Aurora Champions #2
Hot Wings
Pomona Maurin’s biggest dream is landing a coveted position as personal chef to the stars. She’s busted her ass and put her to-die-for recipes to the test, yet gained zero recognition for her efforts. That is, until Gerri Wilder discovers her culinary talents and knows just the “stars” who need Pomona’s skills the most.
Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas are two of the most famous celebrities on the shifter home planet, Nova Aurora. The dragon shifter duo, known regionally as “Hot Wings,” are the reigning Nova Aurora Arena League champions for several seasons running. When a vindictive opponent breaks the rules and nearly kills Bryer during their championship fight, their streak might just be at an end—and so might their careers.
Only dedicated training and a strict diet will ensure Bryer’s return to health, and Ignazio’s recovery from a deep depression, but even that won’t guarantee the duo will make it back into the arena for the next season. They need a chef with the particular talents to fulfill their dietary needs and still satisfy their hungry dragons.
When they set eyes on Pomona, both men know there’s only one thing on the menu for them. Will they be able to convince their new chef that they want to share more than just her cooking?

Uh, no this didn't work for me.I am in the minority here, so I'm not discouraging anyone from reading it. It just wasn't for me. I think it had potential, and i love some shifting other-worldly characters, but man, I got let down. There were times when things were moving along really well and fine but then...and for some reason, some of it seemed to really come out of nowhere for me, I would just be like, ew, really?
First, I loved this connection between Ig and Bry, really, I liked that, and I liked how the beginning set it up.
However, I did not like this "bet", it wasn't even juvenile, it was just nasty and stupid and really lowered my opinion of them, and it was impossible to get away from it! Lord, how much better this whole thing would have been without that.
Anyhoo, definitely high on smut, I skimmed those scenes as I was irritated with the characters but if paranormal mfm is your jam, give it a go.

Good read.
Very good story. The only reason I didn't give it more stars is because it lacked a real climax, no pun intended. I'm not gonna spoil it but I just didn't feel like the ending had enough punch. The female lead didn't make them work for it. It was more " Why didn't you tell me?".... "I'm sorry."..... " ok, let me fall on my back". With all the lead up I had hoped for more. But this is an author I will recommend and read again.

