How did my life become a sci-fi movie?I found myself in a dimly lit dungeon, chained to a wall, and surrounded by other women sharing the same fate. We had to expect the wolves would strike back though. We started it after all. Humans; we always make the same mistake. “”If we don’t strike first, they will”“. Well, they struck second.And they struck hardNow, I was to be given away like a Christmas … hard
Now, I was to be given away like a Christmas present to some Dragon Lord; beasts that the outer-space wolves respected for their might and strength. I was already scared and confused, but when I saw him…
No man could ever be this gorgeous.
Fear and desire fought within me like waves crashing on a rocky shore. But to my surprise, he did not want me to be his slave. He didn’t even force me to stay. He was kind, gentle and respectful.
Was this real?
Was I really here, with an incredibly sexy dragon shapeshifter, in a giant palace full of servants waiting on my every need, on a far away planet? Everyone I knew had been wiped out. This is the only reality left for me. I might as well see where this goes…

Dragon finds his mate but will she accept him
The Dragon’s Gift is the first book in the Dragon Shifters from Cendarth series. I read this book as part of the Dragon Shifters from Cendarth box set and enjoyed each of the books. This is the story of Jen and Dominic. The series is set in on Earth after it has been attacked and destroyed. She and some other women have been kidnapped and are sold to Dragon Shifters on another planet to basically be breeders. Dominic is the Crown Prince and requires a mate. When the women get there Jen decides they have nothing to lose and decides to stand up to the Dragon shifters in hopes of gaining their freedom. Dominic sees Jen and he immediately knows that she is his mate. But there is still the little matter of politics, a scorned lover and of course his father the King who sticks to the traditional ways.
Will Dominic be able to claim the woman that is his mate? Will Jen accept Dominic or will she fight?
Over all this was an good book with an interesting story-line and some nice characters, and some not so nice. It is a good start to the series and sets up the Dragon Shifters world and Earth nicely for the rest of the books.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
The Dragon’s Gift by Seth Eden and Anastasia Chase is a paranormal romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Craig A Hart.
Seth and Anastasia did an amazing job with this storyline. How can you go wrong with Alien Wolves and Dragon Shifters?!?! This is the first time reading the duo and it definitely won’t be my last.
Craig did an amazing job on the narration. He used different voices for the characters which made it easy to follow along with the story. I look forward to listening to his future projects.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance or dragon shifters.
The story begins with an attack on the planet in retaliation for an incident with astronauts on an alien planet. Most of the planet is destroyed and people slaughtered. A handful of women are kidnapped by wolf shifters to be delivered to a planet of dragon shifters. Jen was the girlfriend of one of the astronauts and will stand up to their captors, hopefully for their freedom. Dominic is the crown prince and in need of a mate. When he sees Jen he knows she’s for him. His father is old school (for dragons) in that the female chosen should be proud and has no say in the matter. Dominic doesn’t agree. I liked the interaction between the two and the fact he wanted to give Jen the choice no matter what his father wanted. There are other twists involving dragon politics and a scorned lover. The one thing that bothered me was when Jen went with Dominic, the other women that were kidnapped were no longer important to her. I look forward to the next book.
Jen couldn’t believe the day had come when her boyfriend astronaut would be back home. He’d been gone for months. When he shows up, he tries to get her to run with him. His crew found other life, and they destroyed what they thought were pups but ended up being children of space wolves. Not long after he has returned, the wolves show up & attack, intent on revenge. Boyfriend is the first to be destroyed. Jen runs for her life. She meets up with a group of women who are surviving together as they run. The group splits up when one of them blames all of this on Jen. When the group Jen is with hides in a library, they are found by the wolves thanks to the leader of the second group. Everyone in her town & Earth as a whole is destroyed except for Jen & the other 4 women in her group. They are captured & taken to their ship. When they all wake up they learn they are on their way to a planet of dragon shifters to be traded & to end up bearing their babies. Jen doesn’t want to be a slave, but the moment she lays eyes on Dom she’s attracted to him, even though she’s grieving for her loss. Dom knows he has to have her, but he refuses to force her. She’s not a slave or just there for breeding. He gives her a choice to stay & if she doesn’t want to, he will let her go. Once she accepts him, he knows it won’t take him long to fully claim her & gift her with a dragon of her own.
The story is action packed & keeps you on the edge of your seat. This story is filled with heartbreak, grieving and loss of loved ones, deception, acceptance, space royalty, steaminess, and love. It’s different from most books that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. HEA is found.
This is the story of Dom and Jen. Good storyline and interesting plot. Filled with drama and suspense. Lots of twists and turns that keeps you turning the pages. Loved the relationship between Dom and Jen. Very graphic and descriptive. Written wonderfully real. Can’t wait for the next one.

I was glued to my kindle from the very first page with the well written and well planned plot and characters that were so well detailed that I had a very hard time putting this book down!
I love that this story isn’t just gratuitous violence and whatnot. The lead female protagonist is probably one of my favorite in this genre. Strong, self aware, and smart…who isn’t going to love a character like that.

Her valiant explorer turned out to be an accidental murderer.
Interplanetary mayhem based on serious miscommunication.
Traditions that allowed for taking brides from other tribes brings much further hardship.
Love and hate, as well as loyalty and betrayal, across time, place and species.
