Rent-A-Dragon: Box Set

Rate this book

All three of my popular Rent-A-Dragon series, available now in one great box set!


Steel

A dragon as a handyman?
Ridiculous!

At least Liam Steel thinks so. Sure, he and his crew of newly-awakened metal dragons are experts at building things, but after being sunk at the bottom of a frozen ocean, all they want is to find the mates they were sailing in search of in the first place, and Liam isn't sure how that can happen while he's playing in the dirt. Until he meets his first client, a sweet, curvy, no-nonsense business-woman busy taking care of everyone but herself. His heart screams 'mate', and he's ready to get his hands on more than her yard...


Iron

A Dragon Mechanic?
Unheard of!

Unless you're Magnus Ironside, a metal dragon who just awakened in the modern world and happens to be obsessed with cars and their inner workings. Add in the fact that his mate just walked in to hire him to work at her auto shop, and Magnus is one happy dragon. Now he just has to flex his pecs, show her his huge 'axe', and everything will work out, right? Wrong!


Titanium

A dragon contractor?
Expensive...

Unless you're the woman Titus Kroll just fell madly in love with. As a decisive, capable, and newly awakened metal dragon, Titus is used to seeing what he wants and going after it. Right now that's Bree Durell, a sweet, curvy woman who needs help with her house badly and can't afford to pay. Still, his heart says she's his mate, and no matter the price, he's ready to serve her every need, whether that's repairing her home, healing her heart, or restoring her trust...

Familiar Formula but Very Enjoyable

The new dragons introduced in these books were very interesting. I enjoyed their personalities, their weapons and their looks.

These books flow nicely into one another.

Rent-a-Dragon boxset by Terry Bolryder is a 5 star read.
I read each of these books individually and I loved them all, so if you haven’t read any of them then grab yourself a bargain. Terry has a brilliant way of pulling you into the adventure of the story.

A dragon shifter box set full of the scaled alpha males we love, Viking style. A handy man, mechanic and contractor search for mates with rivals around every corner.

This is a three book series published in April 2017 and available in a box set. The books are broken down by each metal dragons type: Steel, Iron and Titanium. Each story is on the shorter side but reads like a larger book all together. A shifter romance with erotic scenes and mature themes. As a spin-off of the Awakened Dragons series we see reoccurring characters Aegis, Opal and Citrine, but these can be read as standalone. Non-violent kidnapping trigger warning. We meet the lead dragons of the next spin off series, Rent a Dragon, throughout these. Body positive series with curvy heroines. Complete HEA for each couple and no cliffhangers between books. My rating: 4/5.

"You were the light in my darkness. I want to be yours." -Magnus

Synopsis and Review

If you are familiar with Bolryders books then you know she is an excellent world builder and has a well-rounded shifter universe that consists of all kinds; bears, dragons, wolves, lions. She has several dragon series that are very popular, if not the most popular, that started with a ménage style series. This series, like all her others, is not ménage style and has one couple per book. They are mostly on the lighter side of paranormal romance so I recommend her books for readers new to shifter romance. I think her books are best all read in order because her characters do overlap a lot but it's not completely necessary.
This series starts with Aegis, a gem dragon, and his mate Opal watching over the three metal dragons and guiding them to find mates. Liam, Magnus and Titus were awakened from the bottom of the sea where their ship was sunk centuries earlier as they set sail to find mates. They are already rather well adapted to modern time and with the help of the un mated Citrine dragon, they open a handy man business to hopefully meet their mates. Luck would have it that each mate shows up to the mansion they live in to hire a man for one reason or another. Unique in this series each dragon has his own ancestral weapon that can be wielded out of thin air, more or less, and the ability to talk to each other over great distances telepathically.

