I’m always up for some paranormal fiction and enjoyed the plot of this story.
The story sees alpha dragons finding their fated mates but traditionally it has always been dragon mates, but fate has thrown a spanner in the works and now they are finding themselves fated to human females. Humans don’t know their kind exist and they don’t feel a bond so revealing themselves can only be done if they are sure they are the one fate intended.
As the women learn there is an entirely new world out there, and what fated means the story is rich with tension. But it’s not just the dragons’ stories each woman also has a problem that comes to light that their men will do anything to keep them safe.
Emotions run high as the characters confront their circumstances, dealing with conflicting feelings of fear, hope, and longing. The presence of strong alpha males adds another layer of complexity to the tale.
Amidst these challenges, there is also an undercurrent of playful interactions. Overall, it’s an interesting blend of love, action, and adventure that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.

Review of The Dragon’s Redemption
By Roxie Ray


The Dragon’s Redemption by Roxie Ray is another dragon shifter novel that takes place in Bluewater, Maine. Like most of these books, it’s a fast and enjoyable read. It would be perfect for a day at the beach or some night when you just want to kick back with a quick and easy book.

This book tells the story of Toby Miller, the new nutritionist at the local hospital, and Elizabeth Castro, also known as Liza, a nurse in her final phase of training as an RN. Toby is from California and is a member of the same dragon-shifter clan as his friend Porter, the hero in the previous book by Roxie Ray, and is an honorary member of the local clan. Liza recently broke up with her boyfriend of 10 years after discovering he was cheating on her with her (now former) best friend. As soon as Toby is introduced to Liza, he recognizes her as his fated mate. Now he just has to figure out how he’s going to win her.

I really enjoyed this book, just like I’ve enjoyed all of the dragon books I’ve read by Roxie Ray. So, treat yourself and sit back and experience the story!

After noticing his fated mate when touring a hospital, Toby makes up his mind to move to the town to pursue his mate.
Unfortunately, his mate Liza has recently gotten out of a relationship after finding her ex cheating on her and along with her studying for a nursing degree, she has decided to stay away from men.

With Liza not showing any interest in Toby, he decides to try and find out more about Liza to help his efforts to finally be with his mate. Luckily his enhanced dragon hearing helps him find out what Liza is interested in and he does his best to befriend her using joint interests to show her what they have in common.

Liza tries to keep her distance from Toby but she cannot deny her attraction to him for long and they start dating.
Unfortunately, her ex boyfriend, her mum and a female doctor at the hospital that is obsessed with Toby try their best to try to derail their new relationship.

Will they be able to destroy the relationship building between Liza and Toby and what about the secret Toby still has to tell Liza, will him being a Dragon scare her away or will they finally get their happy ending?

I really enjoyed this story and would recommend reading it.

Oh good grief! Dragged and dragged. D.N.F

I’ve read the rest of these books and was excited to read this one. But it was boring! Really really boring! Including the sex! If he asked her one more time if it was okay to touch her, I was going throw my kindle!!! Yes I know that it’s good to have consent before doing anything, but constantly asking her if it was okay, it’s hardy sexy and passionate. She had to beg him to touch her! Nope!!!

So Liza is a trainee nurse at the hospital. When Toby visits the hospital and realises that she’s his fated mate. He moves there and tries to get to know her at work. As he’s a nutritionist. She’s had one relationship and he cheated on her with her best friend. So she’s naturally wary of a relationship. He comes across as terrified of her and upsetting her. Shes terrified of one of the doctors, who really fancies Toby, who has the ability to not offer her a job. He’s terrified of messing it up so acts like he’s scared of everything. It totally spoils the romance! Sorry this one is really not up to the standard of the rest.

Toby Miller was hired as the nutritionist at the hospital in Bluewater. As soon as he met Elizabeth Castro (“Liza”), finishing up her last year to become an RN at the hospital, he knew she was his mate. Unfortunately, she didn’t just fall into his arms as he had hoped. Liza had caught her long-term ex-boyfriend cheating and had sworn off men. Would he be able to convince her that they were perfect for each other? Would she be able to accept the fact that he is a dragon?

I just love these stories! There is a fun part also in this story line when Liza’s stalker ex-boyfriend tries to act tough with her and Toby steps in. In fact, with Dax being such a jerk, Liza easily accepted Toby’s invitation to move in with him… for safety’s sake, of course. So that worked out well! Grab your copy and enjoy Toby and Liza’s story.

