Triple Talons: Paranormal Dating Agency

Rate this book
Can love bloom from grief?



Simina Taji has had no use for mates ever since hers died in arena combat last year. All she cares about now is his memory, and the promise he’d forced her to make upon his deathbed: that she’d find a way to have the baby they always wanted.



It’s a tall order, but if anyone can fulfill it, the Paranormal Dating Agency can. Simina has only one rule for legendary matchmaker Gerri Wilder: no League champions.



Unfortunately, true love doesn’t always obey terms and conditions, so when not just one, but three League champions capture her heart, Simina must make a difficult decision. Can she move on from the past, or will her fear destroy her future?

My Rating: Five Super Sexy OMG! STARS*****

I'm a huge fan of Milly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency Series, so when I heard the whispers across Facebook about the possibility of Taiden opening up her PDA World, I was beyond excited, but I did have reservations. Several authors have syndicated their series and invited other writers to pen stories in their world, some successful and, unfortunately, some not. I'm a dyed in the wool Gerri Wilder/PDA fan and was concerned that another author would not be able to capture the true essence of this series, its world, premise, characters, and all the little details that make it great, but after discovering Ophelia Bell would be one of the participating authors, my doubts were assuaged. I knew if anyone could satisfy my standards for Milly Taiden's Paranormal Dating Agency Shared Worlds, it's Bell and she totally nailed it - AGAIN! Triple Talons is a wonderful addition to the collection and another fabulous story in Bell's Aurora Champions series! But I have to ask - just how many sexy dragonshifters are too many for one beautiful woman to handle??? I know it sounds like the beginning of a corny one-liner, but believe me, folks, this story is no joke! Actually, the title may have given away the answer. After all, this is an Ophelia Bell story and we all know 'too many' is never enough for Bell - nor for me! It's really a matter of perception, right? lol... So, let's talk details!

Triple Talons is an imaginative, well-crafted, fast-paced, easy-to-follow sexy romp with both sci-fi and paranormal elements. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with multiple perspectives from the four protagonists. Yup, you read that right; I said four as in her, his, his, and his! Oops...a little spoiler but I think if you read the title and blurb, you already know this is a hot and steamy menage a quatre, and believe me when I say nobody, and I mean nobody, writes menage romance like Ophelia Bell! Oh my! The dialogue is smart, snappy, seductive, well-executed, at times hilarious, and flows effortlessly. And the characters are absolute perfection. I was immediately smitten with the four protagonists, and yes I said four! We met Dr. Semina Taji in Hot Wings, Book 1 of The Aurora Champions Series, as the researcher responsible for saving the life of Arena Champion Bryer Vargas. In this story, we meet another fiercely competitive champion dragonshifter team from the Nova Aurora Arena League, the Triple Talons Trio - handsome, sensitive, sweet Veryl; intelligent, gorgeous team captain Cato; charming, hot, joker Dez. Oh my! These guys just made my little ole heart go vroom-vroom! I loved how different they all were with their own distinct personalities, yet the perfect complement to Simina and each other. I adored the dynamic of their relationship and the interaction between all four was just magical. *sigh*
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers, especially ones who enjoy sexy romance filled with agonizing angst, laugh-out-loud humor, heartwarming romance, steamy passion and a triple heaping helping of heat! Hubba! Hubba! Will I read this author again? Abso-freakin-lutely! Ophelia Bell is a skilled wordsmith and exceptionally talented wordslinger. She excels at creating unique storylines with vividly depicted worlds and beautifully detailed descriptions, then populating her intriguing creations with engaging larger-than-life characters who will surely capture your imagination along with your heart. And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

