Paranormal Dragonshifter Romance
An unlucky bride..
Riona Grey lives life on her own terms, traveling wherever the next spaceship is flying and doing what she must in order to get by. When her luck turns sour, she finds herself on a bridal ship heading to a marriage ceremony. A planet full of dragon shifters seeking mates wasn’t exactly what she had in mind as a final destination. Just when she … destination. Just when she thinks things couldn’t possibly get worse, she wakes up months later in an isolation chamber with a sexy, hovering dragon shifter by her side telling her they’re meant to be together…forever.
The impatient groom…
After years of failed marriage attempts at the Breeding Festivals, the gods finally revealed Lord Mirek’s bride…a day too late. Eager to have her, he defied tradition and laid claim. But it is a mistake to go against the gods and his new wife was the one to pay the price of his impatience.
Now almost a year later, his bride is finally waking from her deep sleep. With one look from her, he feels the eagerness to claim her overtaking him once more. Fearful she’ll slip through his grasp once again, he’s hesitant to anger the gods by taking her to his bed too soon. But, how can he resist the one thing that would make his life complete, especially when she looks at him with eyes of a seductress? This is one test he can’t fail, and yet with one of her sweet kisses he knows he may already have lost.
This book is intended for adults.

We have waited so long for Mirek’s story. And it was amazing. I think this is one of my favorites.
Riona is finally awake after months of being in a coma. Of course she doesn’t believe she is married and puts poor Mirek through the ringer. Riona didn’t feel she brought anything to her match with Mirek, not like she saw in all the other brides. But as she began to “work ” for Mirek, she finally realized she had a lot to offer.
Some parts made me giggle, like the nesting scene. Totally cracked me up. This book was a great ending to this part of the story arc.

The twists and surprises in this storyline had me hooked from the beginning. Mirek is an ambassador who deals with foreign contracts and people. Riona is a rogue and gambler who owes a lot of money. Hiding, she boards a ship with her sister – a bridal ship. Her sister marries the best friend of Mirek, but Mirek is still looking. When she goes into an allergic coma due to a plant on the planet, Mirek scouts everywhere for someone who can heal her.
The characters are unique and well done, with great backstories and intense feelings. The storyline has many twists and turns along the way to them working together and her becoming a great planetary asset. Suspense is always at the back with the people that she owes coming for her. The anticipation and unknown future is fantastic. Totally enjoyed the book and the ending was great. Very well done.

This is Book 8 in the Dragon Lords Qurilixen World series. I have read all the previous books and looked forward to this one, and I was not disappointed. Riona Grey lives life on her own terms going where she pleases when she finds herself on a bridal ship flying to a marriage ceremony. Not quite what she was expecting. Lord Malik has been attending these marriage festivals for years with no success now the Gods reveal his bride…..but a day too late. However, Malik defies tradition and goes ahead and claims her but it is his bride who pays for his impatience. An enjoyable and well written story in which will get swept away as you follow Riona and Malik on their journey to a happy ending.

Gambling on Love
Michelle M. Pillow’s eighth book in her ‘Dragon Lords’ series is surpassing her previous records. Mirek and Riona, the main characters, of course in this story has that crystal glowing, love attraction going on. But usually the female plays hard to get and it’s awhile before the couple makes a love connection. In this book Riona is not shy and is the sexual aggressor. I really enjoyed this book. It was not only romantic but had some humor too. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
This book 8 in the Qurilixen Lords, Dragon Lords Book Series is an interesting, steamy, standalone full-length, shifter Romance with a tough, rugged and sexy alpha male and an independent bride. This well constructed book has wonderful characters who are well crafted with amazing personalities. This was an engaging story with depth, personality, and intriguing world construction. The characters in this book are very well crafted with problems which they overcome and the characters grow in the story. A must read story

The eighth book in the Dragon Lords series a well written story with a very good storyline, I was not putting this book down until I had finished reading it. Riona Grey and dragon shifter Lord Mirek’s story, there is suspense, drama, twists, turns, villains, and romance. I want to read the next book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a sweet romance with a heroine who doesn’t think she can have a family and home, and a hero who has been waiting years for nothing more. Without getting into spoilers, Riona and her sister Aeron arrive at the Qurilixen marriage ceremony in an attempt to save the planet but end up finding a new home. Riona has responded to the destruction of her own planet and people (and some confusion about her genetics) by attempting to have all the adventures others could not have, and not allowing herself to risk love. However, Mirek and Riona don’t find each other until the day after the ceremony, and then Riona (in what I will say was a rather confusing plotline) ends up in a lengthy coma. When she does finally wake up from her coma and get caught up on what has happened, the story is a nice twist on others in the series. Riona dives into some aspects of marriage with amusing enthusiasm but is hesitant to believe they are really married and it can last. Mirek is extremely patient, and everything works out- though I will say that Riona’s shift from convinced they couldn’t be together to all in was a little abrupt. However I was just happy that they both get the happy ending they didn’t think was possible!
I love the dragon lords series and this book was no different. Good characters and a good story. I recommend 🙂
It was about time we had Mirek and Ri’s book!!!
I’ve been waiting for it for 4 books now and i really wanted to read it and it didn’t disappoint me at all.
It was as wonderful as i imagined it would be..
Riona is fiesty and loves to live in danger
Mirek is responsible and somewhat reserved
The story is entairtaining to read and has its emotional up and down and the right amount of spicyness.

