Eggsquisite

Glitter Dragons #1

by Jinx Jax

Just when you think you've seen it all...

Heavy metal musician Keith Lane knows all about the hustle. After all, he's been chasing fame and fortune for almost a decade while working as a pool boy. When he stumbles upon six stunning and very naked men claiming to be dragon-shifters from another world, he's dubious until one changes right before his very eyes.

Captive to a cruel king, Nionn has longed for freedom and a mate. With the help of his brothers, they use magic to travel far from home and into the presence of one destined to help them. When Nionn senses Keith is his mate, he refuses to believe he deserves him, choosing instead to think he must be overcome by the perilous journey.

When the dragons enchant every human who sees them, it becomes clear they have remarkable star power. Keith vows to keep them safe from unscrupulous promoters and human groupies. Of course, he'll have to start by keeping his hands off Nionn, and that's going to be almost impossible when he feels an overwhelming urge to be with him.

With a scheme to help the dragons become celebrities, and a group of talented and dedicated humans determined to pull off the superstar launch of the century, will Keith and Nionn come together or will they find a way to resist the powerful allure of the mating call?

This paranormal M/M romance contains a purple dragon-shifter in need of some self-esteem, a head-banging human determined to do everything he can to protect his new-found friends, some sweet bandmates, a few kind relatives, and an awful lot of ass--mainly smartass, but there are moments of dumbass, jackass, and even some badass before a bedazzled happily ever after.

Note: this story contains Mpreg elements, but does not contain Mpreg.

This was a sweet story with very little angst. I liked it ok, but it’s not really my favorite trope. Glittering dragon shifters who are shy and sweet make me think of Barney. I just couldn’t get the image out of my head. I don’t think I will read any more books in this series.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and I have chosen to leave an honest review.

I loved this book. Keith Lane is a heavy metal musician who supports himself by being a pool boy. One Monday morning he Find six naked men by one of the pools he has to clean. Nionn one of the Six men wakes up and tell a tale Keith is finding hard to believe. the six transported here from another planet by magic but their clothes didn't survive the transit. Nionn Shift to his dragon form making it easier to believe his tale.

Keith and his bandmates and his brother and his brother's girlfriend all work together to image them so they can "make bank" and support themselves on their new planet. Nionn and Keith are mates and they create and egg when they made love. but the egg is in stasis until they preform a ritual act to make it viable. while their seem to be a universal translator effect with the spell it doesn't work on slang terms. So their are expressions take make no sense to the six dragon shifters.

Quick no drama read. There are hints of danger, the dragons afraid the King is going to find them, but nothing really happens. I would have liked more of a mate mine vibe, but that didn't happen. There isn't any real shock, them being dragons was accepted right off the bat.

**ARC Review**

OMG...this novella was too cute and fun. First time reader here and I wasn't disappointed. Nionn and his brothers are adorable and special and Keith was really the best to take them on and help. I'm glad that Keith and Nionn had a special bond and were mates. This really was a feel good romance. Low on angst but high on happy feelings...waiting patiently for the rest of the brothers to find their mates...should be good:)

EGGSQUISITE is the first book in the Glitter Dragons series. It is a quick read that doesn't go into too much detail, but it is warm and fuzzy, so if that's your thing, then this may be for you.

Keith wants to strike it rich with his heavy metal band, but when that doesn't work, he's happy being a pool boy. That is until he finds six naked guys at the pool he's supposed to clean.

I really wanted to love this story. After all, it has DRAGONS in it!!! And yet, I didn't. I really enjoyed it, don't get me wrong. But I didn't love it. Why? Simply put, I needed more. Now, I know this was only a novella, but I wanted to know more about the connection between mates. More about their dragons and the magic associated with them. More about Flamboyant and the nosy neighbours. Just... more.

This is the first book though, so I may get more details in further books, which I would also like to read.

For a cute and cuddly book, this definitely delivers and, as such, is recommended by me.

This book was a sweet and fluffy low angst book. 3.5 stars. Nionn, and his dragon shifter brothers, escape their planet and land on Earth. They run into Keith, a pool cleaner and part time musician at a pool he was cleaning.

Keith and Nionn hit it off and Keith has to figure out how to keep the dragons hidden. He enlists his friends for help.

Everything is fine until its not. Love, friendship and betrayal.

This book is well written. The characters are likable but for me the dragons were like Care Bears and made everyone happy. Meaning I like things a bit darker or a little more strife to my stories. A little more grr and danger in my men. So for someone who likes the fluff this is a great read.

