⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've loved this series right from the beginning but this one was the cherry on top. I'm sad that it's the end but I'm sure this author will give us new characters and places to love. I was hooked and in tears from the first chapter to the last, sad tears, happy tears and heart wrenching tears. Oh my goodness this story had all the feels. This town is the place where you'd want to live, the characters are wonderful. Ms Sala just brought it to life, a visual delight in my mind. Young Carlie's story will have you teary all the way and there is also a second chance romance happening, both lots of characters weaving throughout the book. Sharon Sala I thank you for the entertainment and joy from this series and especially this finale. I've read your tales for years and can't wait to see what is next.

Dragon in the Dark: Kindred Tales 43

 by Evangeline Anderson

5 stars

Drake is our Monstrum Kindred in this story. He is a dragon in almost human form. Scales, horns and breathes fire. Dr Washington is a human, she's a botanist come to study and hopefully heal the plants that hold together the Monstrum Mothership. Thrown together on a secret mission to another planet, he must protect her with his life.
When I saw how long this book I thought oh no will it hold my attention all the way. Well it did that and more, time flew as I invested myself in this world and it's characters. There are not many books where I've been unaware of my train stops and I was inches from not getting off at my stop as I was so engrossed in this fantasy.
It's a fun series, naughty, corny and everything spicy that would make me select it.

A Drake warrior brooding in the Dark
A woman whose unique powers are just coming to Light
Can they survive the dangers of a hostile planet together?
Find out in…
Dragon in the Dark

*This is a Plus length novel--115,000 words long*
Dr. Iyanna Washington has landed her dream job—as a botanist aboard the Monstrum Mother Ship she will be able to study as many fascinating alien plants as she could ever dream of. But she’s been warned to stay on the Light Side of the ship during her studies. The Dark Side hides Monstrum so big and powerful they would frighten any humans who happened to see them.

Dra’vik happens to be one of those that humans must not see. As a Drake Monstrum, he is nine feet tall with horns and scales—naturally he thinks humans would fear him. But when Iyanna gets lost on the Dark Side of the ship, he finds himself drawn to the curvy little Elite with the creamy brown skin. She’s both beautiful and brave and she doesn’t fear his immense size or “devilish” appearance.

When the two of them are sent on a secret mission where they must pretend to be Master and pleasure slave, they find themselves drawn even closer together. But danger is in the air. Iyanna has proven to have special abilities and unique talents that are priceless to someone who would be happy to steal her away from the big Drake. And even if Dra’vik manages to save her, there are other obstacles standing in the way of their happiness—specifically the fact that bonding with a Monstrum Drake causes instant pregnancy.

Can Dra’vik save Iyanna from the danger that threatens her life?
And will Iyanna be willing to bond with the big Drake, despite the unique consequences?
You’ll have to read Dragon in the Dark to find out.

Author's Note: the heroine gets into some pretty scary situations in this book which may make you uncomfortable if you are a survivor of assault. Anyone who has read my books knows that it all works out in the end, but I wanted to warn you just in case. Please read responsibly!

What a great read with easy to love characters.
Garrett is in mourning for his wife, it's been 2 years and he moves to their planned retirement home in a small town. His neighbour Ani is a fan and yet respectful, she has baggage of her own. As a small town the community look after each other, is he ready to come out of hiding and be part of the town?
Kylie does rock stars so well, even though it wasn't about touring it was real.
I enjoyed Garrett and Ani together, she wasn't part of that world and yet they could build a future.
Brilliant read, I hope there's more.

What chance does a small-town girl have with a world-famous rock star?

Two years after his wife’s death, rock star Garrett Hayes hasn’t moved on. But he has moved out of L.A. Where better to escape his past than a small town in the northern California mountains? If only he could get the townsfolk of Wildwood to leave him the hell alone.

Ani Bennet returned to her hometown for some much-needed serenity. The last thing she needs is a grumpy, too hot for his own good, rich and famous rock star living next door—and rent-free in her brain.

She set her fangirl tendencies aside and deleted his photo from her cell when they became neighbors. But when Garrett asks for help, she can’t say no. The problem is, spending time together is making those fangirl feelings resurface—and bringing them to a whole new level.

What chance does a small-town girl have with world-famous rock star? It’s time for Ani to set her fears aside and find out.