After losing the man she loved shortly before they were to be mated, Dr. Semina Taji retreated to her lab with only her research as cold comfort. But months later when another Arena Champion, Bryer Vargas, was attacked with the same poison that claimed the life of her almost mate, Semina knew her work might be able to save him. Thankfully, her efforts were rewarded and Bryer Vargas, one half of the Hot Wings Duo, was now living happily with his partner and their new mate. She was glad to have saved them from the heartache she'd suffered. She knew there would never be a happy ending for her. No one would ever be able to replace Talon Garrick in her heart but on his deathbed, Talon had made Simina promise to find love and live the life they had wished to have. She may never again find romantic love, but maybe she could, at least, fulfill her promise by settling for another kind of love. While Simina didn't believe she could ever find the kind of love she had with Talon, she knew finding a mate was a requirement for what she really wanted - a baby. All she needed was to find a man who wanted to be a father as much as she wanted to be a mother, and if their animals could be convinced to bond, a mating might work and result in a pregnancy. It would be a different kind of love, but she knew she had room in her heart for a child, and that would be enough for her. But where to find a man who felt the same and willing to become the father? She had no idea, but she knew where to start - with the famous matchmaker Gerri Wilder she'd met recently at a dinner party given by the Hot Wings Arena Champions and their mate. Gerri Wilder was known throughout the galaxy for her perfect record in successful matches. And Simina had only one stipulation - absolutely no league champions. Easy peasy, right? If Gerri Wilder couldn't find the perfect man for her, then no one could. But what if there wasn't a perfect candidate? What if there were three perfect candidates? Well, almost perfect! Oh my! So, I have to ask again - How many dragon shifters are too many for one beautiful doctor to handle? How does she choose? Or does she? What does Gerri have up her sleeve this time? We'll see!

What are you thinking, starshine? 5 SILVER STARS

you should keep an open mind. The perfect mate is often quite unexpected. listen to your dragon. Listen to your heart. Is that a mate thing? Yeah. That’s a mate thing. HOLY BELL!!! Ophelia has done it again! Had me COMPLETELY captivated from beginning to end, that is!! I love how much depth & enrichment there is to the story! Right away I was intrigued, falling for all of the characters, caring about & worrying for them, crying for & with them, laughing & cheering them on and because of the all-but-instant emotional attachments to each of them, I found this book to be emotionally powerful! Ophelia has this way to her storytelling that has me living, experiencing & feeling EVERYTHING for, with and AS the characters, not just reading about it! Of course, being an Ophelia Bell book, you know it also has to have a fantastic physical aspect to go with all of those emotions, and this one is no different!! I mean it is one SMOKING hot, Hot, HOT story in all the right ways & places! Although logistically speaking... I guess being a Shifter and athlete has it's "benefits"! wink I love the openness & honesty between Simina & Veryl, how refreshing it was and for me, I felt it added that extra something-something to their part of the story. I also loved how the story followed the characters, how what was happening here, was also happening there, but of course, in the way that best portrayed each characters personality & their situations. But then when they all FINALLY meet, the fireworks explode the story to bits!! Yes, that will make a LOT more sense once you start reading the book! Trust me, it is one book you DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!! With her phenomenal talent and exceptional gift for creating the characters, worlds and books I love, Love, LOVE to immerse myself in, it’s obvious that Ophelia is one of my very favorite authors of all-time!!

Hot, steamy and exciting

I literally couldn't put down the book. It was interesting and exciting from the very beginning till the very end.
I really like Simina's character. She is a strong woman, but she really needs to be loved. The matchmaker is a really cool figure, like the wise men in fairy tales, who always knows more than they reveal. The guys are hot and sexy, they fit together like the pieces of a puzzle.
The romantic line of the story was really strong, full with feelings and questions. On the other hand, the storyline about Simina's research is also a very good one, and is not closed until the end of the book. I wish this would be a series from Ophelia.

I received the book as an ARC for an honest review.

Dr. Simina Taji lost her mate. She goes to the Paranormal Dating Agency to help her find a Dragon that is like her, looking to have children.. Her only condition is that he must not be a champion of the arena. Her mate was a champion who was killed by a poison. She will not put herself thru it again.
Not only does she get one but she got three mates. And she wants neither of them after she finds out she was betrayed and that they are champions.. In the end its a classic love story But the twists and turns make you not want to put the books down. I even cried in a few spots. And the love scenes are spectacular. Ophelia Bell has done it again, swept me up with her wonderful writing style.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It is clear from the title and the cover that Ophelia Bell has written a story about a woman with more than one man. What you are NOT able to see is the depth of the love story she has created.

