Wow I just had my cherry busted!! This was my first reverse haram and you know. . . it wasn’t bad. I love these two authors so I never even looked at the blurb and this was really well done. When Maya finds herself forced to return to the land she was banished from, she finds that her father has set up suitors for her to mate with. When she decides to mate with not one. . . not two. . . but three (at least so far) (with the added bonus it irritates the hell out of her father) there’s no telling what might happen next especially with the bonus that comes from mating with her.
I love these two authors and this is so tastefully done I can’t even be mad that I got suckered into this. It was a fun read with some suspense and dragons, and magic! Great stuff.

Maya did not live up to her families expectations so she was pretty much exiled to Earth even if she is a dragon shifter. She made a life for herself with things going pretty well until her fathers men show up to announce she must go back. Her amazing sister is sterile so now she has to become the one to birth the new generation of dragons. As you would expect this does not go over well with lots of tension, fighting, secrets, and so much more. Just starts really getting interesting when the story comes to an end. Good world building creating an interesting story that I am interested to follow now. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This was a great start to a great series I can tell. The characters are so wonderfully written and the story line is great. Maya was abandoned on Earth by her hateful father until he needs her to provide an heir. Now she has two suitors, Raiden and Jack vieing for her attention. Add an ex-lover, Firestar and you have got a hell of a lot of trouble. I cant wait to read the next book and see how Jack finally gets his chance to be with her.

I’ve read some of Erin’s solo books, and you can clearly tell the difference Cipriano makes in the way the story unfolds itself. It’s a bit on the steamier side than other Erin’s books but those scenes are expertly written. I liked Maya’s duty regarding her family but not abandoning herself in spite of that. She’s sassy and stubborn, and with a bigger heart than she gives herself credit for, a great start for a reverse harem series.

I really enjoyed reading this start to a new series. It starts out with the main character being banished to the human realm and spends a few years learning to live as a human when fate comes knocking and completely turns her life around. I love dragons in general so I was really excited to start this book and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed following her journey of love and adventure and I can’t wait to find out what happens next! There were a few times when I thought I knew what would happen next, but nope, the author just continued to surprise me. I love the unpredictability of this story and I will gladly keep an eye out for more work done by this author.

I like this story It was well written and really leave you on the edge of your seat with page after page thrown in some intricate challenges and characters makes a great read
Maya was exiled from her kingdom and suddenly called back by her father because her sister can’t have children. Maya is needed to save the dragon race. Who will she choose as a mate or does she really have to? I thought this was a good book and look forward to reading more about Maya and her choices as she tries to fulfill the quest her father has put her on.
This is the beginning of Maya’s story & it looks to be a reverse harem one at that. Brought back from her banishment to Earth, Maya is sent on a quest. She’s supposed to be bonding with one of her two suitors but instead she winds up with 3.

(Possible Spoilers) Maya is a dragon shifter that hasn’t got her wings yet. She is originally from another dimension thats magical and everyone is a dragon and it’s called Waesigar. She is the one of the daughters of the Dannan who is the King of Northern Waesigar. So now she is on Earth as her father abandoned her there several years ago to to break up her romantic relationship with Firestar. They wanted to get married and her father said no and kicked Firestar out of the kingdom. She is now working at Mist Games Inc. as a software engineer and just finished creating and producing a PC game called WAESIGAR: REALM OF DRAGONS. It has become one the the biggest selling games for Mist Games. She was going out to celebrate with her friends, but had to head home first. When she got home her cousin Ned was there. He is First Lieutenant for her father. He has to take her back home as her father wants her to produce and heir for the Kingdom as her sister Aeis can not. So she has two suitors Jack from the Northern Region and Raiden is the 3rd son son of the King of the Eastern Region. That just the beginning of this story and there are so many surprises to come. There is some spicy sexy scenes and lots of fighting. I’m excited to read the next one.

I love reading new paranormal series and getting to jump into the amazing worlds the authors create. Riding Lightning is one of those book that pulls the reader into the story. Great story line and character development. I loved the chemistry between Maya and her suitors. I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
This is a new reverse harem fantasy that takes place in the land of dragons. After being banished to Earth for years, Maya is retrieved back home to be mated and to provide a much needed heir for the western kingdom. There is much upheaval and unrest within their lands, so Maya and her two suitors, Raiden and Jack are tasked to acquire an ally of the southern kingdom under Lord Amun whose son Firestar was Maya’s ex love. I can see the beginnings of Maya’s harem. Her father said “pick one” but Maya can’t make up her mind. Looks like she’s going to bond with all three of these princes. In this book, she physically mates with Raiden who then acquires some super lightning powers and an awesome “elite-only” trident. Wow! I wonder what the other two will gain when they finally mate with Maya?

I am really liking this series so far, although I thought the background story could have been more thoroughly described with a little more info as to why Maya was banished. Was it solely because her father thought she would contend for the throne or because she was hanging out with someone he thought was unsuitable or was there more? Or was her father just an a$$? And why would he just dump her with zero care or concern and why would her mother let him? Other than the thin background story, I had no major complaints. I loved the sexy, and caring, dragon suitors, although it remains to be seen whether they want her for herself or for what she can do for them. I also liked Maya’s spunky attitude. She seems a little immature and lacking in self-confidence sometimes, but considering that her father has basically beaten her down for years, it’s no surprise. Hopefully, her suitors will build her up and make her see how strong she can be. And the sexy stuff is hot. I liked the adventure, and I hope to see the four-some grow together, and to see Maya become more of a leader. I am eager for the next volume.

I really liked the idea of the book and liked a lot of it but I did find Maya a bit inconsistent which irked me, she is happy to hook up with a couple of the guys but one she still hasn’t quiet decided on. The guys all have great individual personalities all to the extreme of each other which makes them work and ugh Maya’s dad, well I would like to punch him! The book was not quiet a 4 star however I am not giving up on the series and will be reading book 2 to see where things go as there is a lot of potential and the series might just be finding its feet.

Maya has had a rough time being banished from her world. I hated her father and Firestar’s father is exactly like hers. I really liked Raiden, but Jack is my favorite. However, I would love to have all of the guys panting after me too. Each one has his own special place and together they could rule the world.
Riding Lightning by Erin Bedford is an amazing story to read. This story is an amazing start to a brand new dragon shifter series. I loved reading this story cause it has dragon shifters in it and the characters are so strong with an amazing story line threw this whole book. I highly recommend this story to everyone who love dragon shifter stories to read.

Emotionally thrilling, sweetly sexy, action packed and engaging romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery and smocking hot passion… very enjoyable reading.
Maya Rose is unexpectedly called back home to mate and produce an heir but she has to choose a mate among the men her father has chosen …. but why must she choose??? Loved this story and its witty banter and heart pounding action.
sometimes you need a little more than a hand.
her annoying king of a father
has pulled her back to her home realm to provide an heir since her sister, the chosen heir, is barren.
small detail that he threw her into another dimension when he chose her sister to rule.
can she find happiness, and make an heir? maybe it takes a village to make an heir too? in this case, at least a few lordly, hot dragon men.
a steamy and fun ongoing saga

While I have never read anything by J. A. Cipriano, I am a huge fan of Ms. Bedford’s books. After reading this story I may have to look up others by J.A. The “world” these two created is great. After being considered “lesser” her whole life, Maya is finding herself being “important” to her father. This is the same father that banished her to Earth. Therefore I don’t know why he thought Maya would just meekly do as he wished. Why choose one mate when there is the potential for three? Now if only the three Alpha dragons can work together. Can’t wait to read more about Maya and her men.
