War's Passion: Gwen is sure that a fresh start can erase the horrors that haunt her. But just as her life begins to feel normal again, the dark and handsome Markus Sullivan turns everything upside down once more.
Dragon Burning Bright: Endre Felman has lived deep inside a mountain for centuries, adding to his hoard and looking for his mate. Meeting Adara gives him a glimmer of hope, but convincing her dragons are real, that he's the dragon of her heart, and keeping her alive through her first shift proves to be more difficult than he ever imagined.
Dragon of Her Dreams: Rosalind’s town holds secrets—many dark secrets. When Dragon Shifter Franz arrives it is time to uncover them...and fall in love.
Mated To The Dragon King : Cora Tesouro gets handpicked by her boss to work one on one with an important overseas client. Determined to prove she is up for the challenge, she leaves immediately, but what is she to do when the Dragon King claims she's his mate?
Dragonstruck: Rock-star Harte Lawson has fame, fortune, and swarms of female fans - he knows exactly how to satisfy. Life is good until he meets Eilís, a woman who has his dragon rolling over and begging for belly rubs. The problem is he can’t tell if she’s out to destroy his people, or worse…she’s his mate.
Half-Blood Dragon: Gifted with the power of prophetic dreams, Rowan is tasked with making the dragon empire's crown prince fall for her. But when she's blamed and convicted of murder, she finds herself in a race against time.
Dragon His Heels: Dragon leader Gabe enlists the aid of Talia, his trustworthy (and admittedly hot) PR manager, to help raise the daughter he didn't know he had. Which is all fine and dandy until his dragon decides she’s their fated mate.
Heart of Fire: How to steal a dragon prince's heart? Step one: Enter his lair. Rurik intends to claim the innocent Freyja as his mate, but with a dragon-hunter around he can barely afford the risk. Is she the key to reclaiming his heritage? Or will she be his downfall?
Dragon's Lore: Legend as old as time... One woman created for one man. His perfect complement. Can they defeat his demons of the past, or will all be lost? Their Destiny lies within the Dragon’s Lore.
His Burning Desire: Connor loves being a firefighter, but his mate left him with only a note and the memory of her kiss. He can free her from the bond that was started long ago or fight for the woman he loves. With an arsonist on the loose, Jenna’s life is in danger, and their chance for happiness may come too late.
The Flames of Death: Humans are weak. Humans are prey. Humans are slaves. Or humans are dead. In a world where dragons rule the skies, the land, and the sea, humans struggle to survive.

What a fantastic collection by some of my favorite authors! I am still busy reading, but loving every minute of it so far
Mated to the Dragon King
Waking up sunshine
What an amazing story! The author gave us yet another elusive shifter, well two really since Cora is a rare lynx, and set us up to enjoy the show when he finds his mate. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to enter an entirely new world, but the author managed to have our hero carry it off with only a little bit of growing pains. I especially enjoyed the hint of danger that they managed to overcome by working together. These two truly deserved their HEA. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
5 stars
I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories and see what happens!

Mated to the Dragon King by C.D. Gorri
Loved every minute of it! I'm a sucker for a 'fated mates' story. It allows you to skip over the dating non-sense. I really do wish I was a shifter sometimes, or at least 'fated' to one. Rei knew from the first instant Cora walked in the room she was his mate. Cora, she knew things were about to change. She just wasn't sure if she was ready for it. Rei was so sweet and attentive with her, that it really did melt my heart a little. (that's tough for an author to do) The dragons and the love they hold for their 'Es meus' is deep and intense. It's also everlasting. Cora, as a shifter, feels the mating bond. Her insecurities are holding her back. So no spoilers here. An amazing read with romance, love and of course, a villain to deal with. Trust in one another will lead them straight to a HEA. A must read for all PNR lovers.

I read Mated to the Dragon King from the anthology, and bought it for my own.
Oh. My. Gods!
Where can I get Dragon King of my own?
Ms. Gorri writes such wonderful stories! They draw you in and do not let go until the last page is turned!
I read this as an ARC, and am leaving an honest review.

Dragon's Lore by Julia Mills
This book just wow.
We get Lore who is Zachary's granddaughter and her best friend Minka who is hilarious, they both work with animals in some form or shape. But Lore has kept something... someone... secret but the secret is out. Lore doesn't want what the fates are throwing her way and she knows only a matter of time before it grabs her and doesn't let go.
He knew she was the minute he took in her predators' eyes. But how could that be? He was too broken for her. Wasn't he?
Can Lore rescue Sable in more ways than one?
Or will he perish?
A strong story, romance, action and it kept my eyes on the pages.
Mated To The Dragon King by C.D. Gorri
A mystery, A past, and a New World...
That is what Rei gets when he wakes after 100 years. Who made him sleep for so long?
Who ruined everything he owned and had?
He hates females...
Well, he needs help and that help comes with blue eyes and a beautiful smell.
The minute she steps into that castle her fate was set.
Cora doesn't want Rei her shifter part does though.
Well, she isn't going willingly.

This 12 well constructed Book set includes books by a variety of different Authors. This amazing set of books have strong paranormal short stories that are a great representation of these wonderful Author's works. These unique dragon shifter stories create amazing worlds, interesting storylines and well-crafted, strong characters that develope along the way. One of my favorites is C.D Gorri and I own all of her books that are out so far. This is the review for that book
This is another Great Story about shifters by Gorri. The characters are both strong-willed, rare, powerful shifters who know what they want and are also very protective of their love. There are many twists and turns to this story which is how the MC met. He was spelled to sleep and woke 100 of years later and she is there to help him investigate what is left of his wealth and what was stolen while he slept. What a wonderful story. Loved it

A when I'm the Rough
I bought this book because two of my favorite authors were in it. When I read the first story, it's creativity impressed me! I now have another author to add to my must read list.

I love Mated to the Dragon King by CD Gorri. Rei and Cora's story is fun and light-hearted with just a little suspense and danger splashed in. A great read!

Some great Dragon shifter stories. A few of them leave you hanging at the end. They are part of a series. The others are complete.

Good shifter anthology
I loved this anthology. This book had some author I already read. I think I have found some new ones to read as well.

Worth a look
Lot's of fiery stories, some really good and some just ok but all in all a good read. From royalty to paupers, each finds their destiny and comes to terms with fate.