Oh my! I loved, loved, loved this book! I'm just so darned excited, I'm bouncing in my seat! I've been a diehard Ophelia Bell fan since she began her writing career and never, ever miss any of her releases. I've also been a loyal Milly Taiden fan for years and I'm totally addicted to her Paranormal Dating Agency Series. Don't get me wrong, I love all her work too but the PDA is, hands down, my favorite! I've read every single book in the series so when I heard the whispers across Facebook about the possibility of Taiden opening up her PDA World for a Kindle World collection, I was beyond excited but I did have some reservations. Other authors have syndicated their series and opened its world to other writers with some being successful and, unfortunately, some not so successful. I'm a dyed in the wool Gerri Wilder/PDA fan and was somewhat concerned that a visiting author would not be able to capture the true essence of this series, its world, premise, characters, and all the little details that make it great but, folks, Ophelia Bell totally nailed it! It's absolutely FABULOUS! So let's talk a few details!
Hot Wings is an imaginative, well-crafted, fast-paced, easy-to-follow sexy romp with both sci-fi and paranormal elements. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with multiple perspectives from the three protagonists. That's right; I said three as in her, his and his! Oops...a little spoiler but I think if you read the blurb, you already know this is a hot and steamy menage a trois and believe me when I say nobody, and I mean nobody, writes menage romance like Ophelia Bell! Oh my! The dialogue is smart, snappy, seductive, well-executed, at times hilarious, and flows effortlessly. And the characters are absolute perfection. I was immediately smitten with the three protagonists, human aspiring personal celebrity chef Pomona Maurin and handsome alien dragon shifters Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas from the planet Nova Aurora. Of course, we also have the matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder who just happens to be a wolf shifter herself and owns the world renowned and wildly successful Paranormal Dating Agency... or I should say universe renowned since she also has aliens clients hailing from all parts of the galaxy. And she has a perfect track record! There's no match she can't make... even when the parties in question don't even realize they are in need of her services! But when has that little detail ever stopped Gerri? Never! Gerri Wilder is one sneaky little matchmaker and seems to have the uncanny ability to always know what people need, even before they know themselves... just like Pomona, Ignazio and Bryer! Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers, especially ones who enjoy sexy romance filled with agonizing angst, laugh-out-loud humor, heartwarming romance, steamy passion and lots of heat, both in and out of the kitchen, if you catch my drift! Will I read this author again? Abso-freakin-lutely! Ophelia Bell is a master craftsman as well as an exceptionally talented and skilled wordsmith. She excels at creating unique storylines with vividly depicted worlds and beautifully detailed descriptions, then populating her creations with intriguing, engaging larger-than-life characters who will surely capture your imagination along with your heart. And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
As long as Pomona Maurin could remember, her dream has been to become a chef. But not just any chef... Pomona wants to be a personal celebrity chef and cook for the stars. And she's well on her way to success as the Sous Chef at a well-known five-star restaurant. She has devoted her life to fulfilling her dream but she's finally had enough of her rude, crude and tyrannical boss. She probably should have kept her mouth shut but once again, she allowed her temper to get the best of her and blasted her bully of a boss, telling him exactly what she thought of him... and it wasn't pretty. Then, she'd quit her job. Well, kinda. Technically, her boss fired her and then she'd quit, but it's only a matter of perspective, right? Unfortunately, her view of the situation doesn't count because now her boss will badmouth her all over town which will most likely prevent her from ever getting another job locally. She may have destroyed her career and now her dream of becoming a celebrity chef may go up in smoke, simply because she couldn't keep her temper under control and her mouth shut. So, I guess it's a good thing Gerri Wilder was in the restaurant to witness her meltdown and all too ready to work her magic and help Pomona solve her problem. Sadly, Gerri Wilder isn't a food critic, doesn't own a restaurant and doesn't need a personal chef but she does own the Paranormal Dating Agency. But Pomona doesn't need a date... she needs a job! Well, maybe Gerri can help with that as well. She does have a lot of connections and knows two celebrities who will soon be in need of a personal chef. Problem solved! Well, maybe but there are a few little hiccups! First, the job she has in mind for Pomona is not local. Heck, it's not even on Earth! What? That's right; this job is on another planet called Nova Aurora. Oh my! And then, there's the second little hiccup... the two celebrities are not only aliens, they're both shifters... hot, handsome, hunky dragon shifters who are the reigning champions of the Nova Aurora Arena League and they come as somewhat of a package deal since she'd be cooking for them both. Oh dear! What's a beautiful, voluptuous unemployed chef to do? Beam me up, Scottie!
World famous and highly revered dragon shifters Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas have been living the good life for the last ten years as the undefeated Nova Aurora Arena League duo champions. Only two more years and they'll hold the world record on Nova Aurora for consecutive winning seasons. And their final victory for the season was in the bag until Bryer was gravely injured by a jealous, cheating hyena shifter. Now, Bryer may never recover, much less be able to fight in the arena again. But there is a chance, a very slight one. He may be able to recover if can follow an intensive physical therapy regimen, eat the proper foods, and reconnect with his inner dragon. But to heal his dragon, Bryer must find his mate and how is that even possible if he can't get his not-so-little soldier to stand at attention. Oh no! Ignazio and Bryer are famous for more than just their fighting skills; they're also famous for their lovemaking skills! The entire planet knows of their playboy ways and their annual bets of who could bed the most women during their three month off-season. It looks like they need a new bet for this season... who can find their mate first. Unfortunately, neither are thrilled at the prospect of looking for a mate. Why should they want one woman when they can have them all? Plus, once they find their mates, they fear it will interfere with their partnership, drawing them apart. Most Arena Champions stop competing after mating and Ignazio nor Bryer have any intention of retiring anytime soon. It's beginning to look like neither will win the bet this year which also means they may never be able to compete again. But there's always hope, right? Especially when in it's in the form of a beautiful, smokin' hot female chef from Earth recommended by matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder. And this little human seems to attract both men and their dragons. Oh dear! Two men and only one woman??? What are two highly competitive dragon shifter champions to do now? You'll have to read the book to find out!

