Mated to the Ocean Dragon

Rate this book
She creates imaginary dragons.
Until a real dragon sweeps her off her feet…


There's war looming in the dragon world.

As the last of the three elemental dragons to find his mate, ocean dragon Timothy is racing a clock, trying to find his mate before the enemy dragons find her first, and destroy the world—along with his chance at happiness.

Curvy Liana is a thirty-year-old geek, spending her days working on a children's computer game about dragons, and her nights dreaming of adventures that are real instead of scripted. And then a man with eyes like the sea crashes into her average life, sweeps her away in a tide of desire, and tells her that the fate of the world rests in her hands...

The fire dragons are ready to wreck the world’s fragile balance of humans and shifters—and all that’s standing in their way is the love of a charismatic billionaire shifter and his geeky mate.

Combining romance, action, and magical dragon shifters, Mated to the Ocean Dragon will delight fans of TS Joyce, Terry Bolryder, and Harmony Raines. No cliffhangers! If you love intense, powerful dragons who want to protect the world, pick up this steamy, interracial paranormal romance today!

Really good series. This is my favorite book of the series so far. I have a thing for ocean/sea dragons. There is something super sexy when you cross a dragon with the passion and beauty of the ocean. And the female MC is super interesting and likable as well.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I buy all of Zoe Chant’s books because I love her HEAs and her style of writing! I do own this whole series!

The cover fits in with the rest of the series! It is a matched set!

This is the 3rd story in this series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy content.

This book made me chuckle at pairing Timothy and Liana together, but you will have to read the story to see why. Of course there is tons of action because the fire dragons are causing trouble again. But there is an unexpected and welcome twist that I loved at the end. You know I won’t spoil it, so you have to read to see. I like Liana a lot and the fact that she is a programmer rules! I can’t wait to see what Zoe cooks up next in this series! Things are definitely heating up!

I highly recommend to all dragon shifter fans who love protective dragons, adventure, and romance!

I received an ARC and I voluntarily leave my honest review!
I was looking forward to Timothy's story and happy to say it didn't disappoint. So happy to see that Timothy's womaniser ways were exaggerated and he used it as a cover to hide his true self.
Liana was ok but on occasion seemed to be really down on herself a bit to much but otherwise very likeable and I loved how she became the Lady of the water, nice touch.
Lots happening in this book all of which I enjoyed, especially Timothy's relationship with his element of water, it was beautiful.
Loved Wing Island with the huge array of different shifters calling it home.
Great to see the truth about Braedon and his fire element and I look forward to reading his story as well.
The Chimera and Ginny as well as the previously mentioned characters were all there and it was great reading about them again.
Overall a great addition to the series.

Great book!

Mated to the Ocean Dragon is the third installment in the Elemental Mates series. I've read the two previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them and this book i liked even more than the two before it! To be quite honest, when reading the first two books, i wasnt very fond of Timothy, the Ocean dragon. He was that typical rich, arrogant, playboy billionaire who loved to brag about all the supermodels he sleeps with. He was the perfect example of that stereotype, which made reading the story of him finding his mate, a very pleasant surprise! His mate Liana is basically the exact opposite of the supermodel type that Timothy has always gone for in the past. She's a bbw, black woman who works as a coder for a game based on dragons thats marketed for preteens. She's pretty, but with low self esteem thanks to an ex, as well as a geek and proud of it. I loved finding out that Timothy has hidden depths to his personality, he's not the selfish shallow billionaire he shows the world. He's very charming, so much so, that people dont really see past that persona he uses like a shield. That is until he meets Liana. Being his fated mate, allows her to see the sweet caring man, hidden behind the facade. Like the two previous books in the series, this book has lots of sweetness, steamy scenes, and plenty of action in that magical world of shifters that Zoe Chant so seemlessly creates. I'm a big fan of the Elemental Mates series and I'm really looking forward to the next book, which I'm pretty sure features the Fire dragon Braedon. Braedon is up until this point, the not so bad guy, who's been imprisoned for attacking the storm dragon's mate. If you like shifter romance with a dose of action, this is definitely one book you will want to read. Just make sure to read the first two Elemental Mates books first. There's too much backstory in them to be able to fully grasp this book without having read the first two books in the series. Book 1 is Mated to the Storm Dragon, book 2 is Mated to the Earth Dragon, and book 3 is Mated to the Ocean Dragon. Obviously, all written by the very talented Zoe Chant.

Becoming A Reality!!!

With the war srill looming in the dragon world, Timothy Drago, thw dragon of water and the last of the three elemental dragons to find his mate. He was running against time to find his beloved before the fiend found her first and destroy the world.

