worthy. A war between shifters n humans unfolds, with evil shifters bent on ruling/enslaving humans. Dragons must make the choice to protect humans against this threat. Some choose to work along the side of the shifters.
I had to chuckle a bit, because as a form of therapy, cats r used to bond with the dragons. Some of their choices were as broken or damaged as them. Such as a 3 legged cat, one with one bad eye or one that had been previously abused. Picked solely by the dragons because they remind them of a quality shared by their particular mate. Each dragon also gives each other advice on what finally attracted their mate. Which doesn't work.
The last book in the set concerned Emerald. Who decided at the last moment to join his fellow dragons. He'd previously been working with the shifters led by "The Oracle's" evil sister. He changed sides after finding out the female dragon named Opal whom he loved was actually chained up by the sister n being used in her experiments.
There's a lot of action, drama, jealousy, sexy moments, n secrets involved in each story to entertain you. Grab ur copy n find out for yourself.

4.5 stars Easy, short reads full of romance

These are the first books I've read by this author. I took a chance and glad I did. It is heavy on romance and has long adult scenes, that get pretty intense. I like Insta love so these books were great for me.
I didn't give 5 stars only because, they weren't my favorite books, although they were good. They were considerably short compared to a full novel. (I read 1 to 2 each night) And there wasnt a lot of Dragon. What I mean by that is they talk about the dragons, and the shifters, and their dragon sides and qualities, but there are not a lot of scenes with the dragons themselves. I did love their protectiveness.
Just because it is 4.5 stars doesn't mean it's bad. Seriiusly. If you like insta love, steamy hot romance, and dragons (alpha dragons I might add) then this is definitely a series for you.
I'm excited to move on to the next one she has, as a spin off series from this one.

Shocking and good!

I loved the different gems and how each dragon had their own powers. Learning a new world differing from mid evil times is a shock to them, just as learning how to live among humans in this modern age.

Are they going to make it? Will they be put back to sleep? Will the dragons be on the good side or will they turn out to be evil? You will be kept guessing each of these things as you go through each book. So of the dragons are hiding things from each other. Will the oracle be able to get a handle on who is running the bad creatures to war against the dragons and ultimately the humans?

This series of books will keep you engaged. Watch out for grumpy dragons, humans, felines and other shifters. Beware of steamy love scenes, bad food and couples on the run! I loved it all!! So enjoy!

This was a steadily good series. It was fast paced, interesting, sweet, hopeful, sexy, and had some action to keep the reader intrigued/pleased. Yes there were typos, but not so many that it took away from the stories. I liked how each story had its own plot, twists, and different incidents so that the reader wouldn't get bored from reading the same old thing. Each one can be read as a standalone, but I rather preferred to read them one after the other so that everything from the previous story/stories was fresh in my mind.

Overall, this was a good shifter, romance series and I'd recommend it to others who like fast paced shifter stories.

Awakened dragons

I really liked this set of paranormal romance reads each dragon has got his own collar on and he has to find a way to get it released by finding a human mate and getting to like humans but while there trying to woo there mates there is also trouble from another woken dragon who is on the wrong side and wants to recruit these dragons to fight against the humans ....these books can be read alone and they all have happy endings but I like to read the whole series this author has got really good imagination and his writing style is very good if your looking for a good read then this is for you I was not disappointed .

*Sheepish sigh.*

This collection was just what I needed, and just what I expected. Nothing fancy or complex; just a group of super hawt dragon shifters who've been awoken from the Middle Ages, only to find that the world has changed and they must change with it if they're going to avoid being put back to sleep.

These are cute stories with heart, and while most of the 'twists' the author put in were well telegraphed, I didn't find the plot or the characters overly simplistic.

These were just I needed. When the world is going to hell in a handbasket, it's time to read something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy...and a little hot and bothered.

[Monica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read the first in the series. I had trouble connecting with the 2 characters. I dont know why...I just couldnt care about them. Maybe it was the way Isaac came off...hating humans. Which isnt a new thing I've read but I dont know his hatred kinda went beyond and just made me dislike him and I couldnt get on board with him. He rubbed me wrong. That kinda ruined me reading any of the other books. Yes, I know its not fair but if in my mind if I dont like how it starts I more or less might not like the rest. I'm not saying I wont give this a try again and read the next book in the series. Just not now. This is weird for me because I love her dragon books darn it! :)

[Mary Gregg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great box set!!

Overall Awakened Dragons held my interest. The first book in series Onyx Dragon was a little hard for me to get into at first but by the time I finished book 2 (Sapphire) I was in love with the "gemstone" dragons!! I don't want to give away spoilers so I won't say much more. If you love paranormal romance with alpha heroes who happen to have a soft spot for animals (kitties) from the shelter along with a smoking hot romance that will make you laugh out loud and also tear up???? Grab this set and enjoy!!😜

Terry did it again!

Each book is completely HOT, with the beauty of the the masculine men, the romance, and it seems even the fights are HOT!! Such page turning, falling asleep reading, hanging on to the edge of your seat can't put it down love ,fights, and drama. (Falling asleep, because you just don't want to give it up, then you dream it!) I mean what do you expect with a house full of gorgeous men who are of course egomaniacs!! But, you will also see their hearts and the fun they have in sharing that. Totally recommend this to ALL you love a Great para-romance!!

[Shauntavia McIntyre-Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these Awakened Dragons!