This book was included in with the previous one if you borrow from KU.

This series is becoming pretty formulaic. Girl meets boy. Boy realizes she's his fated mate. Girl has psycho stalker. Boy protects girl and they get their happily ever after. Seriously, every single book in the series has the exact same storyline. I will say the characters are interesting and slightly different so that helps. The town and interactions of the characters is good. There is witty banter and lots of spice so it's still entertaining. Even the author knows it's a thing as the characters even bring it up in the book so it's interesting to see her poking fun at her own storyline trope. I've already got the next book in the series downloaded so I'll read it for fun, but if it's the same old thing then I'm out as it is getting monotonous.

This is my first book by Roxie Ray but it definitely won’t be my last. Toby and Liza had such a sweet story. It was so satisfying to watch their journey and see them come together.

Considering Liza’s cheating ex-fiancé wouldn’t leave her alone, a doctor co-worker with her sights sat on Toby and Liza’s awful meddling mother this story was fairly low angst. They had a lot working against them and Liza was a bit skittish at first but they were pretty solid in their interest and support for each other. That was really refreshing and fits perfectly with them being fated mates. Don’t you just adore Fated Mate stories? If so, you will love this one.

Toby had met his fated mate but now he must win her over and get past the hurt from her past.
Toby had met his mate when he was visiting Bluewater now he was moving there for a job as nutritionist in the local hospital in the hope of connecting with his mate who also works there but he has not yet found out her name. Liza has a persistent ex who she had been with for a long time but who she had found in bed with her best friend. For now she is concentrating on getting to her finals and then a job working in the maternity department. Then she sees the sexy guy she had seen with one of the doctor a while ago and who had caught her eye.

For the most part I liked the story. Toby seemed a little beta to me. He was more than willing to back off on his fated mate thing. I guess I'm more used to alpha dragon types just putting it out there so it was an odd dynamic. The story had the baddie co-worker who wanted the man for herself and then went all out nuts about it. Just learn to live with loss sweetheart. To have her ex be such a fruit loop too was nutty in my opinion. There was great acceptance of his dragon by the heroine and final their HEA. I think all the dragons are going to be moving to this town soon with as many matches as they've gotten.

This is another Dragon shifter story which Im sure you know that. He isn't from the town in Maine that he is at. It is his cousin, but he is an honorary member of the clan, as he is from California. He was introduced in the last book. When he meets Liza, his dragon knows she is his fated mate. She has come out of a 10 year relationship due to his cheating on her with her BFF. Some BFF right. So she is in Maine trying to get her RN license now. With her being sceptical of men now after her being treated so bad can she let Toby into her heart and life?

Toby goes for an interview out of town and while there discovers that his fated mate is at the very same hospital. He gets the job but can he get the girl? Toby is trying to fend off a very agressive woman (I would have said lady but she is definitely not that) who is a doctor at the hospital and who happens to run the ward that his mate works on. Liza has had a very bad experience with men courtesy of her mother growing up and then her ex. Female doctor plus rotten ex equals a very tricky relationship. Help is at hand with a solid group of friends and family but can they overcome these scorned lovers?

This is a new author for me and I will definitely grab more of this series to enjoy later.
This tale is about Liza and Toby. Liza has decided against any further men in her life after finding her fiance cheating on her. And having to deal with her unsettling relationship with her mother, she is somewhat low emotionally. Thus leaving Liza hesitant to be in any new relationship.
Toby is a dragon and once her sets his sights on Liza as his mate, he will move heaven and hell to have her trust and let him in. They have their ups and downs but eventually get there in the end. as we know they will. :)

Title: The Dragon’s Redemption
Author: Roxie Ray
Format: Audio
Narrators: Gregory Kellen, Sierra Kline
Genre: Paranormal romance, shifter (dragon), fated mate, small town
Standalone: yes
Part of a Series: Blue Water Dragon
POV: Toby, Liza
Steam Level: steamy at times
3.5/5

While overall I liked The Dragon’s Redemption I wanted more. More dragon, more steam, just more. I did like that the drama wasn’t really between the two main characters but from those around them. Toby’s mom was a riot.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

The Dragon’s Redemption: Bluewater Dragons Book 5
By Roxie Ray
Kindle unlimited purchase
Toby is the next dragon to find his mate. Here we are 5 books in and the Dragon is NOT a member of the Bluewater clan. Would love to actually have a clan member find his mate instead of Anthony from book 1.
Liza is done with her schooling and ready to take the next step but now she has the added drama of her ex, her mom, and a co worker to add some unwanted stress to the mix. But one thing that makes it worth while is Toby.