Well, maybe Gerri can help with that as well. She does have a lot of connections and knows two celebrities who will soon be in need of a personal chef. Problem solved! Well, maybe but there are a few little hiccups! First, the job she has in mind for Pomona is not local. Heck, it's not even on Earth! What? That's right; this job is on another planet called Nova Aurora. Oh my! And then, there's the second little hiccup... the two celebrities are not only aliens, they're both shifters... hot, handsome, hunky dragon shifters who are the reigning champions of the Nova Aurora Arena League and they come as somewhat of a package deal since she'd be cooking for them both. Oh dear! What's a beautiful, voluptuous unemployed chef to do? Beam me up, Scottie!
World famous and highly revered dragon shifters Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas have been living the good life for the last ten years as the undefeated Nova Aurora Arena League duo champions. Only two more years and they'll hold the world record on Nova Aurora for consecutive winning seasons. And their final victory for the season was in the bag until Bryer was gravely injured by a jealous, cheating hyena shifter. Now, Bryer may never recover, much less be able to fight in the arena again. But there is a chance, a very slight one. He may be able to recover if can follow an intensive physical therapy regimen, eat the proper foods, and reconnect with his inner dragon. But to heal his dragon, Bryer must find his mate and how is that even possible if he can't get his not-so-little soldier to stand at attention. Oh no! Ignazio and Bryer are famous for more than just their fighting skills; they're also famous for their lovemaking skills! The entire planet knows of their playboy ways and their annual bets of who could bed the most women during their three month off-season. It looks like they need a new bet for this season... who can find their mate first. Unfortunately, neither are thrilled at the prospect of looking for a mate. Why should they want one woman when they can have them all? Plus, once they find their mates, they fear it will interfere with their partnership, drawing them apart. Most Arena Champions stop competing after mating and Ignazio nor Bryer have any intention of retiring anytime soon. It's beginning to look like neither will win the bet this year which also means they may never be able to compete again. But there's always hope, right? Especially when in it's in the form of a beautiful, smokin' hot female chef from Earth recommended by matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder. And this little human seems to attract both men and their dragons. Oh dear! Two men and only one woman??? What are two highly competitive dragon shifter champions to do now? You'll have to read the book to find out!

Hot Wings – Aurora Champions - Ophelia Bell
On Nova Aurora, the Shifter home world, EVERYTHING is better when Dragons have Hot Wings!
Ophelia Bell is IMO the undisputed Queen of Dragon romantic/erotic storytelling. This book did not disappoint! It is everything I thought is was going to be and more!
Pomona Maurin, budding master chef on Earth throws herself into a new assignment in a galaxy far, far away! After throwing in her job at a leading Earth eatery Pomona finds herself as the live-in chef of the known celebrity Playboy Aurora Champions - Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas, a Dragon Shifter pair with a reputation as unbeatable in the Arena! They are also equally well known for their unequalled accomplishments of finesse with females!
As fate would have it, the way to a Dragons heart (and their recovery after a cruel injury from a vicious opponent) is through their dietary requirements! As Pomona quickly learns, it is not so easy to say no to the persuasive pair of dragons and soon the trio form a rather spectacular bond!
If you adore Ophelia Bell as I do, you will read this book no matter the endorsement I give. She is just so accomplished in her chosen genre that the words just flow from the page and before you realise it, BOOM!!! You have reached the end of another succulent tale!
The usual warnings for language and steamy scenes making this an 18+ read.
I gave it five stars!

