Strange Magic, a Curvy Witch, and a Dirty Dragon ~

Dax:

There's something strange in this neighborhood.
Who ya gonna call?
Dragon Warriors!
It will be a piece of cake to keep the Troika Wolf Pack pups and their adorably cute nanny safe from the non-existent threat.
The Black Dragon isn't interested in wolf cubs.
But I'm interested in sticking around to see if their nanny wants to have some fun. In my bed.

Jules:
Argh! The dragon warrior sent here to help me protect the pups is completely infuriating.
He's great with the kids (which I wouldn't have expected), and I want to kiss him until I can't see straight (which is completely distracting.)
But I keep having visions of a mysterious figure who is trying to change everyone's fate. She's very powerful and is blocking my second sight so I can't see enough to protect any of us.
Except when I'm with the dragon - then I see a future I'm even more scared of...
A very, very dirty future. Together.

Oh, my, Dax is one hot dragon (pun intended)! Jules is one lucky, curvy lady. In this book, some more of the questions are answered concerning the Black Dragon and the Succubus Queen and yet more questions are raised concerning why the dragons are being hunted.
Jules thinks she is only a human and that no male will every be able to love her curvy self. She is the babysitter of the Alpha Wolf's pups and she has had a vision concerning the kidnapping of those pups by a black dragon.
Dax, is a Red dragon, and is sent to help the wolves with the protection of the pups and their sitter and try to help figure out what the Black Dragon wants with wolf pups. Dax doesn't think he can have a mate or at least not yet, because the Red Wyvern must find his first, however this does not stop fate.
There is lots of action, love, and mystery involved. Read to see if Dax and Jules can find their HEA and see what happens next between good and evil.

I received an ARC of this book and I am hereby freely given my thoughtful and honest review.

I love a good dragon shifter romance and this one was great!

Dax has been assigned the job of protecting a couple of wolf cubs instead of helping to save the world. Jules, their babysitter, is having visions that need to be checked out. When he arrives, he’s immediately drawn to her but she is terrified of him.

Jules’ visions include dragons and now that one is standing before her she’s ready to run. Except her first priority is to save the children. She stands up to the great beast of a man, but with a bit of space and plenty of furniture between them. It doesn’t help that she finds him attractive or that she suddenly has a vision and he helps her when she comes out of it.

Soon this couple are fighting the enemy, banding together with the wolves, and finding a little one on one time together.

description

I love the light humor and fun witty banter between Jules and Dax. It was entertaining to watch Jules as she becomes enlightened to not only dragons, but to her own powers. Dax was an insta alpha mate although he couldn’t see that she was his mate, it wasn’t possible. That didn’t deter him from his possessive, protective actions.

description

This has a lot of shape shifting, tons of magic and plenty of drama and action. It’s a fast paced read with some steamy moments as well as heartwarming ones. I have read the first book in the series but not the rest and while a few things required me rereading them to understand them more fully, I was able to follow the storyline pretty well.

Overall, a great story for all the dragon lovers out there!

Dax is sent on a mission to protect the Troika wolf pups. He doesn’t think it is a real threat since why would the Black Dragon want wolf pups. Jules is the babysitter and even though she is just a plain human she is having visions. Her visions show the Black Dragon kidnapping the wolf pups but she doesn’t understand why. Will Jules and Dax give into their attraction despite the battles they will face?

Aidy Award writes Curvy women and the strong men who fall in love with them. I love that her curvy girls get their happily ever after. The dragon mates are all witches with their own powers to contribute during battle. The women are snarky and feisty. I love the banter between the characters. You get lots of good laughs. This is a series and all the characters carry forward but the books can be read as standalones. Grab this fun, easy read and enjoy.

This was a fast paced fun action packed interesting read!
I loved the characters and the story. Great world building!
Though this book can be read as a stand alone i think having read the earlier books in the series would have helped make more sense of all the relationships and back history.
I've not read any of the earlier books but I will now!

Addictive action packed paranormal romance!

Dax is one delicious dragon and Jules is just a normal run-of-the-mill human - maybe. But once these two are brought together things start heating up in more ways than one.

I loved this book. No surprise since I loved the rest in this series. Seriously addictive! The characters are great. The women are curvalicous and the guys are alpha protectors that adore their mates.

The author does a terrific job of creating characters and situations you can empathize with and understand and a storyline that makes you laugh, cry, and cheer.

I am impatiently waiting for the next few books in this to come out. So many more wonderful adventures.

This book has the best of both worlds and is filled with excitement, revelations and love. You are sure to be glued to your seat from the first word until the last. I can’t wait to read what happens next!

You light my fire....

What a joy to read another saucy, funny story from Aidy Award.