Liana Robinson, a programmer was working on a game for children about Dragons. She was dreaming about advenrures, she never imagined that her dreams would come true in the form of a sexy as sin man who crashed into her life.

Timothy and his Dragon knew that Liana was their mate from the instant they saw her. Talking and dancing with her was the highlight of his evening and ro find out what she did for a living was pure join. There was an immediate attraction between them.

He was tasked with watching their captive, the fire dragon Braeden whom we've met in MATED TO THE EARTH DRAGON . Turned out there was some surprises surrounding the fire dragon.

Timothy told Liana about his inner animal, at first she thought it was a joke until she was proving wrong. They all found themselves in peril but they stood up to the enemy as a team.

Loved how the female mates had Braeden's six. It's was a pleasure to see how the dynamic between everyone on the council changed beautifully.

MATED TO THE OCEAN DRAGON is the third standalone paranormal novel in Zoe Chant's  ELEMENTAL MATES  series. What a beautiful and intriguing ride.

Elemental Mates (3) Ocean

The last of the 3 Elemental dragons unmated, Timothy has been told to find where the fire dragons are and also to find himself a human mate. Liana was a gaming nerd, she didnt care, she had her game, it was a Dragon game, with a gorgeous water dragon. Although the bosses had changed her work, taken it in a different direction, people left but others joined. It was her sister's birthday, she was a successful lawyer and was dragging her out with her and her friends, and has a guy she wanted her to meet. Timothy didn't understand why he asked his lawyer if she had a sister and agreed to meet her. But as soon as he sees her he is so glad he did. She is the one, his mate. They were at a club and dancing, then talking, she was perfect, Liana couldn't believe her luck, he wasn't at all what she expected, she really liked him. He took her home in his limo, he kissed her and asked to dinner the next day. Back at his apartment Timothy had a call from Ginny, the Chimera's housekeeper, he'd had a dream/vision of him & a circle of flame and darkness. So he decided to stand guard at Liana's apartments, the next day the fire dragons arrived.

Definitely a Must Read!

🔹️Liana Robinson is a Programmer, she works on game that are popular with young girls. Breeding and Decorating colorful dragons for competitions. Being a coder was great until boss wanted thing uncalled for but the new policy confirmed it. Finding out shifters existed was a shock, having them trying to kill you was different.

🔹️Timothy is a Dragon Shifter plus he is a billionaire who owns many businesses and the Dragon Tower. Timothy was quite a playboy but one blind date changed everything for him.

💥I have voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my own and honest.

Third book in this series and an enjoyable read through KU.
Liked Liana and though I was a bit annoyed at her being down on herself, Geeky, Nerdy, Curvy as descriptives were used too much, she was well balanced and very entertaining.
Timothy smoothed out and it was good to know his playboy ways were exaggerated.
Loved the town of Wing Island and wish it were a real place to live in. The coffee and donuts sounded superb.
Loved the truth about Braedon and will be reading to see what happens in regards to Braeden and his pursuit of Steel.
Just really needed proof reading as there were silly errors and the wrong context and incorrect words used. (Timothy hesitated for a morning. MOMENT.) These should not get through proof reading.
Also, Liana talks about having seen Timothy’s hoard but she hasn’t.

Timothy and Liana

It was Timothy's turn to find a human mate. He was a dragon in charge of the element of water. He went to the city and signed up to a bunch of dating sites but no one caught his eye. One of his lawyers set him with her sister to go to a club. Timothy was also in charge of helping Braedon(a fire dragon) learn about the human world while bring unable to shift or use his powers.
Liana went out with her sister reluctantly. She was an introvert who works writing code for video games. All of her previous set-ups thought she was too much of a geek.
But when Timothy and Liana first made eye contact they forgot about everything going on around them. Timothy knew that she was his mate.
This story moves us forward into the war with the fire dragons. I loved the interaction of Braedon. He seems to be a jokester. I can't wait to find out what happens in his story.

I loved this book. Timothy was a powerful Ocean Dragon, Liana was a coder who wrote games about ocean dragons. What a perfect pair. When fire dragons attacted Liana, Timothy had no choice but to tell her everything. Since she didn't know anything about shifters, it was a shock. The fire dragons were trying to kill her before they mated, as once they were mated, Timothy's powers grew.. Another element of the book was Braeden (a fire dragon who was a prisoner) He wasn't in a cell, but he couldn't shift or fly. The story was very good and left room for more stories, especially about Braeden.

Timothy the Ocean Dragon and a computer geek girl! Fun!

