I enjoyed this book so much I immediately bought the second book. There was a great build up of Kai”s character and how she raised her daughters and their individual strengths due to their Fae blood. But there came a time when Kai needed the Dragon Lord’s help to save her youngest daughter who was shot by an evil man. The Dragon Lord had a price – he wanted Kai as his wife and queen. Kai agrees and the fun begins as Maddugh knows Kai and her daughters must be tamed. Good luck! Plus they have to fight the man trying to take her youngest daughter and the men in charge of Maddugh’s mines. I think in the end Kai and Maddugh tame each other.
The first book in the Dragon, Stone & Steam series a well written story and I want to read the next book. This is a fun story to read I found myself laughing as I read Kailigh/Kai and Dragon Lord Maddugh, King of Coal and Mountain’s story, he sure was bossy” Because I said so!” I think if I had been her I would have slapped him.

This was an unusual read, it has all the elements of a good action filled romance as well as some paranormal elements thrown in.
Enjoyable read.

Kailigh’s 17-year-old daughter Cinvarra was limp and deadly pale from a flesh wound that would not heal. She had been shot by Ruthus Adjrius during an attempt to kidnap her. When the flesh traffickers had come, Kai and her daughters had waited to the last minute so they could sell their produce or they would not meet their budget. So they had waited longer than was safe before they ran. Now Doc said Cin’s blood was poisoned and they had no medicines to treat her. He suggested she go to Lord Maddugh because he could help her, despite her intense dislike of the man. The Dwyrkin Lord was her only option. But what he wants is her daughters with their magic for his people. And the shape shifter dragon king wants her to offer her own heart to him. Will these two stubborn people open their hearts to each other and make a new life together? Can the dragon lord save Cin’s life?
This was a wonderful paranormal shifter story with a good story line and great characters. Kai was stubborn and annoying at times, but she was a strong single mother who loved her daughters and was willing to so whatever she had to for them. Don’t miss this one!
I immediately was drawn in to the story and could not put it down. I was on the edge of my seat with the interaction and fights with the characters. I cannot wait to see if there will be more books with these characters.

This was my first time reading this author and what an awesome read!!! It’s a fast paced story full of suspense, non-stop action, and hot and steamy romance and lots of humor. There’s hot alpha dragons, shifters, action, adventure, danger, villains, mayhem, twists, turns, passion, romance and love. It’s a definite must for any fan and I cant wait to read more.

I was expecting the usual shifter romance but this was a very nice blend of shifter romance and post apocalyptic fantasy. The post apocalyptic part of this world is suggested in the conversation of various characters rather than directly described – very effective and makes that part of the story rather than the focus. That is a good thing because the main characters and the interaction among them (the shifter romance part) requires your attention and grabs it. My reading sure grabbed my attention. Such fun! While this book is about Mom’s romance, the hints about the other 3 developing relationships definitely wants me to get hold of the next book, and the next, and the next…..

Take No Prisoner
Loved it! This book had me laughing so hard I kept crying over Kai and her crazy daughters. These woman were fierce and stubborn. The dragon lord Maddugh and his sons were great counter parts for the women. Cant’ wait to read their stories.
Keep them coming Emma!!!
I have not been disappointed with any of the books by Ms. Alisyn she keeps a reader entertained and engaged with her characters.
Kailigh has had her hands full raising 3 daughters along in the Outlands. When the youngest is shot and dying from the wound, she has to swallow her pride and go ask the Dragon Lord Maddugh for help. He knows that Kai and her daughters have some magical blood in them and after healing the youngest, he demands his price.
I loved this and couldn’t put it down. Kia and Maddugh are verbally sparring/courting all the time. I want to know more about her daughters and his sons. Kia is so strong and stubborn, I can’t wait to see what happens next for these guys.
The Mountain King is a quick and enjoyable read. It has vivid imagery that grabbed and kept my attention. It has action, humor, and romance. Kailigh is a mother of three daughters, who is doing everything to keep them safe. Maddugh is a father of the sons, who yearns to break up the tediousness of his rule. When their paths cross, a bargain is struck. I adored the progression of their relationship. I also appreciated their interactions, which kept me smiling throughout. Definitely looking forward to the next book.
Loved this!
I didn’t have much time to read, but I thought I would just take a look at the book I had just bought….and then read the whole thing! The world building was subtle, the action easy to follow, the story exciting, the characters well developed, and the romance steamy. There was plenty of humor and wonderful dragons! The hero and heroine get their HEA and there isn’t a cliff hanger ending. I can’t wait for the other characters to have their stories told!
This story is fantastic and not to be passed by.
It takes place after a great war happens that opened a riff in our dimension pull powerful beings in to our world and trapping them here. The rich live in dome cities everyone else lives in the outlands. That where Kailigh raised her 3 amazingly gifted daughters. Normally no one crosses them but a flash trafficker named Ruthus wants her youngest and will stop at nothing to get her. In the last kiddanaping attempt the youngest Cinvarra was shot and she is dieing. One man/ dragon might be able to save her but at what price. Nothing is free.
Lord Maddugh is a powerful Dwyrkin with 3 grown sons of his own. His people will be dieing out soon if new blood isn’t found and added to his clan. When Kailigh shows up demanding his help his interest is stirred then he sees her daughters he knows why and that seals thier fate!
Wow I loved this new world Emma Alisyn created. This was an amazing story it’s like falling into a new universe. One you don’t want to leave. It’s got amazing characters, one hot dragon lord who is determined to get his lady, bad guys and more. Don’t miss out on this one I couldn’t stop reading! I can’t wait for the other book is the series to come out! I am hooked
Wow what a great start for this need series. Interesting and entertaining read with a apocalypse world add some paranormal activity to the mixes makes for a excited read. I can’t wait to see what going to happen now between Kia and Maddugh. There were some subtle hints that something happen to one of Kia daughter so I hope we get the answer to that in the next book. Also I wonder if any of Maddugh sons is going to hook up with any of Kia daughters that’s going to make for interesting read. I’ll be anxiously waiting for the next book series.
I have been reading a lot of paranormal romance lately, and I have been feeling burned out on them, but I decided to give this a try. I’m so glad I did! I couldn’t put this down. It was that good!