I’ve been looking forward to this book (though I DID read them in order!) due to Riona’s larger than life personality. Riona is an adventurer, a gambler, and a survivor. But when her staid, rule-abiding sister Aeron needs her help, Riona pulled any trick she could to get her to the planet Qurilixen. But things don’t go as expected, and the free-spirited Riona finds herself bound to the handsome Lord Mirek. Will the love of a husband, her sister, and the sense of belonging to a family trump Riona’s thirst for adventure and urge to live life to the fullest? Can Mirek protect Riona from past failures? If you like romantic, fast-paced fantasy with steam, I recommend that you read this book and find out!.
This is the 5-star story of Riona and Mirek. Riona has just lost a bet of fifty-thousand space credits to Range because of her sister, Aeron. Aeron needs Riona’s help in saving the planet Qurilixen. They need to find a way to get to Qurilixen and Riona finds the only spaceship going there. Only to get on it is to sign up as brides. Things do not go as Riona plans once they are on Qurilixen. When Aeron gets picked as a bride, she goes off with the man and Riona waits for her to come back. When she doesn’t, Riona goes and looks for her. She is found by Mirek and his crystal starts glowing. She is caught by his green eyes. He takes her to Queen Mede, his aunt, and gets her blessing. She tells him to proceed and he hands Riona his crystal to break. This is the first part of the marriage. They don’t get to the second part because something happens to Riona and she is really sick. Mirek has not been able to talk to her or hold her in months because if he touches her, it causes her pain. Her skin is blistered and peeling and she has been in a coma-like state. Once she wakes up, things between them do not go well. Riona sees her sister and finds out she is pregnant and gets upset over the news. She thinks that it is going to kill her sister. She finds out that all that she has been told her whole life has been just a way to keep kids from her race from fooling around with each other. Once this is proved correct, she wants Mirek. She tells him that she wants him but she is not going to stay there since she has a bet she has to pay off. Mirek offers to pay it but she tells him no. He instead offers her a job helping him with his work. He has to make an order for chocolate and it takes a long time to do. With Riona’s help, it is done in just a few minutes. Mirek is impressed with how quickly she had done it. Riona and Mirek are at his brother’s house, having dinner with all his brothers and cousins and their pregnant wives. Riona is feeling uncomfortable with how the wives are being treated. She has feelings for Mirek but doesn’t feel like she is right for him. He sees that she is upset and he goes to her and tells her about a new client that wants to work out a contract for the ore they mine. This meeting is nothing but a trap to get to Riona. Range, the man that she owes fifty-thousand space credits to has gotten with someone else to get her. There is a game she must play and if she wins, her debit is over with, but if she doesn’t win, Mirek will lose ore and money. At first, things are not going her way and then Range gets upsets and upset the game. Riona has wondered what has happened to Mirek and when he is brought into the room, she sees that something has happened to him. When Range hits her over something she said to him, Mirek shifted into his dragon. Range is told that the game must be played until the end. New rules are issued and Range is not happy with them. When Range gets upset, he does something and forfeits so Riona wins. She and Mirek leave Range and she never turns her back on him.
Will Riona now stay with Mirek since she doesn’t have to worry about Range coming after her?
This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Entertaining series with some sweet and steamy romance! I enjoy the alien aspect; learning about the different alien types and their traditions. The whole mates thing is one of my favorites, but I wish the mates seemed a bit more important in this series; the heroines tend to always deny it and just be all around annoying about being mated. In this one, Riona, who has been in a coma for the previous books in the series, gets her time at romance with Mirek. Of course, Mirek is all in for being mates with Riona, but Riona has some misgivings. Good steam and connection between them though! Overall; a fun read!
Happy Ever After for All
I enjoyed Riona and Mirek’s story; the feel of it was quite different from the other books in this series, since Mirek is the ambassador and hence doesn’t hold so tightly to his beliefs. I liked how Riona’s “worldliness” became her marketable skill, and how well the two complemented each other. This series was a great set of stories – worthy of a re-read!
I read this a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed it. I decided to reread several of the books in this series. They are so very good! Michelle Pillow is such a talented world builder! I feel transported to this world. I recommend that you read the series in order, but each novel could be read stand alone. We meet Mirek and Riona in earlier books and I was excited to get to their story. I loved how loving and patient Mirek was as Riona learned how to trust in love.
