Stonefire Dragons Book 17: Claimed by the Dragon by Jessie Donovan

Stonefire Dragons Book 17

Soon after Grace Butler is rescued from a dragon hunter prison, she’s taken to Clan Stonefire for protection and given two choices—leave her babies with the dragon-shifters forever or mate a dragonman to stay. Unwilling to abandon her children, she accepts an unexpected proposal from Dr. Trahern Lewis. The Welsh dragonman is a bit aloof, rarely meets her eyes, and keeps mostly to himself. However, after talking with him and setting boundaries, she becomes his mate. But as she gets to know him, she foolishly wishes for more than a mating in name only.

Dr. Trahern Lewis likes his world ordered and relies on routine. However, for reasons he doesn’t fully understand, he offers to mate Grace and become an instant father. Despite his reservations, he starts to want more from the human female, especially as she helps him get along better with his dragon. However, before he realizes he wants a mate in truth, he’s called away for research and is soon fighting for his life.

Can Grace lure Trahern back from the brink? Or, will his thirst for knowledge and research take him away from her forever?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

We are on book 17 in this series! Which is just wild to me and that doesn't even count the several other clans that have stories too. We are many, many books in this universe and they still have me hooked. We learn something new in each one. And I loved the new things I learned here! This story is about Grace and Trahern. Grace was held captive for months by dragon hunters but was saved in time to give birth to twins. But that didn't erase the horrors she had to endure. But since she is human she has a decision to make. Give up her children or accept a very unexpected proposal from Trahern. She won't give them up, so she will mate with Trahern. But she never expects to fall for him along the way. Trahern knows he is different from other dragonshifters. His childhood was anything but good. It's turned him away from others and the ability not to be able to read other people or understand emotions very well. His relationship with his dragon has also never been strong due to a lot of reasons. But he won't abandon Grace. He wants to help. And along the way he will learn more about himself than he knew. And maybe find a way to achieve a happiness he never thought would be possible for himself. I adored this story! These characters are so different than what we've seen and we learn quite a lot more about dragonshifters. I was hooked and just so engrossed in Grace's and Tahren's backgrounds and wanted to learn more and hope these two realize what kind of love they could have together if they give it a chance. Another great book in this series! And as always I can't wait for more.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
