Stonefire Dragons Book 14: Trusting the Dragon by Jessie Donovan

Trusting the Dragon (Stonefire British Dragons, #11)
Stonefire Dragons Book 14

Finally divorced and free of her bastard ex-husband, Sarah MacKintosh Carter looks forward to living with the Scottish dragon clan and attempting a normal life. However, a letter arrives and says she has thirty days to mate a dragon-shifter, or she has to return to a human city. If she leaves, she knows her former in-laws will be determined to take custody of her sons. So the countdown begins on finding a dragonman to mate her. There’s just one rule: no falling in love so she can protect her heart.

Hudson Wells hasn’t stopped thinking about the female he met by chance two years ago—she’s the only one he’s wanted in his life and his bed since the loss of his late mate. When the chance comes to claim Sarah as his own, Hudson puts his name forth to be her mate. Now he just needs to convince her to pick him. Despite the fact she’s divorced, Hudson soon discovers that Sarah was neglected, so he makes it his job to prove how desirable she really is. 

As Hudson does his best to persuade Sarah of how they’re combustible together in bed and a good team as parents out of it, her past comes back to haunt her. Not only does it threaten one of her sons, but it could also end up destroying the future she now yearns for with Hudson. Will she find a way to seize a happy ending for once? Or will Sarah end up losing everything she cares about?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I love going back to Stonefire! How can anyone not? And this story packed so much in it! Our dragonman is Hudson. Hudson lost his mate a few years back and has been on his own taking care of his son, Elliot. And for those who have been with the series this long, you'll remember his mate, Charlie. She was a Protector who died early on in the series. Now Hudson gets a second chance at having a mate. Sarah we have met recently. She is the sister of Lachlan who married a dragonwoman at Lochguard. Sarah has not had an easy life. She has finally escaped an abusive marriage and is hoping to have a safe place to live with her two young sons. But after a year at Lochguard, her ex in-laws are threatening to take her sons from her. Her only hope is to marry a dragonman and become a permanent resident at Lochguard or Stonefire. In an attempt to help her, the clan leaders suggest some dragonshifters who may be a good match for her. Even it is as simple as a marriage of convenience. What she doesn't expect is to be paired to Hudson. A man she has met two years before by chance. And Hudson certainly remembers her. She was the first female to draw his attention after losing his mate. Though back then their encounter was brief and Sarah was married. But he hasn't forgotten her. And perhaps this is their chance to discover if there is truly something between them. Loved this story! We had two great characters who have had it pretty rough but together learn to believe in fresh starts and second chances. Not to mention the action when it comes to those who are stilling hunting dragons. This is a great addition to the series and with more characters introduced, I'm excited to who's story we are getting next! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
