World Wide Web…..
Zach Quant was raised to be leader of the Elysian for a reason. He was raised to feel no emotion always to have an analytical answer to everything around him, after all he is what feeds the Sian Web.
After Mira broke into his home having escaped the clutches of his evil half brother Tibor, Zach swore to help her get over and control any future rape of her physic plane by training her. What he hadn’t counted on was the sassy and feisty Mira to get under his skin the way she did. What were these strange feelings she was evoking in him the emotionless, stoic leader of the Elysian?
Mira was flabbergasted from the moment she laid eyes on the imposing Elysian leader although she had just escaped the mind rape his half brother tried on her. She is determined to cut through the ice in his veins she is determined to possess him, her absent beast wants him, only she feels it’s something besides her dragon that resides within her now.
Will Mira bring down the self imposed walls the Elysian leader has built around himself, or will she destroy him in the process?
I love tales involving shifters. I’ve had a weakness for dragons since I was a little girl (much more than for unicorns – no comparison), and have been fascinated by phoenixes ever since Harry Potter. So along comes Laxmi Hariharan’s Ascension (Dragon Protectors Book 6), a novel describes as a paranormal romance with “Dragon Shifters, Phoenix Shifters and Immortals” by an author I know is a truly skilled storyteller. I’m so there. Mira and Zach’s story is indeed as wonderful as I expected with a great plot and strong cast of characters. Totally satisfying. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.
In addition to off-the-charts sexual tension, this story is chock-full of heart-pounding, non-stop action and visceral, relatable characters. Some of the words that come to mind when I think of this story include emotional, gripping, intense, and evocative.
Ms. Hariharan has written one of her best books, I might even say her best overall. She employs a variety of descriptive phrases throughout, adding color and vividness to the story. I would definitely recommend this one.
Was waiting for Zach story for so long! To finally see him ruffled and unbalanced. Was quite the picture. They balanced each other. And lifted the other up to née heights of power. Of course they did the song and dance of being attracted to one another but denying it to either preserve his control or protect her heart. Then it was the danger of mating. Loved the twists and turns. Poor Vance. And poor Serena. It’s like everything is against those two. Seriously Caleb and indira need their own book!! Or at least an epilogue and something where they are finally together. Zach and Mira are so hot together when they play, fight or get steamy. They know just what buttons to push.
This author always delivers gripping suspense, fantastic chemistry and well developed characters that are interesting and engaging. The characters are developed and easy to like. The plot was interesting and not one I have come across before. The book is really well written with great main and supporting characters. The book is packed with chemistry, suspense, hot-headed individuals and fantastic surprises! This Author did another fantastic job with this book and I would highly recommend this to all.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Mira and Zach are both damaged but are drawn to each other. They are really great characters and even though both have baggage from the past, together they’ll find a better way. Starts with a bang and doesn’t let up until the end. Dynamic characters and a well plotted and presented story line keep the book moving along at a great pace. There are some dark parts, tons of emotion and adventure. This is the 6th? Book in the series but it works fine as a stand-alone. Fun, fast read. Highly recommended. (You should also pick up the other books in the series).
I loved the story of Zach and Mira. Both are emotionally damaged and fight their attraction, but when they work together to save a shifter against a common enemy their mating Bond is what saves them.
This sixth installment of the Dragon Protectors series features Mira and Zach. Zach is the Elysian leader, and as an Elysian he is more calculating and logical than emotional. Mira is a dragon shifter who was tortured by Igor the Dark Fae Lord and as a result she is unable to shift. However she feels something inside as if her dragon is changing within. The intense attraction between Mira and Zach is more than palpable, yet neither wants to openly acknowledge that there is more to their connection. Sparks start to fly between them, as they embark on a mission to save a fellow shifter (Serena) and before they know it they are falling hard for each other and bonding in ways unimaginable. As is always the case, when danger looms and threatens their lives, they rise to the occasion and see in each other their fated mate. Zach struggles to understand his emotions as they are being overwhelmed by the Sian web, the Elysian network that is being flooded with emotions from recent changes to the mating occurring between Elysians and shifters. Mira is struggling with her dragon unable to awaken her inner dragoness but something starts to stir and we are pleasantly surprised with a new type of shifter. Will both of these tortured souls overcome their individual pains and come together as one, or will they fall victims to the darkness? This was a fast paced passion filled book. I can’t wait for the next one!
