Awaken the Dragon #3
Her Dragon Protector
Book 3 in the Awaken the Dragon series
Eating a sheep isn't usually a big deal for dragon-shifter Tarn. But waking up in a new time and getting shot at for his little snack comes as a surprise. Although he escapes, he finds himself at the mercy of the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. His mate. He wants to heal quickly to show her all the dirty things he wants to do to her. To prove he loves her, of course.
Eva’s tired of living in a big mansion with loneliness as her companion. Tarn brings happiness and romance into her life. Okay, so he's a little outdated when it comes to flirting, but that's what makes him charming. Unfortunately, Tarn learns all the latest slang and it's no time before he makes it clear he wants to tap her backside. She should be embarrassed, but the sizzling looks he gives her make it really hard to not be excited instead.
Tarn and Eva need to figure out why he has woken up and why her father is acting so strangely. Dragons are being destroyed with their own magic. It must be stopped. They track down the poachers that want him dead. It's a battle for survival while Tarn and Eva figure out if their romance can survive the dragon hunters.

The ladies of Talent bring us another new book in the **awaken the dragon** series. This series has been so much fun to ready and I found myself often giggling.
our girl has a wonderous imagination and when she runs into Tarn, she realizes magic is real and so are dragons. The majestic Dragon is injured and she cant fathom who would want to hurt such a creature. She knows one thing and that is she has to help him.
Tarn wakes a bit befuddled why is he awake better yet this doesn't look like the home it had when he went to sleep. When he see's our Eva well sleep is farthest from his mind, the beauty calls to him as no other ever has.
Yous know the ladies have to throw in an OMG WTH moment oh and they did. Tarn and Eva battle feelings, they battle the what-ifs, with the steamy hot scenes there is a mystery afoot, oh we can't leave the baddies out, Taiden and Hunter mixed them with the who kit and kaboodle Turns out to be an amazing story with easy to love characters. You're gonna love the end *wiggles eyebrows* Enjoy

3.5 stars
I enjoyed this story. Eva and Tarn were an unusual pair, but I thought they worked. Although Tarn has awoken to a world very different than what he knows, he is trying to adapt to the strangeness. Eva is already dealing with a father that has become a man she doesn't recognize. Adding a shape-shifting dragon, was not something she was expecting. There was a warmth and connection between these two and I enjoyed seeing them come together. I did think the world-building for the story needed a bit more work. There are things that could have been expanded and others that just seemed to be glossed over or ignored that left me wondering. Still this was my favorite of the series so far.
Although I think you have more background if you read the previous books, I do think this works okay as a stand-alone. The other characters don't appear until close to the end.

This is a great summer read, loved every moment of this book. The kind of read you don't put down until you're done, leaving the dishes all over the place, laundry undone and a messy head of hair! This story is part of a trilogy, but has a different twist than the other two books
Eva has a life, that feels like it isn't much of a life, she's lonely upset and whoah........meets up with a dragon just out of hibernation! Tarn is rough around the edges , Eva isn't quite sure about him, but they have instant chemistry.This book is full to trial and worries, but also laughter and fun. Grab the book and enjoy yourself.

Great read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I love to read books hy Milly Taiden. This is the third book in the Awaken the Dragon series. This is Eva and Tarn's story. Tarn awoke after a deep deep slumber to find the world had changed. Eva left her life as an artist to come home to help care for her father. But she feels like she doesn't really have a life. Eva and Tarn are the perfect match. This series just keeps getting better and better. It was a very enjoyable and entertaining story! I highly recommend! Keep up the amazing work!!!

Lady Eva and Tarn are the perfect match. She is a warrior and protector and he's just the dragon to protect her back. Eva has been taking care of her Dad for quite some time but something is wrong. She's out riding her horse one night when she comes across Tarn in Dragon form. He just woke up and is in shock from all the advances humanity has made.
This story isn't quite like the other two but I do love their connection. I laughed so many times when Tarn changed forms and I loved how it ended. I highly recommend picking this up but you may want to read the other two first.

Silly, crazy dragon love story
The book has its moments of humor & romance. I love Milly Taiden & generally enjoy her work. This is not my favorite book. I had a really hard time getting into the story. I never really connected to the characters & just couldn't wait for the story to end.

Getting with the times
Yet again this writing duo have won me over with their stories. I love this couple! They both have that warrior attitude and ability to adapt when they need to. The authors paired them together perfectly, and it was enjoyable to watch them overcome each new situation and reach their HEA. This is a fantastic series, and this book is my favorite one in it. I can’t wait to read the next adventure by these two authors! I just know it’s going to be amazing!

