Jessalyn Brown’s life has taken a turn to Crazy Town when she suddenly finds herself vomiting flames. Billionaire inventor and dragon shifter, Manu Taniwha has offered to help, but she can’t help but wonder what his angle is. With a mountain of debt, a daypack of possessions and huge fiery problems, Jessalyn reluctantly accepts but she’ll do it her way or she’ll take the highway.
The newest book in the Dragon Investigators series is a stunning read that is positively engaging so readers can’t put the story down, no matter what else is going on. The characters are bold, take charge and grab readers’ attention right from the start and readers can’t decide which hotter – the flames being spontaneously spewed by Jessalyn or the flames and heat that burn between Jessalyn and Manu. The relationship between these two only gets hotter as the story progresses because this is one relationship that Manu really has to work for because not only does he have to introduce Jessalyn to her new world, he has to earn her trust.
This fast paced plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with surprising twists, thrilling suspense, and adrenaline pumping excitement. The more that Jessalyn learns, the more exciting things get with betrayals, secrets, and dragon politics turning the Taniwha dragons’ scales upside down. Lots of challenges to be overcome and decisions to be made adds action, adventure and depth to this page turning and stunningly entertaining read.

This girl has been thrown the biggest loop of her life and the hits just keep coming until she finds her true self and her HEA. Make no mistakes, the road is long with many twists and turns but the author did a fantastic job of keeping me engaged throughout the entire journey. I look forward to the next book by this author.

A Gangbuster of a Dragon Shifter Ending
BLACK MOON DRAGON, Dragon Investigators #3, by author Shelley Munro is a marvelous conclusion to a terrific series. I know the author struggled but it paid off and now I want more Jessalyn, Manue, and their friends. And I suppose that is a good sign for an author…leave them wanting more.
The storyline is so rich with New Zealand mythology and romance set in modern times that I loved learning about another culture. I loved that this had a matriarchal feel with Jessalyn as the Guardian for all the tribes.
Speaking of characters, they were so dynamic! I loved Jess’s toddler dragon (as she was characterized). She couldn’t keep her mouth shut and it was like her Id had free range.
I definitely am recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure. Do not only read this book but the whole series.

Another great read, with lots of chemistry and hotness. This is a well written story and hooked me from the start.This is a quick hot read, with a interesting plot and fantastic characters, great emotion and Loads of steam!
I loved this story! Pretty much I loved everything. The characters were fun, the story had a nice blend of action, drama & romance with some comedic moments thrown in. As with all stories that I’ve come across from this author, this can be read as a standalone entry even though it is part of the Dragon Investigators series. It’s great to read a story from a New Zealand author & have the story be very much NZ based – from geography to folk lore to customs & beliefs. It’s so refreshing to read a story that isn’t just set in ‘generic town’. Loved the cheekiness of the characters & I have no problem picturing them when I read. Wonderful.
Four and a half stars. This is the third book in the series but it is not necessary to read the first two to enjoy this one. Jessalyn’s father has died unexpectedly and she finds he has left her a lot of debt. Then she starts breathing fire and her friend is acting strangely. Manu is now the leader of his tribe even if he doesn’t want to be and there are some who don’t support him. He meets Jessalyn when she starts a fire outside his warehouse. These two are wonderful characters who had me cheering them on throughout the book. This is my favorite of the three and I’m hoping for another?

