The Goldencrest Pack #4

The Dragon and His Wolf

Rate this book
All Ladon ever wanted was to find his one special person to love.
After centuries of searching, he gives up on finding his fated mate.
He has settled down in Goldencrest City, working a normal job in ICT like any human would, letting the days, and his hope for love, pass by.

Notorious bachelor, James Blackwood is the CEO of Vault Tech, and he has no time for the "little guys", until he needs them, that is. His security system is hacked, and it forces him to call in the best ICT guy in his company.

The ICT guy greets him with a polite handshake, and with that touch, their lives collide. Igniting more sparks than a fireworks show on the fourth of July.

Ladon has longed for this moment, but now that it's here, will he be able to let go of his fear and take a chance on love again? James is not looking for love. He's not a man that can be tied down, no matter what the Moon Goddess said all those aeons ago... but Ladon.

Could Landon be the one to tame James' heart? Can the disillusioned romantic Ladon conquer fear and give his heart to another?

See the fireworks unfold in this fourth installment of the Goldencrest Pack Holiday Story

What a super cute little PNR read!

I’m enjoying the two sided nature of these shifters. Especially when James argues with his wolf (Julius), that’s cracking me up.

I’m right there with you Ladon, I hate small talk.

Lol, both their shifter halves sound like nagging mother hens.

Jadon is especially cute when his dragon Stephanos is behind the wheel.

They both tried to deny what fate was shoving in their face but in a perfect world, love conquers all.

A short, heat with some steam read! 🥵

The author is always leaving me wanting more from her characters, and Ladon & James weren’t the exception.

Stephanos, Ladon dragon form, has been looking for his mate for a long time. But as the time passed, Ladon has given up on finding him!

James is fighting his mate call, while Julius long for it.
Julius, James wolf form, don’t want to give up his mate and refuses his decision.

“Let’s go show that wolf we are not to be commanded.” Why is this sentence so freaking hot!!! 🥵

‘I’m going to show James I’m not another one on his long list of conquests. I’M HIS FREAKING MATE.’ James is about to get some sense knock up on him!!! And LOM 🥵 just be ready for what comes next!!! 🔥

The sparks between Ladon and James are nothing but 🔥 about to burn.




I received an ARC of this story and this is my voluntary review.

I received this ARC and it made my evening!!!!

The Dragon and his Wolf is the 4th instalment of “The Goldencrest Pack Holiday Series.” A town ruled by wolves where they live in peace with humans and all supernatural beings around, welcoming them into their folds and making their citizens a mix and match of interesting creatures and couples.

The book tells the story of two beautiful men🔥 finding each other with some unexpected turns. James, a notorious bachelor, the one-night-stand guy, and powerful CEO of a company, is happy with his life just the way it is, at least he thinks so until he meets the ICT guy, Ladon, one of his employees, the shy nerdy guy, who barely leaves his office in the company's basement, to solve a big problem. After centuries of looking for love, Ladon had given up, and he wasn’t eager to give his heart to a man-whore like James.

 The characters have unique personalities, qualities and flaws. They nestled in your heart❤️, connecting with them and living their moments throughout their eyes. They learn about themselves in their journey, mostly James, since he was the one to ooze power, give orders, and dominate. 

One of my favorite scenes was when Ladon showed his Dragon to James. “We need to shift back. James needs me right now,” 🐉😍Ladon asked Stephanos, his dragon form. I won’t give any spoilers, 🤭but what comes after that simple protective sentence was impressive, and it will melt your heart! 😭😍

It’s a sweet and steamy novella. Sparks fly every time they are together, and the passionate scenes 🔥🔥leave you wanting a few cold showers 🚿before you get to the next one. The story grips you and you keep turning pages until you see the words ‘the end.’ And right there it’s where you get sad, because you realise the story ended, and you want more, because James and Ladon grow on you, and you cheer for them the entire time. I wish it could’ve been a little longer. The author always leaves us hanging for more, and I love it. If you like paranormal shifter romance, and enjoy M/M stories, the Wolf and his Dragon is a must!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

One of the things that makes this world so unique are the shifter counterparts of the characters that are represented as their own entetities with their own names. I love this aspect of these stories and how the characters interact with their shoter counterparts!

As all of Kindra White’s stories, The Dragon and His Wolf did not disappoint. Here are these two people who collided into an unexpected romance. Ladon, who had all but given up on his love life and James who had closed himself off to the idea of love completely. The romantic vs playboy dynamic was fun to read and boy did it get steamy! I loved the character building and background stories of these guys and watching them grow to finally accept one another as mates.

I must commend the author on yet another great work of fiction with The Dragon and His Wolf. Looking forward to her next piece of work.

::: SPOILER-FREE REVIEW :::

Rating: 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

HOLY SHIT ON A STICK!!!!!! 😱🔥🤩

Wow this book! This story!

Kindra White created such a unique and fantastic world ruled by wolves where they live in peace with humans and all supernatural beings around. And all together gave us a great story.