[m · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was fine. Pure fluff with very little plot, problems solved almost immediately, and insta-love/no emotional development. Definitely won’t be continuing the series but I’m not mad I read it.

Also there is zero mpreg in this book. They externally make an egg at the end but decide not to fertilise/grow/hatch the egg. Idk it’s basically in stasis until they decide they’re ready or something.

[Joanne Mccorkell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok. I HATE the review Im about to give.

This blurb and the base of the story had soo much promise. Then the story itself was short, so the author felt they needed to ram it all together.

While this story could and should be epic, for me it was rushed.
Keith finds 6 naked men sleeping in the yard of the pool he cleans. Thats ok.
They speak very correctly no slang, okay...
They dont understand alot of what he says.... weird, but possibly credible.
Woops they accidentally turn into pony sized dragons. Okay... no worries. Not for Keith, Muggles or Timtim.

There was too much acceptance too quickly from everyone. Keith wanting to be a good guy, doesnt tell Nionn the perils of following Ajaxs plan, which to me didnt even make sense. I would love to know if the other dragons get mates.

[Anne Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an adorable book so cute loved it
Before I tell you about what the books about let me just tired this book leaves you with such a warm glow I could imagine what these little dragons look like and I know I wanted one maybe the magic of the positivity that they send around the people I meet comes across in the books as well because I just adored this book.

Okay so you’ve got Keith who has been trying to be part of a heavy metal band but they haven’t had the big success yet and on this day Keith wakes up with a humongous headache well it’s a hangover but he knows he’s got to do the job of going round and cleaning peoples pools so when he goes to one house he knows that the people are away on holiday so he’s got time, he can just take it at his pace but when he looks in the back gate there are six naked men laying on the lawn. Keith has no idea what he has stumble across.
Nionn Is a dragon shifter from a different planet and he and his five brothers have escaped the cruel captivity of the King. And when he first met Keith he knew or he had a feeling that he was his mate but he didn’t know if Keith was gay or would even take a chance on a dragon shifter first of all they all needed his help to stay hidden from the king. And there is a natural pull between Nionn and Keith!!! They feels the need to be near one another or touching in some way and when Keith first sees his dragon he can’t help but pet him. His dragon is absolutely adorable a purple glittery positive dragon. When you are close he can’t help but feel happy. But can Keith keep the six shifters safe??

I smiled the whole Way through this book there is something extremely magical about these dragon shifters and Keith. I couldn’t read it fast enough and it has left me waiting for the next book in the series. Totally lush!!!!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Nina Diab · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute fluffy story with little to no drama. Could use some follow up on issues that are mentioned but never explored. No real villain or threat. The characters are all likable. Though out of the six dragon shifters, only the main love interest- Nionn stands out personality-wise. The only other personality detail I seem to remember about any of the other dragons is of Cinndar having a fear of speed (and thus of riding in vehicles). All the others don't really stand out to me at all. The dragon shifters all seem kind of young and innocent- sometimes almost childlike- in their reactions. There is no sense of alpha/omega, predator/prey, protectiveness or other themes usually found in shifter stories. Their dragon forms are very cute and colorful and glittery, and make people happy just by seeing them. I thought that was really cute and unique.

The backstory seems interesting but not detailed enough or followed through. The dragons were held captive by a cruel king- their only purpose to be "pleasing to the king's eye." Sometimes it seemed to imply in a sexual way, but in others it seemed like just standing around looking like pretty dragons. I can't be sure of either. The dragons managed to escape via a magic spell, but magic always comes with an unknown and unforeseen price. The unknown price they must pay for using that magic is mentioned several times, but nothing ever comes of it. When they meet the protagonist Keith, they say he is "the magician," which he denies. The finding of the magician on Earth to help them seems very important in the beginning, but then isn't really mentioned again, or why finding the magician specifically is important to them. The cruel king is mentioned several times and how they were terrified of him finding them and therefore must hide. That the king is scouring the planes of existence for them- and the possibility of a trail left behind from the magic they used- but then is never brought up again and the king doesn't surface. Almost 40% of the book is just the dragons waiting around the pool in their dragon forms until they can be snuck away to a more private area. Any interactions they have with Keith's friends or family is met with almost immediate acceptance and holds no real conflict. Discovery via social media seems like it will become the main issue to be solved, but apart from trying to plan a course of action for it, doesn't seem to cause much problem at all as no real issues really come up. Then timing gets weird because what should have been about day 3 is suddenly claimed to be 4 weeks. The timing didn't make sense. A few pages later and the new chapter cut to three months later for the HEA.

