An island paradise planet - a dragon shifter mate for this curvy girl

Hallie ~
I signed up to be a mail order bride. Sort of. I'm being shipped off to be the mate of some alien hotty.
But our ship has crash landed on some kind of desert island planet and not only do I know nothing about how to survive, I'm pretty sure I just saw a dragon fly overhead.

Drake~
After years of being alone, my beast was ready to give up on ever finding a mate.
But a fiery shining rock fell from the sky and more women than I've ever seen in my life emerged from its depths.
They are strange creatures who know nothing of hunting or even how to find shelter, so my clan and I must care for them.
One of them is my mate. Mine.
I do not know how I will woo her into my bed if she runs away from me scared every time I see her.

This was a great quick read about a dragon and a girl that fell from the stars.

After crash landing on an alien planet, Hallie takes the lead among the rest of the survivor's and sets out to find help on the island. Hallie catches the eye of Drake right away, who sees her as his one true mate.

This is all around insta love, if you're looking for a quick steamy sci fi read, then this is the one for you.

There is an offered epilogue but I didn't want to join the mailing list for it. I think I would have a higher rating if the epilogue was included, I didn't join the mailing list so I'm not sure what the epilogue includes but as for this original story, I loved what I read but feel like it is lacking an ending. Started the next book and it's about different characters (same world) but again I feel like this book is lacking the conclusion. Otherwise, I liked the rest.

A great little read
This is a new series of short stories about finding your mate!
Hallie had signed up to be a mail order bride. When she went to be collected she found that she was just one of many ladies who were here. When she got on the ship she found that all the girls were big and curvy. For once she doesn't feel like the odd one out. Where they are going must like their ladies curvy. But the ship starts to fall and they end up on a island.
Drake is the Alpha dragon shifter who knows due to the last female shifter dying they are a lost tribe. The he sees a weird creature coming down from the sky. Something he had never seen before. It crash lands and he cant find a pulse but he hears voices from the belly of the animal. It must be her babies. He hides and watches until she sees a beautiful person come out. He follows her. His dragon is shouting Mate by how is that? But what will happen when they meet??
WOOOHOOO this is one hot read. Its an insta love and super passionate read That will leave you with a smile on your face.

Unexpected but special surprise...

What an unexpected but special surprise awaits the women who signed up for the space order bride program. Each BBW wonders what their intended husband would be like, but fate throws them a curve ball. Their spaceship crash lands in water on the land of Dragos.
Drake, dragon king of his clan, watches the fiery display as it descends. He flies to help the wounded female "dragon" from the sky as it landed in the water. This island paradise is full of dangerous creatures, including the water with Krackens n giant sea serpents. The trees contain poisonous worms.
When the women emerge from the ship, unbeknownst to them, they're being watched. Drake is close to becoming completely feral ever since the last female dragon died. But seeing the females triggers his protective nature.
While this was a short story, it surprised me with the amount of information it contained. Kudos to the author.

This was a fun, quick read with dragons. Hallie signed up as a space-order bride destined for another planet, but after a crash landing, she finds herself face-to-face with Drake, the Dragon Alpha.

The opening hooked me, and while the story’s short length naturally limited some of the world-building, the pacing felt rushed once Hallie and Drake met. After Drake saved her, Hallie's immediate response was to jump into a nearby pool to bathe?? And before long, they were intimate?!

The story wraps up on a happy note, with Hallie suddenly proclaiming “I love you” and accepting the title of the queen (lol), but it felt a bit too driven by their instant attraction ('lusts') without a deeper connection.

Overall, it’s a lighthearted, fast-paced read with a sweet ending, though I would have loved a bit more development between the characters.

I really love the premise of this story. Add in that even in such a short story I felt the author has built rich characters in Drake and Hallie. There is a lot of potential here. However, I feel that there is enough between Hallie and Drake for a full length novel that's not being exploited. I'd really like to see the author stretch her wings and go for it and take this story even further. I think she's got a lot of talent.

This is a new series by this author. This series is about alien dragon shifters and the human woman that they fall in love with. This first book is about Hallie and Drake. Hallie is a mail order bride along with six other woman and their plane crashes on a world full of dragon shifters. The moment that Drake see Hallie his dragon know she is their fated mate. The story is a quick and steamy read. Looking to see who adventure will be next.

Dang, I didn’t realize this was a short story at 39 pages (I think that’s what the page count was) when I grabbed it with KindleUnlimited. I don’t normally read short stories or novellas because they lack character depth & world building. This was a prime example of that problem. It was written well, but just too short to have all the nuances to pull me in as a reader & get me to want to read the next short story in the series.

Quick as easy!

I enjoyed this fast turbo quickie! I hope the other books aren’t as short! We need to see what happens to the other girls. Lol they were abandoned with the quickness for long dragon silver 🤣😂. My first time reading this author. It won’t be the last. I enjoyed it. Now let’s get some longer stories in and get down to the nitty gritty! 4 solid ⭐️ from me!

Ummm... I don't really know what to say. It started out half cooked and basically in few pages got to insta love and insta lust. With zero storyline or structure. And just as quickly ended. Yeah...so....ummm.... I don't know. I never would have picked it up if I knew it was a couple page story and it is so short that I can't even dislike it because there is no story.

This is a short story and is a lovely, cute and at times funny read. It seems to be the start of what promises to be a great series. I love everything about this book from the head tilts to the tattoos.

Dragon’s Paradise

This was a really short insta love story, but I really enjoyed it! The thoughts of the dragon were really fun as he watched the spaceship crash, and I liked the heroine and her courage, too!

Love it!

This is my first time reading a book by Piper Fox. I loved it. I only have a short time to read due to having small children. I could read this story and just escape to a different world. It was just great to fall into paradise world!

Amazing!

I loved the instalove-fates mates! The dragon and human romance is so sweet and I love the fact that Hailee didn’t question and dwell on the love and attraction instead she went with the flow. After all she was on the flight in the first place to be mates to an alien!

A mate from the sky

In the first chapter there were a few things that could have been explained a little more thoroughly but overall it wasn't too much that I couldn't follow along. I loved how Drake thought the ship was "mother".. gives new meaning to the term mothership.

New series and I loved the first st!

Drake and Hallie are fated mates. Both virgins, Drake is an Alpha male and Hallie is now his Queen. First it was the tattoos, next he made her his mate and then they knew they loved each other! What an amazing story!

I wanted to love it,

but felt more like an opening chapter than a fully formed story. Even the world building was all very shallow. It wasn’t a very satisfying read

Quickie

A quickie in more ways than one. An interesting premise, but hope more details as the series progress. Insta love and about an hour to read.
