Another great story from Meg Ripley! I really enjoyed this captivating story and could not put it down. The narrator did a great job reading as well. This might be my favorite story from her to date. It’s a fairly quick read or listen and definitely worth the time. I thought it was well written and I loved Holden and Leah. They are great together. Definite chemistry and passion between these two. I loved everything about this story especially the ending.
Awesome Story & Audible Listen Captivating & Enjoyable!
Holden’s Mate
Daddy Dragon Guardians, Book 1
By: Meg Ripley
Narrated by: Elle Sonali
Wow, I loved this book, it is well written with interesting and original storylines. Meg Ripley is a gifted author with a creative and imaginative mind, she blends fantasy and realism in this book making the story and its characters easy to relate to. Dragon shifters from another planet have settled on earth they are adjusting to the human lifestyle and are searching for a mate. Each of the shifters are raising dragon babies, possible the last of their kind. I just loved these shifters, they have a great temperament and are super hot, especially Holden. Leah is a psychic who’s divorce just went through, she is not interested in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. But she gives Holden a chance, the chemistry between them is smoking hot but Leah can see he is hiding something. With her trust issues she can not get further involved with him. But Holden will not give up, he knows she is his intended mate. I loved how much story is in this novella sized book, it is enjoyable and entertaining and there is never a dull moment. I am looking forward to what comes next in the “Daddy Dragon Guardians” series. Thank you Meg Ripley for another awesome book.
I listened to the Audible edition, Elle Sonali is a terrific narrator and voice artist. She does a great job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures and projects the characters emotions into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen
I thoroughly enjoy a paranormal romance. It seems dragons have moved their way up my list of creatures I would not have thought could make my heart pound in a good way.
The characters were well developed with a storyline that captured my heart.
To escape and lose so much but to find someone special to fill the void is a win win for me.
Meg Ripley knows how to capture the reader’s attention along with making you want to come back for more.
Well written and extremely enjoyable.
Almost forgot to mention that I listened to this book on audible books and it was very well done.
I have really enjoyed reading this book, the author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major characters, but the minor ones too.
Also, it caused me to lose quite a bit of sleep while I was reading it, because it was so hard to put down at night.
What you need to know: this book contains no cheating, no cliff-hangers and a HEA.
I received a copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
Who can blame Holden for his view of humans many of us rub people the wrong way and some are just down and out right ……..
Holden is one of 4 dragons to have escaped his home planet when war destroyed everything. He was also able to save 4 of the royal eggs which are now being cared for by the 4 dragons that survived, and each is now looking for a mate to help raise the hatchlings.
Leah is the lucky woman/mate for this dragon. Leah has psychic abilities and has 2 witches for friends.
This book is the first in a new series which so far is looking like it’s going to be a great series if this first book is anything to go by.
Arc review/audible I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Leah is now divorced and physic .Holden is from charok and a dragon shifter raising a son. This is their story very cute.
It is a good thing Holden encountered love to help him overcome the pain of losing his planet. While the path was not smooth-sailing, the joy at least outweighs the pain.
A great read and I do love a good dragon shifter story. Forced to flee from their world with the help of a warlock, 4 dragons and four eggs to protect come to earth to be safe. Little realising they may find their mates whilst bringing up the kids.
Holden is on earth with his now hatched egg and a little boy. Trying to fit in the best he can. Leah is a psychic and has been divorced for one day. A night out is one she needs with her friends. A stranger saves her from another man. But who is he. They both feel a connection. With delving into his past and not understanding and her work putting her life in danger will everything become clear for Leah to put her ex behind her and seek something out with Holden? What will happen when she finds out his secret? I can’t wait for any others within this series.
This story of dragons and beautiful pyschics will have you smiling from ear to ear. This was an enchanting story of Instalove and mystery. It is a well written story and it will pull on your heart strings.

This was my first Meg Ripley’s book, and won’t be my last. Holden and Leah short Dragon Shifter story is sweet, and fast paced. They share and instant attraction/love, and an undeniable chemistry. The world building is intriguing. The supporting characters are interesting. I like the friendship in this story. This was my first listen to Elle Sonali. She has a beautiful voice, and did a nice job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next audiobooks, Xander, Beau and Julian. #AudiobookObsession