The Steel Dragon
Captain of their crew Liam finds his mate first. Kate is an over worked single woman who recently left a bum ex boyfriend and is being harrassed by her neighbors about her run down home and yard. She is short on funds but hires Liam to be a fix it man. With the word "mate" immediately echoing through his head, Liam swoops in to fix her home, protect her from an over interested and belligerent neighbor, and convince her that not all men pretend to be something their not. Just as he gains her romantic interest he confesses he is an ancient dragon and she is his mate.
Assuming the man is crazy, Kate becomes standoffish. But during an unexpected visit from a rival dragon, Dante the gold dragon, Kate watches man turn to dragon and is unwillingly convinced Liam isn't crazy. The rival crew, the precious metal dragons, make their presence and determination for revenge against Liam's crew known by kidnapping Kate. They are also searching for mates and would like to exact revenge for a mysterious betrayal by trying to woo the Vikings mates. Liam, backed by Magnus and Titus, rescue Kate and incapacitate the gold, silver, and platinum dragon crew.

The Iron Dragon
Magnus is the mechanic of the crew with an unfiltered mouth, past trauma and guilt as the builder for the ship that sank and almost killed his crew centuries ago. During an episode of insomnia due to flash backs of the wreck, Titus drives his sports car upon his mate broken down on the side of the road. Lindy is a firecracker mechanic herself and doesn't need his helps despite his pushiness to change her tire for her. To his chagrin she thanks him and drives off without giving a backwards glance. Unable to find or contact the woman he just knows is his mate, Magnus spends days in bed moping over his missed opportunity.
But as fate would have it, as it so often does in our romance novels, Lindy shows up to their mansion to hire a mechanic/bodyguard for her auto shop. A rival shop has been verbally harassing Lindy into selling after her father passed away. Magnus convinces her that he is the man for the job and backs it up with his mechanical skills and ability to effortlessly beat up the goons that show up to physically torment Lindy at her shop. As the couple get closer Lindy confides in Magnus her grief over losing her father to cancer and her emotional turmoil with her recent ex that used her for control of her shop. Magnus, waking from nightmares in the bed they share, refuses to confide in her his trauma over almost getting his crew killed and creates a wedge between them.
As this happens Lindy runs off by herself to the shop and get's taken by an unknown foe. A shape shifting Mercury dragon, with a mysterious vendetta, has kidnapped her in an act of revenge Magnus has no knowledge of. Despite explaining he has no idea why Mercury would want to harm him and by extension Lindy, the two dragons fight. Magnus is the victor but Mercury escapes after confessing he sabotaged the crews ship those centuries ago, releasing Magnus from his self imposed guilt. Both Lindy and Magnus confess their feelings and decide to mate, then move into the mansion with everyone until the Precious metal dragon crew and this new solo antagonist Mercury are gone.

The Titanium Dragon
Titus is the most viking-esque of the crew, with his long blonde braid and massive size. He finds his mate in Bree, a sweet artist, who needs help fixing her home before the controlling boss/ex-landlord she ran from has an inspector condemn it in order to force her dependence on him. After accidently offending her and watching her run from the mansion during an appointment to hire him, Titus shows up to her home insisting he can help fix it and she can pay him by painting his portrait. Noticing her being bothered by a rude neighbor and her ex-boss he also convinces her to let him stay in her guest room.
He fixes up her roof, learns about Bree's need for independence from men, runs off her verbally abusive neighbor, and poses for his portrait while slowly gaining her trust despite hiding his intentions of mating her. Just as she is opening up to a romantic relationship with him the Platinum dragon, an old friend and new foe, shows up without his crew to challenge Magnus for his mate. He says Titus took his mate so he's going to pursue Bree in return, despite Titus having no idea what he is referring to. A few days later Bree turns him as she is falling in love with Magnus but just as quickly finds Titus hasn't been completely truthful about the type of relationship he was seeking.
She tells him to leave her property and he appears to do so, but Platinum is laying in wait to capture her from her yard. Titus, the protective man he is, pops out from his hiding and stops the abduction. A fight between the two dragons begins, Gold and Silver show up to fight Titus unfairly 3 on 1 for a moment before Liam and Magnus arrive to even the odds. During the fight , the precious metal crew keeps referencing an injustice the Vikings have no knowledge of. The fighting stops abruptly so they can all figure out the miscommunication that has made the other dragons so bent on revenge.

Want the end and all it's spoilers? Read on!