Brilliant! I loved the authors style of writing, loved the plot, loved the characters and am addicted to this series as much as Ignazio and Bryer are addicted to Pomona's food and body.
Pomona's dream is to be a personal chef and after being fired/quitting her current sous-chef job, she has the lucky fortune of meeting Gerri Wilder, professional Matchmaker and just the person to help Pomona find a new job.
Ignazio and Bryer are dragon shifters and World Champion athletes. The duo take a hard blow when Bryer is injured during their last fight of the season and the only hope for him to recover fully is to eat healthy and possibly find a mate.
Ig and Bry instantly recognize Pomona as their fated mate upon first sight but both are too stubborn to admit it, to her and to each other. They currently have a bet going that the first to find his mate wins but there are extenuating circumstances that prevent them from claiming her.
This book is written from a multiple pov (menage romance), can be read as a standalone and is a H-A-W-T fast read. Recommend for all dragon shifter lovers.

The book was hot, but dumb AF.
Why would you lie to your best friend? Why would you make their healing process a bet? Why would you both lie to the person you've been waiting for?
The guys were dumb bros, the chef was just doing the stereotypical running around instead of having a conversation schtick.

Sorry, but I don’t like to wonder how many STDs the heroes have after having sex with hundreds of women; Especially being that no one in the Paranormal Dating Agency series believes in condoms. Their bets were juvenile and just plain gross.

Paranormal Dating Agency: Hot Wings
by Ophelia Bell
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW! OMG This story is FANTASTIC! It's such a fabulous reading and I am so impress with how FANTASTIC this story is! This is about two Dragons finding their mate and it's so creative with just the right amount of awesomest. Ophelia Bell writing is one of the greatest and foremost descriptive storytelling that allows me to see and feel as I am pulled into the story while I read. Her story concept is well written with characters that's well developed. This features two Dragon shifters Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas are two of the most famous celebrities on the shifter home planet, Nova Aurora. They are a dragon shifter duo known regionally as “Hot Wings. The two are the reigning Nova Aurora Arena League champions for several seasons running.When Gerri Wilder discovers Pomona culinary talents she knows just the “stars” who need Pomona’s skills the most. Pomona Maurin’s biggest dream is landing a coveted position as personal chef to the stars. When a vindictive opponent breaks the rules and nearly kills Bryer during their championship fight, their streak just might be over. Pomona busts her butt and put her to-die-for recipes to the test, but when Bryer and Ignazio set eyes on Pomona, both men know there’s only one thing on the menu for them and that's Pomona their Mate. What a story its ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS and I have enjoyed the characters, they are sizzling hot, interesting, exhilarating, intriguing, sensual and charming. The dialogue is sensual, witty, exciting, fun and believable. This story is fast-paced, with a great flow which you won't be able to put down, it's steamy hot, there's drama, sex and I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this book and I can't hardly wait to read the next book that Ophelia Bell writes because each book gets better and better.

A heartwarming, sexy and easy to get lost in kind of book.
I loved this book! Everything about it appeals to me as a reader. The story is interesting, the characters are easy to love and have good relationships amongst themselves. I enjoyed it even more because it is just extremely well written and obviously the author took the time to make it as polished as she could before publishing it. The story has an easy to follow, nice and even flow. The dialog is consistent with regular conversation and not tied up with any hard to understand or pronounce new terms or situations, which is kind of becoming an issue with some sci-fi books I’ve read recently. There is no drag at all with unnecessary exposition or long drawn out inner monologues, it is all just perfectly paced! Ignazio, Pomona and Bryer are full characters, and even the minor characters were cool to read about. Each one brings their own perks, kinks and hang ups to the situation. There are so many instances in the book where you can see that there is something deeper going on than they are ready for, that you just want to read on to see when they finally get it! There are some really hot, like I mean really hot scenes that will make your eyeballs sweat when you read them, done tastefully and consensually.
No aliens were harmed in the writing of these scenes. I was gifted a book and voluntarily read it and enjoyed it enough to leave a review for others to decide for themselves. You just need to read this book and fall in love with some dragons, man!

