Description
Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!
An unlucky bride...
Riona Grey lives life on her own terms, traveling wherever the next spaceship is flying and doing what she must to get by. When her luck turns sour, she finds herself on a bridal ship heading to a marriage ceremony. A planet of primitive shifters seeking mates wasn't exactly what she had in mind as a final destination.
Just when she thinks things couldn't possibly get worse, she wakes up months later in an isolation chamber with a sexy, hovering dragon shifter telling her they're meant to be together...forever.
The impatient groom...
After years of failed marriage attempts at the festivals, fate finally revealed Lord Mirek's bride... a day too late. Eager to have her, the dragon-shifter nobleman defies tradition and lays claim. But it's a mistake to go against fate's plans and his new wife is the one to pay the price of his impatience.
Now almost a year later, his bride is finally waking from a deep sleep. He feels the eagerness to claim her overtaking him once more. Fearful she'll slip through his grasp, he's hesitant to anger the gods by taking her to his bed too soon. But, how can a man resist the one thing that would make his life complete, especially when she looks at him with eyes of a seductress?
This is a test he can't fail, and yet with one of her sweet kisses he knows he may already have lost.

4By Goddess of ChaosRiona has been much talked about in previous stories, Nadja was looking for a treatment for her during her story, and her sister Aeron and her stories interweave in a lot of very nice ways. Mirek is responsible for negotiating with off worlders for the ore from their mines, and while Riona may have no idea how a vagabond gambler could be meant for him, he quickly discovers the perks that come from having a wife familiar with aliens and their customs. This is a genuine, laugh out loud fun read about a woman who has been so busy trying to live life to its fullest that she hasn't noticed the pressures she's put on herself, or some of the fears, and weights, she carries. Mirek, for his part, is an incredibly responsible person, who finds himself matched with someone who plays the odds, and takes chances he would never have dared before they met. I was gifted with a copy of this book and chose to share my review.Impulse Control is Not Lord Mirek’s Friend !
4By ArtemisPageThis is Lord Mirek and Riona’s story. It’s unlike the other books in the series as Lord Mirek defies the Gods and steals Riona away. Setting up a series of tests that he must pass before the Fates take her from him for good. If you love PNR, off the charts sex and a man having to work for obtaining the woman he loves, this book is for you. 4⭐️‘s.

5By RowenaB10After the build up of their story with each book, Mirek and Riona finally gets their chance. Mirek was the last brother to find his forever and together with Riona they ended up be my favorite couple by far. He has been waiting patiently as she recovers from an allergic reaction and when she finally wakes up it was so worth the wait. I loved that no matter what he still insists that she was made for him through it all they grew stronger and she believed in him in the end. Another wonderful addition to an addicting series with great characters and a storyline that you will fall in love with. I can’t for more in this series that doesn’t disappoint.“Green…really green.”
5By anij822“How did I miss you?” he wondered aloud. Finally we get Mirek and Riona’s story. We’ve had so many bits and hints and I’ve been wanting to know everything. This is the last of the four brother cousins and the final Dragon Lord book except the prequel that is book nine. It’s a fabulous end as it ties up all the loose ends. At the same time it’s bittersweet. I hate for it to end. Mirek is as wonderful as the hero as I knew he would be. Riona was much more than I realized and I ended up adoring her. What a fantastic final heroine. The way they immediately connected was so wonderful. “Green…really green.” It made me almost laugh! One of the coolest things about this series is that each story in each book occurred at the same time. We got to see the pov of each couple meeting the same night and all their interactions. I feel like I know every single one of them personally. This book cannot be read as a stand alone. You have to read it last. In all honesty, reading these books out of order is a disservice to the entire series. Read them in order one by one. Let Michelle reveal each layer as she planned them. Don’t skip or jump around. This is a true series. Don’t cheat yourself out of the full experience. I feel so fortunate to have found this series, even if I came late. The Dragon Lord series is truly epic in every sense of the word. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Loved It
5By Topmom52Thoroughly enjoyed this last book in the series. Although standalones, each of the 8 stories take place at the same time, each told from a different couple’s POV. Riona and Mirek are both strong characters. Their adventures kept me interested from the beginning. Just loved their story. Great interaction among all the couples.

5By DD1126I read this a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it. I decided to reread several of the books in this series. They are so very good! Michelle Pillow is such a talented world builder! I feel transported to this world. I recommend that you read the series in order, but each novel could be read stand alone. We meet Mirek and Riona in earlier books and I was excited to get to their story. I loved how loving and patient Mirek was as Riona learned how to trust in love.

5By ContessajjThis last book in this timeline is bittersweet. We’ve seen a lot of Mirek and Riona (in a medical booth) in the last three books, you might wonder how four books could simultaneously span the same period and not be repetitious. But each of the women and circumstances are different enough that a different point of view is examined in each book. While Mirek has been a serious character, this story brings out his mischievous and witty side too. Keeping up with Riona though proves a challenge for him. She sure brings a sense of fun to his life. Their romance comes after the marriage but is no less angst filled or heartwarming. Great read.

5By Adrian7619I like how Mirek was different than the other laws and didn’t doubt his path. I like that Riona was strong at the same time as being human. I like that she felt with her sister but didn’t take the chance to leave the planet when she thought her sister was in danger. I love that she took the negotiations from taking days to taking minutes. I like that Mirek listened to her and protected her as she protected him. I love what Michele and pillow did with the series.
