Some love is too hot to handle…
Heather isn’t happy when her best friend Christy signs her up for a dating app, nor is she interested in the gorgeous, but awkward Blake. Christy, on the other hand, thinks he’s hot, too hot, but is he the one for her?
Things take a surprising turn when Christy learns that Blake is actually a dragon, a being from another world who needs a human mate to bear him a child. Christy isn’t interested in being an incubator for him, but as she gets to know him, she starts to fall for him. Life with a dragon would mean moving to his world. Is she ready to give up everything for him?
His world has its own problems, namely Orcs. Faced with the thought of losing Christy, Blake tries to get her to stay in her world, but she is determined to stay by his side.
Is their love strong enough to keep them together? Or will the Orcs separate them forever?

Totalmente arrepentida de haber comenzado esta serie
Blake de Celeste Raye Serie Through The Portal libro 2
Mí humilde opinión:
Heather no está contenta cuando su mejor amiga Christy la inscribe en una aplicación de citas, ni está interesada en el atractivo, pero incómodo Blake. Christy, por otro lado, piensa que es sexy,
demasiado sexy, pero ¿es él el indicado para ella?
Las cosas toman un giro sorprendente cuando Christy se entera de que Blake es en realidad un dragón, un ser de otro mundo que necesita una pareja humana para tener un hijo. Christy no está interesada en ser una incubadora para él, pero a medida que lo conoce, comienza a enamorarse de él. La vida con un dragón significaría mudarse a su
mundo.
¿Está dispuesta a dejarlo todo por él?
Su mundo tiene sus propios problemas, a saber, los orcos. Ante la idea de perder a Christy, Blake intenta que se quede en su mundo, pero ella no está decidida a permanecer a su lado.
¿Es su amor lo suficientemente fuerte como para mantenerlos juntos? ¿O los Orcos los separarán para siempre?
La secuela de Through The Portal trae la historia de Christy y Blake vista desde su perspectiva siguiendo la misma línea de tiempo que el primer libro.
Encontré muy diferente a Blake que el primer libro que lo muestra arrogante y desquiciado, me gustó mucho más aquí al llegar a conocer sus pensamientos y emociones. Puedo decir que su personaje está bien desarrollado.
Christy me gustó en el primer libro pero aquí, a pesar de descubrir más de ella, simplemente pareció irritante e indecisa desde el comienzo, sabía que quería en un momento y al siguiente era otra cosa.
Puedo entender porqué tenía miedo a enamorarse pero las inseguridades y desconfianza se volvieron demasiado todo el tiempo. Me cansó su monólogo interno sobre no permitirse amar por miedo y sus idas y venidas.
Me gustaban los encuentros y diálogos entre Blake y Christy, algo que faltó a la pareja del primer libro. Me dije que era genial porque ambos eran tercos y luchaban contra la fuerte atracción que sentían, la cosa se estaba cociendo a fuego lento pero entonces todo fue cuesta abajo...
Me desconcertó que tuvieran sexo enseguida y que luego cuando pasó el momento apasionado lo arruinan por completo, apenas se miran y siguen paseado por el bosque y charlando como si no hubieran intimado hace unos minutos... WTF!!!
Siguen los tiras y afloja sinsentido hasta que ella se va del mundo de los dragones con Heather, todo el tiempo queriendo quedarse con Blake pero ninguno dice nada, él porque no puede por ley y ella porque es demasiado cabeza dura.
Se lamenta y lamenta de regreso a su vida normal, viene Max a buscar a Heather y se la lleva al mundo de los dragones. Y Christy sigue lamentándose porque Blake no vino a buscarla también. Que no la ama y ella sí pero no quiere hacerlo etc etc etc
Encontrando su coraje perdido, Christy decide después de tanto lamentarse, volver al mundo de los dragones para buscar a Blake. Duda, y si él no siente lo mismo que ella? No. Ella no puede hacerlo, tiene miedo pero luego de tantas vueltas en un torbellino de negativas y suposiciones en su cabeza, encuentra el portal y regresa al mundo de los dragones.
Oh, casualidad, Blake la encuentra enfrentándose a los orcos con piedras, él la salva y qué hace ella luego de extrañarlo y lamentarse de haberse ido? Se porta como una perra y le dice que volvió solo para visitar a su mejor amiga. Es en serio? A esas alturas quería matar a la heroína con mis propias manos, lástima que no podía.
Así que el romance de nuevo quedó arruinado para mí, fue todo demasiado frustrante y ridículo.
De nuevo, me costó terminarlo. Queriendo todo el tiempo pasar páginas para llegar a algo bueno. No fue así, conseguí un final abrupto. Ni siquiera un epílogo de la feliz pareja que confesó su amor solo porque iban a la guerra con los orcos y no sabían si iban a sobrevivir.
En la historia hay acción, magia, aventura, peligro, romance y calor pero en mí opinión, todo esto no fue mezclado de manera que me enganchara, enamorara y disfrutara.
Me pareció que encontraría en esta serie una historia de ciencia ficción fantástica con un buen romance de cambiaformas dragones, el primero no me gustó y quise probar con el segundo para ver si resultaba mejor la historia de Christy y Blake pero fue otra decepción.
Hasta aquí llegué con esta serie y autora.