Timothy goes out for dancing and meets his mate at last, but she's very different from what he expects. Still she is perfect. I loved how the playboy Dragon fell for his geek so quickly.

Liana is a great character and just what Timothy needs. This story has a breakneck pace, an exciting adventurous tone, a storyline that is both action and character oriented, steamy scenes and some downright cute characters, even Braeden. I loved this and look forward to the next story for the Fire Dragon. Read these in order and prepare to be blown away! I was! Enjoy..

A delightful romp!

What's not to like, a nerdy gaming coder of Dragon games of course is rescued by the ocean Dragon and looks just like the water Dragon of her dreams er I mean game of course. Now what could possibly go wrong? Well of course a few things do and a few more things so exactly right! It's a cute romantic romp, I only have it a three because I felt there were too many questions left hanging. I understand it's part of a series but I just felt lost and unsatisfied with plot several times. But that said it's a great short easy to read paranormal Dragon romance and what's not to enjoy about that?

Despite being surrounded by people, Timothy longs for something more. Liana has always longed for someone who understood her. Instantly the two find something in each other, but someone is determined to destroy them. Will Liana accept what Timothy is? Will Timothy be able to prove he's more than a billionaire playboy?

Loved the chemistry between these two. I loved how accepting Liana was once she had proof of what was happening. Loved how Timothy was this big softy and no longer the playboy everyone thought he was. Really hoping the Fire Dragon gets a mate! Great read!

This is the third book in the Elemental Mates series. I would recommend reading the first two, Mated to the Storm Dragon, & Mated to the Earth Dragon before reading this one. Having more background will come in handy.
Liana is a game designer who lives in a virtual world filled with dragons. Little does she know her virtual world is about to become reality. Timothy is the Ocean Dragon and looking for his mate. These two have an unexpected meeting and of course sparks fly!
It’s sweet but sexy. I hope we get Breaden’s story next!

Timothy and Liana

The Ocean Dragon has found his mate. The third of the Council of the Elements has come into his full powers with his mating to a black beauty. She's a coder and game programmer and her main character is a blue green ocean dragon. Braedan the fire Dragon turns out to be the fourth element that the mysterious plinth has appeared for and the enemy turns out to be a Fire Dragon who lives in dark shadows named Steele. Brendan has been given the task of stopping Steele to get his rightful seat on the council. Will there be a fourth book?

Liana...

Liana was a gamer geek, who loved coding the game "Dragon Heights," well she did until the new owners took over and changed the rules.
Timothy, the Ocean Dragon, was on the hunt for his mate. He was the last of the dragon council needing to be mated so he could gain his full powers, which were needed to deal with the Fire Dragons! 
There is plenty of romance,  action, and a dollop of mystery in this wonderful story! I definitely recommend the entire series!

Timothy , the Ocean dragon needs to find his mate in order to help the Earth and Storm dragons defeat the fire dragons, along comes Liana on a night out with her sister. Liana is a coder for a dragon game , so it’s a match made in heaven. Except the fire dragons are playing mean and for keeps, they’ll do anything to keep them apart. 4⭐️‘s for a hot, sexy rollercoaster of a ride ocean dragon style !! Can’t wait for book 4 !!

Enjoyable story

I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the interaction between the dragon and his mate. The humor mixed in was fun. The book left too many unanswered questions. That's why I only have it a 4 rating. I just feel like the story brought up the other fire dragon, played with him a bit then just left it hanging. I realize it set up for the fire elemental if there is a book for him. Bottom line is that I felt incomplete at the end.

Heart endearing

I loved this beautiful love story of the ocean dragon. The best part was how the ocean accepted his mate. I want to read about silly ocean dragon babies playing with baby sea otters...okay I can’t wait to read about all the dragons and their mates with their offspring. I hope the griffin gets his mate and a seat on the council. Thank you again for letting us spend time in the Incredible world you’ve created.

Warm and fuzzy ending

Ocean Dragon, Timothy finally finds his mate. The short blurb says what the book is about. The editing was great. Found two errors, a "his" instead of "her" kind. The story kept me interested from start to finish. Nice twists and turns. Liked the magic that Liana gets. Great set up for the next book. Love my happily ever after.

Mated to the Ocean Dragon

My favorite so far of the Elemental Mates Books. Timothy and Loans love story is great. For those of you who read Zoe Chant, make sure you read it. And for new readers,read it, you'll love hear Dragon stories. Two stories before this one. They are worth it.

The Ocean dragon Timothy is the last on the council to find his mate, and it won't be easy to find her either. As he is in charge of educating fire dragon Braeden on everything human. When he meets Liana things certainly heat up though! Plus, I really want to play her dragon game!
