STONEFIRE DRAGONS BOOK 12Nearly a year ago, an injured human female showed up on Stonefire’s land carrying a flash drive full of information stolen from the Dragon Knights. However, before Zain Kinsella could interrogate her, she fell into a coma and hasn’t awoken since. After his initial anger fades, he wonders if the thin, pale girl will ever wake again. When she does, it’s up to him to help … help guard her and make her strong enough to face some questioning. He most definitely shouldn’t notice her delicious heat or the sadness in her eyes. She’s a prisoner and can be nothing more.
Ivy Passmore finds herself inside a dragon-shifter hospital, bedridden and barely able to sit up. Despite the overwhelming grief at the death of her brother, she’s determined to do everything she can to atone for her part in helping the Dragon Knights and causing her brother’s murder. She’s more than ready to tell the dragons everything. When one tall, quiet Protector makes a deal—she endures his physical therapy, and he’ll help track down her brother’s killers—Ivy has no choice but to agree. Slowly, her idea of dragon-shifters changes, especially around one certain dragonman.
As two former enemies morph into something more, the Dragon Knights find out about Ivy’s location and offer a reward for her death or capture. Will Stonefire be forced to give her up to protect their clan? Or, will Zain and Ivy be able to find a path where they can defeat the Knights and be together?

This was a fabulous story. It was so interesting to learn so much about the Dragon Knights and how they had brainwashed so many people. Watching Ivy win over Zain, Nikki, Bram and so many more on Stonefire was so heartwarming. Loved the rapport between Zain and Ivy. The teasing and the way they grew to trust each other and confide in each other was nice to see. Never disappointed in a Jessie Donovan story.
A very enjoyable story.
Persuading the Dragon
Imagine waking up in a cold sterile hospital room. You are weak and can barely keep your eyes open. You have a vague memory of running through a forest to warn someone or something. You try to move but can’t, you try to talk but only make gurgling sounds. Then a strange man bends over the bed, his face comes into view as does the tattoo on his arm that identifies him as a Dragon Shifter! She needs to remember something. She was running in the forest on Stonefire Dragon Clan land carrying a thumb drive.
Ivy Passmore worked for the infamous Dragon Knights; an organization shrouded in secrecy to destroy all dragons. She discovered that the Dragon Knights are not the helpful as they may seem. Ivy went into hiding with stolen information and the Dragon Knights killed her brother.
Now she finds that she has been in a coma for over a year. She is weak and must relearn how to walk, talk and trust her former enemies. She knows that the Dragon Knights are working to destroy all dragons. Can she and that scary Zain work together? Will she ever be safe?
Zain, a Protector for Stonefire Clan, has been tasked with extracting information from Ivy. That thumb drive has been helpful but some files are encrypted. He will have to find a way to encourage Ivy to help them. Can Zain work through his hatred of Dragon Knights to see Ivy as a person?
This is the first time we have seen a Dragon Knight in any of these books. We learn a bit on how they operate and how they recruit. This was a page turner. Exciting new chapter in Stone Fire Clan!
Zain & Ivy
His job is to protect the clan. Zain never considered he’d be watching over an enemy of the clan. Still, it became hard to consider Ivy an enemy. The young human woman has been in a coma for a year and finally, she’s awake. She brought evidence that could help fight the enemy of the dragons. Does that mean she is no longer an enemy? Looking at her, spending time with her is changing his feelings. What will happen with the information she brought and her feelings about the clan?
Ivy shouldn’t find herself drawn to the dragon. Even though she brought evidence that could help them she only did it to find out who and why her brother was killed. Was there anyone she could turn to? The more time she spends with the dragons, the more she realizes what she’s been told isn’t true. And the protector is someone she has feelings for.
To save the clan, the two become part of a daring plan. A plan that proves they were both wrong and feelings between humans and dragons can become serious. Will they have a chance to find out if there is a future for them together or will those who are now both of their enemies change it all?
A love story with some old friends and new ones. A fun time with Daisy and Freddie will add some comic relief. I am a huge fan of the kids and visiting friends from other books. This book hits all my fan buttons.
Another enjoyable and entertaining read and a great addition to the series. I been waiting for this book to come out for a while it was definitely worth the wait. I absolutely loved Zain and Ivy story. The struggle they both had endure and how his hate transform into to love and to see Ivy’s eyes finally truly opened to all her wrong doing was great. But to see them grow and come together as a couple was amazing. Overall a great read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