When the gem dragons are first awakened they all go through different things when they find their mates and what how they use their powers to save them and their friends. At first Ageis was stolen and working on the evil side with the dark oracle until he found his mate Opal who was his bestfriend that he thought he lost ages ago,I'm glad that in the end all the gem dragons all went through the situations they did because it made them all into better people in the end that all have common goals which are helping win the fight for the good side of shifters who want to help protect and not rule over others.

[Dakota · Rating 1 out of 5]

I bought this book in a set for $.99. The set consisted of all of the serise. Even for that cheap of a price I couldn't get more than half way through the 1st novel. It was just plain stupid, boring, and repetitive. The dialog was stiff and ridiculous. It was just an impossible book to get into. The sex was boring and while it was somewhat descriptive it mostly just glossed over the parts you wanted in more detail. I will not continue w this author or these books.

[Bretta Rowan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action, adventure, and lots of love!

This boxed set was full of daring dragon fights and intimate love scenes. As a lover of paranormal romance, I really enjoyed the way each dragons story intertwined with the next.
Each dragons story moved a bit too quickly, making it hard to put down, but at the same time over too fast. This, and the several typos, were the only reasons I did not give the set 5 stars.

[Irene Marshall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great series

Really enjoyable series has everything you could want in shifter books. Red hot alpha dragon shifters who do absolutely anything to get their mates and who are the most protective caring lovers once they do. There is sizzling red hot sex, lots of romance hot protective alpha males, feisty females and crazy fight scenes, everything you could want in a good shifter series. Really enjoyable entertaining read.

[Busybeth76 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastical, Sexy & Creative

I enjoyed this original world of shifters, especially the dragons with their amazing powers and unique personalities. Each true mate is strong and determined in her own right with a back story that forms her personality and interactions with her dragon. Each book is a true good against evil tale, increasing in danger and action as each adventure unfolds. The awakened Gem dragons are fantastic and magnetic creatures.

[Vickey Mcgee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dragon Power

Oh, wow! I usually don't read dragons for some reason but knowing the great writing style of the author I decided to give this a try. To say I like this would be a lie. I loved each story. I hated to even put it away to sleep at night. The series has everything in it and plenty of action and giggles with some very memorable characters. There is sexual content. Got to read more dragons.

[Elizabeth Renaud · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent read!

If you love shifters, Dragons, and Terry Bolryder's other books, you'll love this box set. This covers the awakenening of 6 dragons, how they meet their mates and the incredible battles they must fight. I think it's super funny and sweet how they all somehow, end up adopting rescue cats. Some sweet, and others a challenge. This collecting is very long, but kept me interested throughout.

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't get enough of these books. I was laughing, crying and on the edge of my seat. I still wanna learn more about the babies and other dragons. More. I want more

These books had everything a girl could ask for, love, adventure, and amazing sex scenes. I just wanna know about the new dragons that werehinting at, and what kind of powers the next generation dragons would have had.

[Analiese Ros · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent As Always

When i finished this box set i tried to think of my favorite couple but i just couldn't. Each story and all the charaters were so well written making it impossible for me to choose. I highly recommend this set to any supernatural romance lover. Terry's writting style with seriously sexy scenes, interesting plots, and never having cliffhangers; has made her one of my favorite authors. I highly recommend any of her books.

[Kristeena · Rating 5 out of 5]

When I found this book on Amazon I was a little hesitant in buying this series. I had not read about dragon shifters before. I am glad I got this series! The author tells each story beautifully not straightforward like you know what will happen like other books...BOOM a surprise happens you did not see coming! I definitely recommend this book series and the ones that follow to anyone that loves this type of books or those that want to step out of their genre and read them!

[Cindy Senn · Rating 5 out of 5]

2nd re-read. Just as good as the 1st time

Imagine a bunch of dragons frozen in time for centuries. Then imagine those dragons awakened centuries later to a new time and place. They scramble trying to figure But the new world they find themselves in. Along comes 21st-century women. Outspoken, spunky, and kind. It's a lot of fun reading about these ancient men falling for these modern women. Oh yeah these dragons are brought out of cyro-sleep to save humans from a evil Oracle.

In The Beginning

5 stars is not enough stars. This is the best combined series I've read in a long while. I never got board. The stories, the pace and proofreading is perfection. If you want to learn about dragons then this is where you want to begin. Wolves, bears, cats and other forms of shifters are good too, but dragons are the ultimate.

[Gloria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love love it

This box set was perfect. I love the colors oxyn,ruby,sapphire,diamond and all of their great names for big beautiful dragons. I love their different personalities, their powers and once they found mates that love was so true. And the fact that these big strong guys I mean dragons loved cats oh be still my heart.

[Roberta Ferrell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I Love Dragon's

Dragon's that can walk in human skin is fascinating. To watch them change from human to dragon and back again is bind blowing and awesome.
To read about and see it in your mind really is great. I give this book a five rating because of the dragon's and their mate's. I would recommend this book to everyone who love the fantasy of Shifters.

[david l hutchison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Marvelous

I have the other series first not knowing of the previous stories were available. I was hooked. Thrilled by them I wanted all of them and now have read them to the best of my knowledge. Aegis was the first they all fell in line. One of the top 15 series I have read and being 76 years old I have read a lot. I take my hat off Terry bolryder.
