This is a great book that is hard to put down. There are light and dark fae, dragons, kraken and demons galore. I hated to see it end. I received this book as an advance reader.
Set in a world composed of angels, hell creatures, fae, dragons all combined, this story contains lot of action, heat and romance. Since many stories and backgrounds are introduced, there are spots of story that feels little disjointed; however, enough interesting pieces of storyline will keep you motivated to read until the end. A good beginning of a series.
Ok I’m addicted. I need to know if Darius gets a HEA? Does Elfie ever talk to Saul? Does Saul ever accept who he is? I desperately need book two!! If you like some suspence and drama with your paranormal romance then this book is for you!
Wow. This Book is Fantastic. This book grabs you right from the start. I love Ruben s tenacity it’s fantastic. And Allura is fantastic as well the Author has brought these Characters out so well along with the rest of the cast if characters, but those two are my favorite. Ruben is a high level mage of the Dark Fae. Allura belongs to the light fae. They half to know how to battle the Kraken. This is a fast paced read. That the Author has totally hit a home run on. This is definitely a *Must Read* I definitely recommend this read.

I have to really recommend this book. It is original containing magical beings that I, myself, had never heard of. The author builds the characters and the story masterfully putting you right in the middle, turning pages as fast as you can. Allura and Rueben are part of a team of light and dark fae sent to find out whats happening on the shores of the ocean at various places. Human remains, maimed and fed upon are being found. What the couple did not count on is the fire between them. This story is full of light and dark fae, dragons, warlocks, mythical gods and much more! I personally can’t wait to read the next book!!
A new author for me…. brings a new twist to the dragon and fae of old. Great world building and an awesome story. Ruben is a force to be reckoned with and Allura is his fated match…. off to the next book! Read review
I love dragon shifter books and this one didnt disappoint either. The characters are sarcastic and funny, there’s action, forbidden love, and romance scenes as well. I was completely sucked into this book and fell in love with it. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Loved this book. It was a great into to this world. Allura thinks she is too old to find her fated mate. Ruben thinks his mother abandoned him. They are both on opposite sides of the fae so there should be no attraction. See how they fall in love. There is so much action, love, passion, in this book. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Wow this book is packed full of action, romance, danger, spies, lies, and magic. I must caution it is not a light read. There’s death and mayhem as Allura and Reuben are caught up in the hunt to stop the kraken from slaughtering innocent people. At the same time danger lurks at home. Thoroughly enjoyed the mix of different mythologies with new elements thrown in. There is some adult content, but it’s not super graphic and doesn’t take over the story. Can’t wait to read the next book.
Many PNR books speak of Gaia, but this my first experience with a race of Gaian’s. I enjoyed the premise of this race, the world around them and their role in it. Ruben and Allura have their work cut out for them.
I haven’t read this author before but I have to say I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters and it was really engaging and I was intrigued from the get go. That doesnt always happen. I couldnt put it down. I loved Allura and Ruban oh boy I loved that chemistry. Off the charts. Saul and Darius and Elfrieda are notable characters among others. I like how we have multiple species in this world and how they all connect. This is just book one! I cant wait to read more.
4 out of 5 stars
When the goddess Gaia created the earth she gave us the most beautiful of all creatures the magical kind . We have the seelie and the unseelie courts in the fae world . When the relationships between clans are prohibited but when you want something you will do anything to get that forbidden fruit . When Ruben a mage for the dark fae meets Allura who is part of the light fae . The attraction is undeniable and he will do anything to claim her Will Ruben be able to claim her just as his dragon has done or will they be burned as the dragons rise to protect the earth from the evil that is coming
The characters in this book are actually kind of fascinating . We enter a new universe full of Greek and Roman Gods . We also get to meet Ruben and his mate Allura . Oh my what can i say about Ruben, well he is sarcastic no holds barred hero who will do almost anything to will get his fated mate come crook or by hook . I must say i really liked Ruben he is rough and gruff and honestly doesn’t take no for an answer . Allura is well lets say she is kind of like Ruben but she is light fae . They are such a strong set of characters that really balance each other out . I really like them together as a couple, even though Allura seems to fight Ruben the whole way . There are so many other characters in this story that help them out on their quest .
When I sat down to read this story I was like I am not sure what I am getting myself into .I started reading and was pleasantly surprised, the story is fast paced and had me turning pages really fast . The characters were well written and the story moved along nicely . Then the twists and turns start and you start going whoa when did that happen and wow how are they going to get out of this one . I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed this story. So if you want a fun read check it out and add it to your summer reading list
Be prepared for a ride thru time , where there is good , bad, Gods and Goddesses, Fae, Dragons, Demons and more. Enemies learn that their mates are either good or bad. This author is is fantastic and the reader is spellbound during the entire book. I’m ready for #2 book
Ruben is a dark fae. Allura is a light fae. The two shouldn’t mix, but as soon as Ruben lays eyes on her, he must have her. She is his mate. When their dragons emerge to protect the Earth, can their passion be realized?
Dragons, kraken, demons, Angel’s, archangels, and princes of Hell all combined to create a fascinating story of finding oneself. It has it all. There are twists and turns, romance, betrayal, and redemption. I can’t wait to read the second
Wow! Where do I start? Nothing in the blurb had prepared me for this highly addictive story! The author has managed to combine various aspects of mythology to create a unique new world, where ancient gods, faeries, demons and mythical beasts co-exist and battle for dominion of the present day earth. There are references to hollow earth, the underworld, the Seelie and Unseelie courts, and of course fated mates, all tightly interwoven in an action-packed plotline, full of twists, mystery, romance, steamy encounters as well as references to prejudice for those “different” who don’t fit the criteria set for the members of each society. The character development was excellent, to the point that I felt as if I knew them personally. A mindblowing first book in a series, that has left me anticipating for the next one.

Dragons of Destiny is book one in C.R. Robertson’s The Gaian Otherworld series. This is a fantastic paranormal/fantasy romance novel. The balance of the world is shifting and things are changing. Danger is coming and destruction is at hand. Light and dark fae aren’t meant to mix, but love knows no restraint as is told in this story. Allura is a light fae, but she’s more than that. When she crosses paths with Ruben her life changes. It is initially just meant to be them working together to hunt down a monster who has broken free of its prison, but Fate has determined that they are meant to be together.
Dragons of Destiny is a wonderfully written story of “star-crossed” lovers. Allura is deemed too old by her people to have a mate, so when she discovers that Ruben is hers she doesn’t dare hope that it can last. But they have other problems as well. Krakens. One has broken free from its prison and they all know how the Krakens survive…devouring innocent humans. The backstory/creation of the world story that the author gives the reader, in the beginning, hooked me and I was eager for more. Allura and Ruben’s story is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. The romance is balanced with the danger that they face from within and without. I have to admit that I truly enjoyed the twists and surprises that the author throws into the story.
There isn’t much that I don’t like about this story. The characters are well done. I enjoy the twists and unexpected moments throughout. I’m looking forward to reading the next phase of this story and to see what happens next.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is a well-done story, sweeping romance, secrets, surprises, and edge of your seat drama.
The first book in this author’s newest series and a definite must read for dragon shifter lovers and paranormal romance fans. A fantastic tale of magic and mystery, of the centurys of enmity between the light and the dark fae, of the centuries gone by with no fated dragon matings nor the birth of any dragon hatchlings. Allura is light Fae and Reuben is dark and they have a story to tell and a fated love to survive. Can’t wait for Darius and Evanora’s story to come out. That will be another really good story.
