Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.

Fifth Round by Arizona Tape and Laura Greenwood is a slow burn reverse harem paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Susan Greenway.
I absolutely love Arizona and Laura’s books! Their books usually leave me with a smile on my face. I really enjoyed the relationship between Lola and her four mates. I can’t wait to dive into the final book in the trilogy Fifth Flame.
Susan did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you love paranormal romances, reverse harems, or slow burn romances.
Another cute, short listen. Probably not something I’d come back to again, but it was an enjoyable listen. We get to see a bit more of their gaming life in this and they go on vacation. It was interesting to see another side of the characters.
Once again, I give the narrator 4/5. I am in the US, so UK narrators aren’t always easy to understand, but Susan does a great job! She’s pleasant to listen to and easy to understand. I also feel like she brings this socially awkward character and her fellow characters to life well. I’d definitely listen to her again!
I listened to the omnibus of this series and will be posting reviews for the individual books and for the overall one So I will say that I thought the storyline was great in this book. I enjoyed hearing about the different player types and special powers/weapons/moves they had and how the Renegades worked together to defeat everyone in their way. I thought some of the stuff with Esme was a little repetitive but I enjoyed the back and forth and Rachel getting to know more about herself (if its ever confirmed – one complaint, this was never answered in the series). I wished there was more exploring Barcelona but I thought overall it was a good follow-up to Fifth Soul. I loved getting to have more time with Todd since I think he was kinda left out a bit (his own dang fault since was against the bonding in the beginning). And enjoyed seeing the group as a whole become stronger. I kinda knew with these 2 authors they are not fans of bringing steam, they would rather have storyline. I just wish we could have gotten something, even if it was fade to black, but we got absolutely nothing besides light kissing (doesnt get better in book 3 either).
For the narration, I thought Susan improved her male voices but made Lola more whiny than I thought she would be. Also there were some mispronunciations (I took 6 years of Spanish which is why I noticed them, like paella). I think Rachel was a good representation, especially with her heritage coming into question. I thought Susan did a good job with some of the weird voices and nuances for Lola, really brought her to life.
Overall a good sequel, went right onto listening to book 3 so more reviews to follow. For each of these authors, this isn’t my favorite series (or cowritten either), but I did enjoy them. I did snort and giggle at some parts which was a nice change up from some of the serious books I have been listening to.
Audiobook Obsession Reviewer
I loved the book Fifth Round, which I read as part of Renegade Dragons: The Complete Trilogy by Laura Greenwood and Arizona Tape includes the following three books: Fifth Soul, Fifth Round, and Fifth Flame. This three book series is about a dragon named Lola who meets her dragon mates in the first book Fifth Soul, goes to a major gaming competition in Spain with all of her mates in Fifth Round, and in the third book in the series Fifth Flame, Lola fights to have her and her mates unique mating be accepted by the members of the fire dragons. This series is a wonderful three books that have an important moral to teach that everyone is not the same and that everyone should have the right to be who they are and love who they want. I loved reading every book in this series. They made for a sweet uplifting read that anyone who enjoys a reverse harem romance will love. Fifth Round is a wonderful reverse harem romance.
Having made it to the next round, our heroines and their team now must face new challenges.
This is book two in this paranormal F/F romance story. While it is not necessary to have read the previous story, it is recommended as it will provide background on the games and the characters..
The story is very well written and the reader drawn into the action pretty quickly. This book sees some more character development, which is fun to read. I really liked their individual personalities, as well as the chemistry between them and am looking forward to the next book.
Overall, this was a fun, short read, easily accomplished over a weekend. And I consider it time well spent.
Highly recommended.

They are a new team and they about to enter the biggest tournament which they hope to win. It will be their biggest battle they have had to face. The tasks are going to be hard. Can they finish the tests? See if they win

I felt parts of this were a bit childish, but I think it is because I’m not the overly jealous type. I enjoyed this in that is funny and light. I really enjoyed learning more about the histories of the Dragons and what not. I also like knowing that Lola’s mate is the special and unique one. It was nice to see a change of pace from the girl at the middle being unique and outcast, to the MC being the one protecting the unique one. Probably my favorite part.
The Renegades, the gamer team of Lola and her mates, has made it to the championship in Barcelona. Right away they knock heads with another mated team of fire dragons who are intent on winning the cash prize by hook or by crook. They seem to have no ethics and play on the insecurities of the newly mated Renegades, meaning they swerve into a bit of heavy partying. Lucky for them, 5th mate Rachel is here mainly for the famous architecture and manages to keep her mates from losing their heads entirely.
Will Lola, Martin, Hector and Todd pull themselves together and win by skill over skullduggery? What happens in the Temple of Dragons? Read and learn.
The amatory levels are suitable for Young Adults imo.
Lola and her four mates trump the gaming competition. The opposition they get from another team is more personal it seems. Great story.

This is book two of The Renegade Dragons series and it’s part of the Twin Souls Universe. If you have read the first book then you know Lola a dragon shifter who has three fated mates and her best friend Rachel who is considered an outcast and can’t mate. I really like the story and the interesting characters but I love the humor throughout the story. In this book Lola and her mates are heading to Spain for a gaming competition. This is a quick, entertaining, steamy reverse harem story and I am looking forward to reading more books by this author duo in the future.
Fifth Round by Laura Greenwood is an awesome story to read. This is book number two in this awesome series that I have fallen in love with. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about dragons.

I absolutely love this series. The story is original and entertaining, the world is beautifully written and the characters are relatable and funny and endearing.
Lola and her mates are travelling to Spain for a major gaming competition. This is cute addition to Lola’s story. Lola and the guys spend their time drinking and playing while Rachel spends most of her time visiting museums and shopping. My favorite part was Rachel and Lola’s visit to the dragon temple. I liked their gaming strategy during the competition. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
This is the second book in the Renegade Dragons series and we get to watch Lola and her mates while they play in the biggest gaming tournament of their lives. I love how each one of Lola’s mates handles specific things for Lola mentally. While in Spain they find out something about the past and I really hope that we get to see more about that in future books
