He's holding his life together by a thread after being fired from his prestigious gallery job for not sleeping with his boss. When he asks Aleks to contribute to the youth art charity he's working with, Zack has no idea his life is about to change for good.

But when his brother's mate pushes him to really see the sweet young man, Aleks knows Zack needs his help. And Zack is his mate. The two of them have to push past Zack's fear, and fight off the danger that comes from Aleks claiming Zack, to find their way. Can they claim their life together, or will it shatter like glass?

Dragon Glass is the second book in the Dragon Triplets trilogy, and probably best enjoyed when read in order, but it is also readable on its own.

I'm enjoying this series, but this book was a bit disjointed IMO. Zach has been fired from his job & ends up homeless, because he wouldn't sleep with his boss. He is living out of his car & is working for a charity & comes to speak to Aleks to get him to donate a piece. It will help kids in need. As soon as our boys see each other, sparks fly. I liked that Aleks didn't push Zach, even though he knew he was his mate. It was nice to see Zach & Kam hitting it off. I liked how Aleks helped Zach really tap into his artistic side.

Zack was a sweet guy, but he was also really determined to get through his current problems and get to a better life. I really liked him a lot.

Aleks is so creative, and he really is so caring toward Zack.

Aleks is one of three triplet dragons. He is an artist in glass. He has been waiting to find his destined mate for a long time but it gets harder after his brother finds his mate. He is wondering if he should go on a mate search because his mate isn't just going to knock on his door like his brother's did. One day while he is working on his glass art, someone comes knocking at the door and insists on talking to Aleks. He is there to ask Aleks to donate a piece of art for an auction to benefit a youth art program and for him to be a judge. Just one look at the omega Zack and Aleks knows that his mate did come knocking. When he figures out Zack is having hard times, he gives him food and a place to stay. This will give him a chance to introduce Zack to his world carefully.

Zack has been having a hard time. He lost his dream job working in an art gallery after refusing to give his boss' sexual advances. He has no money and is living in his car. Luckily the woman at the art program is paying him to arrange judges and track down donations for the art program. When Zack meets Aleks and his family, he is surprised at how kind they are. They even feed him and give him a place to stay. Aleks is especially supportive and even starts encouraging him to make art again. Everyone else in his life told him he had no talent. Then Aleks starts telling a crazy story about dragons and mates.

For three dragon shifter triplets, who were essentially loners throughout their lives, they never once hesitated to put their all into their mates.

When Aleks and Zach met, it was to donate art for an event. When they met, the sparks were there. Aleks knew Zach was his mate, but neither immediately acted upon those feelings. It took Kam, Dima's mate, to nudge them in the right direction. Asking questions is what the omega did best. Witnessing and feeling his pain, Aleks started comforting his mate and winning him over.
Their relationship moved rather quickly. Zach seemed really accepting of what he was becoming but more disappointed he hadn't been able to change into a dragon fast enough. Aleks was a patient and supportive mate. Helping Zach to embrace his artistic and sometimes culinary side.

We learned a little more about the trafficking case that extended into the second book. Turns out, Zach's former boss was an aggressive man to worry about. There were a few other surprise characters and such a fast moving, enjoyable dragon installment. All of the family pets made their appearance. Soot fully embraced his new family member.

All ready for Nick's book and the continuation of the trafficking case.

I think what I liked so much about this story was the way love and connection was so healing for the triplet brothers whose stories are being told across this series in relation to one another while each is finding his forever guy. In this story Zach has come to ask Aleks, the glass blowing artist triplet, if he will judge a young artists competition and for a piece of his work to auction. Aleks is interested in Zach but misses that something is off. Thank goodness for Kam, Dima's mate, who realizes that Zach is Aleks mate and that he needs help. Zach has been treated rudely by his last employer who tried to pressure him for sex and then lied on him and fired him. He is down on his luck and unaware of who and what he really is but his charity work brought him to the right place and not only does he help others but he is helped and brought into this extended family fold. He finds love not only with a mate but also with this growing extended family that is so loving and caring for every one of their members. And he also finds the confidence to be the creative artist that he is meant to be but didn't have to support or confidence to believe he could be. I can't wait for Nik's story.

