I found this book enjoyable read with a great backstory. You will find well defined characters, and crazy kaos that comes with relationships between vampires shifters and dragons.
Jonathan and Maggie have always been friends over the years, however never romantically. This story can easily be read as a standalone book. There is plenty of humour drama twists and turns and then there is the sexual chemistry. Reccomend reading.
We met Maggie and Jonathon in book five. In the last book I didn’t like Maggie at all. Seeing the world from her point of view this time she is a lot different. She is still a strong woman that will protect those she loves, but she is also sensitive and lonely. Jonathon is a dragon shifter with three kids that Maggie babysits for. She was recently turned into a vampire to save her life. Now she is on a quest to change back into a human. Jonathon takes her and the kids on a road trip to try to solve the mystery and soon trouble follows. Both are madly in love with each other, but too afraid to tell the other. They will butt heads with humans, dragons, bears and vampires. This is a wonderful story and they finally get their HEA. I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
Book six in the Shifter Dating Service series brings Jonathan and Maggie’s story. The author brings a cast of colorful characters , adds twists,turns,drama,suspense and danger as well as a bit of humor and the steamy romance. It’s a best friend / paranormal romance that had me hooked from start to finish reading. I would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
A marvelous, intriguing vampire/dragon romance & a enjoyable read. The main characters are quite complex, well-developed individuals who have realistic flaws & at times they are inclined to be confrontational, the secondary characters offer good support. There are character crossovers but this book can be read as a standalone. The story-line is interesting with a well-written, entertaining plot.
There is: a determined dragon (Jonathan), a female vampire (Maggie) trying to cope with her life, an ex-boyfriend (Josh), various kinds of shifters, crazy vampires, rumors, a possible cure, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, humor, danger, threats, enemies, conflict, violence, judgmental attitudes, assaults, memories, manipulations, verbal conflict, regrets, emotional turmoil, devious intentions, confrontations, forgiveness, love, contentment, some steam & a well-deserved happy epilogue.
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Paranormal Friends with Benefits by Jasmine Wylder is book six in the Shifter Dating Service series. You get the start of Maggie’s journey and a peek at Maggie and Jonathon in Book 5 – Sold to her Enemies (her sister Camille’s story). I really loved this story, it was emotional and heartwarming. This amazing series just keeps getting better and better. Most of these stories can be read as stand alone, but Paranormal Friends with Benefits should be read AFTER Sold to her Enemies (STHE). The start of Maggie’s journey and why it happens is in STHE. With that said, I read the books out of sequence and was not lost, but I did go back and do a re-read before reading this book. I definitely enjoyed the read more! Packed with action, adventure, humor, angst and a ton of dominant secondary characters (not to mention lovable children) this book sucks you in and will have you living the adventure.
This is a great addition to this series and while most of the books can be read as total stand alone please make sure you read book 5 Sold to her Enemies as this is where we first meet the main characters of this book and you need to know their back story
Jonathon is a one and done kind of guy the only woman he has any feelings for is his best friend and nanny Maggie and he knows he shouldn’t go there. Maggie has feelings for her dragon shifter boss but she knows that she isn’t in his league When she is almost killed and the only way to save her is for her BIL to turn her to a vampire she thinks her life is over she just wants to be human again. Jonathon hears there is a way but the vampires forbid it but he will do whatever needs to be done to give Maggie her wish. So begins a quest that could destroy this pair or give them the love that they both desperately want
Maggie was a great character. She became a vampire against her will and didn’t want to stay that way. Jonathon was a dragon shifter and her best friend. She was also his nanny to his three kids. Lots of action as the two search for a cure which leads into lots of fighting with other paranormals. While working to this goal they encounter other vampires and shifters and learn more about each other as they finally come together. Loved it!!
What an exciting and well written read. They have been friends most of their life. She is a vampire that was turned against her will and he is a dragon shifter. She wants to be human again and he may be able to make that happen. But she is in love with him also which complicates things. It is a wonderful story to read and I loved it. I had to go back and read the rest. I love this author. Her books are always worth reading. I recommend this. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
I liked the storyline and the characters were also good…but I didn’t like it as much as her other books. The characters were not as strong as the previous characters..well Maggie was gonna extent. But I’d certainly recommend it.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Maggie was turned into a vampire.
She being trying to regain her humanity ever since.
Jonathan has been in loved with Maggie for forever.
There is a chance that he might be able to make her human again.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
