Sophie
Sophie is a low level witch and when she does a spell for a mate -she gets a dragon. Can two Virgo find love even if they are mates in this book they do.

Where to start.......
Please next time hirer a proof reader, the spelling and grammar mistakes are really annoying. Also this book lasted way to long for a poorly written story. The bits in the story that should of been big and well described were not and the shit little things were described to much. This had potential to be a great story instead I'm guessing Crystal Dawn rushed it and filled it with crap. Sorry Crystal I have enjoyed some of your other work but this was just poor

Title: Zodiac Shifters #19: Dragon in Distress: Virgo
Author: Crystal Dawn
Publishing date: 5 September 2017
Independently published EBook
Pages: 147
Story Line Concept: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dialogue: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Flow:
Story Development: ⭐️
This story’s prologue in the ending of the last book. This book goes into the story of Sophie and Knossos. Sophie is Annie’s cousin; their fathers are brothers. Knossos is a dragon who has been asleep for centuries, and the spell for Sophie’s mate, brings him to her in his dragon form still asleep. Of course, waking in a strange swamp wakes his grumpy ass up.
Sophie is a sweet girl. Apparently, she is as powerful as her cousin by completely untrained. This book reveals that her entire generation has been left without real training per Annie’s dads demands. Sophie has always been confined within the walls of her home, extremely sheltered. It’s only when her Uncle starts demanding she be married off that she gets Annie to spell for her fated mate. Once she meets him, suddenly, his attitude gives her a spine, and she seeks out a teacher and begins to learn her magic better.
Knossos has been asleep for centuries and was supposed to be for centuries more. He’s actual King of the Dragons. He’s also a complete and total ass, at least as first. His personality seems to develop as it goes along. Apparently, first awakened dragons are seriously grumpy assholes. However, his transformation is weird. I don’t know what else to call it. At first, he has no desire to be with Sophie or to participate in the fight. Then he goes on a raid, and decides, okay I guess I can help fight evil, but Sophie is still to passive for him. Then his mom shows up, oh and she’s been Sophie’s family’s cook for all her life, and she puts Knossos in his place. He figures, okay, maybe I can give her a shot. He kisses her, and then can’t get enough of her.
I will say that the dialogue, as long as it wasn’t during the sex scenes, was better than the first book. Not truly natural, but much better than Phoenix Under Fire. During sex scenes, that goes out the window. Those are just awkward.
Once they are together, which makes no sense in the first place, the story gets even weirder. The plot and details make no sense sometimes. In the beginning it’s mentioned that Sophie is the way she is because she didn’t have siblings for a really long time unlike Annie, and as such was extremely sheltered. Then later, it states that her mom only had three kids, because she had three in under 10 years, and the last one was a boy giving them a true heir. So, which is it, because three kids in ten years is not that long to be “alone.” Them getting together doesn’t even make sense. Sophie is so full of doubt because of the way he treated her, then they kiss, then they can’t keep away from one another, then they have sex, and everything is good to go from then on out. All her doubts seem to disappear, and neither one of them can keep their hands off one another. The sex scenes are sometimes sexy, sometimes, it’s all “must have you now, pound into you like a jackhammer, and of course, we both have fabulous orgasms.”
The second glaringly weird storyline item that confused me was Hubolla himself. The first book, he was some name that was the leader of the evil guys, someone that his number two had spoken to and too orders from. This book, he’s still the head of the evil guys, but now he actually lives on another plane of existence, and hasn’t gotten enough power yet to make it to their world? His followers are doing the work in preparation for him, but I don’t get how. Then it’s suggested to get all his followers and send them to him, but this isn’t followed up. It just seemed an odd addition to the storyline. This happened a few times within the story where details were added but not expounded upon, which left me confused. Why add them? If it’s important enough to add, then to me it should make sense as to why it’s there, and so many of them didn’t.
As the story progressed, it got even worse. Events were plopped down not he page haphazardly; there was no flow. I’m still trying to figure out what and where the climax is, or is there several? Seriously, I’m walking away seriously confused by this story, which is just so frustrating, because the story concept has so much potential. I had to give it no stars for flow, because it was simply too jerky.
Typos were also rampant through this one. Now, according to GoodReads, this is the second edition of this book, which actually terrifies me! If this is the improvement, I’m really glad I didn’t read it earlier. Am I sad I read it, no. It has so much potential. As a reader, though, there is nothing that saddens me more than to read something that has so much potential but that hasn’t actualized. Now, it’s to note that many independently published authors run in to this problem because of not having someone really edit their work, and I know that editors cost money, money they often do not have, but if you are going to publish like that, please, do not only have friends read through it. I know it’s hard to take criticism, really I do, but what any good editor wants, is to see an authors vision actualized. To see a story flow, dialogue to engage, and that fabulous story line you imagined to enliven every readers mind.