I was directed to Ophelia’s works because a group of gals voted her one of the top authors to write sexy scenes. They were Oh, so right!!!

I have been sneaking off to continue this book because I needed to keep reading about Simina (great name btw) as she attempts to move on from the grief of losing her ‘almost’ mate.

How can she have the family she wants without the man she loved more than anything in the world?

Enter the Champions, handsome, built, dragons who dominate in the arena, and as a trio of best friends, who feel more for each other than they are sharing.

The actions of all of these dragons, as the try to understand their emotional relationships, and the love they have for each other, is just as amazing as their physical need for each.

I love how Gerri Wilder is more than just a matchmaker. She seems to have insight to what her clients really need. Simina's story is no exception. When Veryl, Dez and Cato come into her life, amazing things happen.

This was cute, a bit sad as its never easy to get over a love like Simina and Talon shared. Only to find out his death really was an accident, well that sure as hell wouldn't have made me feel better, but Simina was extremely lucky because she found true love a second time around and that almost never happens to anyone. Veryl, Dez and Cato were quite the threesome and that was before they even took their relationship past the friendship zone. I will admit to being a bit bummed out when Dez and Cato had their drunken night together, only because Dez knew how Veryl felt about Cato, that upset me at first! Then I saw how all four individuals meshed so well together, all the puzzle pieces fit perfectly and my disappointment in Dez vanished super quickly!

I don't think Simina was wrong in being as scared as she was about losing the guys the way she lost Talon, I do think it was immature to run away the way she did instead of talking things out with the guys. At the end of the day it wasn't their fault Talon died, hell it wasn't even Talons fault, it happened and she was lucky enough to find three men who will cherish her forever, if the crazy acrobatic sex was any indication...OUCH! I had no idea the female body could stretch like that..call me naive but that just sounded all kinds of painful not to mention uncomfortable! Though Simina seemed to like it well enough, so they must have been doing something right...

Overall this was a sad but sweet read..I especially loved the ending! It was so perfect for the Hot Wings..I was very happy for them!

Dragon shifter Simina Taji has had no use for mates ever since hers died in area combat last year. She is purely focussed on his memory although the promise she made to him on his deathbed troubles her - to have the baby they had always wanted. So she goes to Gerri Wilder at the Paranormal Dating Agency with just one stipulation - it cannot be (under any circumstances) a league champion. Champion dragon shifter team in the arena league The Triple Talons consists of Veryl who is sensitive, Cato who is the team captain and very intelligent, and finally Dez who is the joker in the team. They realise that as much as they love each other they need a mate to bind them closer together and so go to Gerri Wilder at the Paranormal Dating Agency to find them a mate. Love doesn't follow any terms and conditions set for it and so when Simina meets first Veryl and then Cato and Dez they capture her heart. Simina now needs to make a decision - can she move on from the past with the three hot fighters or will her fear destroy her future?

Wow - this was definitely a dramatic and intense story in places as Simina struggled with her grief, then guilt followed by anger. It definitely needed dedication and determination to do the right thing for themselves and their dragons as the shifters adapted to a new normal and a bright future. Well written and easy to read there were plenty of times with danger and drama. Contains a lot of explicit sexual content.