"Because I want to love you, not own you. Because I want to protect you, not control you. And because I want to make sure you are always free, not put you in a cage." -Titus

As it turns out the Mercury dragon we saw in the Iron Dragons book want's revenge on both crews. He sabotaged the Vikings ship causing their wreck and sent false notes to Platinum from Titus wanting to meet at a specific location to challenge him for a woman he thought was his mate. When gold, silver, and platinum arrive an avalanche buries them and almost kills them. This is the crime they think they are avenging when really Mercury set them all up. We never learn why the Mercury dragon is doing this and we don't see his reappearance either.
Agreeing they have been deceived both crews resolve their issues and the precious metal dragons agree to move into the mansion, join the good shifters side, and find their mates. Aegis throws power-limiting collars on the dragons (first used in the gem dragons series) that keep them from turning into dragons or using their powers for evil. They are inventions made by The Oracle, the powerful and good leader of all shifters in Bolryders universe, and are used to make sure newly awakened dragons don't harm humans.
Titus and Bree make up and mate, meeting everyone at the mansion for an announcement. Aegis and Opal are expecting a child and are retiring from guiding the dragons. Citrine will now watch over and guide the precious metal dragons to find mates. Liam, Magnus and Titus can go home with their mates as the Mercury dragon appears to not be causing any more trouble. This is a well rounded and fulfilling end as well as the start of the next series- Date a Dragon!

I read each of these books individually and loved the series!
Steel: Liam is the steel metal dragon who was frozen in ice for centuries until the oracle found and melted them. He and his friends are searching for their mates under the watchful eye of Aegis. Liam and his friends are very viking like and love to drink and fight. Aegis and Opal decide that just going out to bars will not bring them to their mates so they come up with a new plan. The metal dragons are very handy with their hands so they start up a handyman service called Rent a Dragon.
Kate hires Rent a Dragon to help her out with her new house. She had to hurridly move from her ex's house and her new house looks like a junkyard. Liam is sent to her house to help her out. At their first meeting at her house, Liam's dragon shouts mine. Now Liam has to figure out how to court Kate and tell her the truth. He does lots of work at her house and a labor of love. Kate is super attracted to her handyman. He is everything she could want in a man but she is cautious due to past bad experiences.
Iron: Magnus is another of the common metal dragons that was found and awakened after their ship sank several hundred years ago. Magnus is the technical genus of the crew. He had designed and made their ship and now he can fix anything he can get his hands on but cars are his favorite. His car gives him the same freedom as his ship did so he spent his night driving around hoping to meet his mate. One night he sees a car stopped by the side of the road with a flat tire. He stops and helps the woman even though she repeatedly said she didn't need the help. She is very cautious around Magnus and speeds off as soon as she is able. As she drives off, Magnus' dragon claims her as mate, but it is too late, she is gone with no way to figure out who she is.
Lindy is having a rough time. Her father recently died and her garage is being threatened by a rival business. Her ex-boyfriend also embezzled from her so she is down a mechanic. She turns to Rent a Dragon for help. She needs a bodyguard/ mechanic/repairman. When she arrives, she meets her new employee Magnus. He was the man who helped her change her tire an few nights ago. Magnus seems too good to be true. He is great with cars, a hard worker and protective. Too protective since Lindy has learned that depending on a man could be bad. She tries to keep her distance.
Magnus is thrilled because his mate has been found and he is working for her. He is doing his best to be a great mate and trying to take care of her but Lindy pushes him away. Then she gets threatened by her rival company and go goes all out to protect her.
Titanium: Bree is an artist who bought a run down house trying to get away from a horrible living situation. She has been looking for a handyman to help fix up her house but she doesn't have enough money to hire any one. Then she goes to rent a dragon. She is intimidated by the castle like building they are based in and the big gorgeous guy answering the door is a bit much. When Aegis insults her house and leaves her alone, Bree is ready to leave. She returns home sad and discouraged. A few hours later there is a pounding on her door and her down falls in. It is Titus the guy at Rent a Dragon and he wants to help her fix up her house.
Titus is immediately drawn to Bree when he answers the door. He is unsure if she is his mate until she leaves and his dragon speaks up. He goes to Bree's house and offers to help her fix up her house (starting with the door he broke). When her neighbor comes over and threatens her about her dog running loose, he stands up for her. Watching her fear when she opens the door has him deciding he is going to stay with her and protect her. He offers to do all the work in her house in return for a review as a handyman and a picture. Titus is doing his best to win his mate when a dragon from his past shows up claiming to Bree to be Titus' boss. Sever the platinum dragon wants to steal Titus' mate in revenge. He blames Titus and his friends for taking his mate and burying him in an avalanche.