Christy was trying her best to find a hot date for her best friend, Heather. Ever since Heather’s fiancé ran off with a bridesmaid right before the wedding, Heather had been on an unlucky streak of really bad dates. Heather was clueless about using a dating app, but they found a very cute guy and arranged to meet for coffee. Christy hung back to provide interference if this guy didn’t work out. But Heather looked upset, and Blake, her date, looked in pain! The coffee didn’t sit right in his stomach and was making him burp, and it smelled terrible! Even Christy, who came to her rescue to get her out of there, commented on the smell! Suddenly Heather ran for the door and Christy ran after her down an alley.
Blake came from a noble line of dragons. But his father had broken dragon law and the punishment was put on Blake. As a result Blake was not allowed to mate with the female dragons on his world and his line would go extinct. So he had come to Earth to find a woman who would have a child with him. But for some reason, he kept looking at the other woman who was now with his date. He wondered if it would be wrong to switch over to her instead? He burped again and had to force down his dragon fire – setting your date on fire would not win her heart. He told the women he needed a child – and he had money to pay – but both of them started to scream! And about the same time, a black dragon landed in front of them!!! Heather fainted into Blake’s arms, her last thought being that this truly was the very worst of her bad dates!
Blake tried to put a spell on Heather to forget what she had seen because they had to get through the portal now! But Christy grabbed her arm to pull her away. But Max grabbed him and flew upward to the portal and they were too high off the ground to let the women go. This was the worst idea he had ever had! But before he could even apologize to them, they were on his world and the Orcs arrived! Getting the women on his back, he headed toward the castle. Christy and Heather will have to learn to survive on a whole new world, at least until the portal opens again!
I really loved this book! It was hilarious from the first page as the reader watches the Blake’s interactions, first with Heather and then with Christy. The dialog was so funny! Now stuck in the dragon realm – with Orcs!!! – they have to learn to live without coffee! I groaned out loud with Christy on that one! Blake, who had annoyed me in the first book, was actually a real sweetheart in this one. He’s one who gets better once you get to know him. I was glad he and Christy were attracted to each other. Would she give him a chance and find the happiness she couldn’t seem to find at home. This is definitely a fun read – don’t miss out! You’ll love it!

LOVED this innovative approach to exploring a new world and a new ROMANCE!
Incredibly creative, “BLAKE”, Celeste Raye’s newest paranormal romance is a cross between “normal” paranormal and the tales of fancy and fantasy I loved as a child. However, THIS IS NOT A STORY FOR CHILDREN! It is a STEAMY story set in both modern America and Blake’s home world which is accessed through a portal. For this reader, Blake’s world “through the portal” had some of the wonders of Alice’s looking glass! So, even though it was sensuous, the portal world made me laugh with glee at the imaginative genius of it and then had me cringe with the new extraterrestrial threats! As always, this Celeste Raye romance is full of the swoon-worthy hero and heroine her fans have come to expect, as well as her beautiful brand of marvelous descriptions, richly-developed characters, and both a complex and compelling plot. I just want to go through that portal again! While I was given an ARC copy to prepare this voluntary, honest review, I plan to purchase a copy of “BLAKE” to support a most talented author. I STRONGLY recommend you purchase this 5-star romance today. Happy pages! 😉

So good that I found myself so into it that I had it done in a at yer of a few hours. Blake and Christy showed us that live can be found in the most unexpected ways and never underestimate that power. They go through so much just to get to the point of love that it makes us laugh a little. Live can be a funny thing but when you know it's right, it's right. I can't wait to see what the next one is about. Thank you for writing wonderful books and I'm looking forward to many more. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

This is Blake and Christy's story and the second book in the "Sci-fi Weredragon Series". These two were a great together and had amazing chemistry. The characters were likable and well developed. The story was well written and had plenty of action, suspense, emotional conflict and romance. A very enjoyable read that kept me turning the pages. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

I loved Christy and Blake’s story. Both characters have issues which made them falter when they got too close to each other. How they overcame their problems is a heartwarming and wonderful tale. Lots of action as the war with the Orcs grows closer, will the dragons be victorious? I am so looking forward to the next book in this series.

I am volunteering to leave a review of this ARC book. I enjoyed reading this dragon shifter novel from Blake's point of view. Amazing how you have a much different feel regarding Blake's and Christy's relationship from their point of view rather than Max and Heathers. Well done Celeste! Loved it again!