The Dragons Redemption is book 5 in a series called Bluewater Dragons with amazing characters. This is a well-written, well-paced and standalone book that will keep you entertained from start to finish. These interesting characters are very well-crafted that grow throughout the story. There is action, adventure, drama, danger, twist, turns, romance, passion and love. This story was a great addition to the series and I recommend this book to anyone who loves dragon shifter stories.

Liza is on her last leg of clinicals for becoming a RN. Toby is a dragon shifter.  He was just humoring a friend he was visiting with a tour of the hospital until Liza his fated mate walked in and sealed the deal. Now He is moving and a taking a new job in Bluewater as a lead nutritionist. Liza last relationship didn't end well so can she trust again and let in Toby? What will she think of him being a dragon shifter? Will there be a HEA?

Liza is done with men consentrating on her nursing after her ex cheated on her.

Toby was visiting the hospital where she works and knows she is his mate. Now he has to show her they are made for each other.

Others are trying to keep them apart, but fate will win.

Loved the characters and the story.

This is the 5th book in Ray's Bluewater Dragons series and it can be read as a standalone but honestly best enjoyed if you read the series in order (I loved all the books in this series so far). If you are a fan of sexy alpha dragon shifters then do yourself a favor and read this series today, you will not regret it!

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. The Dragon's Redemption by Roxie Ray is part of the Bluewater Dragons world. I enjoyed Toby and Liza's story. A quick read that was fast paced and drama laden with just the right amount of heat (Mature Readers Only Please). I liked that Bee, Bianca, Kaylee and the rest make an appearance in this continuing storyline. A great addition to the series.

Refusing to date or love again includes swearing off men... right? Ok.so she should ignore the built man coming down the way... right? She can ignore her cheating ex with the hunky man... right? Adventures are what she wants considering she is an nurse. Hmm his secret and protection is a thing. Good read. No cliffhanger

Toby and Liza both work at the hospital. He recognizes her as his mate, but he does not get the response he thinks should be there because she has had a traumatic relationship breakup that has up major walls. He has to break down those walls to get her to see him clearly. The characters and storyline were terrific. The ups and downs worked well and they really suited each other. Loved the ending.

Awww such a sweet romantic read, Toby and Liza feature in this story, and what a lovely read it is.
Great story, plot and the characters are great. Both Toby and Liza are very sweet personalities, and match well with the other. Unfortunately we still get some angst due to Ex’s and family members but clan comes to the rescue. The love scenes are hot, but not crude. I love how all previous characters are involved in each read. Looking forward to Wesley and Livvie’s story.

He has a stalker

Toby comes to Bluewater from a different clan. I like his personality and how close he is to Porter and Wesley. I think its cool guys have there best buds that want what's best for them. Lizza is trying to become a nurse. Thank goodness she's friends with Bianca so she has a place to live now (talked about it previous book). Toby and Lizza are cute together. I like Ray's writing style.

an enjoyable read

I really enjoyed Toby and Liza’s story. It was a quick, easy read. My only complaint is that it’s a bit far fetched that so many people in a small town have stalkers and stalker exes. I think this is the 3rd story in the series that involved a stalker. I hope that future books get a little more original. I enjoy the fated mate stories and I liked both Toby and Liza. I am looking forward to reading Wayne’s story next.

Double trouble against love!

Liza is about to finish her clinicals and test for her RN. Toby is the new nutritionist at the same hospital. He knows before he even meets her, that she is his fated mate. That's the easy part. She has an ex-fiance who won't take no for an answer, even though he cheated on her. Toby has Lisa's boss wanting him, who won't take no for an answer. Do they stand a chance on getting together?!

Meet Toby and Liza and their entertaining journey to become mates. Of course things do no go smoothly for them but that was part of the fun. Liza has to overcome baggage from her past but she finally does. It was entertaining to watch them and of course have others from the previous books pop in. Just another good story in the Bluewater Dragon clan series.