A warm beginning to the book as Aleks has his fires going with more creations in the making.
Aleks was a glass blower working with sculptures for clients. Being interrupted when he’s on a roll was one of his pet peeves.
Zach was organising an art display and wanted Aleks to be a judge. Poor Zack he was in trouble and living in his car with nothing. I had to laugh as Aleks decides to help Zach with a place to stay without any negotiation its final, probably a good thing too considering what happened to Cam in the previous book. Zach doesn’t know what he is only thinking he’s not right which causes him distress. Oh boy I’d hate to have their food bill the way these guys are eating all the time.
A dragon shifter romance with mates finding mates at unexpected times. Niks the third twin that needs to find his mate and I know the others have a help in making that happen. Hot sexy scenes, baking and a bit of trouble at the ending but it all works out in the ending for Aleks and Zack.

The series needs to be read in order to understand the storyline line evolving around some child trafficking baddies to catch.

Book two in the Dragon Triplets series has brother Aleks finding his forever. I was wondering how the author was going to provide us with their meet cute as Aleks tends to get absorbed in his glassmaking work and isn't known to go out much into the world. It just so happens his mate Zack is looking for him to donate one of his works to a charity fundraiser for youths. I mean how can you say no to young budding artists? It proves even harder to say no to Zack.

As with book one, this is very instalovey. Zack also has no idea of his heritage, but takes it in stride as Kam did. Like Kam, Zack being an omega comes with some pretty convincing traits. I loved how the brothers accepted Zack into their circle and home. He was Aleks mate, so that made him family. It was cute seeing the friendship blossom with Zack and Kam as well.

Nikolas was surprising in how much he seemed to envy his brothers happiness. It seems the sometimes grumpy dragon is hoping on his own mate to come soon. His book is slated for November and I look forward to him finding his forever.

So sweet!

This was such a sweet addition to the series. Zach and Aleks made such an adorable couple. I just loved how Aleks boosted Zach's confidence in his art. He was so supportive and uplifting and that's exactly what was needed.

I also really loved the message in this book. Art is a living, breathing thing and yeah maybe not everyone is going to like what you do, but to the ones who get it it may be life changing. I just kept thinking about Gayle from bobs burgers saying "you don't need hands to make art, you just have to MAKE ART". Zach was told over and over that he had no talent by people he thought knew everything, but with just a smidge of confidence behind him he realized that he was a fantastic artist. That's an important message no matter your form. Painting, glass blowing, sculpture, or even writing. Maybe not everyone will think its amazing but the ones who get it are the ones who matter anyway.

Beautiful message, beautiful story. Love this book, series and author. I'd give it more stars if I could, honestly.

This one was a little disjointed for me. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed Aleks and Zach, but the writing was slightly abrupt and broken in places.

I really liked Aleks when we met him in the first book, Dragon of Fire. As an artist, he seemed sensitive and sweet, while being funny and flirty. Zach was an adorable match for him. He had no confidence in himself, but Aleks was quick to reassure him. Aleks really supported Zach and let him grow into his own person and dragon. They were sexy together and you could really see their passion for one another.

Where it felt disjointed in places was mostly with Zach’s POV. He would say something out loud, but follow it up with thoughts in his head that seemed like they should have been spoken out loud. It made for reading that wasn’t as smooth as it could have been. Still, the overall story was delightful and I loved these two together. Now we just need Nik’s story and I can’t wait.

I am thrilled when a series contains lovable, memorable characters that appear in various books throughout the series. As I got to meet Zach and find out more about Aleks, I became enchanted by them, while being reminded how much I love Kam and Dima. It was nice seeing their interactions with each other, and Nik.

A series like this that contains a family or group of friends just feels like a gift. It keeps giving as the series builds and more layers unveil. The more exposure I have to the characters, the more I feel like I really get to know and connect with them, and the more I want. I can’t wait for the third triplet to find his mate.

Ducky, Soot, and Fluffy are a bonus. I love pets and enjoy when they are written into a story where they are fairly prevalent and not just mentioned a couple times. These three are their own characters and they add to the series.

Enjoying this series and looking forward to Nik’s story.

After being fired from a gallery for not sleeping with the boos, Omega Zack is on his last legs. He wants to ask glassblower Aleks to help with his youth art show. Aleks refuses but his brother’s mate asks him to talk to him. He realizes the young man is his mate and that he needs his help desperately.

Aleks is a talented artist and sometimes gets caught up in his work shop, making it hard to leave his work, but one person he will leave it for is his mate. It turns out that Zach is also a talented artist but times and a nasty boss has left him with little to no confidence in his abilities. They have much to overcome starting with Zach’s fears and the return of an individual involved in Aleks’s brother’s, investigation surrounding his mate, Kam. The two are perfect for each other and their love became a thing of beauty. It was nice to see Dimas and Kam again as well as the dogs. Nik is next and that is one book to look forward to.

