Tired of overprotective dragon-shifters, Gabriela Santos decides she wants to lose her virginity to a human male via the Tahoe area dragon lottery. After years of trying, she’s finally selected as one of the participants. Of the hundreds of humans who want to be with her, it’s the male staring at the ceiling who catches her eye. And after a bit of honesty and insight into why he’s there, she … picks him. However, soon one kiss changes her future forever.
Only to try and forget his cheating ex-wife does Ryan Ford agree to enter the dragon lottery. He has no expectations of the dragonwoman walking the aisles to pick him. However, when his mind wanders and he stares lost in thought, the dragon lady calls him out on it and refreshes him with her straightforward manner and wit. Add in the instant spark between them, and Ryan agrees to sleep with her to try to give her a baby. But then one kiss brings out her inner dragon, and Ryan quickly learns that he’s her true mate and has to accept a frenzy or try running away.
As the pair come to terms with their fate, they soon start falling for one another. But when someone targets Ryan, will he survive and find a way for them to be together? Or will he have to leave both Gabriela and his unborn child to stay alive?
NOTE: This is a quick, steamy standalone story about fated mates and sexy dragon-shifters near Lake Tahoe in the USA. You don’t have to read all my other dragon books to enjoy this one!

Thoroughly enjoying this series.
I am loving these American Dragons. Meet Gabriela, a female dragon from the PineRock Clan of the Tahoe Dragons. She is tired of the overbearing, ultra-protective and decision-making male dragons. She is not interested in a dragon, period. She wants a human.
Secretly, she has been entering the Dragon Lottery for years. Her brother was chosen and found his true mate. Now it is Gabriela’s turn. She wants to find a man, have a child. Her dragon is in complete agreement.
Ashley Swift, the American Department of Dragon Affairs has welcomed all the male participants. Reminding them of the rules and that they applied for and passed the screenings. It is time for those to leave without penalty that are unsure. A few leave.
How do you choose? There are men of all sizes, shapes and ethnicities. Those that are looking at the clock? Maybe not those men… focus!
Ryan Ford, is man in his mid-thirties, with dark hair. He is a twin, but his twin seduced and stole his wife two years prior. His sister, Tiffany thought this might be a good thing to help him move on with his life. He sits in the ballroom contemplating the ceiling and sighing about choices.
Gaby sees a man staring at the ceiling and is intrigued. She walks over to him and asked if he were bored. Both she and the dragon take note that he is honest with her.
She announced that she wants Ryan Ford. Will this work out? Humans are different than dragons. So much intrigue and action.
This is another page turner with delightful dragons and intriguing characters. I want MORE American Tahoe Dragons.
Enjoyable and entertaining read and a great addition to the series. I will say that in this novella that we got more getting to know you entry unlike the other book in the series. Even though they did rush off to have sex first overall it was a good 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.
Gaby & Ryan
Instead of human women volunteering to have dragon shifter babies, one lottery in Tahoe allows human men to volunteer to be fathers to dragon shifters. Gaby hopes a human male will give her a baby without all of the over-kill protection she gets from her male-dominated family. The chances of finding a true mate this way are too high. Or are they?
Ryan wasn’t actually looking for a relationship. Still, he promised his little sister he would. He had good reason not to trust human females. Could a dragon shifter be different?
While a shorter story, it is filled with love, humor, danger, and characters I loved from the beginning. Ryan may not be born with the same strength as a dragon shifter but his loyalty, charm, and love are dragon-strong. She is amazing as well with the same traits. They both have surprises coming as does the reader.
The author has given we fans another dragon clan to fall for and I have for sure. Don’t miss the Tahoe Dragon stories.