Dax was tasked to protect the Troika Wolf Pack cubs and their nanny. Nothing Dax couldn't handle right? Wrong, because when he meets the drop dead gorgeous nanny named Jules, he knew right then and there he was in trouble. He was drawn to Jules like a moth to a flame. He was swept off his talons the minute their eyes locked.

Jules was deathly afraid of Dax as her visions included him and not in a good sexy way. Jules was apprehensive about Dax, but also felt drawn and safe when he was near. This couple were perfect for each other, but did not realize it themselves. They are both strong, loving and loyal and kick ass in battle.

The action in this story packed a punch that will have you wanting to read it at super sized speed.

First let me say that I adore every single one of these books in the Dragons Love Curves series?? When the hero Dragon of this book was introduced he was a sexy, hunky friend to Steele and part of the Red Wyvern Dragons. Now Dax is fighting to keep new born wolf pups Tristan & Ellie safe from the Succubus Queen who wants them for her own evil purposes!! Throw in Jules who has been having visions of a Red Dragon and now Dax has his hands full!! And could Jules be his true mate? He can’t fully comprehend that he can even have a true mate!! His leader, Match doesn’t even have his true mate yet, right?!?

This book continues the story of how the Dragon Wyverns the Witches, Mermaids, and even a Unicorn come together to save the world from the Evil depths of Hell!! And I love every second of each of these books!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BLAZING!!!!
Oh man! Talk about one thrilling experience. A whirlwind of activities and mishaps that keep you flipping page after page catapulting all of your emotions into play flawlessly. One fiery storyline and sensational plot bring this baby bursting to life beautifully. The tension is thick, the chemistry is hot and the danger is skyrocketing. Twists and turns, ups and downs, along with a few bumps and bruises bring this baby together perfectly. The characters are authentic, relatable and so realistic with depth and qualities its easy to get drawn in. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive it paints a wonderful backdrop that gives the illusion your right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Awesome job Aidy, thanks for sharing this gem with us.

probably my least favorite of the series so far. It took me a bit to get into it and i didn't really like Dax and Jules all that much. They just didn't click with me. I wasn't too sure about the storyline involving the babies. I understand how it advances the story by having the "thing" happen to them but I don't know that i like it. I did enjoy the story, just not as much as the previous ones.

Jules is soo much fun in this book. I love her and Dax together. You get a hint of what is about to come for all the dragons. Jules is quite the character and her inner monologue is hilarious. Great story and some good steamy scences.

Dax and Jules' story is the latest in the Dragons Love Curves Series. The story started out fine and enjoyable but to me became too complicated and confusing with so much happening at once. Too many characters introduced in previous books were brought into the story with almost no introduction. This is definitely not a stand alone book.

If you are a fan of this series like me, you will enjoy the read but it will not be your favorite in the series.

I really enjoyed reading this entertaining dragon shifter it keeps the reader captivated until the last page. The plot is extremely well-written & the characters have strong, interesting personalities.
It is filled with a extremely hot alpha male dragon shifter, a feisty independent woman, dragon shifters, wolf shifters, demons, adventure, action, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, danger, threats, enemies, violence, conflict, determination, romance, passion, love and some steamy scenes.

Just when I didn't think I could love another one of these women Jules comes along. Her and Dax are perfect and this is another amazing addition to this series. Can not wait for the rest.

In this story you learn a lot about the different dragons and their mates. Dax and a group of Demon Dragons warriors go and battle the Black dragon and the Demon dragons that still follow him. I enjoyed reading this story and recommend it!!!!!

Feels like a bridge story to hurry up the overall plot


MY RATING
5 stars--WOW
4 stars--would read again
3 stars--was good
2 stars--didn't enjoy
1 star--didn't finish

Should I read books before this one: yes
Cliffhanger: Kur-Jara and Ereshkigal continue

SUMMARY
Instead of gathering surveillance, Dax leads Neo and other Demon Dragons in a battle against demon wyrms. Only Dax and Neo get away; the rest are enslaved by the Geshtianna and her ladies. Cage is angry that Dax didn't use his brain. The Troika pack has requested Dax specifically to come assist because someone's having visions of the Black Dragon.

Jules babysits cubs Tristan and Ellie. The bite marks from her previous vision are healing. Dax comes in, kisses her hand, tingle, and his necklace lights up. Max introduces him as a dragon, Jules jumps away in fear. "I don't like it, but I will work with you if I have to. But I'm telling you right now, if you murder me, I will haunt your a** until the end of time." "My a**? Could be fun." Dax asks what kind of being she is. Plain Jane human. She flashes into a vision, tries to get better details for Dax. She sees 3 shapes coming at her, a big red one in front. "If you don't drop to the ground in the next half a second, your dragon is going to singe your hair." She ducks, the figures go by. "You can wake up now, Jules. We'll see you again soon."

