Stonefire Dragons Book 16: Charming the Dragon by Jessie Donovan

 

Stonefire Dragons Book 16

A grumpy dragonman and a flighty but brilliant human female lawyer end up locked together in a secret room...

Hayley Beckett’s sister desperately needs a shot of dragon’s blood to save her life. She’s a lawyer who helps dragon-shifters and refuses to buy it on the black market, nor can she join the sacrifice program because of the importance of her job. However, after helping Clan Stonefire with a recent case, she hatches a plan. In exchange for her help in creating a more centralized law and case database for the dragon-shifters, they’ll give her sister the much needed treatment. What she didn’t plan on was being paired with a grumpy yet sexy dragonman who sees everything she does as a nuisance.

Nathan Woodhouse is used to dealing with the alpha Protectors on Stonefire. He does his job, they leave him alone. It’s perfect. Then the clan leader and head of security assign him a job to design a legal database for a human female. He’d much prefer working alone and communicating through email, but she insists on working inside the clan because it gives her access to their records. When she accidentally triggers an old mechanism that locks them in a rarely used area of the clan, he can’t ignore her. And then his dragon decides he wants her.

As they tackle their project and the mishaps along the way, word gets out of what they’re doing and a familiar enemy causes some trouble. Will Nathan and Hayley be able to admit their feelings and be together? Or, will Hayley have to flee Stonefire and possibly the UK for her safety?

The release date is set for July but this book may release as early as May. Also, the blurb is subject to change.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Hayley's passion for law and for helping others has led her to many great accomplishments. Including helping some dragonshifters at Clan Stonefire. And it's because of her success in helping the clan, that gives her the courage to ask for a favor. One that she will repay by crating a case database for the dragonshifters to help them in future issues. In exchange, all she wants is a vial of dragon blood to help dying sister. Lucky for her, Clan Stonefire is kind and accepts her offer knowing that Hayley is good people. But when she arrives at Clan Stonefire she is met with a pretty grumpy dragon. No matter, she will prove to Nathan that she can get her job done and ignore that feeling of attraction for him. At least for a little while. Nathan prefers to work alone and isn't too fond of humans after a female broke his heart a few years ago after seeing his dragon eyes. But the minute Hayley arrives, she slowly breaks down the walls that he put around himself. And his dragon doesn't help the matter when he begins to insist that she could be his true mate. But everything changes for Nathan and Hayley when they accidentally lock themselves in the underground tunnel systems below Clan Stonefire. They'll have to work together to find a way out and in doing so, they may just see one another for who they truly are. I really loved Hayley and Nathan's story! They were a fun pair and matched one another perfectly. They respected the other and treated one another as equals, unlike some from their past relationships. I loved how they worked together and their chemistry was great! Another great addition to this series and with teases of other characters and future storylines. As usual, I can't wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