I love Terry's Dragons - every single one!

Steel -
There are only a few things I enjoy better than a new Terry Bolryder dragon book. This new series let's us get to know the metal dragons. The New York dragons (Double Dragons, Desired by Dragons, and Destined Dragons) were paired and each color had a different power (healing, durability, precog, etc.). The Awakened dragons (Onyx, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Amethyst, and Emerald) brought us bigger and badder dragons. Now the Rent-Dragons are here and they are quite metal. First I want to say, is that you don't need to read the two previous series to read this series but if you want to get the background scoop on Aegis (my all time freakin' favorite dragon) Opal, and Citrine, you will want to read the Awakened Dragon series.

Aegis has been assigned by the Oracle to help the metal dragons integrate into modern society with the hope that they will find a mate and have a reason to join the battle of good vs evil (of course on the good side). It's Citrine's idea to put these handy dragons to work and hopefully, meet there mates while being kept busy, out of trouble, and out of Aegis' hair. Liam, Titus, and Magnus have some different powers and abilities but they are still giant, overprotective, marshmallows when it comes to their mates. I loved this intro to a new series and cannot wait to see what the author has in-store for this new batch of dragons and of course I have my fingers crossed for more Aegis.

I want to thank the author for offering these books in the Amazon Kindle Unlimited program (as I usually borrow as soon as they become available). I also received an advanced copy from the author. I will also purchase this series if the author graciously bundles them up in a box set like she did for the New York and Awakened Dragons (available for 99¢ each - an awesome bargain).

Iron -
Terry's dragons never disappoint. Magnus and Lindy are both grease monkeys and have so much in common that there is no doubting that these two were meant for each other. I love the inclusion of the pets (the gemstone dragons have their kitties and no the metal dragons' mates have their puppies) and that the dragons treat them well. Even though I love getting to know a new metal dragon, I love it even more when we get more Aegis (the Emerald gemstone dragon) - who seems to always steal the scenes he is in and makes me more enamored of the dragon that can literally make you play a game of "stop hitting yourself" (his words, not mine). With the new revelations in this book, maybe there will be something special in store for the precious metal dragons that we met in book #1 - Steel (I always have my fingers crossed for new dragon stories). Once again I cannot recommend Terry Bolryder's dragons strongly enough. Every single book is an entertaining read. Every dragon is a tall, handsome, well built, overprotective softie that will do anything for his mate

Titanium -
Terry Bolryder's dragons are always a must read for me. This is the third book in the Rent-A-Dragon series and even though you can read it as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading the series on order (for better understanding). Titus and Bree are great and I loved Biff. The story is awesome and I could not put it down. As always, I eagerly await any glimpse of Aegis (the Emerald dragon from the Awakened Dragon series- a freakin' fantastic series) and the author has decided to bless him (and us) with more of his story in this book. With the new developments in this book, I am anxiously awaiting the nobles and can't wait to see their mates put them in their places.

This is a great box set by Terry Bolryder. Now you can read all the great stories in one place. Below are my previous reviews on the books in the set. Having read all three books in the Rent-A-Dragon series. I cannot make up my mind which one I like the best. All of them are well written as usual.