Veryl, Cato, Dev and Samina

Samina is grieving the loss of her soon to be mate a year after he was killed by the same poison that almost killer Better in the first book. She spends all of her time in the lab trying to figure out the poison and a cure for it. She is a doctor in the League but hasn't seen any patients since Talon was killed. Her boss forces her to take a vacation. She decides that she wants a baby so she asks Gerri Wilder to set her up with someone to mate for a baby but not love.
Veryl, Cato and Dev make up the team called Triple Talons. They lost an exhibition match to If and Beyer of the Hot Wings duo. So they decide that they need to find a mate like Hot Wings did to give them a boost. They also go to Gerri on earth for help.
Veryl is in love with his teammates and think they should mate but the leader, Cato won't listen. So they each go on a date setup by Gerri. Veryl and Samina are set-up together.
This book seemed a little slow to start off with the relationship between Veryl and Samina, but she felt she was betraying Talon so she wanted it slow so she wouldn't be having any feelings toward her baby daddy.
Things finally start happening when Cato admits he was wrong. A couple of twists then take place in the story and sucks you in. This one is a recommend, it is just tamer than Ms. Bell's usual books.

Okay let me say this first HOTTTTT!!!!! The heroine has lost her love and just wants to stay away from those emotions, but wants a child. One of the 3 heroes does not want the love of a woman; his desires are for his two Leagues partners, but they also want to have a child. To that end all four sign up with the Paranormal Dating Service. For the main couple, the physical attraction is strong and so they agree that there will be no love, but will enjoy themselves while "working" on having a child. The other 2 men are not impressed with their dates and that night leads to their discovery of each other and now fear who their partner may have found. THAT'S enough spoilers, I've tried to give you just, as they say, the tip of the iceberg. What they all discover next melts that iceberg to a puddle. The mental and physical emotions the four go through is magnificent reading. I guarantee once you start you won't want to put this story down till you've finished it. Just be careful you don't burn your fingers or for the matter your sensual emotions, for this is one beautifully written erotic story. Now go get this book and once you've read it be sure you not only review it, but spread the word.

Three's company- Four is even hotter!!!
I love the continuation of this series from Hot Wings (Book 1) to Triple Talons. You can't go wrong with dragons or reverse harems. There is alot of love between the characters and alot of even hotter sex. Ophelia is Queen of the Beasties and writes paranormal romances that jump off the pages. Gerri Wilder, Matchmaker extraodinaire is outrageous as usual. Dr. Taji is still struggling to find an antidote to the poison that killed her fiance (and almost mate) and reigning Aurora League Chanpion Talon. She decides to honor his dying wish and goes to Gerri to find a new mate and have a baby. She doesn't want a man who is an athlete but Gerri asks her to keep an open mind. Through a roundabout journey Gerri matches her with not one but three dragons who happen to also be League Champions who have come to Gerri to find them mates as well. Lots of twists and turns and hot sex scenes. Characters are well-developed, witty and on-point. You will need a cold shower. LOL. I could NOT put this book down and read it in one sitting.

Triple Talons – Book 3 – Aurora Champions – Ophelia Bell
All the Dragons come together in this tale of fated mates!

I am never, ever disappointed when I pick up a book from this author. I know what I am going to get. Fast pace, faster burn, and epic love between fated mates with just enough obstacles to make the story interesting!

In this instalment of the Aurora Champions series, we meet Simina, she is a doctor with the League Medical Services and a Dragon shifter (my favourite type). Her backstory is a little tragic if I’m honest and she starts the journey back to life and love very half-heartedly.

Our three males are also Dragon shifters and a tight knit team in the Champion League. They have their own relationship issues to overcome and somehow mesh to be the best Triple Team in the League!

Without saying too much, I can tell you there is a hefty amount of steamy erotica in this book. It’s RH so all the fun combinations are present, but it also contains a good deal of MM - just a heads up so you will not be shocked. I personally love MM and this author always writes those scenes really well.

I loved it! Well done Ms Bell, well done! Five Stars!