I really enjoyed this book and characters. They were well developed and interesting. I really enjoyed learning some of the Maori mythology.
Black Moon Dragon by Shelley Munro is a story involving a wonderful melding of New Zealand Maori cultural beliefs with some great fictional fantasy. This book has a very specific world built around dragons and an in depth culture of how they came to be in New Zealand. This is the third stand alone book in the Dragon Investigators series and focuses on the romance that grows between Jessalyn and Manu after their initial meeting. The growing relationship of all these characters make this book take surprising and exciting turns. There are fun surprises, witty dialogue, and lots of sensual forays into the bedroom, that make this a sexy read that any romance reader will love. Black Moon Dragon is an enchanting paranormal romance.
the first of the series i have read and i got to say i loved it. love this author whos characters are diverse and fully developed. i am voluntarily reviewing an arc gifted by the author with no obligation
As I’ve not read the first two stories this is a real treat. I enjoyed this story very much. Jessalyn life goes topsy turvy when her father dies and she finds a Maori Pendent. After going to work Jessalyn feels sick and a spark of fire sets the shop she works in on fire. Manu find that there are random fires so he goes off and ends up finding Jesslyn. Manu will have to kill Jesslyn if she can’t control her fire but he also finds that she is his mate. What a dilemma. There are lots of twists and turns in their romance but we all know that if there is communication lots of that stuff is easily fixed. Ops, sorry that’s why we have this great story. I will go back and pick up the other books so I can follow the other couples in this story.

Manu Taniwha dragon shifter, life couldn’t get any worse could it he has had to execute his own mother as the leader of his clan as she has gone insane and she could hurt people Now there are reports of fires breaking out and it looks like there is another rogue dragon he will have to execute. Jessalyne’s life is also not working out the way she expected she is consumed by debt her father has recently dies and all she inherited from him was an old Maori pendant when she puts that pendant on though things begin to get weird she is shooting out sparks and starting fires. When Manu tracks her down he realises she is his mate will he have to kill her or can she learn to control her fire and they can have a future together, This is a great fun read and while it can be read as a standalone I would recommend the entire series in fact we get to meet Emma and Jack as well as Cassie and Hone from the first two books in this one
Vomiting flames…
This is the third book in the series. I suggest reading in order as past characters make appearances and it will help you to understand this “world”. Jessalyn has a problem. She has started to vomit flames…no, it wasn’t something she ate. Can she trust Manu to help her thru this or is his explanation of what’s happening a joke? Is this real or has she lost her grip on reality? One-click now to find the answers.

I haven’t read much by this author, but I’m binge reading this series and I’m loving it. My heart hurt for Manu after the last book. Jessalyn has no idea of her heritage and I was tickled when he found her starting a fire on his property. I loved the way he changed after that. She drug him out of his pity party and gave him more of a purpose. I swear I laughed through this whole book. Jess’s dragon is so dang funny. “Inside voice please!” She not only broadcasts to Manu, but everyone around. Cassie is a wonderful character (from Blood Moon Dragon) and her help was outstanding. This book had my emotions all over the place, but mostly laughing at Jess’ dragon. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Jessalyn life has turned upside down since her father’s passing. She thinks shes going crazy due to her throwing up fire. Manu just found his mate but she doesn’t know anything about her heritage. He is willing to stand by her side. Unfortunately the the more they learn the more danger comes at them. These two characters feed off each other and make quite a pair. Very good book.

Book three in the Dragon Investigators series, a well written book that I was not putting down until I finished reading it. Jessalyn’s and Manu’s story was one I enjoyed reading, these two have a lot to go through before they get their happy ending. I hope there are more books to come in this series.

Exciting, emotional, suspenseful, drama and a lot of twists and turns. You have a feisty, alpha female who isn’t afraid to kick butt. And then there is the hot, alpha male. Now you have a lot of things going on for these two along with their baggage that has to go. Really enjoyed reading this. I received a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
Jessalyn’s father has passed away suddenly of a heart attack and she is clearing out his belongings when she finds a hidden compartment in one of his draws. Inside she finds a wooden box crafted by her father and inside it is a Maori style pendent. She goes off to work but is feeling nauseated and a spark of fire sets the shop alight. Manu is a dragon shifter who is also grieving as his mom has gone insane and now he has now been marked as the leader by the tribal sword which he had to us on her. He finds out there have been fires starting and he tracks Jessalyn down. If she can’t control the fire he will need to execute her but he has a problem as he knows she is his mate. What will they do?
