Nathaniel is the 1st book in USA Today Bestselling and Amazon #1 author, Carole Mortimer’s, NEW paranormal series, DRAGON HEARTS.Warriors, from the mists of time?Dragons, of myth and legend?Or both?Taking a much-needed holiday in North Wales, journalist Chloe Evans discovers a castle not listed on any of the dozen or so maps she has of the area. The nearest thing she can find is the remains of a … can find is the remains of a castle that used to be there but crumbled into ruin many centuries before. Her curiosity getting the better of her, Chloe decides to find out more about this imposing grey stone castle and anyone who might live there.
The locals, she discovers, call it Pendragon Castle. When Chloe asks them more probing questions some say there are half a dozen male members of the original family still in residence, and that they’re brothers. Others claim there to be more, or less, than that number. But all, without fail, describe those men as being big and muscular, more handsome than any man has a right to be, with eyes capable of mesmerizing and seducing any woman who falls under their spell. Some of those people add a knowing wink, others a warning not to venture too near the castle, and to certainly keep her distance from the men living there.
Visitors staying at the same small hotel as Chloe talk of seeing bright lights and helicopters landing on the mountain late at night, and of hearing strange noises that sound like the roars of wild animals.
There was a story here, Chloe was certain of it.
Whatever the mystery is regarding Pendragon Castle and the men who live there, Chloe decides she isn’t leaving Wales until she’s discovered exactly what’s going on.
While exploring the area around the castle, Chloe is challenged by the dark and taciturn Nathaniel. A man who fits the description of the castle’s inhabitants exactly: well over six feet tall, handsome as sin, with shoulders wide enough to fill a doorway, and eyes the colour of the clearest emerald.
The moment she gazes into those mesmerizing green eyes Chloe realises she should have run while she still could.

Dragon shifters!! A new to me author!! A new series!!
This story is full of mystery, adventure and hot sex. And there is going to be more! More mysteries, more adventures and more hot sex!
This story had me hooked from the beginning. Sassy, brave and determined is how Mortimer introduces Chloe to us. She is alone for the most part. She has acquaintances but no real true friends and no family. She out looking for a story and finds so much more.
Nathaniel is living in the Pendragon Castle with his brothers, just trying to be happy. They run a security company with each brother having a spot on the team. There are legends and folklore surrounding the brothers and their family that dates back hundreds of years. Nathaniel learns that one just might be true. Now he just needs to find the answers he is looking for.
This book is a quick and easy read. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author and about these band of brothers.
5 Stars
Nathaniel is the first book in the Dragon Hearts series by Carole Mortimer. This is an exciting paranormal romance full of dragon shifters, passion, mystery, drama, insta-love, lust, different realms, some suspense, and more. I love a good shifter romance, especially dragons, so this book already had me in the palm of its hand, right from the start. What I was expecting was a bit of a light, fun, adventure with some shifters, and a little romance thrown in for good measure. I would have enjoyed it and given it a 3.5 or 4 star rating. BUT, what I found when I turned the pages of this enthralling story, WAS SO MUCH MORE! The book is fairly short, but Ms. Mortimer still manages to create a story with quite a lot of depth, while also weaving in some myth, lore, and intriguing backstory- which really sets this book apart. The tie-in with King Arthur; the ‘OtherWorld’; and all the other seemingly small, inter-connected details- really adds to the incredible story. I was hooked, reading it in a matter of hours- and loved every minute. Ms. Mortimer proves once again that she is a brilliant storyteller and wonderful writer, able to work her magic with any genre. The story she created here is romantic, exciting, sexy, erotic, emotive, and fun!
When seasoned freelance journalist Chloe Evans arrives in Wales, she was expecting a relaxing get-away- but instead of wandering the countryside enjoying the picturesque scenery and tourist sites, she thinks she may have stumbled on a story. Her natural investigative and curious nature take over and she soon finds much more than she bargained for. What she suspects to be a story on drug smuggling introduces her to a world she never imagined, one that will change her life forever. Being held captive by an incredibly sexy man, in a castle in Wales, is only the beginning of her adventure- and one you really should read to discover what happens, and all the other fantastic details, for yourself.
I really loved this story- Chloe and Nathaniel are wonderful characters who really made this story come to life. I loved their banter, and chemistry. Their connection was sizzling! I can’t wait to read all about the other eight brothers now, and am so excited to find that the books have already been released- so I don’t have to wait before I can dive right in!
Fantastic!
Thank you, Ms. Mortimer!