Sophie is being forced into an arranged mating, so she enlists her cousin’s help to summon her true mate. Unfortunately for Sophie, while her fated mate might be hot and powerful, he’s also not interested. Love isn’t the only issue the couple has though as the battle between good and bad is looming on the horizon, which means Knossos will also need to decide if he’s willing to fight or if he’s going to sit this one out.
I was really looking forward to reading this novel, unfortunately it’s not living up to my expectations. I’ll admit that this is the first novel in the Zodiac series that I’ve read, but it’s not the fact that I possibly should have read Phoenix Under Fire first that’s causing me issues. While I might get more from the book if I read the other novel first, it’s the writing style and spelling errors that are turning me off of this book. There’s an almost overly simplistic style to the writing that I’m finding jarring, as time seems to inexplicably leap forward. Whatever the issue, I’m just finding this book almost painful to read. I liked the blurb and the plot isn’t bad but it needs some serious editing to make it more readable.
Profanity: Infrequent
Sexual content: Infrequent but detailed
Violence: Moderate

Again loved the book I do find it kind of hard that she skips ahead but I understand that at times later the missing time ends up explained in the next book with other characters conversations and kind of hoping that is the case here. Other than the errors that could have been addressed through editing overall enjoyed the book and looking forward to Pru and Gertie's stories ;) Great Job Crystal Dawn.

Amazing book after Pegasus Under Fire
This is the second book continuing the story after Pegasus Under Fire. It is about a dragon shifter and a witch that is human. They are mates but the dragon doesn't want to be because the past burden.
The characters are interesting, erotic, and dramatic fighting. The plot is interesting because the good guys I'm trying to find the evil guys trying to take over the world. I would highly recommend this book.

Loved it! The story is a wonderful love story but the back story to go along with is full of action. This series like many of Ms. Dawn's other series has individual romances that revolve around a bigger story. This is one of the many reasons I love her books. Grab yours today! It will grab you and hold on.

Will he want me?
Awesomeness , still preparing for a war while trying to get to know your mate is hard as a dragons hide. Lol great storyline filled with mystery suspense action and a whole lot of what ifs.

Hmmm...
The overall storyline was great and felt this book was building; unfortunately, missed the mark. I still enjoyed the story, but it could have been amazing with a little bit more attention to some of the scenes. At some points it felt almost like I was skimming the story as it moved from one moment to the next. Also, please do an update and correct some of the errors.

I just love Dragons..
In this one we get one grumpy dragon who has been awoken by a love spell? Well it won't be insta-love for this grumpy ol dragon. And not just any dragon he is a King.
Sophie needs to find her mate or be mated to whom ever her uncle chooses. She enlists her cousin Annie' help.
It will take her Dragon man however Knosso' to figure out what is going on within the witches issues of not having a life.
Will Sophie get her happily ever after?
Well read it and find out.

Holy Crap! I really wanted to like this book. I would have too since the characters were likeable and it seemed to have a good plot. The biggest problem was that I felt Ms. Dawn spent more time on Sophie and Knossos having sex than on the rest of the plot. Who bespelled Royal? Why were all the young witches just willing to sit around and not be educated with their magic? Why, oh why didn't anyone bother to proof read the story or edit it? A dragon does not unfurl its winds. A person does not barley do anything. Even the dreaded to, too, two mistakes.