I've started this book right before going to sleep. Wrong choice! I just couldn't go to sleep until I finished it. I woke up exhausted and still thinking about the story! That's how much I enjoyed it.

This is the 4th instalment of “The Goldencrest Pack Holiday Series.” My second book by Kindra White. She is amazing. I've enjoyed her other book (The Easter Bunny and the Wolf) so I was really looking forward to this one. It definitely came through and was as good as I thought it would be.💖

This book had it all

Amazing word building ✔️
Epic plot ✔️
Multidimensional characters ✔️
Hot sex on a platter ✔️
LGBTQ romance✔️

What I loved here would be the uniqueness of the story, the flow and lightness of the reading, the sweetness of the romance and also the unexpected hotness. Oh and there are SO many hot scenes! 🔥🔥

I'm so happy and excited and mushy and I want to hug everybody and OMG I want more... I don't know what's going on with me, I'm just so in love with these characters.

This ending was absolutely EPIC and I couldn't have wished for more.....that's a lie...I always want more !!!! I am greedy like that 😉🤭

Thankfully, I know Kindra White has got plenty up his sleeve for us, so now I will just sit here, not so patiently, and wait.

I highly recommend this book !!

Amazing descriptive scenes!!!

“Αν ξαναζήσω τη ζωή μου, θα σε βρω νωρίτερα, αγάπη μου. (If I am to live my life again, I will find you sooner, my love)”

This quote at the end of this book is what made the story worth it for me. It feel in line perfectly. Now I love this series so far but for me this wasn't my kind of book, only because I'm not one for guy on guy , but many are, but with that being said this book got 4 stars because the plot was still good and enjoyable and the description and tone of the story and characters was more then enough for me to enjoy.

So if you like a short, interesting book and your into the hot guy on guy thing, which let's face it a lot of us are lol, then this is an amazing read that I know you'll enjoy.

The scene where Ladons dragon shows himself to James was amazingly written and enjoyable. I love how well the dragon is written in this story.

Can't wait to dive into the next book.

The Dragon and his wolf...

I loved how this book portrayed both shifter and m/m relationship as perfectly normal. I love reading #lgbtsupport books especially when they are short sweet and to the point like all of her books are. Both Landon and James are amazing😍

The Dragon and the Wolf was sooo good! Super sweet and short! I fell in love with these characters super fast. They relationship was so sweet and I loved every second of reading through their eyes. Though, I would have like them to figure out there feeling for each other a little faster, but I do always say that!

Ladon and James were such an wonderful couple! I loved how James, the one who normally is always dominate and in control, found his equal and someone to dominate him. And I loved how Ladon, after an eternity of searching, finally found his mate.

This was such a great shifter romance and LGBTQ+ romance! My only complaint is that I wish it was longer, but is that really a complaint😉

Thank you to the author for allowing me to read a copy in exchange for an honest review!

This is the second book I've read in the Goldencrest Pack series, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a sweet and steamy novella!

The characters are likable and relatable, the magical atmoshpere of the setting is lovely and intriguing as the concept of a paranormal shifter romance itself.

This is a book that will leave you with a smile on your face, but be ready for some very hot content on the way! After all, we're talking about a DRAGON and a WOLF falling in love... fireworks are guaranteed!

This was a slow burn romance (or mating) but the feelings of the characters were well conveyed. The story moved at a slow smooth pace, however, it pretty much just involved the romance more so than the plot device about a computer hacker. I did enjoy the style of writing and the ending was very sweet.

This is a m/m romance 18+

I really enjoyed this short story and read it all in one sitting.

Landon is a dragon who has been searching for his mate. He is an IT expert who works in the basement of a company.
James is the boss of that company and a wolf. When a security breach allows their paths to cross they discover that they are actually mates.
But James doesn't want a mate.

If you enjoy mm romance then I think you'll enjoy this. It also has a happy ending and is able to be read standalone.

This was a short but very sweet paranormal romance, one of the standalone novellas in the goldencrest pack holiday series.
It's a MM romance with fated mates, tension and spice.
Ladon (dragon-shifter) and James (wolf-shifter) are both HOT, stubborn and want control, and they can't help but fall into the mate bond driving their connection, with the help of their shifter alter ego's.
This was a fun read that I devoured and couldn't put down! Only downside is that this story ends too soon, i need more of these cuties!

Sweet little MM romance with fated mates and instant attraction. The story was lovely; it was certainly different, having the animal half of the shifters as a separate entity with their own names and personalities.

💖 I love Wolves and Dragons! They are definitely my favourite, but you need to meet these guys! They are so hilarious! Their chatter with their beasts leaves me laughing so much!

💖 If only impatient people could catch an elevator occassionally... and not run the stairs to the basement office...

💖Ok, any more comments from me will tell too much! Go read the book! It's so much fun with an Happily Ever After!

💖 Oh and did I mention 🐺 and 🐉?? And 🌶️🌶️🌶️ And it's book 4... Lots more to visit in the world! 💖

💖 What are you waiting for?

💖 Happy Reading!! 💖
