Three very good well written stories that kept me turning pages. A set I will be reading again at a later time.
**The Beast’s Beloved**
This had amazing world building that sets the entire story. The dynamics between Dresdyn and Klaryssa is intriguing. This is very much list at first sight and a very good read.
**Destined for the Dragon**
Jaspyr is the embodiment of what one thinks of a traditional dragon.
The mix of characters created a “cast” that a story full of multiple lives coming together, including one protective pet.
This was a good read that not only included the lives and romance of the main characters but also the lives of the surrounding people.
This has a well-written and executed plot.

Fall in love with dragons, wolves, and elves as bonds are tested and stretched to the breaking point. This collection includes: The Beast’s Beloved, Destined for the Dragon, and Bonds Eternal. Below is a review of one of the books to give you an idea of what to expect in this wonderful world!
*** Reviewing DESTINED FOR THE DRAGON ***
Jaspyr is the High Dragon of the y Draig clan, currently 36 years old. He has until his 100th birthday to find his mate, but finding a mate doesn’t always happen. While in his treasure room during a storm, Avyla, a female healer who is unaware of her own magic, gets lost and goes into a cave to stay dry until the storm is over. Her pet, a raccoon named Baxter, has gone exploring and as she looks for him, she trips and her hand goes through the cave wall! She stumbles into the room where Jaspyr is and he recognizes her as his mate! He will now need to convince the quiet, frightened female that she belongs with him. She had never loved before and did not trust herself to love such a powerful man. Can he reassure her? Can he keep her safe from another dragon who had not found his mate and fell into insanity, putting everyone at risk?
This was a really good story, well-written and exciting to read. The characters were developed well, and the reader learns about the dragon clan and how they live. The secondary characters were very interesting as well and added to the story line. With the other two books included in this collection, you will have more than enough to entertain you! Grab your copy and enjoy!
This boxset includes:
1 – Bonds Eternal
Wood elves and Dark elves have a long history of hating one another, one being of good temperament and one being of evil. There are some exceptions, but the hatred and prejudice taught from birth is engrained into each child through the generations. Dorlyn is a wood elf. Kind and loving in nature, Dorlyn was a lover of both sexes having enjoyed the company of each sex on more than one occasion. Vylkur is a dark elf trying to escape the underground and his mentor/lover, the evil Warlock Morkessa. This was not easy as his mother has given him to Morkessa when he was just a child and he was her property to do as she saw fit. Twice their paths have crossed and each time, instead of one killing the other, a life was spared until fate stepped in and brought them together as lovers and eventually true life mates. For 50 years they kept their relationship a secret until they were found out and banished. 300 years later they have met Liandrya Silvermoon who was a half-elven ranger. Eventually, Dorlyn and Vylkur realize they loved Liandrya as much as they loved each other and become a family of three. The only problem is Liandrya has gotten involved with Morkessa. These exceptional characters will take you through a tale of love and passion, good and evil, right and wrong all the while keeping you spellbound. I whole heartedly recommend this one!
2 – The Beast’s Beloved
What an experience! Let me introduce you to the main characters. Klaryssa had a betrothed to a man named Bailey, the obnoxious and cruel man who owned the farm next door. It was a marriage made of necessity to join their farmlands. The crops are failing, her mother had died, she had a 13yr old sister, and her father’s health was rapidly failing. The Black Knight was known to be a cold hearted mercenary. Lord Dresdyn y Blaidd ruled the large fiefdom where so many dwelled. None had seen him, but he was rumored to be a dark wizard, a wicked sadist or a vicious beast in the guise of a man. Imagine the scenes in an old world setting where Kings are the highest authority, shifters that live with a strong set of values, morals and loyalties, and the unfaltering belief in a love brought by fate. Of course through all this you have to have the epic battle between good and evil. This is what you’ll find in this book and you won’t be disappointed as it carries you away and leads you into the adventure. Truly a 5 star rating.
3 – Destined For the Dragon
This is just such a cool series!!! A. J. Ryder has now introduced us to the dragons in this magical land giving us a bit of history, tradition, fear, laughter, hate and love. If you’re a dragon fan, then you’ll understand when I say the full extent of love and protectiveness of the species comes to light. If you have never read about a dragon and what they’re capable of when they find their mate, grab your drink and settle down because you won’t want to leave until you finish this tale.
A J Ryder has created such a magical world filled with extraordinary characters full of magic, love, conflict. Each of these will take you through an myriad of emotions and a tale you will never forget. She’s captivated my heart with this world and it’s occupants as you can tell from my reviews of these books.

This was something totally different than what I usually read….there was plenty of action, magic, and magical beings such as elves, sorceress, knights, dragons, clans, and packs, but also shifters, fated mates and romance. Theses books have it all, and I was pleasantly surprised. The stories weave together wonderful worlds with surprising twists, and they just flowed so well that I stayed interested. A truly good read; you wont be disappointed.