** ARC RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW**
(As per author's request, review has been posted on the release day of the book)
This was a super cute read, but not in an annoying way at all. First off, I was so fucking hungry throughout most of the book and I didn't even know what half the food and desserts were, but the way the ingredients were described and the way everyone seemed to enjoy the food, had me scrambling for my own goodness!
Pomona, lovely name, was an awesome character. She was witty, smart and didn't shy away from what she wanted. It was refreshing to finally read about adults who actually act like adults instead of stupid ass teenagers. Between Pomona, Ignazio and Bry, they made everything work. Even when they decided to just keep things in the friends zone, there was no awkwardness nor tension, everything just kind of clicked and that made the story so much more enjoyable! Ignazio was a bit of an ass, trying to literally screw himself to death and subsequently doing the same to Bry but kudos to both of them for being loyal and faithful to Pomona onced they realized who she was, even if they were jackasses in keeping the information to themselves and from each other.
Overall it was a sweet, cute and enjoyable quick read, with smoking hot chemistry that leads to even smokier and hotter sex!

Bryer and Ignazio were the reigning Nova Aurora Arena League champions and their future was looking bright until a poor lose clawed Bryer with poison right after the championship match was over. The poison was so bad that Bryer was hospitalized for weeks and there are doubts if a full recovery will be made. The doctor said that the best way to Bryer to heal is for him to reconnect with his dragon and to find his fated mate. Ignazio knows that Bryer will need incentive to find his mate so he changes their yearly bet from who can have the most women to who finds their mate first.
Pomona is a human chef who makes Gerri Wilder's favorite dessert. After Pomona is fired, Gerri arranges for her to become the private chef for two star athletes on another planet. When she arrives, her bosses, Ignazio and Bryer are super hot looking guys. This job seems to be a dream job. Both men realize that Pomona is the one for them but neither is willing to act on it. Bryer is still having physical difficulties from the poisoning and is afraid he isn't "up" to mating her. Ignazio is holding off in order not to make his friend and partner feel bad. Neither man mentions to each other or to Pomona that she is their true mate.
This is a great story with a sweet menage romance. I voluntarily received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

Well hell! How do I review this? I loved Ophelia Bell's books, but I have been in love with Milly Taiden's "Paranormal Dating Agency" world. Since the beginning. But I have to say if anyone could do justice to such a great series it would have to be Ophelia. The book is so well written you can almost not tell the difference. But I do love the spice she brought to this book.
This book is about Pomona and two devilishly handsome dragon shifters. Ig and Bry. They are athletes but when Bry is injured so bad his dragon cannot heal him. They only chance he has of recovering is to find his mate. But he does not know this. It's when he finds her he has a small problem (well maybe not so small) but it will make it hard to claim his mate. But at the same time he finds his mate but wont claim her till Bry finds his. Freaking typical men. If they just talked it would be so easy. So now it is up to her to cook to help get them to talk. She just may have the answer they need. Also I want that recipe for that spicy chocolate mousse too.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book, please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it when you do; they value your opinions too

Pomona is a chef, that is all she wants to do. Then when one door closes on her another one opens. The person to help her find and fulfill all her dreams, even the one one that she didn't know that she really wanted, Gerri. Gerri help her find a job as a personal chef on another planet, which Pomona is okay with. She get to start over and make a name for herself if things go well. But then she sees her employers and other thoughts starts going through her mind. Will Pomona be able to act professional during her employment?
Ignazio and Bryer are champions and use to getting any and everything they want. But an injury to Bryer has set them both back. Their only hope is Pomona. But will they let their secret prevent them from helping each other out? And will they run her away with all the yo-yo acts they are doing to her?
I really liked this book. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. The flow of the story was on point. You will fall in love with the characters. This is my first time reading this author and I can wait to pick up another book by her. I highly recommend this book to others.

Chef Pomona Maurin’s biggest dream is to be a personal chef for someone famous. She has worked really hard and tested her amazing recipes but not received any recognition until Gerri Wilder discovers her and knows the "stars" who need her skills the most. Dragon shifters Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas are famous celebrities and the reigning Nova Aurora Arena League champions for several seasons running. A vindictive opponent has broken the rules and almost killed Bryer so their streak of success is over as might be their careers. The cure is dedicated training and a strict diet and so they need a chef to make sure they stick to the diet and their hungry dragons are satisfied. When they set eyes on Pomona they know there is just one thing on the menu for them - but can they convince their new chef that they want to share more than just her cooking?
This was a sweet story of misunderstandings and miscommunications that needs a lot of unpicking in order to get to the conclusion of this story. Some of it was great and some of it went a little too far and just become annoying. Well written and easy to read and understand, it was easy to feel and understand their thoughts and emotions. Contains explicit sexual content.