Overall a cute story but needs a lot filling out, more detailed backstory, or at least less hints of danger or being found by the king only for it to pan into nothing. There could also be room for more character development to learn the other dragons better- and even Keith- who was introduced as someone with a drinking problem who couldn't seem to make himself stop, but then was never mentioned again. The main antagonist is alluded to at first before confirmed. But then we never see or interact with them directly, and then it's resolved. It just all felt a little unbalanced and anticlimactic. But the dragons are adorable, their mating/egg laying habits are interesting and unique. A lot of potential but needs more. Easy fun read. 3 stars

I received a free advance review copy of Eggsquisite from Booksirens for an honest review. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I agreed to read and review Eggsquisite because it seemed so silly that it was sure to be a good palate cleanser for the larger epic fantasies I am working through. What I found was that this story was so sweet it gave me cavities. This is a M/M romance and has themes of imprisonment and sex.

Keith the wanna be rockstar/pool-boy/man by day stumbles into a situation that is truly out of this world. Faced with protecting his six new dragon shifter friends, Keith finds his overwhelming attraction to Nionn growing by the minute. Leaning on his human friends and family Keith will stop at nothing to make sure Nionn and his brothers are safe and in control of their own bodies and futures, something the king on their home planet never gave them. This is a short story, so I can't go into a lot of details without dropping spoilers left and right, so I will settle on giving you the pros and cons.

The Pros: Again the story was sweet and cute and gave me the warm fuzzy feelings I usually reserve for cuddly animals and children. If you are looking for hot scorching sex scenes, you will not get it here. Eggsquisite, a love-at-first-sight/finding ones mate story is slow to moving where the physical is concerned, which in this case seems to fit the sweet, cute storyline. I think even in the short story format we really get to understand who Keith is as a person and his interactions with his bandmates and brother give you a quick but lasting impression of who they are as well.

The Cons: While we get to meet and even know Keith's friends and family, some of the dragons almost fade into the background, leaving only Nionn and one maybe two of his brothers with any real personality on the page. I believe that while this story was really focused on Keith and Nionn, something was lost by not letting us get to know the other dragons better. Adding another 50 to 100 pages to the story could have given us a bigger connection to the rest of the dragons. Another issue I had once my brain was free from the sticky sweetness of the story was that the stakes weren't that high. When faced with possible repercussions of being found out, things found easy resolution and it felt like the only real tension was that between Keith and Nionn at not being able to be together sexually. There were some missed opportunities to really make the reader feel like the stakes were high and that the dragons were in real danger from the outside world wanting to exploit them, to one of Keith's bandmates, the lead singer, trying to hone in on the dragons to make money and gain fame.

This story just made me smile like an idiot and go awe too many times. I tend to like grittier, darker romances. That said, pick up the cuteness! It will surely get you out of a funk. The writing was good/average and there were some places that needed further editing but nothing substantial. The story itself was imaginative, colorful, heartwarming, and fun.

Rating: 3 / 5
Steam: 3 / 5

I have some issues with the story but let's start on a positive note. It was fluffy, I mean dragons, glitter and good feels all around. Almost no drama, no actual villain, and everyone is likable - which is sort of weird with outer space/outer dimension characters. Although I missed the protectiveness factor that's present in most shifter stories, I can see these dragons were probably young and didn't have much happiness if they were prisoners of some sort. They were totally cute!

Prisoners or no, the backstory could've been more detailed. As it stands, it lacks substance and we're not sure if they were captive because of sexual reason or no just that they were "pleasing to the eye" of the cruel-king. Aside from that, it really is different and unique from the usual dragon shifter stories we get. I mean, really... they don't act like predators, protective or possessive. They are more of a glittery, fun, furry sort of dragon which reminds me of the baby dragons in How To Train Your Dragon 2. It meant they made everyone happy and feel warm and fuzzy in their presence, maybe this is why their story and appearance were accepted so quickly and were barely questioned? I don't know, maybe they'll leave this for book 2 and more?

I didn't really pay attention to the MCs because I was too caught up in my head trying to understand why so many plotholes. I mean, where do they come from? How did they get captured? Are there more? Is it an entire species? Why was the magician so important? Who is the Cruel King? Why does he want them? Are they teenager for their species standards - Adult Bodies with Hormones Teenage Development at 30? How did they manage to perform the magic needed to travel? Too many questions, no answers.
The few things I was able to focus on were that they need mates and Nionn found his in Keith. It takes time for Keith to step up and Nionn to accept but when they finally do, they create an egg. AN EGG! I can't wait to meet this baby dragon.

