Paranormal Dragonshifter Romance
Dragon Lords 5: His Highness The Duke
The would-be heroine…
Aeron wants nothing more than to continue to live out her very long, solitary life in a small metal room listening to communications for the Federation Military. It’s not glamorous. It’s not even charming. But it’s safe. There’s no chance of getting hurt.
When she intercepts a communication about the … intercepts a communication about the impeding genocide of the Qurilixian people, she has no choice but to act. No one at the Federation seems inclined to do anything about the threat and suddenly it’s up to her to save a whole planet. Enlisting the help of her degenerate sister, Aeron finds herself signed up as a prospective bride to the very barbarians she’s trying to save.
The man who did not need saved…
High Duke of Draig, Lord Bron, is not looking forward to his seventh failed attempt at a marriage ceremony, but when he sees the lovely Aeron he knows instantly his years of waiting have finally paid off. The gods have blessed him with a life mate… or have they? His new bride is insistent she’s not there for marriage, but for a mission. It’s up to Bron to convince her to stay, or risk spending the rest of his life alone.
ABOUT THE SERIES (Books 5-8):
The Noblemen brothers aren’t new to the sacred Qurilixian bridal ceremony. After several failed attempts at finding a bride, it’s hard to get excited about yet another festival. No matter how honorable they try to live, it would seem fate thinks them unworthy of such happiness–that is until now.
With very few words spoken and the shortest, most bizarre courtship in history, they will bond to their women forever. And once bonded, these men don’t let go.

Michelle Pillow has given us another great story in her world. This story is a continuation of the dragon lord books. I would advise you to read the others in the series before this one to get the best out of it. I am enjoying her book and can not wait to read the rest.

This is Bron & Aeron’s story and it is a doozy!
I do have to say that I truly respect Aeron for desperately trying to get to Quirilixen to do what she has to. I also respect her honesty throughout the book as well even though sometimes it was like pulling teeth. My fingers are crossed that she is wrong about one aspect of her life that I refuse to give a spoiler of.
Bron is so endearing he tugs at the heart strings. I was very shocked at what he was doing during the breeding ceremony procession & when he flat out broke a main tradition, my heart almost stopped. I was so worried about what that would mean for him. Oh and he’s a sneaky one.
This book has it all. Apprehension, fear, loyalty, more fear, sweetness, hotness & love.
It also has something Michelle M Pillow hasn’t done in this series yet. She left this book with not 1 but 2, TWO, cliffhangers!! Genius!
A most definite MUST read even if you start the series here or from the beginning.
What can I say about this series. I have recently found it but the world and it’s people are captivating. I love the traditions of the Draig for finding their partners although to be honest it would help the brides if they knew what was going on. Bron is close to giving up of ever finding the one who makes his crystal glow and when he does she seems only to want to get away from him. Aeron is trying to save a planet of people she never met. She feels that if she can do this it can somehow take away the pain of watching her own planet destroyed. She gets to the planet, not necessarily by the best means and ends up a bride. She just has to convince her husband, wait what? And the king of all she knows to try and give them a fighting chance.

Hooked from the first!
I loved this book. Bron and Aeron just “clicked” for me immediately. Aeron experienced her world literally explode in front of her and comes to warn the Qurilixian of the possibility that they could suffer a similar fate. She is a perfect combination of strength and sexuality and I like that she is not afraid to go after what she desires. Bron is strong but sensitive. He has his clueless man moments at times when you want to shake him but redeems himself nicely. This book stands alone but there are still unanswered questions about the Tyoe , not to mention Riona to eagerly await in the next book. Great addition to the series.

This book was okay. I did like Aeron’s character. She’s a worrier and that landed her with a bridal contract to a far away planet…courtesy of her sister. She must deliver a message of warning to the people because she refuses to see their world destroyed if she can help it. Unfortunately, she is chosen to be married by Bron, a nobleman whose had several rounds at the bridal search with no luck…until now. As luck would have it, his chosen bride doesn’t want to be there…just wants to deliver a message to the king. Well, things take a serious turn for the worst and Bron has no idea what to do!
Though this story coincides with the Dragon Lords, there was a fair amount of world and plot building. We get that there is a hea, but so much was introduced that wasn’t resolved. Not a bad read but not a story one can read and walk away with closure. I felt the ending was abrupt too. An okay read if you are already into the series. 3 stars
I received a few copy from BookSprout in exchange for my honest review.
I love this book. Michelle M.Pillow does a good job with family relationships. Aeron travels to Qurilixian to warn the people of an impeding attack. She ends up married to Lord Bron and feeling sad and afraid that her life will end soon. The ending was surprising. I really love this whole season.
Aeron works as a communications analyst for the Federation and picks up a message that the Tyoe, a hostile alien race, are going to attack the Draig and take the planets rich minerals and ore, which is used to fuel ships. She asks her sister to help to get to this planet. Her sister, Ri is a gambler and itinerant traveller. They are the only known survivors of a planet which was destroyed by a war ship weapons test, which by a twist of fate also killed those of the war ship.
Aeron reports the transmission to her boss and tell her that the Draig planet is not in the federation and therefore no concern of theirs. She cannot except that with what happened her own planet. Ri forges them paperwork and gets them out of the area on the Galaxy Brides ship.
High Duke Bron sees Aeron, his crystal glows and he takes her back to the tent. All she wants to do is talk to the king, but Aeron knows if she removes Bron’s mask she is considered married to him, she ask him if he can remove the mask without her being married to him but he tricks her when he says yes. She is drunk and ready to have sex, which goes against the rules of the ceremony and has dire personal consequences for her.
No spoilers about the rest of the story. A great read and very detailed plot, I loved the interaction between Aeron and Ri (reminded me of my sister and I!!) Great camaraderies between the princes and their cousins. I love the overlapping stories as you see things from other perspectives. I thought it did end a bit suddenly but didn’t take away from a generally very well crafted story