The world knows food can heal but when love is added to the mix anything can happen. This book is part of the PDA series and Gerri Wilder is a matchmaker with a twist. My feelings were so confused - I was so hunger and hot under the collar at the same time. When a culinary genius quits her job as a sous chef working under the boss from hell, Gerri Wilder just happens to be there to offer her a job as a personal chef to a pair of extremely hot Champion Dragon Shifters on the planet of Nova Aurora. These two are the ultimate in players. Their off season time seems to be a personal competition between the two of them in who can take the most women to bed. The twists and turns that these two go through to finally claim this culinary genius as their mate (yes both of them) will leave you cheering. You need to read the book to find out how sweet and loving and stupid they really can be. The hot steamy off the charts dragon sex will lead you to need a cold shower (or a willing partner - LOL). Can I get Gerri to find me an off-world mate?

I loved Ophelia Bell adding to Milly Taiden story line. I have read all of Milly's stories and Ophelia's so this was such a great surprise and added bonus.
Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas are famous fighters but are down for the count due to injury. They need special treatment that includes diet and time off. Enter Pomona who's biggest dream is to cook for famous people and have them enjoy her food. But she had no idea what she was getting into when she decides to go to a different world and work for two hot and steamy dragons.
This is a great paranormal romance that brings two strong individuals together, that have worked together forever, but yet are surprised when they both fall for the same woman. And a woman that even in her wildest dreams never thought she would want two men together let alone two dominant dragon fighters. The three of them all together is a hot storm of sex and romance.
Loved this book and it is a great addition to this collection!
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

But she had no idea what she was getting into when she decides to go to a different world and work for two hot and steamy dragons.
This is a great paranormal romance that brings two strong individuals together, that have worked together forever, but yet are surprised when they both fall for the same woman. And a woman that even in her wildest dreams never thought she would want two men together let alone two dominant dragon fighters. The three of them all together is a hot storm of sex and romance.
Loved this book and it is a great addition to this collection!
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Pomona, Ig and Bry
Pomona is a human chef. She cooks fabulous meals at a five star restaurant. That is until her jealous boss fires her. Geri Wilder goes to the restaurant at least once a week because she loves the new recipes and a delicious chocolate mousse. When Geri over hears Pomona's argument with her boss, she follows her into the bathroom. Geri offers to find her a private chef job working for shifters.
Bry and Ig are dragons on planet Aurora Nova. They are champion athletes. After the final match of the season when the ref was announcing them winners, the loser hyenas cheated and clawed Bry with poisoned claws.
In order to recover he needed three things, strong physical therapy, the right meal plan, and his mate.
When their current chef goes on maternity leave for six months, Pomona steps in. Each dragon knows that she is their mate at first sight but doesn't tell each other or her. Things happen because neither tell the truth about the mating situation.
This is a good addition to the PDA books. I love a good menage.

Who You Gonna Call.......
And she's at it again, no one can match them like she can......Gerri Wilder that's who!
Pamona has always dreamed of being a great chef and Gerri gets her one, only thing is it's on another realm.....Nove Aurora to be exact and boy is it the dream job.....Gorgeous kitchen that you only dream about, but more than that her bosses are decadent, the kind you want to eat up.
Bryer and Ignacio are the dragon reigning champions on Nova Aurora, no one can beat them, unless they cheat of course which is what happens in the form of poisoning Bryer and the only thing that will cure him is a very detailed diet and finding a mate. Both dragon shifters have always been in sync in and out of the ring and bad boy Ignacio is willing to sacrifice anything to help his partner regain his old self back, even if it means giving up his mate? But can it be that they both have the same one? Their new chef is very hot and her cooking is to die for, can they both survive her cooking.