These are the highlights for me; good and bad and meh.
- BAD: The timeline is confusing and doesn't make sense on some pages.
- GOOD: The dragons and glitter, the love despite how easy it was.
- MEH: The immediate acceptance. of the shifters from another planet.

Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.

The overwhelming feeling I'm left with, from this book is CUTE. Far Too Stinking Cute for its own good. And considering this is the ONLY book I can find by this author, I'm impressed too!

It's one of those books that sort of drags you in, you know? You can just wile away a good hour (for me, 126 pages, not bad going, even if I say so myself!) just reading about dragons, who came to earth to be freed, and a heavy rock band who kinda save them.

Its so freaking cute, it really is! The dragon form of Nionn and his brothers are not even massive things, like they usually are, just the size of small ponies, and in every colour way possible. The way they have babies is a little far fetched but hey! Purple dragons is perfectly normal, right??

See what I mean?? So cute and I wanna use the big bad F word here, but my review will get bounced. :-) So, freaking will have to do!

Both Keith and Nionn have a say. I did get a little lost with everyone else, except Keith's brother and his wife, but I'm sure later books will refresh my mind.

Because I do want to read more. I want to see where this brand spanking new author takes their craft, and how things work out for these dragons on their search for their mates. It'll be a whole lotta fun, I'm sure!

3 good, solid, super cute stars

Thank you, Jinx Jax, for writing these guys, I can see them spending a lot of time on my kindle in the future! Write quicker :-)

Keith's dream is to make it big with his heavy metal rock band but the demands to socialize and get ahead often means he drinks too much. After a long night of partying, Keith wakes up to do his day job of being a pool cleaner. His first stop had a big surprise. In a house that is supposed to be empty, he finds 6 naked men sleeping beside the pool. When Keith accidentally wakes one of them up, he hears an incredible story from the sexy man he can't keep his eyes off from. The six men are aliens who used magic to escape from a king who kept them in his own personal collection. Keith isn't sure if he can believe Nionn until one of the men shift into a glittery dragon. Just looking at the dragon made Keith feel better. When all six men are forced to turn into their dragon self, Keith knows he has to hide and protect his dragons. He takes them home with him.

Nionn and his friends hated being the property of the king. All they want is their freedom and their own mate and family. That is why they became desperate enough to try their escape spell. The spell brought them to Earth where everything is strange. When Keith discovers them, Nionn wakes up feeling that his mate is near. Nionn quickly learns that Keith is caring and protective. Keith and his brother and his friends will keep the dragons safe. They will also help them use their dragon self to earn money on the internet. Now he just has to figure out how to tell Keith that they are mates.

I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out.

[Megan · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think it was the writing and the pacing and the overall voice that threw me off. By all rights the premise and the fact that are are legit glitter dragons threatening to dominate the world via social media with the force of cute should have been enough to have me ass over tea kettle in love with the story. Except I wasn't. I wanted to, really, I truly wanted to love this story, but I just didn't.

Even the intimate chemistry was lacking along with the actual romance. Nothing actually built, it was just a whole lot of hesitations, distractions, interruptions, and spontaneous shifting that I really didn't believe the idea of mates by the end. I'm a sucker for fated mates and while this was purported to be a magical mating situation, very little of it felt magical.

And speaking of magic, very little of that was explained or demonstrated, with notable exceptions of weird glitter explosions and happy-feeling makings once the shifting happens. Yes, each dragon has individual abilities, but an overly enticing pool isn't enough to convince me that the magic is actually a compelling element of the story or the characters.

Between the awkwardness, the disrespect and insecurity, the rushed pace of everything, the vague discussion of magics, and the overall dynamic between all the characters, there wasn't much left to rave about in a positive way. Oh the story was fine, it was interesting in its unique elements, it just failed to wow me. I won't be continuing the series.

[Kkhmonrai · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I enjoyed this fated mates story with cute dragon shifters, I wanted a little more world building and background about the dragons. They were 'kept' by their king. How did that happen? Are their others? What about the magician who helped them escape? Was he one of their race, human, other? The dragon characters seemed a little naive and immature, not really strong or decisive. The story has several (potential) plot points that could be trouble. Keith admits to frequently drinking too much, but this doesn't seem to give him any serious trouble. It's brought up in the beginning, but never really touched on again. No expansion on why Nionn thought it might mean Keith was evil, but then pretty much forgot about it. Flamboyant seems like he will be an issue, but except for one phone call and mentioned threats, he goes away pretty quickly. I guess what I am saying is this book is enjoyable as a light, quick, funny, no suspense, no angst, minimal drama read. If you are looking for deep plot or characters, this is probably not for you. If you want attractive men who can shift into cute, horse-sized dragons whose very presence makes humans feel happy, this is your book. I thought it was pretty funny the way stress made the men spontaneously shift into dragon form. No fire-breathing, but plenty of glitter and sparkles.