Simina is still grieving the death of man who was to be her mate. On his deathbed, he made her promise to have the child they never got the chance to have together.
Veryl is in love with his best friends. He would love to mate them, but he's certain Dez and Cato don't feel the same. Also, all three men want families.
The four visit the famous Gerri Wilder, Matchmaking extraordinaire. Simina doesn't want anyone who reminds her of her lost love, but Gerri always encouages having an open mind.
I loved the characters and their struggles, but I hated how to the very end Simina compared her trio to her deceased love. Yes, it's okay to know what attracted her to them, but ended up being like she was trying to find his replacement.
Ms. Wilder is part of Millie Taiden's PDA series, but the story is standalone and book two in Bell's Aurora Champions series. I've never read book one, but I feel it'll help understanding the conflict linking the stories.

A fantastically tightly written story that will grab you and hold you to the end!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I absolutely loved the story that was told in this book. I loved everything about it, the intense plot, the heartache, the hot sexual scenes that defy adequate description, the characters that are impossible to let go once you fall in love with them, but most especially the story that will keep you hanging on to your seat as it twists and .surprises you just when you think you have the mystery all figured out. The inclusion of characters from previous books in the Paranormal Dating Agency Kindle World series was an added bonus to this fantastic story. Ophelia Bell has written an amazing story that I would recommend to anyone who just wants to get lost in a story and feel all the feels of love and the heartache of loss then the guilt that comes from thinking that later love and happiness after death is a betrayal of what once was. I'm still thinking about it now, and I read it a week ago.

A hot, hot romance!

A warning to all this book is a hot and spicy romance with MFMM story, where all share in equal love of the others. Read on if you are tempted, and get lost in Simina love story. Simina is a League doctor and meets her mate Talon, a League Champion. When Talon dies do to an injury during a match, Simina swears off love and League Champions. A year later Simina realizes that she wants children and goes to the famous match maker Gerri Wilder and ask her to find a mate who is looking for companionship and children but not love. Simina is adamant that Gerri does not match her to any League Champions, but fate won't be stopped and Simina will get more than one League Champion. Fate will gift her with three, smart and dominant Cato, strong, fun loving Dez and sweet, loving Veryl. Can Simina get past them being fighters and have the life she has only dreamed about. This book contains scorching loves scenes and heart felt need for each other. Remember this book is MFMM and they all love each other.

Awesome story about Aurora Champion dragons finding their mate

When I first read the stories I thought they were all amazing. They had one plot that involved Aurora Champion shifters.

This one involves a dragon named Simina who is the doctor, lost the love of her life before mating, trying desperately to find the cure for the poisoning of the Champions, and wanting the baby. She is forced to take a two-week vacation because she is overworked.

Gerri Wilder, the Paranormal Dating Agency Matchmaker, set her up with a date by the name of Veryl, who also is a dragon, part of a trio of Champions named Three Talons, and wants a family. Will these four dragons solve all their problems?

These characters are driven and relatable with their personalities. The dual plot of wanting a family and wanting to solve the puzzle of the poisoning of the Champions is fast-paced drama and of erotica scenes.

I felt like I kept on reading this book with minimal breaks until it was finished. I highly recommend this book and series.

I first encountered Ophelia Bell through her book Dragon's Melody. I've been seeking out and reading her books ever since. I've read almost all of them and when she publishes a new one, I seek it out to read.

I've received several of her books as ARC and received Hot Wings as an ARC not paying attention that it wasn't the next in her Immortal Dragons series. I thoroughly enjoyed Hot Wings and when I had the chance to read Triple Talons, I leapt at it.

Ophelia Bell did not disappoint. The story was as entertaining as all her other books. The men were hot and heroine was strong and able to stand on her own. I like the traveling into another world and feel like the places come to life with the characters. There's always a vivid picture in my head about what is happening, without the need for me to fill in the blanks.

And she doesn't lack for hot and spicy, with a good lot of romance thrown in.

What another great story out of the Dating Agency! This time we get Simina, Veryl, Cato, and Dez.

Simina is ready to mend her broken heart, or at least to a point. She wants a family but that doesn't mean she wants her heart involved. So she goes to our favorite matchmaker Geri Wilder.

The boys, Veryl, Cato, and Dez want different things, yes they want a child but they also have a secret love for each other but know they need more than just each other. So when Veryl meets Simina on a blind date via Geri something just clicks with each other.