Dax is attracted to Jules, but knows she's not his mate even though his shard lit up because Match isn't mated yet. He realizes she's in a vision, but it's her screams that get to him. He holds her protectively. She drops to the ground, then mutters Red dragon. "I'm here, lass." She snuggles into him, not distressed any more. "Don't eat me." "I will make this promise as many times as you need to hear it. I will never harm you. You are mine to protect." That's only said to a mate. He isn't ready for a mate. Max asks Dax [say that 3x] to walk Jules home.

Jules knows a woman in her vision replaced her fear of dragons with trust. But she will not be manipulated. She'll take him home because she wants to. Though she wouldn't have taken a stranger home an hour ago. She grabs his hands and leaves. "I love that you're in a hurry to get me home, lass. It's quite the turn on." Uh-oh. His voice was a little too loud and a lot too creepy. He pulls her close, nuzzles, tells her to pretend because demon wyrms are all around. Demon worms? “You aren't afraid of heights, are you?" "No. Should I be?" He has to shift to get her to safety, call reinforcements and fight. Ready? He shifts, telepaths to grab his leg. She feels very safe. They launch, so do the things that look like an evil black dinosaur, crossed with a bat and an ostrich, with wings and beady red eyes, and also breathed fire. "Dax, look out. There's one on your three o'clock coming in fast." Dax dove and spun just like a fancy jet fighter and Jules squealed. “This is the best dragon fight I've ever been on." He laughs, and goes to work. She keeps calling out blind spot attacks. They finish, then something grabs her arms and drops her. Dax tells her he's coming, she trusts him, punches the thing. Dax kills it, grabs her, drops her at the alphas' house. The front door is open. "They are toward the back of the house. I will lead you there. You keep an eye out behind us just like you did when we were in flight." They get to the nursery. Jules quietly talks to the wolves. Gal and Max growl back, then yips. Cubs don't shift until 5yo. She goes in, the puppies howl, one sneezes, Tristan is back. Ellie attacks him. "Ellie, stop. Gwoss. Quit it." The other pup sneezed. In its place sat Ellie, but definitely not a baby either. "Hi, Juwels."

EVALUATION
It was interesting to go inside Dax's head when the warrior takes over. I didn't get attached to either character. Jules's psyche is pretty malleable, seeing how she copes with so many changes over maybe 2 days.

I'm frustrated with the White Witch and First Dragon. They're using their children as chess pieces in a game instead of strategizing with them. And why can't they fight their own fight?

RECOMMENDATION
Adults who've read the series

FAVORITE QUOTES
...pricked at her brain like a voodoo doll at an acupuncture convention.

Dax was never ever having kids. They were cute and all, but also these ankle biters were literally biting his ankles.

"I can't save the world. Even if I am a witch, I'm nothing special." "You're special to me, lass. You are to a lot of people. I know you don't see that, and that flabbergasts me. But take a look around you. You matter to us all." They needed her help. They didn't need her. "I need you. Powers or not. I need you for you."

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS (SPOILERS)
Sex: multiple scenes
Language: 43 f***, 24 Lord's name in vain, 31 s***
Violence: kidnappings, battles

If you want sassy, curvy, strong female characters, you MUST read this and all series and books by Aidy Award. Then throw in some super hot dragons and you have a spicy book you will not put down.
Jules is a human who has been excepted by a wolf shifter pack as one of their own. Being the primary babysitter for the Alpha's twin babies, when she has a vision about their safety, she informs the parents who in turn contact the top Dragon to try and help.
Dax is a red dragon but had a black dragon buried deep inside him. Being sent to babysit a wolf pack was not part of his training and felt like a punishment. When he senses Jules he knows that she is something special but could not figure out just what she was.
This book will pull you in from the first page to the last. It can be read as a stand alone but does reference and continue some characters and story lines from earlier books. The whole series is so good, you're going to want to read them from the start.
I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Book 7 of 11

This is a long series but each book is only a 3-4 hour read, so it doesn’t drag on. Although the through-plot for the series continues, each sub plot (the romances) are resolved by the end of the book.

Book 7 is story of the (soon to be) beta red dragon and his mate. As in the previous books, the MFC is unaware of what she is until he meets her dragon. This book also has the wolf shifters from another series involved. And while, you don’t need to have read that series to read this book - I think knowing who those characters are would be helpful. (I haven’t read it. I don’t think I will at this point because I now know who is mated to who and it would probably dampen the suspense.)