I really enjoyed this short novella. This is a new author to me but the moment I saw dragons and eggpreg I knew I had to read this book! Two of my favorite genres.
This book centered around six brothers who are dragons from another planet trying to find their mates on earth. This book focuses on Keith, a struggling musician turned pool boy, and Nionn, a super sweet dragon thrown together by fate. The dragons eventually become “glitter dragons” who are made into internet celebrities by Ajax and the band.
I really liked the secondary characters, especially Muggle (one of Keith's bandmates), and hope they find their own mates among the dragons (there are six so it is entirely possible). There were a lot of characters and names that were thrown out hopefully the brothers will be more fleshed out in the books that follow. The most interesting part of this book was the way they took on the mpreg genre. I definitely recommend this book and can't wait to read more by this author!!

[Iliana · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an amazing read that kept me hooked and wanting more. The descriptions of each character and dragon were phenomenal and I was able to picture it all as if I was standing right there. Even though there are many time shifts, the author does a great job at explaining what happened during that time and does not leave the reader confused. The philosophical teachings through out the book were surprising but fit perfectly with the storyline. The history of the dragons and their home planet was really thought out and beautifully explained. I usually love knowing exactly how a main character's life is after the book, but the hope that is given at the end left me content and happy for Keith and Nionn.

The only critique I have for this book was there was not a lot of background on Nionn's dragon brothers. Even thought they were side characters i would have like to know what each of there powers are and at least a conversation with one of the main characrers. Although, this is a series so they could have their own books which would mean this was a great introduction to them.

I want to thank the author and publisher for the ARC and giving me the opportunity to review it.

Cute Start to a New Series . . .

This was a fun story and I am looking forward to the other characters finding their special mates.

Keith Lane is a musician trying to make it big. He works as a pool boy by day to pay the bills. He is about to meet with a big surprise when, at his pool job, he finds 6 naked guys in the pool. Nionn is a glitter dragon shifter. He and his 5 brothers left to escape a cruel king and come to Earth. Now Keith decides to help them find a way to earn money and establish themselves. He also feels a strong pull toward Nionn and tries to fight it, while Nionn senses Keith is his mate but feels he doesn’t deserve him. Will they ever get together and see if this is what Fate meant for them?

Keith gets his friends to help make the new visitors fit in and they work on plans to help the dragons become celebrities without being taken advantage of. The dragons seem to have a natural charisma. Will their superstar launch be successful? Have they found a home at last? And… who is next to find happiness?

Aww, glittering dragons!



This was a really sweet and cute story with glittering dragons. There is no real action or angst, it is all glitter and sweetness. Six dragons came to Earth from another world in search of freedom and mates, and somehow ended up in LA. They are not scary, big dragons, they are glittering, furry, soft dragons that make everyone who looks at them or stays in their presence feel all warm and fuzzy. That is pretty much what reading this book feels like, all warm and fuzzy. I struggled a bit with the world setting, but this is only book one, so who knows, maybe book 2 will explore more of what was left unresolved in this one. It is a nice feel good story and glitter is definitely a funny touch to it.

[Juniper · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the imagination that clearly went into this book: it has magical dragon shifters on the run from another plane of existence whose other forms are glittery cute perfection and whose physiology puts an interesting spin on mpreg. There’s a lot of cuteness, a ton of sweetness, and a dash of instalove/ fated matehood between Nionn and Kieth. It’s hard not to like the dragons, and the humans who come together to take care of them, as Kieth, his family, some friends, and some of their friends all work in (mostly) harmony to protect their newfound friends. There are definitely things I’d like to see developed in more detail, as time passes very quickly and somewhat haphazardly after the day of initial discovery, but overall this is a fun, sparkly romance with plenty of charm.

Keith Lane feels like his band will never make it big. He works as a pool boy while playing guitar. All that changes when he goes to clean a pool and finds six beautiful and naked men. They claim to be dragon shifters and Keith is dubious until they change in front of him. Keith soon realizes they have star power but he refuses to allow them to be manipulated. He also finds one of the dragons, Nionn to be one he just cannot keep his hands to himself. What happens next has to be magic!

