I also love writing about them.
What’s even better? Imagining flying on a dragon or as one.
My Xaerds are dragon shifters and they mate three males to one female. The concept of sharing is part of their culture.
They were a matriarchal society before the curse. Now, they have no Xaerd females. The only females on their three planets are from other planets. Their population is dropping at an alarming rate. The real estate prices are spiraling downward along with it.
They are excited when they find out human females are compatible with them.

Captivating and engrossing this is a book that keeps you entertained. Jennifer is still sassy and bossy not allowing anything/anyone to stand in her way. This is a fun story that continues Jennifer's story after meeting her Alf, BB, and Big O (her mates) and other people along the way. The world building is still unravelling leaving new discoveries to be found along the way. There are incredibly powerful moments that are absolutely moving. You definitely get a high sense of family and togetherness throughout the book. This is well written and continues in journal/ diary format that was seen in book one. I cannot wait to read what is next! I received a complimentary copy and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.

I loved this book!
Things are moving slow because of brooding, but fast because of all the changes that are happening around everyone. New alliances are made for the safety of the females coming from the dating program.
I swear that this author have the most amazing organizing skills. I don’t know how she keeps track of everything.

Want more!
Following the same diary style in this book is a misstep however this is a great story. The characters are expanded and it becomes more avout the world they live in then just the love story. I would have loved more connection with the mates but the story is key in this installment. At times it was a little detail heavy but it is easy tonsee where a lot of these details are needed later. A lot of new charaters are introduced and I can't wait to learn more!!! Need the next book!!!!

This was a great second book. I love that we got to see the eggs hatch. I love that there was so much world building. I loved that someone became a real "boy". It was magical in all the right ways. I love that Jennifer is so caring for everyone. She freed so many humans, shifters and Aliens. She made sure everyone felt loved and accepted for who they are. It was amazing. I cant wait to see what else Jennifer does with the Goddess's blessings.

Glad there's more to come
From a previous series it gave hints about the amount of mates lady Jennifer would end in and finally find out more this series. More awesomeness this book and a fair bit more smuttier. Can't wait to read more. JL

Only read it to find out what happens (potential spoilers)
So.... I really tried to like this book. And I enjoyed the first which is why I wanted to read the second, plus I can’t leave an unfinished series unless it’s something that isn’t put together well. The idea was there, however when Jennifer and the other ladies started ordering their men around and then trying to change so much of the planet they had come to to fit into their old lifestyle and habits, it really irked me. First of all I thought the Xaerd population was supposed to be a strong male culture. They pretty much rolled over and and said yes mistress every time Jennifer barked orders at them. Second, there’s a reason Earth was in such dire straits in the first place and it wasn’t just exhaust from cars, industry and whatnot. It also has to do with reduced access to natural land. But if you’re bringing chocolate and alcohol and whatnot, mass producing it and selling, what is it but another earth? A lot of these “alien” stories more often than not have the women and men immersing themselves in that alien culture and it’s irritating that humans try to change everything as soon as they arrived. Or almost as soon. In the first book Jennifer was all about learning to love Xaerd culture then all of a sudden she gets more of her human sisters there with her and BAM, she’s all about bringing earth to her.
Needless to say, I couldn’t finish the book. The relationship between all the characters seemed uneven, not a partnership anymore and more like the men do everything including protection just because they want females on their planet. I don’t enjoy reading about pushovers, I much prefer partnerships and actual healthy relationships.

I loved it. So much world building and now you see why the author has the tagline of 'polyamorous' on the books. I loved how Jennifer teased Alf at the waterfall and how the ladies tried to work together to solve issues. I loved how Jennifer helped Eddie. There were so many new and exciting things happening. I loved Thorny too. George was a crackup. You learn more about Jennifer's mates too. At the end, there are more people introduced. Trope, Snappy, and Vlad are fun. Tink was an interesting new character too. I read it a couple of times because I just loved all the new things you learn about Xaerdu and the characters.
I also loved the sense of family in the book.
I love how Jennifer always tries to take the environment into account and how she fights for the underdog. I would explain all this more but I don't want to put any spoilers in it. Just read the book. It is so good.

