Transformed

by Leona Crowley

After 900 years, dragon shifter Nicholai has given up on ever finding his fated mate. Then Roslyn arrives in town…

Roslyn Rothchild is a charismatic archeologist in a dead-end relationship that’s jeopardizing her career. But she’s scared to cut loose. Ready for a change and some advice, Roslyn visits her best friend Ashley in the small town of Wolfton. During the visit, she’s introduced to the world of shifters and learns that Ashley has foreseen fate’s plan for her future.

Nicholai Alexeev is a nine-hundred-year-old dragon shifter and the newest beta in the Blackpaw pack. Because his touch is deadly to anyone other than a fated mate or another dragon, he has given up hope of ever finding true love. That is until Ashley introduces him to Roslyn.

Sparks fly. Nicholai is ready to claim his mate now, but Roslyn needs more time. She wants Nicholai but saying yes to him means leaving all that is normal behind. And scariest of all, she has to become a dragon shifter. A process that could mean death.

Is Nicholai’s love enough to help Roslyn face her fears and fulfill their fated destiny? Or will she die trying?

Roslyn Rothchild is an archeologist whose fiancé put Roslyn’s credibility in question by faking a find. She takes off to visit and seek advice from her best friend Ashley in the small town of Wolfton. She learns about shifters and Ashley told her about Fate’s plan for her future.

Nicholai Alexeev is a 900-year-old dragon shifter and a beta in the Blackpaw pack. He never thought he would find his mate since his touch would kill anyone other than his fated mate or another dragon. When he meets Roslyn, he knows she is his. But Roslyn isn’t sure she is ready to enter that whole new life. She would have to become a dragon shifter – and she might not survive the process! Will Nicholai’s love help her to change her mind? Will she risk her life for an unending love? Or will her fear of dying cause her to run away from her fate?

It’s a sweet romantic story

What can I say? This is an adorable story. It’s my first one in the series, so since it was a quick read, I am thinking these are a series type read and not really stand alone to get the full experience and knowledge of what’s happening with the characters and this prophecy that all the characters keep mentioning. This story is focused on the clan member Nikolai, who is the Dragon. He finds out from Ashley that his fated mate is her BFF Roslyn. Now Roslyn is coming to visit Ashley because her boyfriend is all of a sudden being a jerk and scaring Roslyn.

This is the third book in this Blackpaw Prophecy and the story of Nicholai and his fated mate Roslyn. Nicholai is a 900 year old dragon a very rare shifter and not many left. When he meets Roslyn, he knows she is his fated mate. There is one issue she doesn't know about shifters. Roslyn is Ashley's best friend and comes for a visit. She is drawn to Nicholai and isn't sure why. Their journey was enjoyable to read. I couldn't put the book down. This is a fabulous addition to this series. I can't wait to read the next book.

This is the first book of this series that I’ve read and it’s book 3 of The Blackpaw Prophecy and I can’t wait to read the other books in this series and this is the story of Roslyn a human and Nicholai a dragon shifter who has given up on finding his mate until he is introduced to the luscious human female Roslyn. Roslyn has a boyfriend who gives her nothing but grief but she’s too scared to get rid of him so can Nicholai show Roslyn that he is the right man for her?. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I enjoyed this continuing chapter in the series with the mating of Nicholai. There is another layer to the plot by several things going on and the mystery and excitement keeps growing. Both the protagonist and antagonist characters are well written, and you find yourself absorbed into the pack sharing adventure and emotion.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Roslyn and Nicholai meet when she goes to visit Ashley. A whole new world is opened up to her, including the sexy dragon who is her mate. Roslyn had no idea the situation she would find herself in. He plans to protect and claim his mate. This was a great addition to the Blackpaw Prophecy series.

3.5 Stars
This was an enjoyable read filled with well written characters and a compelling story line. I haven't read any of the previous books in this series and I may have enjoyed this book a little more if I had read any of the previous books in this series.

Dragon mating

This book was a bit repiticious of the previous one. the names changed and it was for a different species but it followed meeting, rejection, taking care of a commitment and then coming back to accept the love she found. Plus since it was a dream I didn't doubt Ashley's best friend would survive.

Love Nikolai!

This one was just as good as the first book. Honestly the second book I totally could have skipped. Love Nikolai he was my favorite even in book one glade he got his own book. With all of that said I probably won’t finish the series, I’m not into series that are longer than 3 to 4 books.

Things are definitely getting more interesting with this pack. I enjoyed reading ,there was some really funny moments. I enjoyed how awkward the normally stoic Nickolai was. I stress again how much I love that the book includes everyone and not just the 2 main characters which makes it so easy to follow up everything from all angles and get a better understanding of what's happening.

Nicholai & Roslyn !!!!!

Another good read in this series, so glad I didn't pass this series up it just keep getting better. I really enjoyed Nicholai and Roslyn so as the saga continues I can hardly wait for the next story, again another well written story in the lives of The Blackpaw Pact !!!!

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

The storyline of this book had so much promise, but the execution didn't deliver. Compared to the previous books, this one felt almost childish. I love fated mates and instant attraction. But the insta-love was super cringey, and Nicholai was like a 15 year old boy instead of a 900 year old dragon. This book just fell very short for me unfortunately.

Great read

Loved the way I was taken away to another place. I could not stop reading until the end. Great short book to keep me wanting more. Can’t wait to read the last of the series.

The dragon finally gets his mate. I cannot decide which book I love the most. This is the third book and I can say I’ve enjoyed them all. This storyline was super and thrilling and kept me hooked. The chemistry is wild. Amazing read

Roslyn doesn't realize how bad her relationship is until it's been years. Nicholai is in a pack now waiting for his mate. Her fiance was horrible to her. The love story was heartbreaking and cute. The ending was adorable. I like this one.

Finally

This story took me longer to read then the others. I kept putting it down. Eventually I picked it back up and continued to read it. As I read on the story became more enjoyable.

Dragons Yay!!!

I was so happy that we got the dragons story. I am also glad to see that more and more people are coming to get their mates. I love how each is drawn to one another! I can’t wait to see how this all plays out.

[Gloria McElroy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can so see this series as a TV show. Do you have an agent to pitch these books? I believe there would be such a following for these stories. They have love, intrigue, personal struggles and diversity. What else could anyone want?
Good luck with these.

Love this story. Roslyn was very brave to face leaving Brian. I like the way she has to have a clear ending before beginning her new life.