This is a great read, thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book
This is a simply wonderful read I loved every moment of this book it was simply riveting and there was no way you will be able to put this book down once you start reading and simply wait and see where this wonderful book takes you, I assure you that like me you will be totally blown away.
Eva is tired of the life that she has been living all alone in a mausoleum of a home with no warmth and no real heart so when she meets Tarn the happiness and the love and romance, she feels in her life is beyond anything she could have dreamed of.
Tarn may be a little rough around the edges however, his heart is in the right place and he will do whatever it takes to bring a smile to he should be a little embarrassed by how openly it makes her heart race and how wonderful it makes her feel but there is nothing that makes her happier.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

3rd book in the series. Eva is taking care of her dad and he is acting strange after coming back from one of his adventures. ( I have my suspicions).
She find Tarn injured and does not know what to do. This one has drama suspense and action.

Just awakened dragon-shifter Tarn has a lot to learn about this modern world. Eva is an artist with a big imagination. When Tarn tangles with a grumpy alien hunter with an automatic rifle its Eva who nurses him back to health and teaches him about this new world he’s awakened in.
These two characters have a lot to go through before admitting their attraction might be something more. I loved Eva and her big heart. This book is a wonderful escape.

Tarn awoke after a deep deep slumber to find the world had changed. He was just trying to get a meal when he was blasted by what? Armor piercing shells- right through his dragon scales. And to make it worse, nor only can't he fly but he's unable to shift.....Eva spotted the disturbance from her house. But was she surprised when she discovered what the source was. But dragons don't exist or do they? All she knows is he needs her help, and she could never turn down an animal in need....and Tarn may have discovered his fated mate.....another fabulous dragon shifter romance by Milly Taiden and Ava Hunter

A little departure from the previous books. The other two dragons woke up as arrogant, human haters. Pretty demanding right off the bat.
Tarn is pretty respectful of Eva when they meet and appreciates her help. No explanation for why he shifts back and forth uncontrollably while the others got stuck in their human forms.
We learn a little about something going on with the Dragon hunters and Eva’s father’s drastic change in behavior. Would have liked to know how he ended up involved with them.

Milly Taiden has done it again!! Eva and Tarn are lovable and relatable characters that will melt your heart. You will find yourself in their corner and on the edge of your seat to see if they will be able to beat the odds and enemies to be together.

I love this series but I think this is my favorite one! Tarn and his shifting is so funny and his hiding that first time…hilarious!! It was good seeing his outlook on the modern world. Eva was fantastic! Everything she’s going through with her dad and then finding out about dragons, she handled it great! I loved these two characters! This was a very enjoyable and entertaining story! I highly recommend!

Eva & Tarn
She left her life as an artist to come home to help care for her father but he isn't acting like the father she's known. Avoiding him as much as possible leads her to an impossible site. A dragon. A real dragon who is injured. Who hurt him and what is she to do?
He doesn't know how long he's been hibernating. What is going on in this new time? Who hurt him and will he live to find out? He'd sure like to find out more about the beautiful woman who is trying to help him.
They have a lot to learn about each other and the enemies plus more. She is strong and courageous. He has a lot to learn. The enemies are familiar to Tarn. Will he be able to find the answers and save his love?
There are some surprises but a really big one at the end.

Her Dragon Protector
Eva comes home to look after her Ill father but it’s not as easy and straightforward as she thought. To take a break she starts walking the beautiful place she now living in.
While hiding from her dad she comes across a sleeping dragon that has been hibernating from injuries for a long time.
Tarn wakes up to a beautiful human that is taking care of him. He has a lot of issue once waking up. Spontaneous shifting which is hilarious and waking up in a digital age and not understanding human.
This is a great change in pace for Milly Taiden. You can not be disappointed with this queen of paranormal romance

I really like this series. I like that it gives you a slightly different view of our modern conveniences. Tarn was like a new born baby in some aspects and yet not. Eva lived a solitary life, with a vivid imagination. This is a little humorous at times. But with the Taiden touch awesome. One click and continue the Awakening Dragon series it's also awesome. I volunteered to read and review an advance reader copy.

A wonderful addition to the Awaken the Dragon series.
I chuckled over Tarn’s thoughts about humans, his constant uncontrolled shifting and his attempts to hide.
Eva was kind and determined to save the dragon.
We also learn a bit more about the Dragon Hunters.
This was a really enjoyable read.