Scifi polyamorous book
When I began this series I was sceptical.I usually don't care for books that seem narrated. After the first few entries I was hooked. I am going to try and not give away the plot. Jennifer , after being chosen by 3 hot aliens (book1) finds herself pregnant and her physical being altered. She will be having eggs; not 1 but 3. Book 2 has more earthlings going their mates(always 3 wombmates). The human women if they are true mates , can become dragons. , and Flying, and spewing fire. L.Starfire picks up where the last book left you. Her mcs are quick witted, funny and love the 3 letter word,SEX. Join them through their journey ,of mating ,adjusting , building a world that satisfies their fantasies. One little spoiler I can't resist. Find out how and why,that the seven ( so far) earth women lay and hatch 84 eggs. all girls.

a whole new dragon 🐉 world
This picks up right after book one. You must read in order to understand. i got a little distracted and lost at times.. i think because it included way more characters i lost count. more woman have signed up to be mated and that took over most of the book. Another thing was breeding babies! it lacked loved and the steamy romance i was hoping for like the previous book. The story has evolved and i get it but i felt distracted with so many side characters and nothing from our main leads who started this. Then everyone starting sharing partners for breeding porpoises... again my interest went a little downhill 🥺. Maybe book three we can get back at it!

This will probably contain some spoilers, just a heads up.
I was so disappointed with this book. I really loved the first book, and was super excited about this one. I only made it about of a third of the way through it when was like, Nope not for me. To start, it was moving way to fast, it seemed like most of it was just Jennifer bossing people around and that being done. There was no movement to the story and it stretched on for along time.
Though, the breaking point for me was when suddenly there a free for all and mate sharing with additional pregnancy. It felt like all the romance had left the book, and it made me mad that I had wasted so much time.

This book is amazing and sucks you in to it. It's very detailed from the characters and scenery you already know and love to the new characters you meet and fall in love with. Jennifer is still as strong as ever but in a realistic way, that she will do anything to protect her family. There's twists and turns leaving you on the edge of your seat in suspense. I couldnt stop reading this book and I will definitely recommend it to everyone.

I received an ARC of this book for a honest review.
Oh boy does this book have a lot going on! We are back with Jennifer and her mates and she is one busy woman! The action kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I devoured this in one sitting. There were a lot of new, interesting characters introduced and I can't wait to hear more about them as well. If you are looking for a series that will keep you wildly entertained the whole way through, pick these books up today!

Let me just start off by saying this is not your average 'moving to an alien planet' book. L. Starfyre brings a whole new light to this genre and there is so much going on! Jennifer takes charge yet again in this story and you get to see a whole new sode of her at the same time. I loved getting to meet more matches and just wait until you see what Jennifer has planned for them all! This is a must read and you will not be disappointed!
July 11, 2019
Great continuation of the first book. This book follows the same concept of being Jennifer's diary entries. I love the character development and enjoy how the story is going. Jennifer has a ton on her plate and handles it like a boss. She is a no nonsense, badass type of lady! I can not wait to see what happens next because things get real interesting towards the end of this book!
July 6, 2019
Wow.. Lady Jennifer really has her hands full in this book, lots of new charaters are introduced. Lots of the unexpected, lots of hunky guys. The goddess is watching. This book is full on, lots to take in. Can't wait for the next book, it's gonna be a good one.
July 10, 2019
I love how this book keeps being different from most all of the books about going to an alien planet to help replenish the population books. The story keeps you guessing what’s going to happen next. There were so many things that threw me for a loop I loved it. Can’t wait for the next one.
July 11, 2019
This book was something new for me but man I loved it. Longer than book one it takes you on a journey of how they are putting together their world. Politics and logistics is all there. Romance and new faces and day by day Jennifers family grows. Really engaging read