But when Simina finds out that the boys are part of the same championship that she lost her first love from.

This story has some very hot sex so be warned, M/F/M/M, and some M/M/M action. Talk about needing some new panties! There is an HEA as always with Ophelia's books. I loved it. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

This is a fun series in the kindle worlds about paranormals looking for their mates and being paired with the right ones for them. Sometimes it is multiple mates like in this story.

Simina has been devastated by the death of the shifter she loved. She doesn't want the risk of breaking her heart again but does want a child so she takes a chance on a date. Her meeting with Veryl, Cato and Dez shows her that there is a chance for so much more. They have a secret that challenges their future.

I really like menage. In this one, the men are all mates to each other as well as to Simina. It is something that works well for them all. There are many hot scenes among the characters including M/M scenes. I enjoyed the fact that the author let them each narrate parts so you felt close to them all and understood their motivations.The author really develops the feelings and not just focuses on the sex scenes.

Well Done Sexy Story

This book had more than I expected! MM *and* MF *and* MMMF, all choreographed excellently. Aside from the context (other worlds, black hole travel, etc etc) this could have worked in any milieu. I’d like to read about these characters in another setting, too! (And I love SFF)

I liked the three guys, who are the equivalent of MMA fighters, I guess (only dragons, way cooler ;-)} who fight in a team and are very closely linked. And the heroine, recovering from a death of a loved one. It resonated emotionally, and I particularly like the first guy (Vrel? I’m bad with names). Characters from the first book in this series make a couple of important appearances, and knowing Bell, that’s going to be a good story as well. I read this one first, so now I have something to look forward to!

Dr. Simina Taji is desperately trying to discover the poison responsible for the death of her Champion lover Talon a year ago in the ring. She for sure does not need a mate, nor want one, but she does want to fulfill her and Talon's desire for a child. Therefore she will call Gerri Wilder for she may be able to find her a male that only has interest in starting a family like her, as long as he is not a champion of the ring. What she didn't count on was 3 of them!

Veryl, Dez and Cato are the Triple Talon Champions, Dez & Cato want mates to start a family, except Veryl wants no part of a mate, he loves his brothers in arms and those are the mates he wants! So Gerri Wilder it is for them despite Veryls misgivings, except when he meets Simina all bets are off and look out when the other pair of this trio meet her!

Get out the towels to wipe the sweat off!

Simina, a league doctor, is still recovering from the loss of her almost mate, Talon, when she goes to see Geri Wilder. Geri, is a premier matchmaker and has an 100% matchmaking track record. Simina's only stipulation, no champions. First, she's matched with Veryl, 1/3 of the league champion Talons, but once Simina meets the other two members, Cato, and Dez. Things really start to heat up, and scorch off the page. I loved the story line. Well developed characters, that were believable and easy to relate to. Very Hot, and steamy menage action, that makes you want to fan yourself, while reading. Can't wait to read more from Ophelia Bell.

Holly hell Batman was this a great and hot book! Ophelia's books always are full of erotic scenes and oh no they did not do that. But this one made me wonder a few things lol.

Simina lost her first mate Talon over a year go and was finding it hard to move on. On the suggesting of friend and colleague she took a vacation contacted Gerri Wilder and started dating.

Enter Veryl, Cato and Dez. Can I have them too? Holy cow not only were their characteristics a turn on but the description and the things they did *wolf whistle*

This does not take away from the storyline though, there was enough excitement and "oh shit" moments. This is a must read coz holy crap!! LOL

I love this authors books, who wouldn't love dragon shifter books? This is the second book in the Aurora Champions series and part of the Paranormal Dating Agency kindle world. I really love the world that the author has created in this series as an extension of the PDA world. Simina thinks that she is going to just find a man that will give her a family without love, but Gerri knows she needs more than just that. The blurb for this book gives a good enough description on what the book is about, so I will not give anything other than this is a must read. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book