Dragon of Glass is the second book in the Dragon Triplet series by author Minerva Howe. You do not need to read the previous story to understand this one, but I suggest you do read book one, it is amazing!!

Aleks- loves doing blown glass. He loves a challenge. He has a dog named soot. He is a dragon shifter. Dimi is his assistant. He is gruff but has a great heart.

Zack- he has come to Aleks to get an art piece for the benefit of the youth program. He also would like to get him to judge the contest. He has lost his dream job. He has no money. He is living out of his car. But he has a good heart and is willing to do the work to rebuild his life.

There is lots of love and connection in this story. I loved it. I loved the art aspects and how it makes Aleks feel. Just beautiful. When you want a great story with out of the box thinking this is the perfect story to read.

The triplets are back but now it's Alexi's and Zachary turn to the reader's interest on. Alexi is the gentle dragon drawn to Zach, but he realizes that to win over this reluctant omega's heart he needs to move slowly in an easygoing and patient way as Zach has had the misfortune of dealing with an
aggressive boss of questionable nature who Zach thankfully turned down his advances, leading Zach to be homeless. Little does Zach realize his dragon nature. But Alexi recognized his true nature. Most of this book is of a slow burn nature with the angst and danger appearing only in the last few chapters. All in all, a satisfyingly sweet story from beginning to end. This is my voluntary and honest review.

I'm liking this series a lot. The brothers are finding their mates under weird but lucky circumstances. I will say in this book...it didn't take Zach too long to be convinced of Aleks being his dragon mate...not a lot of wooing as Dima did Kam in the last book but the results were the same. I don't think that there was as much drama/angst as the book before which is OK(more sweet and heat)...and just a hint of the issues that is ongoing throughout the series. We see a lot of love, care and trust given to these troubled young men who found home and happiness with the dragon triplets. Lovely ending and hopefulness that Nik the older triplet will find his mate soon...Can't wait!!

Dragon of Glass is a sweet, fun and intriguing addition to the Dragon Triplets series with great characters and I really enjoyed it. Zach is a sweetheart and he is dealing with a lot but once he meets Aleks things start to get much better for him as well as he gains a wonderful friend in Kam. Aleks is thrilled to meet his mate and he will do anything he can to support and care for Zach. I love the close relationship between the triplets and how welcoming and protective they are of Zach and Kam. Overall this is a lovely story with some interesting secondary characters, the ending is perfect and I can't wait to read the next book in this exciting series.

Another great dragon fated mates romance from Minerva Howe. Zack has had a hard road before he got to Aleks's door and it's thanks to Kam that he takes notice and discovers his mate.
Together, the two men quickly build their bond and become the perfect person for each other. Zack blossoms under the care and attention of Aleks and the friendship and found family with Dima, Kam and Nik. There's a small dose of drama but the triplets are quick to protect those around them and also find out something in regards to what happened to Kam in book one.
An easy and enjoyable read and I'm now eagerly awaiting the third in the series as Nik is overdue for his own fated mate and HEA.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Absolute perfection!

This book rocks! The second of the Dragon Triplets to get his mate is Alexi. His mate will show up looking for him to be a judge at an art show at the children’s center. Alexi agrees but seems to miss the fact that Zach is in trouble. Kam picks up on it right away and brings him into their home. It doesn’t take Alexi long to realize Zach is his mate and he does everything he can to make Zach feel safe, wanted and loved, something he needs with his past. With Alexi’s love, Zach will find his passion for art again and learn the truth about who and what he really is, and that all the things about himself that made him feel broken are actually what make him special.

I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.

Sweet, hurt/comfort, fated mates and oh so HOT!

Sweet fated mates story for Aleks and Zach. Following in Kam and Dima’s wake, Zach shows up on their doorstep and insists on seeing Aleks. After too many hits, Zach needs a win and getting Aleks Petrov to commit to helping with the youth art sale is his. Aleks misses it the first time but when Kam pulls him back, he realizes that Zach is his.

This book is much lower angst than Kam and Dima’s book but just as sweet and hot. I mean, can anything be hotter than dragon shifters finding their mates? Really looking forward to finding out who steals Nic’s heart and seeing the traffickers get their comeuppance. Another wonderful series from Minerva Howe!