Steel Dragon : Well this is a wonderful spin off of the Awakened Dragon series. The metal dragons have been awakened from the sea. Liam was the Captain of the ship that sank. He and his crew have now been taken under the wing so to speak of the Awakened dragons. The plan is to find them mates enter Rent a Dragon.
Kate needs help fast and turns to Rent A Dragon, where she meets Liam who is assigned to help. Little does she know he really is a dragon and is bringing trouble with him.
Liam knows Kate is for him, he just doesn't know how to tell her. His old enemy the Gold dragon tries to steal his mate. Why is he doing this and is someone else behind it?
Will the past feud cause Liam to loose his mate? Will Kate accept who and what Liam really is?

Iron Dragon l: Another great story in the Rent-A-Dragon series. I enjoyed this different spin from big bad dragon claiming damsel in destress. The challenges both face are down to earth. It made it hard for me to put down. This is about Magnus the Iron dragon who can fix almost everything. What happens to a dragon who feels responsible for his crew ending up at the bottom of the sea. Now in the present he still carries the guilt, a very human feeling. He helps a woman and after she is gone he realizes she is his mate. What do you stay in bed and hide. Will he ever find her again?
Lindy is a very modern independent woman. She dislikes the fact that Magnus changes her tire which she is capable of doing. She ends up calling Rent-A-Dragon for help with her auto repair shop and protection. Who does she get Magnus which doesn't fit her plans. Will these two every meet in the middle? Will Magnus allow Lindy to be more independent than he and his dragon like? Will she allow Magnus to breach her wall of self reliance?

Titanium Dragon: This is Titus's turn his mate must have her house aka dump restored or her ex boss is going to have it condemned so she has to go back with him. Being a titanium dragon Titus can mold his element it can resist corrosion and repair damaged. Which are good traits to have when having to repair his mates house. All is going well until an old rival comes calling.
Bree Durell has been raised by a viral abusive father and has run from the same kind of boss. She needs an affordable contractor to fix up her house. She hires Titus to do the work not knowing why he is really their. She trades painting his portrait in exchange for the work he does.
Bree has sworn off men so why is she so attracted to Titus? Why has the silver dragon sown up at her door? Why does he really want to stealthier away from Titus.
I enjoyed this book and give it 5 stars. " I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Readers Copy of my own free will".

An excellent series!
Steel
This really hit the spot for me!
The first thing that came to mind when I read the title and description is that these dragons would be made of metal...hah! Not quite right. I've not yet read the Awakened Dragons series (soon), or I would know better. I love the idea of Mates meant to be together and all that goes with it. That Steel moves slowly and does his best to not scare off his human Mate is admirable. Kate is a strong woman, used to doing what she must to keep going. Finding a man like Liam is an extraordinary experience for her; one she would love to get used to. She is slow to trust, but Liam eventually wins it. This is a delightful love story, with excitement in the form of battling dragons, and with a mystery yet unsolved. Hmmm, something to look forward to, along with finding mates for Magnus and Titus. And then? More anticipation and great reading!

Iron
Magnus is magnificent!
Magnus, the Iron Dragon, is filled with doubt. Can he truly protect his mate when he couldn’t keep his crew safe? He has found his mate. Beautiful Lindy Dunn struggles to keep her dad’s auto shop afloat. I like her. She’s strong, competent, not afraid of a little grease or hard work. As for Magnus, he’s devoted to Lindy and really works at giving her the space she needs. In the mean time, someone’s out to destroy her business. Magnus does a bang-up job of protecting Lindy. One slippery assailant down for the count. I love this story! It’s packed with danger, some important revelations, and hot dragon romancing.

Titanium
Trust is hard-won, but the rewards are wonderful!
I'm really enjoying this Rent-a-Dragon series! Bree Durell has been tricked, controlled and lied to far too often. Now, she needs a contractor to fix her home, so she can realize her dreams of freedom. Titus is just the guy to do the job. Bree is strong, determined and very wary. I personally think Titus is adorable, but she's got him between a rock and a hard place. Whatever he does, it will look like he's just like the others.
Watch what happens when Titus strives to win his mate. There are battles to be fought, enemies to vanquish, answers to puzzles, mates to appreciate and love. And, still more to come, I believe. Enjoy!