I love this book the storyline is great and well written I love the way it is written one dragon shifter was tortured on the physical plane that tortured her dragon from coming out until she she got really mad at an elesisy who she thought was her mate he left her to keep her safe and she didn’t like that
This is the sixth book in the series, but you don’t have to read them in order. I recommend it, though. Mira was held captive by Tibor, the leader of the Elysian Rebels.. Zach has been training her, so she can overcome her fears and defend herself. Both Mira and Zach are attracted to each other, but try to hide their feelings.Mira is a dragon shifter but has been having problems shifting. Serena, a lioness shifter is kidnapped by Igor, the Dark Fae Lord and is being tortured. Caleb, a wolf shifter and Zach sneak off to rescue Serena and leave Mira behind, which angers her. Does she follow them? Can they rescue Serena and return to their land? Read this awesome book and find out the answers to these questions and more.
Read to feel all the emotional tension between Mira and Zach. Mira is so attracted to Zach that the tension is unbearable especially because he barely notices her. He is her protector was training her to regain her psychic power. Now they were on a mission together to find Serena. They find Serena only to also discover the evil Igor, The Dark Fae Lord. He has used his psychic powers to break Serena and is now trying to use his evil powers against Mira and Zach. Follow the adventure of Mira and Zach to find out if they can find Serena after Igor steals her away and to see if they can reconcile their true feelings for each other.
this book is well written and offers well developed characters. The story of Zach and Mira is one of my favorites so far in this series. Their romance is not an easy one and each has to learn, Zach emotions, Mira letting her beast out. The mating bond. I enjoyed reading it.
Struggling with raw emotions Zach was on edge, reaching his limit and fighting for control. Mira had doubts about herself, her feelings and her dragon. The strong attraction between them was it only lust of there was more? Would they walk the path to healing together? Intense emotions, darkness, intriguing characters, suspense, secrets, violence and passion. Liked how the author crafted Mira’s and Zach characters with mystery and an interesting twist that kept me intrigued following the action. Good their insight and inner struggling narrations that felt real and with substance. Enjoyed the plot development of Mira and Zach’s story, strong, powerful and both holding secrets.
It is well written and offers well developed characters. The romance is not an easy one and the struggles faced are very difficult for them to overcome. I enjoyed reading it.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.
This is a story of two people who come together to survive very horrible pasts. This is a great journey, like life has many rough patches. These two make it through and this story makes for a great read. I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.
What a wonderful picture that Laxmi has painted in this paranormal love story between 2 different people falling in love, trying to fight it to protect each other and fighting the evilness wanting to take over. Looking forward to more.
The power of emotions is limitless.
Zach, the leader of Elysians, has known only the cold vastness of Sian web for years. With his senses subdued, he perfected his analytical, logical self to a perfect statue – until shifter emotions flooded his mind to a breaking point. Or…until a fierce dragon shifter crossed his path. Mira, one of the victims of Tibor’s attacks, came to the breaking point and returned, but with altered beast within, afraid to let go of her fears and become one with her beast again. Now when these two are united on a quest to save Serena, the lioness, the long suppressed emotions go haywire until all explodes. Pushed hard by the Dark Fae lord and the race for lives, Mira and Zach have to open up to each other in more intimate ways than either one expected, changing the other one irreversibly.
Passionate and fiery. Just like shifters. So is this story.
How hard can deep feelings, desires, and lust, hit the wall of logic and control? Would it be hard enough to crack the shell?
Mira can never be sure. Not of herself, not of Zach. Not trusting her heart, she goes hot and cold at her mate, pushing him to analyze his own feelings. Yet their own fears lead them to dangers, and the only way out is to open the gates and let it all out. Free the inner beast, both in metaphorical and literal sense.
This book is so damn hot. Dangerous. Maddening. Sensory overload, firing deep into the reader’s heart. Mira and Zach pull the attention fully on them, making the events playing in the background miniature compared to their mating dance.
And what a dance it is.
Read for yourself.
