The Hunted by Lola Gabriel is the first book in the Order of the Protectorate series. This book begins when a young girl named Brooke watches her parents get killed by the Dragon Queen Alexandria. A queen of the dragon species who Brooke’s parents had spent their entire lives protecting. This event causes Brooke to leave her little mountain town of Pengle with her Uncle Steve and not return until she is able to take revenge on the dragons and their queen, Alexandria, who murdered her parents. This is the beginning of an enchanting tale that begins with Brook seeking revenge but ends up finding love and forgiveness for the past instead. This book is an entertaining read that I was hooked by in the very first chapter. The female main character Brooke is a strong decisive woman who is willing to compromise when needed but strong enough to fight for those she cares about no matter what species they are. I really loved this romantic fairy tale like story about a shapeshifting dragon and his human love. The Hunted is a wonderful tale about revenge, forgiveness, and love.
Brooke sees her parents being killed. Her parents are protectors of dragons, but the queen of the dragons is the murderer. It leaves a deep-rooted hatred at Brooke. When she is mature and trained by her uncle, she goes hunting for the dragon queen. Before she reaches the queen she crosses the path with Adonis, the son of Alexandria. Then she finds out that he is her true mate.
A short but sweet story in which true love wins from everything that is bad in the world

When Brooke saw the queen of the dragons kill her parents she vowed revenge and went from being a dragon protector to a hunter. When Adonis a dragon shifter is to protect his mother the queen from the hunter he gets a whiff of her scent and realizes she’s his mate. These two go through so much in this short read.

The twists and turns this story went on had me turning the pages anxious to find out what would happen next.

The story showed the problem with long drawn out war. Both sides suffered so much loss and the justice exercise by both sides just add more loss and pain to the people of both sides.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. The Hunted by Lola Gabriel is a stand alone quick read that is an action packed and steamy (Mature Readers Only Please). This book kept me flipping pages with a story that I thought had good balance and characters with chemistry that sizzled. Brooke and Adonis are an unlikely pair that fate has destined for one another, but what would a good romance be without strife and angst?! This is a good Saturday morning read!

Make love instead of war. Brooke and Adonis bring warring factions together to live in harmony. This was a short story about dragon haters and dragons getting revenge. Brook’s parents were protectors of the dragons against an order that wanted to eradicate them. Brooke always thought she would follow in her parent’s footsteps. Then when she was about fourteen, she saw the dragon queen tear apart and kill her parents for no apparent reason. She vowed to return as an adult and get revenge. She trains for years and when she finally has her chance, she hesitates, instead of killing the queen’s son Adonis. Now the dragons know she is out there, they find her, put her in the dungeon and repeatedly torture her. But she might have an ally in Adonis. She is his mate and he will do anything for her, even defy his mother. Secrets from the past are revealed to Brooke about the events of her parent’s deaths, but the dragon queen has turned into a revengeful, mean woman, with no sympathy for anyone, even her son. How will Brooke and Adonis ever escape? I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Brooke was raised to protect the dragons until the night she saw the Queen murder her parents. Filled with bitter hatred over the betrayal, she trains to become a hunter. The dragons, angry about betrayal, vowed to kill every last member of the Protectorate. Adonis, the Queen’s son, comes across Brooke’s scent in the woods and knows nothing will be the same ever again. The Hunted is an exciting story filled with suspense, betrayal, and the promise of love. I recommend this novel.

This is an interesting short story with strong characters in Brooke and Adonis. The author does a great job developing their story and moving it quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed watching them work together and finding each other along the way. I enjoyed reading their story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
A great read. However, I’d have to say it was more of a short story. I enjoyed both the characters and the storyline. Brooke and Adonis had to understand they were not their parents. Once they do, then work together, two races might just be brought together. I’m not sure if this is going to be a series, but I will keep my eyes open. Personally, I think it has potential to go places.