This is another deal from the author of Rent-a-Dragon series. These guys are hot, but need some training in dealing with humans. There is steam, humor, and some tenderness along with fighting for good--and their females. Just one example is Steele:

Rent-a-dragon? Just tell me where. Steele is one of his crew of three dragons who had been frozen for hundreds of years. Once the Gem dragons had all been settled with their mates, the future army needed more and these dragons were awakened. Emerald Dragon is charged with watching over them as they search for their mates. What to do with them in the meantime? Sweet Opal helped come up with the idea to use their knowledge and abilities to repair things around them as the basis for Rent-a-dragon. Kate became the first client and the first mate. Steele's job is to woo her and friend her without giving into his beast.

Kate has a real fixer-upper. She's not sure a man so beautiful will be a good handyman. Little does she know just how good. Not only that, he's great with her big unruly dog. I enjoyed their time getting acquainted. Steele tries very hard to follow the advice of Emerald and Opal to win her. She is getting more and more needy. When Steele makes a small move, she is all go. You'll enjoy the situation after their first kiss. That is until danger enters their lives. He has to protect her. Can he do so and hide his dragon? If he reveals even to protect her, will she be ready?

Now, how does he keep under control? Explain what a mate is? Most of all, explain about his dragon? This is a great story, the start of a series I won't miss, and another win by Terry Bolryder. Don't miss it.
I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

Definitely a terrific box-set

Terry Bolryder, never ceases to amaze me with her technique, storylines and superb style, whenever she gifts us with one of her amazing novel's.
I often wonder how Author's are able to put together a Box-set without each book's story appearing to be so alike, yet as seen with these book's, they are all definitely looking for that special someone, yet each event and situation is totally different, giving us three great reads with character's who are determined to find their other half no matter who or what tries to stop them.
From Titus who realises early in his attempt to win over his love, when you meet the person who makes you complete, your accepting the here and now along with whatever might have effected them in their past history.
Even though these are magnificent men, all very different from each other, yet almost as brother's would, each dragon will do anything needed to care for and protect each other in any given situation, including doing everything possible to keep their growing families safe and always supporting any decision they might make, even if it's a strange request, staying together in a protective tight group keeps each of them plus their mates safe and secure, as they learn to live in a different time and place where dragon's no longer exist.
Three wonderful stories that are exciting and full of intrigue as these dragon's try to learn about the world of the twentieth century and hopefully find the one person the universe created just for them.
Anyone who lives paranormal romance will want to read about the fun and adventure these three dragon's get into while looking for their mates.

3 Metal Dragons and 3 stubborn, proud mates

Steel: Liam was the Captain of his crew when they were sailing across the ocean to find their mates and ended up frozen at the bottom. Now that they are awakened, they are again on the search for their mates. However, this crazy idea Citrine came up with? Renting them out as handymen? How were they to find their mate? Well surprise be it that Liam’s first client as a handyman is his mate but with a lot of trouble and hurt in her past. So instead of just fixing up her landscape, he will be fixing up her heart to love again. And just like Terry.. there’s a pet involved, but it’s a dog!!

Iron: Magnus loves tinkering with things, especially cars. So when he finds a damsel in distress he obviously helps her, then watches as his long time awaited mate drives away. Thinking he would never see her again, fate decides to put them together again. Except she doesn’t need a man in her life just a mechanic, and a bodyguard. Her troubled past also comes to haunt both of them, but which is worse? Her past or Magnus’ constant sorrows that he caused his crew to be frozen at the bottom of the ocean?

Titanium: Titus the ever calm and collected one of the crew, is at his wit’s end wanting to find his mate. So when the new client is hiding under a table in their castle, he is instantly smitten and determined to not let her go. But is his determination going to scare away someone that will never trust another man? Titus has a large order as a contractor to fix her broken home and her broken heart.

Rent-A-Dragon

Steel
Steel Dragon or Liam had waited a very long time to find his Mate and now he had to “work” a job to find her. But he was willing to do anything for his Mate. Liam was sure that he had found her when Kate arrived to hire an all around handyman to do work on her home. Now he just had to convince her.
Kate was tired of men always being lazy and not completing what they had said they would do. She was sure no man would be as committed to working as herself but then she met Liam. Could she believe that he would continue to work hard and would he always be what she needed? Would she accept everything about Liam too?

