**This isn’t a standalone story. Please read at least Healed by the Dragon (Stonefire Dragons #4) first. I would highly suggest reading the other books in the Lochguard series as well.**For Finlay Stewart, being a dragon-shifter clan leader is easy compared to managing his family… having triplets is his toughest challenge to date. But with his mate, Arabella, at his side, he finds a way to manage. However, as things start to spiral out of control with a pregnant cousin, another cousin constantly containing a mate-claim frenzy, and another driving his eight-months’-pregnant mate crazy, Finn’s next mission is to find a way to ensure everyone behaves and toes the line. The only problem is that the MacKenzies are a stubborn lot and Finn may be in over his head.
However, as Finn soon finds out, his wild cousins are nothing compared to the latest surprise to show up on his doorstep. It’s going to take every bit of wit and charm he possesses to keep his family safe and together. Failure simply isn’t an option.

My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I bought the book, and I’m working on collecting all of Jessie’s books!
The cover is another beauty! Love it!
This is the 5th Lochguard book, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content. Even though it is not necessary, I would highly recommend reading all of Jessie’s dragon books in order because the world and characters are so much more together than separately! This world rocks!
This is more of Ara and Finn’s story. Finn is trying to keep up with everything and spend as much time as possible with his family. His family is giving him trouble, but nothing Ara isn’t happy to help him with. As the family grows the trouble does too, new things develop and new things are being learned. I don’t want to give anything away, but you will want to read this to see what is happening. I love how they all pull together when needed. This was a page turner that I couldn’t put down! I loved every second of the story. I can’t wait to see what Jessie fires up next!
I highly recommend to all dragon lovin’ fans because action, humor, trouble, and mates make a fabulous story for entertaining!

Wow! Jessie Donovan totally rocked my world – AGAIN – with The Dragon Family, the fifth release in Donovan’s captivating Lochguard Highland Dragons Series. I don’t know how she does it, consistently publishing unique, imaginative, and passionate storylines that tug at the heartstrings of readers, making us snicker, snort, sniffle, snuffle and chuckle, but she does, every single time. And I should know, I’ve been a fan since Donovan published her first book and now eagerly await each new release, but The Dragon Family may be my new favorite! Yes, I know I say the same thing every time, but this story is the ultimate treat for lovers of Donovan’s dragon shifters and babies! And yes, I said babies! We have babies, babies, and more babies! Lochguard and Stonefire are literally exploding with babies! I’m addicted to romance, fascinated by anything paranormal or supernatural, love action and suspense, completely smitten with sexy dragons, a complete sucker for any story with babies, and adore storylines with sass, snark, and humor, so when I can find it all in one great read, I’m in absolute heaven – and Jessie Donovan delivers the perfect fusion of it all every single time! The Dragon Family is a fast-paced, easy-to-follow, exceptionally well-crafted and edited, laugh-out-loud-funny, novella-length paranormal romance. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with multiple perspectives, but the primary points of view are from two of my favorite characters, Lochguard Clan Leader Finlay Stewart and former Stonefire clan member Arabella MacLeod-Stewart who is now mated to Finn. The dialogue is smart, sassy, seductive and well executed. But my favorite component of every Jessie Donovan story is the cast of intriguing, engaging, always memorable and exceptionally well-developed characters. I fell in love with both Finn and Ara when they were introduced much earlier in the Stonefire series and always look forward to hearing about their life. I’m so glad Donovan chose to pair these two strong, stubborn, independent characters. They may seem like complete opposites, Finn with his charming personality and Ara with her stoic, no-nonsense demeanor, but their attraction was undeniable and their love for each other and their new family is stronger than ever. The only thing I love as much as Donovan’s quirky characters is the banter between them and their dragons. It is beyond entertaining and quite often hilarious, especially now that most of the couples are expecting baby/babies or just had a baby/babies. It seems Lochguard is literally exploding with multiple births, as anyone who is a fan of Donovan’s dragon shifters can attest. Of course, we also get the scoop on our other favorite Lochguard characters which naturally includes Lorna MacKenzie and her new human mate Ross Anderson, Finn’s twin cousins, Fraser and Fergus MacKenzie and their human mates Holly Anderson-MacKenzie and Gina MacDonald-MacKenzie, along with Faye MacKenzie and her new mate Grant McFarland, and so many more! Oh, and several of the crew from Stonefire make an appearance! You know if Ara has a problem of any kind, then her brother Tristan MacLeod and his mate Melanie Hall-MacLeod will always be nearby for moral support and you better believe, Finn and Ara need all the help they can get now that they have triplets. I can hardly wait for all these dragon babies grow up to have their own stories. Of course, there are some fascinating new characters as well and OMG, Aunt Lorna’s frenemy, Meg Boyd shows up with her two beaus! Yes, I said TWO! lol… If you love well written paranormal romance filled to the brim with heart-pounding action and adventure, spine-tingling suspense, agonizing angst, unexpected plot twists, laugh-out-loud humor, sexy dragons, heated attraction, fiery passion, and steamy, dreamy sex, then this is definitely the book for you!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Many of Donovan’s books can be read without reading the previous books in the series but I do NOT recommend The Dragon Family as a standalone. I strongly suggest, at least, reading Healed by the Dragon, Book 4 of the Stonefire British Dragons, prior to this book. Although the Lochguard Highland Dragons and the Stonefire British Dragons are two separate series, they are cohesive with an underlying interconnected storyarc throughout all the books with crossover characters. For that reason, I highly recommend reading the other books in the series. It will certainly enrich your reading experience and it will be one decision, I’m sure, you’ll never regret. And FYI, Donovan’s books are for adult readers only since it does contain naughty language and some very randy dragons! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the time. I always look forward to reading a Jessie Donovan story because I know before I read the first page, I’m always guaranteed a heartwarming story with a cast of wonderful characters and a lovely happy ending, and The Dragon Family was no exception! Congratulations Jessie Donovan on another fabulous book. I can hardly wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Finlay Stewart’s job as clan leader of Lochguard is nothing short of difficult, and that’s on a good day, but 51 complaints from clan members related to his three cousins in only one week is a nightmare. With Aunt Lorna and her new mate Ross Anderson away on their long overdue honeymoon, his cousin Fraser MacKenzie refusing to allow his mate Holly Anderson-MacKenzie out of his sight because she’s expecting twins, his cousin Fergus MacKenzie and his mate Gina MacDonald-Mackenzie fighting a mate-claiming frenzy with their one-year-old toddler Jaime in tow, his newly pregnant cousin Faye MacKenzie-McFarland going ballistic at the drop of a hat and throwing plates at her mate Grant McFarland in public, who just happen to be his co-head protectors for the clan, and the constant threat of rogue dragons hanging over his head, Finn’s life at Lochguard is officially out of control. But when a blast from the past shows up at his door after a shocking, very unexpected, and possibly tragic incident, the always easy-going Finn is ready to shed his charming persona and do whatever it takes to protect his family. Poor Finn! He may be the clan leader but he’s a father first. Will poor Finn be able to protect his loved ones and manage to satisfy the clan? We’ll see, but he may have a whole lot of help from his ‘Dragon Family’!
