This was . . . not to my taste. I found the worldbuilding to be incoherent, to the point where I had to double-check that this wasn't a later book in the series. Characters were thinly-drawn, and the dialogue needed a lot of work; nobody had a distinctive 'voice' and the characters often seemed to blur together. Without strong characters I couldn't care about the protagonist's fate, and the romance failed to gel. I had trouble keeping to the plot, which seemed to veer wildly around with little driving force behind it.

This read like a first draft, not a complete, polished novel.

This story just wasn’t for me, it jumped from one time to another and I just couldn’t keep up, the heroine Isola was not a favorite of mine either.

This was a fun, entertaining read! I really enjoyed it!! This was my first read from this author, and I definitely hope to read more of this author soon.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

OMFG why did I wait too read this book. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put my kindle down. Between curses and sexy dragons and trying to figure out who turned Isola’s world upside down, I was hooked. I’m dying to read book 2 because I need to know what’s going too happen next.

I wish I was Isola the woman had men surrrounding her, I loved Elias the most though, that man was such a tease, “really? Somehow, I doubt it, my naughty princess ,” he chuckles, brushing his naked chest against my body as he lifts my arm." I liked that Elias could admit when he's wrong, “I’m a d***hebag, and I’m sorry. I fancy you, alright? My dragon does, too, and he is flooding me with desire for you,” he says. “I’m not thinking straight right now.” I liked this book, and I can't wait to see where this series goes.

3.5 Stars

Well, I wasn't expecting that twist in the book! Now what I want to know is when will the next book be out? You can't leave me hanging this way. Hahahaha.

You had me at dragons, to be honest. Out of all the paranormal-fantasy creatures, dragons are my favorite. But aside from this being a book involving dragons, I reall,y really liked the world-setting. I liked Isola and her men. I really loved Bee. I want to see Isola get her HEA and I can't wait to find out what happens in book 2!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me an ARC of this book.

This is 290 pages of intrigue and everyone is out to win and rule over Dragca, but not as long as the princess, Isola, is alive. I loved the pace, the story (because dragons are my favorite mythical creatures) and where would this be without four different guys swooning over Isola?
It’s the first book in the Protected by Dragons series and what a great start to the story, because if this is how you get my attention, then I’m so hoping you keep it all through the remaining books! I can’t wait to see Isola take back what’s hers and restore order to their realm.
My favorite scene because I was definitely rooting for Elias and Isola :-), well, Dagan had me at “Kittycat” but that’s TMI for now, just get the book and read it.

“Eli,” I whisper.

“You need to rest, but that was real. That is what is between us: chemistry, magic, and f--- knows what else, but I want to find out…I’m done letting rules f--- with my mind when it comes to you, the rules of this damn curse.”

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC because how else would I get to read so many awesome books!

I enjoyed this book. I liked that it was different to other dragon stories I've read. There was a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. Definitely interested in finding out what happens next with these characters.