Iron
Magnus has always believed that he was the cause of the death of his crew and felt that he should have known something was wrong. He could not believe totally in himself even when he found his Mate Lindy. Why should he be happy?
Lindy was cautious about men because one had taken advantage of her and almost ruined her business so when she met Magnus she questioned everything about the relationship. Could she trust him with herself and her business or would he be like the other man in her past?

Titanium
Titus knew he would find his Mate but he didn’t realize it would be so hard to not say anything to her. She had problems with men controlling her but Titus just wanted her to be protected but free.
Bree was tired of men saying she needed to be protected but in actuality controlling her in every decision she tried to make. She thought she had that with Titus but was it false? Was he trying to control her?

STEEL Sign me up!
Yes! More dragons! Liam and Kate are so good together. There is a good bit of humor when they meet at first. Liam has been frozen for hundreds of years and hasn't adjusted to modern ways. Kate is a workaholic with a lack of confidence so Liam has his work cut out for him to prove she is the one for him. Add in a rival dragon and you have a real page turner. Next we have Liam's friends and their adventures so we will learn more about the metal dragons. 

IRON Even better than the first!
The action is heating up for the metal dragons as Magnus the Iron Dragon goes to work as a mechanic in Lindy's garage. This couple has some issues to overcome on the way to happiness. She is afraid to love after her father's death and he feels responsible for his crew ending up at the bottom of the ocean since he built the ship they were sailing on. There is a rival dragon with some unusual abilities and a long-standing vendetta against the metal dragons that hints at some exciting developments for Titus' book.

TITANIUM Best one yet!
I loved Titus and Bree. Poor Bree has been the victim of controlling men all her life. Titus has to rein in his super protective instincts and let things develop slowly. Another metal dragon tries to put the moves on her, a battle ensues, we learn more about the rivalry between the two crews of metal dragons, and the mysterious Mercury is still lurking around. I'm looking forward to the adventures of the next crew of dragons.

Can these two work together? Great read. On to the next installment of this series.
Book 3 - Titanium -Bree was free to do whatever in her own home. It needed a lot of work, but it was hers. When she goes to meet someone at Rent-a-Dragon, she's sure she cannot afford them.

Delicious Awakened Metal Dragons Out To Find Their Mates

The delightful story of a Metal Dragon Viking Warriors crew of three friends awakened to the modern world. They have to acclimate to the new world while they are intent on finding their destined human mates. They all three are good-hearted, patient, strong warriors and bent on to only please and treasure their beloved mates. The all three women are strong-minded and independent with careers of their own and issues with their past. And all three women have dogs as pets, not cats this time. Also there are three other dragons, the Noble Metal Dragon crew, out there with an ancient grudge to settle. Will they all be able to solve their problems and find true happiness and freedom and adventure?
The set of this story is a little different from the one outlined in the end of the Gem Dragons Series, but the world is still the same with side characters from the earlier stories appearing also in this one. There is also heart-warming humour in the story along with romance, hot scenes and action.
I bought and read this box set, but I have reviewed all three stories individually.

Terry Bolryder’s Rent-A-Dragon box set is a fun and exciting series about a crew of three newly-awakened metal dragons who are learning to used their building skills to fit into the modern world and find their mates. In Steel, Liam and Kate discover love as they work on her fixing her yard. In Iron, Magnus discovers his mate when he’s hired to work as a mechanic in Lindy auto body shop. Their love blossoms as they work together to find out who is sabotaging her shop. In Titanium, Titus works as a hired contractor to repair Bree’s falling down house, while protecting her from a crazed stalker. I really enjoyed this series. It’s a quick, light hearted read about finding your soulmate in the most unexpected ways but working together to make it work.