No new supernatural species were introduced in this book, but a new generation of crossover has been. Also a couple of upcoming mating is further advanced here. (One was first introduced in either book 4 or 5.)

Just a babysitter?

Jules is the babysitter for new Alpha twins of the Troika pack. She loves those babies like her own. When she starts having visions of them being hurt, the pack brings a dragon in to help.
Dax helped the dragons before, so it’s not unheard of for him to be asked to come back. He doesn’t believe he can have a mate until Match finds his mate. And that seems impossible. Jules makes his soul shard light up, and he can’t imagine living without her, but she can’t be his mate. Enter crazy Fallyn, and everyone questions everything!
This book had all the twists and turns of a good suspense. Can’t wait to see what happens with Portia in the next book. I love all these characters, good story!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "DIRTY DRAGON" This another terrific installment to this amazingly well written series full of humor, passion, suspense, intrigue, drama, danger, you just can't put this book down until finished.
Dax is sent to protect the Troika Wolf Pack Cubs and their extremely his sexy nanny Jules who he is immediately attracted to.
Jules gets visions and she had one with dragons which caused her to be afraid but she felt safe and protected by Dax he was great with the pups which put her at ease.
This was a very a very interesting captivating story which kept you in edge till the end the characters were terrific I definitely would recommend getting this book.

Dax and Jules
Sassy Jules, who thinks she's not important because she's totally human in a shifter-filled world (and too curvy to ever find a true, loving partner), tangles with hot dragon-shifter Dax, who thinks he won't find his mate (and doesn't even want to) until his leader Max finds his own other-half.
Loved it even though I found some parts of the plot hard to follow. Snappy, inventive dialogue (the interaction between Dax and Jules -- and their inner thoughts as well -- are fantastic !) Funny and fast paced, full of snarky humour and intrique.
I received an ARC copy of the book for my honest review.

I love when a book in a series gives you hints as to what will come in the final "battle" (in this case probably literally) and Aidy is definitely heading towards that culminating point. Also, are the kids going to have romances of their own playing out eventually???? I can't wait to find out! I enjoyed this look into the red dragons, and one of my favorite parts was that Match's book seems to be coming closer. I've been waiting for his book ever since Kai's came out... Overall, a good read with sexy times and enough action that I want to keep reading until the end of the series. I have a serious dragon fix to fill Aidy!!!

This is Jules and Dax’s story. Dax is sure that he cannot find his mate yet because Match (the red dragon leader) hasn’t found his, but when he is sent to help the wolves and meets Jules he is drawn to her immediately. Jules has had a vision concerning the black dragon, and she wants nothing to do with any dragon afterwords. This story continues the battle against the black dragon and the witch that is helping him. The succubus queen is also involved in this one. There was one section that just seemed really confusing to me. It was and okay read, but seemed a little rushed at the end. It just wasn’t my favorite of the Dragons Love Curves series.

I came upon this author due to the attending author list for those being in Indy this coming August.
I mostly enjoyed this series. I've already read them all. Just catching up on reviews lol.
It did get extremely annoying that it's brought up that the MFC are bigger. It's seems like it's brought up every chapter. If it wasn't on repeat I'd have given these books a easy 5 star.
For this book Jules is absolutely the best. In this series she's hands down my favorite MFC. Dax is pretty amazing too. However not my favorite MMC he's definitely close to it.
Spice level for this book is probably 3/4 of a pepper.

The war is getting closer to the end. The reds are now learning what it is to have mates they think. But Dax isn’t sure that Jules is his mate. He can’t have one until the leader of the reds does. But it sure feels like she is the one. Jules is just a human but she may need to rethink that especially after meeting one handsome red dragon. This story continues the war so expect some cool action and some women showing what they can really do. Plenty of magic around. And the romance is always fun and great to read.

Red hot dragons

I love dragons and adventure. This author is amazing at joining those two aspects. I encourage everyone to start this series and see for yourself how great these books are.
This is Dax and Jules' story. Jules is friends with the wolf pack and believes that she is only human. She gets a ride awakening when she starts seeing visions of the future and is visited by the white witch.
Dax doesn't believe that they can actually be mates even when his soul share lights up because his leader Match doesn't have a mate yet.
The good against evil fighting in this book had me reading faster to find out what was going to happen.

A must read!

If you like Millie Taiden or Sherrilyn Kenyon, you will love Aidy Award and anything she writes. This is the first book I've read of hers, and will definitely read all of her other books! She has a great sense of humor in her writing, as well as drama, suspense, and everything else you're looking for. On top of that, the heroes are buff and gorgeous, and the heroines are curvy, normal, every day women like some of her readers. I love her book, and encourage everyone to read and enjoy them as much as I have!!!
