Dragon Isle (Collection: Books 7-9)

This is the third boxset in the Dragon Isle series and contains the books Cowboy Dragon; Dark Heart of the Dragon; and Once Upon a Dragon. The first book brings a dragon shifter called Colton, who was happy working on his ranch in Colorado, back to the island, where he had spent his summers with his grandparents growing up. His father had died young and his mother and stepdad were human, so the only exposure to dragons and shifting came from his summer visits. His father being killed by human poachers didn’t make them happy to see him spending most of his time in the human world and dating human women. His old friend Anthony has asked for his help to do some remodelling, so he is returning to the island, for a few days. When he gets on the motorboat, he finds a human female called Holly hiding under a tarp. She is desperate to get to the island to warn Emerson about some poachers. She is only a tiny thing, and has suffered more abuse than she should have during her childhood and covers up by being loud and forceful. She was hurt by a big man and is usually scared around them, but not around Colton. She has come to tell them of news about Robin Barker of the Deragon, the poacher group and some experiments they are running. They plan to raid the island during an evening gala when everyone is distracted and Holly had to warn them. She and Colton seem to have an instant connection and while she won’t disclose why she needs to get to the island so urgently, she does feel safe with him.

The second book has Renee, the resident Dragon Domme at The Dungeon, meeting Dean, who has been asked to teach some classes at The Dungeon by Anthony. Dean is also a Dom and was only supposed to teach one class, but now has a whole series of lessons and classes to do, so he could be sticking around for longer than expected. He is allowed into The Dungeon before opening hours, to check everything out ready for his class and to prepare anything needed. He spots Renee doing a setup for her and stays in the shadows watching her. She is running through her set up for a performance the next night with a new submissive partner, Ava. She gets herself quite worked up and so does he watching her, thinking she doesn’t know he is there. That is until she calls him out at the end and tells him where the cleaning materials are to clean up after himself! He has been in a dark place since his divorce and not been interested in a serious relationship, finding enough fun in sex clubs and with his subs. Renee is a Domme with women, but finds she prefers a Sub position with the right man, not having had much experience with men, so she is what’s called a Switch, needing to play both roles to be happy. They are quick to hook up and it is Dean who quickly realises that his dragon needs her more than he realised. Maybe Dragon Isle is the place for him!

The third book finally brings us Liam’s story. It takes place some ten years after Willie was killed, the man who set him on the correct path all those years ago and took him under his wing, teaching him about boats and caring for the dragons, before leaving the job of harbourmaster and everything he owned, all to him upon his death. He has been guarding the dragons and their island for over ten years now, but something is missing. He is tired, so tired, of doing the same thing day in and day out. He wants someone there for him, like his sister has, and so many of the others he knows and sees on the island. A knock on his houseboat Cadence, in the middle of a rainstorm, brings a stranger to his door. The woman looks like an angel to him and when she asks about Willie, he knows that this is Willie’s daughter Cadence, who left years ago when her parents got divorced. When Willie died, Liam did all he could to locate her, but with no joy. But it seems, one of those he contacted, was lying to him and knew exactly where she was! She has come to find out who she really is and Willie was the only one that could have told her that and now he is gone. Turns out she was adopted and her birth mother is still alive and living on Dragon Isle! Cadence never knew she was a dragon shifter, only having her skin change colour when she was younger, just as her adopted mother took her away from Willie and the life she knew. With her birth mother and Liam’s help, maybe she can shift into her true form for the first time ever! Another trio of love stories between dragon shifters and humans. Loved Liam’s story, which is much tamer compared to any of the others and is more concerned with finding your one true mate. A series of a dragon sanctuary and the human man who has spent years living with the dragons and protecting their island and way of life. A lonely but important life that is now made more meaningful with his mate, and all those before him who found theirs in the previous stories. A different look at dragon shifters, the problems and dangers they face and their love lives, with the need to let loose ad not be judged! I received an ARC copy of this boxset from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the books above.

Three more tales about the dragon island shifters finding their mates. Suspense as someone is trying to get to the dragon children on the island, a woman learns her real ancestry when she meets her mother on the island, and who will be the real dom in this relationship? Surprises and twists to all the storylines keeps the pages turning. Romance is through the roof and the endings are so perfect.

I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Cowboy Dragon: I do love the way the Dragons fall in love so quickly. Or recognize their other half. I think the way the men listened to Holly was great, and they believed her too.
Dark Heart of the Dragon: Very, very sweet. I liked the story. It shows that BDSM is caring and giving. Talking and getting to know what your partner needs and wants helps them see to their partner. I like the way that shows they care.
Once Upon a Dragon: It is like a Fairy Tale. Short, sweet and happily ever after. It’s awesome.

Sophie Stern has written a 5-star 3 book box set. This boxed set is about the relationships between Shifters and their mates. In each book, the shifter has to deal with problems just to with their mate. In the first book Cowboy Dragon, Colton takes Holly to Dragon Isle so she can tell Emerson about an attack on the island to get some of their children. Can Holly make it to the island in time to stop the attack? In Book 2, it is about 2 shifters who are both dominant and one is a switch, and they both play in the BDSM Club The dungeon. Can these 2 give each other what they need? In Book 3, Liam is a little lonely and thinking he would like to have someone to share his life with. Cadence comes home to talk with her adoptive father only to find he had passed away 10-years before. Liam knows who she is and he tells her he will help her and tell her everything he can about who and what she is. He takes her to Dragon Isle to meet her birth mother so she can get some answers from her. Liam feels a connection to Cadence, all he wants is to keep her happy and safe.
Each of these books ends with a HEA. I would recommend this box set to anyone.
