Even immortal dragons can have crazy exes.Belah’s ex is worse than most. Three thousand years ago, she and her old lover took their kinks just a step too far, and she’s been trying to get over it ever since. The problem is that her ex is still out there wreaking havoc on her world, while Belah spent the last three millennia in hiding.With her race’s world changing, it’s time for Belah to show her … time for Belah to show her face again. Finding a new mate should be easy for a dragon as powerful as her, but “baggage” is an understatement when your ex is your race’s mortal enemy.
Belah finds Lukas and Iszak North—not one, but two gorgeous, musically talented, and especially kinky brothers from one of the dragons’ sister races. The pair are perfect for Belah. Their race of falcon shifters mate for life—one look at Belah, and both North brothers know she’s their One. The problem is they have baggage of their own, and Belah’s ex is at the center of it.
When Belah’s old lover decides he wants her back, she and her new mates learn there is more at stake than love, and fancy knots and an adeptly wielded whip might not be enough to find true happiness.
Author’s Note: This book is the first in a long series. It is only the beginning of the story for Belah and her siblings, and thus only has a “happy for now” ending. While it does not end in a true cliffhanger, it is also not a stand-alone story, but the beginning of the six immortal dragons’ epic search for their fated mates, and Belah Blue’s journey back to her first true love.

Very slow moving. Found myself turning pages without reading.
I’ve never really considered myself a fan of paranormal/fantasy reads until the day I found Ophelia Bell’s dragons…since that day I’ve devoured everything she writes.
Dragon Blues is technically a re-release, extended and enhanced version of her first book in this spin off series about the Immortal Dragon siblings, which you are introduced to in her original series, Sleeping Dragons and then Rising Dragons. These stories are definitely hot and steamy, but they are so intricate and compelling, I find myself transported to a world that’s exciting and intriguing. I forget sometimes that it’s a fantasy and wish I could live there, just to experience these awe inspiring beings. And not just the dragons!
There’s darkness and evil and danger for the hunted, while the hunters are surrounded by pain and desperation and the ugly lust for blood and revenge. But…is anything ever that straightforward?
I am honored to be a part of Ophelia’s ARC team and was provided with a copy of Dragon Blues in exchange for an honest review, but I can assure you I would read each and every installment of her books regardless. If this review convinces you to enter Bell’s dragon world, you won’t have to go all the way back to the beginning to enjoy the Immortal Dragon series (although, I think you should because they’re fabulous too, and you will meet some very interesting characters) but you should read Dragon Betrayed first. It is the prequel and will give you the insight into how the evil is born.
I’m so anxious to see where this series goes and how the stories for each of these Immortals unfolds, I’m captivated and I’m enjoying my escape. So many little intricacies, so many little surprise moments, so many hold your breath scares, beautiful broken souls, and hot, sexy alpha dragons…yep, doesn’t get much better than that…who knew, right?!
