Elesian Dragon Mates #1

by Sammie Joyce

My life just went off the tracks. I’m not ready for this. I don’t know when I will be. Leaving school to join the coven was my mother’s demand. Since I can’t afford tuition on my own, college will have to wait. Now that I’m here, I feel compelled to give this my all. Rising to a task is who I am and what I do. I know about all about the Great Rebellion, the bloody battle that took the life of my aunt. We’re still holding the dragon shifters back. Our safety depends on it. Descendants of the late Atticus Bond are biding their time in the dungeons of our castle. The four brothers have the power to destroy the world, but only we have the powers to stop them, by the brute force of our magic. With rumors of a coming fury, I feel uneasy. The One who will destroy the balance is rumbling just under the surface. The Bond brothers promised to protect me, but I’m not sure they – or anyone – can. As I get to know the brothers, I feel my resolve to resist them soften. The hatred I feel in my sisters isn’t an emotion I can easily muster for these men. They don’t fit the mold of destroyers – at least I don’t see that. And the woman inside me melts at the sight of each one of the luscious Bond men. In spite of the battles we all know will come, I can’t ignore how I feel. So which one of these brothers will win my virginity? Read all the steamy paranormal romance from Sammie Joyce tinged with action, adventure, and mystery.

"My life just went off the tracks. I’m not ready for this. I don’t know when I will be." This was absolutely wonderful. Well written. Plenty of tension between the witches and Dragons. Loved the characters, chemistry, and connection. This was tense, filled with conflict, proficies, steam, and romance. So happy I read this.

Witches and dragons are enemies. That's what Rose has been told all hee life. Now the witches are the winners but what does that mean to the dragons? Rose is forced by her parents to attend a witch cover and is faced with the reality of witches' treatment of the dragons. Not only that, but she seems to be the One who will unite the two races. Not only that but she's also the mate to four if the last dragons!

I'm really torn by this book. It has an good basic plot but I felt that everything was too rushed. I still don't know how most of the guys look like except that they're hot. I just discovered that two of them are twins after 50% in the book. It needs some work but it was good.

A new series to follow, written by Sammie Joyce. This story is about Rose a witch, who was going to medical school until her mother cut her funding and enrolled her to Areva coven school to learn magic. While there she is taught to hate dragons because of the Great Rebellion which many witches were killed by dragons. But Rose can't get behind their teachings and she's hearing and feeling the thoughts of the dragons that the coven hurt and treat as slaves and keep locked up at night in the dungeon. The dragons who are descendants of the late Atticus Bond, brothers Asher, Gavin, Jagger, and Mace believe that Rose is the one? Can Rose change the beliefs of the coven and prove that they can work toward a peaceful union? This was a great beginning to a new series to read and review via Booksprout.

Start of a new series. Plenty of tension between the witches and Dragons. Rose has to leave medical school to join Areva coven to hone her magic. There she's taught to hate dragons because of the fight between the dragons and witch, the Great Rebellion. Rose just can't get behind these teachings. The brothers Gavin, Asher, Jagger and Mace have been slaves and kept in the dungeon but they believe that Rose might be able to change the beliefs. She is attracted to all the brothers and doesn't know which one she should pick. Does she pick all of them? Will a union between them help heal the hate between witches and dragons? Great story with plenty of action, drama, suspense, lies, hate, romance and plenty of heat! I'll be looking for the next book in this series.

This book reminds me alot of a book called the House of Night Series by PC Cast, where a young girl gets marked by the vampires and has to go to a school for vampires and ends up being the one to save the world. This book is very similar only she is a witch that is being forced by her mother to go to an academy for witches to learn about magic and finds out that she is the one that can defeat the great Hellith, oh and she is mated to four really hot shifters that turn into dragons. Such a good books, alot of steamy scenes and really good action mixed in. Be prepared to read the entire book in one sitting. So good!!! Can't wait to read the next one in the series.

Fantastic excitement

New author for me this is a fantastic exciting well written story with a unique and interesting plot. Richly detailed characters and good world building within the plot.
Rose is a sweet studious young lady who just wants to be a dr not join a coven and study her magic so she's furious when her mother forces her to. 4 dragons are held by witches at the coven and Rose doesn't agree with their treatment. Secretly she feels drawn to them all and doesn't know why. This story is emotionally charged, exciting, dramatic, suspenseful, sweet, thrilling and more. I can't wait to read the next one.

In this book we meet Rose who is forced to join the coven by her mother. Once their she gets to learn about the hate between witches and dragons. While walking around the mansion Rose and her friend walk past a man who Rose finds out is actually a dragon, and finds him attractive. From here we see her attitude change and many twists come from this fact. To create a unique and great story, containing four hot Male dragons what more can a girl ask for

Rose

Claimed is book one in the series Elesian Dragon Mates by author Sammie Joyce. An intriguing tale of dragon shifters and witches. With just enough drama- suspense- action and spiciness to keep you wanting more. Enemies - with a bitterness formed by war. Yet it wasn’t always this way- a prophecy speaks of something more. Dragons and witches must look past their anger for a deadly foe is coming.
Enjoy!!

Sammie Joyce did a good job with this first book in the Eleasian Dragon mates series. It has some suspense to help you to understand what is going on between witches and dragons. This series is well worth getting and reading.

[FaceBehindABook · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a short story which packed a punch. Magic, dragons, witches, love, hate, and deception all in one place the mansion of a coven. Rose is a med student forced into accepting her place. Little does she know her place is in the middle of four dragon shifters.

[Lynn Hunt · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had such high hopes.

Dragons, 4 males and witches, I really had high hopes. But I was sadly disappointed. Very little sex and a lot of questions. Not in any hurry to continue the series, I'll get around to it sometime.

Actually pretty good read. Characters are interesting. Very true to fashion for romance with certain beliefs and other such happening a bit too fast, but the world is intriguing and left me wanting to keep reading.

Great fast moving read

This was a light hearted fast moving book. The narrative was entertaining and the characters were fully structured to give a great basis for the series.

Not very much spice. Good story but I’m so sorry, it wasn’t very good writing.