Good, finds good. Aleks, is an absolutely focused glassblower with minimun social skills. Zach meets Aleks when he tries to recruit him to judge and donate to a youth art charity. Zach was harrassed by his boss then fired when he wouldn't give in. He approaches Aleks when he is at his emotional lowest. Aleks, is interested and intends to pursue him later. Kam is wise enough to notice, Zach is special and may be more special to Aleks. Zach, like Kam was ignorate of his heritage while always having the feeling he was different than other people. Good story. Excellent support. Cute fun among the brothers. Does Zach find his dragon? Is Kam still doing well? Are a few questions answered and resolved? Good series. Nicely done. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ah yes, more dragons for me! I liked it. For a moment it felt like Minerva was going to drop the secondary plot line of the first book, but it was picked up later on, which I like. I feel like the romance is more rushed in this series than in the dragon sanctuary, but we also don't get the passel of babies here, which is a dynamic I enjoyed, even though this universe allows for mpreg. Not everyone needs a baby right away, and I'm more than ok with them choosing to wait.
I liked Zack, and not only his rapport with Aleksi but also with Cam, Dima and Nick. I am looking forward to the third book for sure.

Aleks takes a minute or two to realise his mate is right there, in the converted warehouse he shares as a home and studio with his brothers. For some reason Zack can't leave and their story begins and just grows into a very sweet and special thing. The triplet dragon bothers are all finding the love of family with new mates and more fun. Two down and one to go, I can't wait to find the answer to all the trouble that is popping up to make this series more than just romantic. I just love me a dragon story written by this very talented author. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I loved this book. Dima and Kam were great Aleks, and Zach were a fantastic following to them. This book had the perfect balance of steam and plot. The dogs were still there and amazing. The art theme and the main characters making art together was excellent. Overall, this book kept me engaged beginning to end. The mystery from book one was followed up toward the end. This book had magic and wonder. I really recommend this for a short read with a great storyline. I'm super eager to see what mate the universe has in store for Nik and the resolution of those who are being pursued for being paranormal. Excellent plot and story. I recommend this for a good and easy read.

Alexi meets Zach when Zach asks for an art donation for a local youth art auction; Alexi doesn't know it, but he has just met his mate. Luckily, Kam (from book 1) recognizes that not all is right in Zach's world and digs a bit deeper. Turns out, Zach is living in his car after being fired for spurning his employer's unwanted advances. The second time Alexi spends time with Zach, he realizes he how special he really is...this leads to a beautiful relationship between two men who have so much in common. I really enjoyed reading this book with its beautiful descriptions of glass blowing, three amazing pups, and forward progress on the trafficking ring from Kam's book.

The evil plot continues!!!

Dima and Kam got their HEA now it's Aleks' turn. This is book 2 in the Dragon Triplets series.

OMG this book was so sweet and swoon worthy. I've enjoyed reading how each triplet meets their mate and the struggles their mates have gone through. When Aleks meets Zach, Kam steps in realizing Zach needs help when Aleks is completely oblivious, being immersed in his art.

This is a non-mpreg series, but I kind of wish it wasn't. If Minerva decides to have the mates get pregnant in the final book, I'm good with that!!! 😉

Can't wait to see Nik get his HEA.

Aleks and Zach are on fire! Short, sweet and steamy book about brother Aleks and how he finds his mate. Zach has had a hard time but once he sets foot inside the triplets’s business/home, he never has to worry again. Kam recognizes something about him and gets Aleks to let him stay. And Zach never leaves! Kiss danger than the first book although the threat is still there. I can’t wait to read Nick’s book and meet his mate. He is getting lonely! These brothers and their little found family are truly something special.

Aleks and Zach were so sweet and perfect together. Their dynamics is so heart warming and I really loved the way it bloomed.
Aleks is so protective and caring and brings to front the artsy side of Zach, makes him realise his worth and to see that he deserves happiness and being secure.
Loved the way the family support their relationship and helps Zach integrate, how beautifully Zach complete Aleks and the joy it brings.
I really loved the story and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

This second book about Dragon brothers finding their mates is as entertaining as the first book. I liked how easy this book was to read, there is no angst and although there is a ‘bad’ guy, he is absent for the majority of the book and is so quickly dealt with that he was a non event really, but does give a clue to the overarching storyline. I liked how Alex and Zach fit together, they seemed to be just perfectly suited. Nic is the only brother left so am looking forward to his book. This a hug in book form, a lovely read from start to finish.

So cute and Fluffy, steam, hurt/comfort

I love these stories and I really needed the fluff. Dragon shifters, Aleks, is a glass blower which is totally interesting to me,.and then there's Zach, an omega in trouble. Hence the hurt/comfort. A bit of a rocky start to their relationship, but they are too cute. I felt like the end was kind of rushed together. And it was getting a little too syrupy but still it was a cute read. It doesn't matter if it gets shmoopy, I will read every one of these because I just love the dragons finding their mates.
