A baker witch
This is a great short read. Julia does shifter romances very well, I have been a fan of hers for a while and this one is no disappointment. Kallie is the last of her line of witches. Kallie's fondest memories are of baking sweet treats with her Gram, so naturally that's what she does for a living.
Murdock has tantalizing scene a of chocolate and cherries calling to him at the most inopportune time. Murdock is looking for his brother and doesn't want a mate. The Dragon king who shares Murdock's soul knows those scents belong to their mate, the ONE made just for them, but Murdock wants to fight it.
We all know the universe does not make mistakes.
I like the family ideal Julia always brings into these books. This book is well written with great, likeable characters.

This is the 29th in the Dragon Guard series. Kalliope is a witch who has inherited her grandmother’s talent for cooking. She is so good that she has her own tv show. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching she decides to make a special version of her grandma’s Velvet Cupcake recipe. Imagine her horror when young men start turning up at the studio proclaiming their love for her! Where did she go wrong? She’d only added just a little, smidgen of a spell to the recipe hadn’t she? It shouldn’t have had this effect.
Murdock (Dock) Deoirearch (I hope that’s right!) is a dual dragon. He is a dragon of fire and of the sea. He has been alone for years and is quite happy patrolling the seas alone thank you very much. But recently he has been having dreams of a beautiful young woman, accompanied by a lovely smell of chocolate, sweet cherries and vanilla. He is determined to ignore them but circumstances (or the goddess) have brought him home and the pull becomes too strong when he realises that she is a woman on television whose name is Kalliope! Then, the next day, he realises that she is in trouble and goes to save her.
But there’s a big problem for the danger is a Celtic god who is more powerful than either of them. Of course there’s a HEA but our couple need help in sorting this out.
This is a nice series but you need some time between books after a while. What I do is read 3-5 books and leave them for a while then go back and read another few. They’re a very nice time waster. LOL

Boring
Purchased based on interesting story summary, that started out great but then devolved into the seemingly never-ending storyline lately from this series of evil gods popping out of the woodwork to lust after either the helpless heroine or her power.
Also, I know that this series (I have read most of them) revolves around fated mates and 'the one', but this one was so fast that they didn't even talk to each other before they were declaring their love in their minds and got married (after spending most of the time chained to the wall by a god - the h --- or begging for help from other gods/goddesses - the H), within 2 days!! I ended up skipping through the last 25% of the book. Won't be buying any more of these books as they have devolved into which evil god/goddess will pop up to plan the end of the universe as we know it.

The TV chef and baking sensation Kallie is also a witch and appears to broadcast a True Love spell around the world. Suddenly getting keen interest in her from hordes of men and heat from the High Priestess who is prepared to confiscate her magic she scrambles to reverse the spell as Murdoch her one true mate arrives ready to claim her. However, something evil steps in and it will take everything they all have to get her back. Can they have a happy ending that was envisioned for them?
This was a sweet story of how friends and fate cannot be denied. Well written it was easy to understand and read. Contains sexually explicit scenes,
** Please note this story was originally published in Sinfully Delicious anthology. In the series order, this comes between #28 and #29 although they can be read in any order.

Kalliope longs for a mate and determines it couldn't be bad to help fate along. Murdock is determined to ignore the mating call and search for his brother instead. Someone is determined to steal her powers. Will Murdock accept his mate before it is to late? Will Kalliope finally get the happy ever after she has longed for?
Just like all the other Dragon Guard books, this one was great. Loved how Kalliope is this spunky, take no crap witch. I didn't blame Murdock for being leary after his past and only being awake for a couple of days, but I was proud that when it mattered, he was there. Good read

Another Hit!
The world of the Dragon Guard is one I never tire of reading. This one is Maddock's story of finding his one mate. A witch that cooks with spells and love. Kallie has her own cooking show and the crew love her. Well they love her baked goods. Feisty sassy with the mouth of a truck driving sailor, she's about to be the object of not only "Dock" but of a certain horny god! Enjoy! I did!

A great fun read with humour and silliness abounding.
Short but still a good well written flowing story that gives us everything we need in this series.
Loved crazy Kaliope and her full on do not take me on attitude.
Murdock was just such a great dragon guardsman, going from not wanting a mate due to thinking he wasn’t good enough to full out rescue mode.
Nice to have some of the others being involved in this story too.
This is my honest review of this book which I bought.

As always Great Job
I love the Dragon Guard Series, Julia Keeps your attention with the fun, the drama, the creative battles fought, and the love of a dragon. You can actually feel the live between the Dragon and hid mate. Can't wait to see this series put in TV, I wouldn't miss a show!

August 13, 2023This novella "is an erotic paranormal romance with love scenes and mature situations." "It is only intended for adult readers over the age of 18."
I saw the word dragon and instantly wanted to read this story. However, it turned out to be Erotica, which is not a genre I normally read. Thus, I'll forego rating this book, as I believe others can more accurately rate this genre.

Absolutely delightful
It is amazing that I have never read any of the Dragon Guard books. I seriously am going to rectify that particular failure. If the rest of the books are like this one, I am going to enjoy myself immensely.

Very enjoyable
Really enjoyed this little novella. Quirky, funny and still full of paranormal adventure. Characters are all well rounded and loved the Scottish dialogue from the dragon.