What a delightful story Eggsquisite turned out to be. The back story for their arrival was amazing as was their ability to enchant everyone around them. Keith and Nione were meant for each other. They just had to get around the confusing part. There are more stories and hopefully each one of these special men/dragons will find their own love.

Keith is a rock star hopeful that is a pool boy by day. Nionn is a glitter dragon shifter who has escaped to earth with 5 of his brothers to get away from an unhappy life. Keith meets them by the pool of one of his clients and the games begin. This story plays out like a fun sitcom from the seventies or eighties. Keith happens upon aliens and tries to help. Nionn and Keith are both good guys who want to help and care for their friends. Keith enlists help from his friends to help and they are all in for the most part. This is such a feel good story and the romance between Keith and Nionn just made it sweeter. It seems that the other dragons have different personalities so I am looking forward to seeing how their search for a mate and life on earth will play out. Good lead in to the series.

Eggsquisite, Glitter Dragons #1 is a cute and quick read featuring six adorable glittering alien dragons and the musician (Keith) who finds them in the backyard near a pool he is supposed to clean. The dragons are all at first in their human form and naked. Keith is surprised to say the least and upon one waking up, Nionne, feels attracted to him more than he ever has to someone else. Nionne knows that Keith is his mate and immediately shows Keith his dragon form. Slowly all of the other men wake up and shift also.

This is a cute story that is quick and in my opinion needs to be longer in explaining some more about the other dragons and not be so rushed to conclude the book. I do look forward to reading the next one in the series. Enjoy.

[Victoria Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a bit of a weird one, folks. It's fun, it's engaging, and it's fast-paced (sometimes a little too fast-paced) but for me the writing could use a lot of improvement. The book is dialogue-heavy, and some of that dialogue is simply not believable. Characters accept things far too easily and readily. And there are some passages that are just screaming out for some more depth, some deeper emotions - such as when Keith actually goes flying on the backs of the dragons. We have no idea how this makes him feel, if it's fun for him, or frightening, or what. Hardly the 'how to train your dragon' moment I was hoping for. Ultimately this book is some lighthearted fun if you're after a quick easy read, but does not go much deeper.

This is my first book by this author and it was a quick read. A new take on dragons as we know them to be scaled and big. These dragons are smaller, fluffy and sparkle.

The book introduces a new series, but it felt like too much was crammed into a short story. The passage of time was confusing and nothing romantic happened between Keith and Nionn until the very end of the book. They were sweet towards each other, but I was hoping for a bit more romance between the two. I'm not a stranger to insta-love or fated mates, but I still want love and romance between the two.

Overall, it was an interesting take on dragons, fated mates and mpreg.

The premise of glitter dragons, came to life in this new series starter. These aren't your typical dragons. Arriving on Earth from another world- they are full of fluff, fur, softness, sweet, and not at all threatening in appearance.

We have Nionn, held captive and hoping for freedom and a mate. Unhappy with is life, he and his brothers- are in search for a better life.
Then there is Keith- an aspiring rock star and his day job is not even close to his dreams in IRL. Striving to become a rock star can rally take it toll on you.

On his way to one of his jobs, Keith assumes the house is empty. To his surprise, it isn't. After getting over his shock- and lack of ability to keep his eyes off the men- he agrees to help them.

Their road to a mated HEA, complete with side characters, is well worth the enjoyment of this new author.

New concept of dragons. Fun. Keith Lane would like to be on a path to be a rock star. He felt he had the skills, he just needed the breaks. He supplemts his non existant income by working as a pool boy. While on a job, he sees 6 buff built naked men, sleeping. Nionn is the only one awake and they have an introductory convoluted confersation. There was worldbuilding, but it was a bit complex. The whole concept was interesting. Keith is a bit juvenile and it was nice seing him on the adulthood path. Can they find a way to earn income? Will the dragons be discovered? Will the world object? Will they stay secret? Will the evil King find them? Interesting worldbuilding. Nionn was fun. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Keith has been drifting along hoping for fame and fortune until he goes to clean a pool and sees six naked guys. To further things, they can shift into furry dragons. Nionn and his brothers escaped a cruel king to land on Earth. Nionn and Keith turn out to be mates and Keith helping the dragons give him true purpose. It is a very interesting world that has been created in which the six dragons just want to find mates and to be free. It is ironic that Keith helps the dragons get the fame and fortune that his heavy metal band couldn't with the help of his friends and brother. I look forward to more in this series.
