Description
Welcome to the dangerous world of Qurilixen where dragon-shifters and cat-shifters rule as fiercely as they love.
The bayou is about to get a whole lot hotter for Drake.
Alpha male dragon shifter, Drake, had all but given up on finding a mate until one practically falls into his lap. On his home planet, there is a shortage of females, and travel to Earth to look for brides has been reserved for the dragon princes. After sneaking through the royal portal, he knows he can never go home, but Earth women are not as easy to find as he expected.
Lori Johnston's not sure which is scarier--being stranded on the Louisiana bayou at night surrounded by alligators or being rescued by a dragon. Then again, if that dragon turns out to be a sexy alpha male maybe her adventure into the wilderness might not be that bad.
Book Three of the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter series, a dragon shapeshifter fantasy/sci fi romance from NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.
5 Stars! "I really loved this fast-paced contemporary romance, a spinoff story from Pillow’s sexy sci-fi Qurilixen books." Arysta, Bookbub (2021)

About the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter Series
Welcome to the dangerous world of Qurilixen where dragon-shifters and cat-shifters rule as fiercely as they love. They might have escaped human persecution long ago to live on their own terms, but now must return to Earth to ensure their survival.
For Qurilixen Fans
A modern day prequel series installment to those first books (Dragon Lords & Lords of the Var®), taking place long before the princes you know and love ever found their mates, long before The Dragon’s Queen, in a time when the dragon-shifters and cat-shifters actually—wait for it—liked each other and hung out as friends. They also don’t have Galaxy Brides to bring them women. What they do have is the old portal that they used to escape Earth. There’s no one left to marry on the planet and things are starting to get desperate. This series can be read as a standalone.

Reviews
Loved it
5By bmore1130Romantic and hot!!! Definitely a must get! Loved the world the author created. I enjoyed getting lost with her words and as always she don’t disappoint with her story line and characters. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Can’t beat a bayou boy
4By hibdwwIt’s hard to beat a bayou boy for someone to take care of you when there’s a problem. Those Cajun’s stick together, as seen in this book. Drake saves the day, initially, and then the sheriff and Ursa go to the mat for Drake. Everyone is family in the Louisiana bayou…apparently, even those guys from another world who are made honorary Cajuns with moonshine and a dip in the bayou. It’s great to see that portrayed here. The insta romance…is truly instant. There’s a lot more going on with Drake and his new family, really, than the romance part of this book. Yeah, they get together, and that’s great, but lots of the other parts of this book outshine the rest. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.“He would jump into the unknown.”
4By Goddess of ChaosDrake snuck through the portal to Earth with no idea what was waiting for him on the other side. His description of the French Quarter in New Orleans is priceless, his journey to becoming Cajun charming, and his place in the community genuinely earned, and means some delightful secondary characters come into play. Lori is a photographer who thought she knew what she was out to take pictures of, but a night on the bayou goes off course and ends up reminding her that photojournalists have ethical dilemmas too. This done in one story is a fun quick read that ties in to the previous stories loosely, and sets up more in this series taking place on Earth… which likely means more Aliens trying to make sense of our world. I was gifted with a copy of this book and chose to share my review.Good Short Story
5By Topmom52Any book with shifters from a different planet is bound to have cultural and language misunderstandings. Even though Drake has been on earth for 2 years, he still mistakes Lori’s agreement to mate with him. I enjoyed reading this one. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.Great read
5By Mflora48I’m really enjoying reading this authors books I know I’m in for an entertaining read. The storyline draws you in and keeps you there. The characters captivate you and you can almost see it playing out as you read. I’m so looking forward to reading the next book I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.I love this!
5By JoJo TeodoroStranded with the Cajun is the third book in the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter by Michelle M. Pillow. This is a time when the Draig of the Quirilixan did not have the Galaxy Brides yet and was using a portal to Earth to potentially find brides. At the time, they were not aware of how Earth has changed so they were wary about sending men through the portal. Drake has longed for a mate for a long time, so he has decided to make the biggest decision of his life. He snuck through the portal to Earth in hopes of finding a bride. He lands in New Orleans, Louisiana where he finally moves to the swamplands because it was the closest thing to home. Lori is a travel journalist on a trip in Louisiana for a cover story. She was on a trip in the bayou when her tour guide suddenly dies. Luckily, she is saved by Drake. I absolutely love the Dragon series and I am so happy to read more books about it. This was fantastic and I absolutely enjoyed it! Michelle, you always blow my mind! I can't wait for more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Short stories are fun
5By Poet817Short about Draig commoners going to earth to find a mate. Drake senses first that they are mates. It takes Lori a bit longer to realize they are meant to be. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Fun with Dragons
5By DD1126Drake has found a place where he can let his dragon out, the bayous of Louisiana. Unfortunately some sightings lead to publicity. Lori ventures out for some photos and ends up being rescued by the subject of her quest. Great entry into this series! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.This story feels so much bigger than it’s page count
5By ContessajjI laughed so much reading this tale. One of my favorite species a Draig comes to present day New Orleans and is adopted as a Cajun. Of course fate throws his mate in his path at a strange moment, and Lori doesn’t know what to think about this strange man but she likes him. Loved the ending and can’t wait to read more of these fish out of water stories. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Amazing read
5By Adrian7619I do not know how Michelle M. Pillow comes up with these ideas. The way the people of the bayou banded to protect Drake from being discovered was awesome. Love how Drake saved Lori then she saved him. Love how they said he wasn’t there and came up with a way that the hunters died. Love the family he built even if they weren’t blood.