Still liking this authors Gerri world best after the original PDA from Milly
I need to stop reading ahead! Especially the endings, it's a bad habit I've developed as a reader waging to get any drama out of the way these days, but with certain good books, like this one, it ends up ruining it more than if I'd been patient and read from beginning to end no ff skips..
Side note: for anyone familiar with these two make characters and their reputation with women and their "bet", it's not as bad as one might think given how well known as lady's men they'd been written as. I was PLEASANTLY surprised with the lack of manho-ness this story had despite preconceived notions. Again I've said it about this author before, she has a way with writing things( topics that I normally find off putting ) in such a way that it isn't distasteful and rather than annoy or detract taking the reader" out of the story", so to speak, she makes it flow making the story better for it with us being more immersed with the characters so that we can just enjoy the read full stop.
Thanks

I love paranormal romances and menage so this was a great choice for me. The paranormal dating agency is a fun series that I recommend and each is a standalone.
Pomona, Ignazio and Bryer make great friends and lovers. Pomona is looking for a new start and cooking for these famous dragons shifters on another planet seems like a good plan. Ignazio and Bryer are in a bad place. Bryer is recovering and has concerns about his future. Ignazio is trying to be supportive. They are shocked that their new chef is their mate and not ready to proceed. It leads to some misunderstandings.
I really enjoyed the story. I liked that Pomona is a strong female character and stands up for herself. They really make a great triad and have this amazing chemistry. They just have to learn to communicate better and be honest about their feelings. The dragon shifters really change their lives when they meet their mate and show her the respect she deserves.

Holy crap of a fire cracker!!! This book delivered so much heat, I think it scorched me!! I mean hot damn!!!Everything about it was sizzling! Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from the fabulous Ophelia Bell!!! Pomona is a career driven chef, when she loses her job and gets another one offered to her that was only suppose to be temporary, she ends up with more than she bargained for. Cooking for two deliciously hot dragon shifters. Little did she know they were cooking up some massive heat their selves. The chemistry between the three of them was absolutely amazing! And I loved every second of this book! This book will definitely make you laugh, while also making your panties wet! Word of advice make sure you have a bucket of ice or a lot of cold water, because this book was a scorcher!!!
I voluntarily agreed to read this amazing book! And this is my honest review!!

She knows her Dragons and proves it in this very enjoyable read. I loved Bryer and Ignazio, dragon shifters that were a working duo and celebrities for the sport they hold a championship title to. Pomona (love her name) is a talented chef who is with the dragon shifters to cook for them while their chef is away for maternity leave. This all comes about due to severe injuries Bryer suffered at their last competition and he needs a special diet to recover and their chef being absent. The dragons are sweet and sexy and Pomona is described as having a curvy body but she is a very talented chef and a really lovely lady too! The dragon shifters recognize that Poloma is special and hope to have a chance with the chef.
I recommend you read this book, Ophelia knows how to put a complete story together, keep your interest and make you smile as you read her words, it's an excellent story!

Amazing story about Dragon shifter finding their mate
Ignazio and Bryer are a fighting team, champions, and best friend. Bryer was wounded and poisoned bye a loser shifter. Buyer's doctor believes he will completely healed by having a mate.
Pomona is a chef who cooks fantastic healthy foods that is healing to dragons. The two dragons are keeping secrets from each other as well as Pomona. Will they tell the secrets they hold CLOSE to their hearts?
The characters are relatable in that there are reluctant to share their secrets, integuing, and unique personalities. The author's protrayal of the plot in vivid, fast-paced drama.
I loved this series about paranormal dating agency because the matchmaker seems do the matching of the characters without telling them who is their mate. How does Gerri know who their mate is?
Highly recommended.

OMG, smut goddesses, this is one of the best book ideas I could have ever imagined! Two of my all time favorite things; Ophelia Bell writing in Milly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency world. YES, PLEASE! I could not wait to get my grubby little hands on this tasty nugget and it did NOT disappoint! This story is well written and full of feels, not to mentions a lot of sexy-fun-time. If you have the slightest interest in a great dragon shifter story or just a sexy little nugget of love at first sight, you have got to grab this one! I loved it so much that I didn't want it to end. I requested this as an ARC so that I could review it, but really because I was dying to read it. This is a PNR must read!