Metal Dragon Mates

This was yet another fun series from Terry! Three Metal dragons have been awoken from the bottom of the sea. It is now time to find their mates, but just how do you do that in mdwern times? Well of course you get roped into Rent-A-Dragon by the dragobs looking after you! Liam & Kate, Magnus & Lindy and Titus & Bree must learn to navigate in a world where the women dont know about dragons. Check out thesed stories and see how the men work their way into telling each woman what they are. There does seem to be danger lurking around the co rner though, and each dragon may just have to fight to the death to protect their mate. These are some sexy, sweet stories that will have you believing in dragons!

I'm excited to see these together! I loved reading these stories and this is a great deal to get them all together. Id love that the dragons have something to relate to what kind of Dragon they are. With these being 'metal' dragons the nice little twists she throws in make them better than anything I could have imagined. You fall in love with these dragons a little more with each story and I really enjoyed their interactions with each other and their mates as they found them. These 3 are just the tip of the iceberg into the this new chapter of dragons and their stories are fun to read as they rent themselves out. I received this title for my honest opinion.

Fun reads... but

The only problem I have with this set is that I have read the series of the precious metal dragons. This series uses dragons from other series as villains. It was difficult to envision characters I had met in their own novels as bad guys. Of course, there was a true villain lurking in the background, but even he sounded familiar to me. When you read so many from a particular author and that writer reuses characters, it can get complicated. That’s the only reason this set didn’t get five stars from me. All in all...excellent stories and characters. Good job!

Rent A Dragon! Yes please!

Rent A Dragon. Three sexy as heck dragons looking for jobs and hopefully mates. Sign me up! These guys are hard working, protective, and completing out of their element. Combine that with three smart, sexy, strong women and you have fireworks. I am in love with Steel, Iron, and Titanium. It was very hard to put these books down. You need to read Rent-A-Dragon!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Ms. Bolryder's dragons are always magical. The three hunky, Viking dragons in this box set are no exception. I read all three stories when they were originally released and loved all three. Having them in a box set makes it easier to read one after the other. As a bonus, you are introduced to characters that set up the next two dragon series.

Big sexy guys....whats not to like?

The 3 novels kept my interest with romantic stories of 3 dragons who ( in human form ) pursue 3 lucky ladies to be their forever mate. The best part ? These women don't have " perfect bodies " in other words , they are overweight. With voluptuous and rubenesque figures , they are still hotly desired and lusted after by these gorgeous men ! It's nice to read about women who figures resemble mine !!

Fun

These were fun to read. Each story unique and flowing beautifully. While I read this series first not knowing it was a continuing series from the previous gem dragon series i didn't feel too left out as each book focused on each couple with an overall theme. I can tell the danger in these books must continue in the next series. I plan on reading them all eventually. Reading about men who work with their hands? Whoa baby I'm in!

I enjoyed these stories

I loved all of the different stories and the twist at the end. It would be lovely if all of the women didn't seem to basically be the same figure. I mean curvy is great but it gets redundant reading over and over. Women are beautiful in many forms. Also, why must the mates always be human when there are shifters out there. Regardless I enjoyed these and I will read on to the next adventure of the noble dragons.

Romantic, fun and adventure

I loved meeting Liam, Magnus and Titus. Rough around the edges, with hearts of gold, especially when they meet their long awaited mates.
If you love romance, protective men/dragons, and adventure, you will love this series. But I would suggest you read the awakened dragon box set first. You don’t have to. But I like reading a series in order. Either way you will fall in love with these 3 dragon men.

I read the books individually when they were released, but I had to get the box set too. (Yup they are that good!) The 3 stories are different from each other yet they are all extremely hot, the characters are strong and  complex i found some parts of the story were really funny. The only problem I have is that I can decide which one I like the best


I bought the set on Amazon.ca

Great boxcset

Kindle unlimited purchase
By Terry Bolryder
From Book 2 Magnus and Lindy’s story
“So mushy.” Lindy said
“Mushy?” he asked.
"Romantic,” she said.
“I don’t see why romance has to be ‘mushy,’” he said. “Romance is hard, strong, hot. Unbeatable.”
If you like romance with your romance book well look no further than Terry Bolryder's books... Every book has a HEA...
