Dragon Mistress #1-4
The Complete Dragon Mistress Collection
They’re the last five dragons in existence.
To survive, they must form soul-bonds with five noble humans.
Too bad they’re stuck with us instead.
The angry drunk. The shameless man-whore. The coward who ran away and got his comrades killed. The ice-cold assassin for hire. And me, the girl with abandonment issues as deep and wide as the Southern Sea.
The five us are all so different, we shouldn’t work as a unit. Most of the time, we don’t. And yet, every once in a while, I get a glimpse of what might be, if we manage to move beyond our difficult pasts long enough to become the family our dragons need.
I left home in search of adventure. Instead, I stumbled into the middle of a desperate struggle for survival.
Five people. Five mythical beasts.
If we succeed in making it through this mess, it’s going to be a miracle.

The Complete Dragon Mistress Collection by USA Today bestseller R. A. Steffan is a plot-heavy, medium-burn reverse harem fantasy series where the heroine doesn’t have to pick one person at the end. It is part of the Eburosi Chronicles, along with The Horse Mistress and The Lion Mistress. It’s not necessary to have read any of the other books in the series before starting The Dragon Mistress arc.
A special note for Fantasy readers: herein, you will find explicit scenes, not all of which are heterosexual. If your gut reaction to that is “Eww” or even “Meh,” you probably won't enjoy this series.

About the author
R.A. Steffan
85 books502 followersUSA Today bestselling author R. A. Steffan lives in New Mexico, where the sunsets paint the mountains purple, and roadrunners roam the desert endlessly in search of their coyote victims. When she’s not busy writing stories about people loving each other in all sorts of different and interesting ways, she can be found taking care of her small menagerie of critters.
A rebel to the core, she is currently sticking it to the man by illegally harvesting graywater from the kitchen and bathroom sinks to water trees outside. This fearless disregard for societal norms extends to her writing, as well. There, you will find polyamory along with straight, gay, bisexual, and non-gender conforming love of all flavors. You will also find families of choice, profound friendships, adventure, danger, and good triumphing over evil.
That, and sex. Lots of sex. Most of which is not the vanilla variety.

September 7, 2022*didn't actually read the 4th book.
Don't let the blurb fool you, this is pretty much pwp, with the barest hints of plot to tie it all together (albiet more than you'd expect ig).
The good:
- Polyamory! T'was sweet.
- The author did actually try to make this a Story, with the sex scenes somewhat having an impact on character development.
- Respect not seen a lot in erotic media. Very noticeable with Aristede. He was the "playboy" of the group but still realy respectful and not a creeper.
The bad:
- MC was kinda stupid? There just wasn't a lot of critical thinking going on.
- Convenient plot points and lack of tension.
- Flat-ish characters. Archtypical kinda but not horrendous. Like, because they didn't rly have a deep personality it was easier to subconciously fill it in. Kinda like how in the Naruto fandom everyone who writes Sakura changes her up completely, but it works because we were given so little of her so anyone can do whatever they want.
The was just there:
Also, I can def see why people thought there was a disconnection between these books and the rest of the series. The language is much more modern (read excerpt of the Lion Mistress on author's website).
3rd book had some family and caretaker interactions.
Overall meh, but somewhat entertaining for the poly of it.
PS, anyone else think Eldris was just a beefier Idris Elba fantasy? (Cuz, respect)

~ Poly or RH w/ MM
~ dragon riders
~ Redemption Arcs
~ Merry Band of Misfits
~ likable heroine
☑️ historical mention of child SA and torture
☑️ violence
☑️ ptsd and trauma responses
❌ no OW drama or cheating, no MC deaths
✋ There’s one FF scene between just the heroine and another woman, she’s not a part of the harem.

I really enjoyed most of the Complete Dragon Mistress Collection
Eventho I enjoyed most of this book there were parts that I tended to skip through. I really didn't enjoy the sexual parts of the story. I devoured most of the books. Sitting up for hours readingtk keep getting through the story. Maybe I would've liked the sexual scenes when I was younger but they don't interest me anymore during my older age. I loved the story that was portrayed and couldn't wait to keep reading chapter after chapter ingesting the story. A thumbs up.

I enjoy Steffan's books. She knows how to make her characters come alive and gives the reader a complete world for them to fight and love in. Frella is a feisty heroine and jumps from one problem to another. I hope there are more stories about her adventures in the future. The books do contain sexual content and explicit scenes, so beware.

I absolutely loved this collection. A truly engaging story. Everyone is broken in one way or another. Everyone goes through a healing journey while being supported by the others, and they find love along the way. R.A. Steffan writes polyamory so well, it's beautiful to read love being shared so openly and freely.

I love these series!
While it would be helpful to have read the first two series, this is a great stand-alone. I was completely caught up in Frella’s world and that of her companions.

Fantastic Collection
This collection was amazing. I started reading and didn't stop until I had finished the four books. Absolutely brilliant. What a lucky girl to have four men in love with her and willing to share.

Liked the story line, the flow of the story and characters. Only drawback for me personally was too much detail and length in the sex situations. But I can see how others would appreciate that.

good storyline, but over the top sex
I enjoyed the storyline, and learning more about each character. Saying that, it was beyond reason that one female would have sex with 4 males (at the same time!), and also have sex with another woman (I guess just for the heck of it). Comparing this to a harem is not accurate. In a harem, the male would sleep with one female at a time. This was the only part (though it happened a lot) that bothered me.

The beginning was good but got to a point where the sexual acts were a turn off. DNF
