Four Short Erotic Fated Mates Menage Stories
These stories are short but really sexy hot. The sex is great, but the stories are too similar and even the sex scenes begin to be a little bit repetitive. I would have loved to read more in-depth about their characters and their stories, not only the sexy parts, and because of the lack of deeper meaning the instalove and instalust aren't really believable and thus the reading pleasure isn't as intense as it could be. There is a hint of researching cure for the dragon curse which I would have loved to read more about and which could have promised interesting insights into the dragon shifter world.

Mating Two Dragons:
Serni, Raven and Colton are nearing the curse of the dragon. If the three of them don't complete the triad bond, then they will fall into a slumber. Being in a slumber would be hard to find a mate. Dragon's need three to complete a mating. Will the three of them find their two mates before they go into their slumber? Really enjoyed this short novella and hope there will be more in this world!
Loving Two Dragons:
Jaggar is happy his friend Colton has found his two mates, a rare combo with two females and one male. Now he is hoping that he will have success finding his own two mates so he doesn't succumb to the dragons curse. While attending a party he meets another single dragon, Ady, she is also in search of her two fated mates. With the two of them knowing they are mates, they still need the third.

Pilar comes from a line of magic, will her psychic abilities help her find Dymme, a dragon that lives in East Grove and Nitheo, a dragon who is just passing through? All three of them struggle with the fact that they may never find their mates and succumb to the curse. Loved watching what they did in order to try to find one another before the curse does.
Taking Two Dragons:

If you want short stories jam-packed with sexy threesomes, then these books are definitely for you! The plot moves very quickly in each of the four books and each one is very similar to the others. It begins with a dragon shifter (female or male) aching to find their two mates. Yep, you read that right. Each of the dragon shifters mate with two other of their kind and make a triad. It is mentioned many times how rare a two female, one male triad is but all four books feature this scenario. Apparently, the dragons have searched for their mates for centuries but in these books they all three quickly find each other and jump straight into the sack, or against the wall, tree... pretty much whatever is around as soon as they sense each other. The sex scenes are VERY steamy and well written, minus the over use of the word "mate".
I'm giving two stars to these books because they were all the same exact plot, just switch which gender shifter finds the other mate first. Also, some concepts in the stories just really didn't make sense to me like why after centuries of searching they all find their mates within days to a week of each other in the same town. I found it all repetitive in many ways BUT I did think they were fun, sexy reads if you are just looking for a quick, easy turn-on. Do NOT read these if you are easily scandalized by sex scenes in general or female/female sex. There's lots of it. ;)

This book is set of novellas added together make one larger book. Unfortunately, in do so this really showed that the books were way too close to being the same book. The names are all different and each has a slightly different take on how the triads find each other. The bedroom scenes are extremely hot and heavy so that's one thing. It was just easy to tell these are early work by Ariel Marie. I have read quite a lot of her books and haven't seen this before. I have also read the next book in this same series and it was really good all by its self. I will also continue to read her future books in the series as long as they are written more like book 4.

The mating for dragons is a serious event as failing to mate leads to falling into the curse. Reluctant attendees to the Mating Mall Raven and Serni are inexplicitly drawn together. However, when Serni Ildu and Raven Dicon along with their clan are summoned it might be the chance Colton needs to complete their triad and stave off the curse.
The other stories also capture the essence of triads to be formed, the couples all have their dramatic twist to endure for their matings to become reality.

4 dragon shifter stories all following the same theme does become a bit repetitive, however, these had the feel of thought behind them so that while the theme was similar in each, the stories themselves differed!
Good premise and fairly well written

This is 4 short novellas put together in one set, I really enjoyed the stories. They're all about the dragon curse and finding mates in time. They all seemed fairly similar but were still fun quick reads that I'd recommend.

Loved all four books. Dragons must find their other mates to form triads before a curse puts them in eternal sleep. These are their adventures to finding and claiming them.
