Their parents died young, without telling the girls the family history. The plot centers around the family staying hidden from forces that would force them to the dark side. The guys sent to protect the girls are in for surprises of their own. This is just the beginning story, short & sweet.

Well worth reading!
Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.
Violca doesn’t know it, but she and her four sisters are being stalked. Demons are hunting them, to use their earthwitch powers. Dragons are stalking them, some to protect, some to claim for power. Panthers are stalking them as well. How does she know who to trust?
I really enjoyed this romantic adventure. Action, battles, magic, tender moments, and the unexpected keep it fast paced or totally captivate.
Characterization and the plot is well-developed, capturing personality and emotions. However, I was a bit skeptical that a ten and eleven year old would be so eager to play Candyland as it is geared towards preschoolers age 3 and up, although they act younger than their age as well.
Imagery was wonderful. I could see vividly in my mind the awesomeness and shock of the powerful blows, of seeing a man change into a dragon as big as a house right before my eyes, of the beauty of a panther in motion.

Violca Grey awoke from her dream in terror, searching her throat for wounds from the attack in the forest. She had been called to a cabin her parents used to take her to. She walked inside and her mother was there to tell her she would start to remember things, some of the memories not hers. Her mother tensed and warned her not to allow “him” to catch her. As those words were said, the cabin started to shake and her mother told her to run! She was shoved out the door and ran into the darkness as something chased close behind her. When she stumbled over a root, a man-like creature with red eyes stood above and whispered “Mine!” She heard her mother say, “Awake!” and everything went dark.
With the death of her parents, Violca had been raising her 4 sisters. The girls were unaware of their heritage as Earth witches with unique magical powers. But they either hadn’t come into those powers yet, or their mother had long ago cast a spell to hide the powers while the girls were still vulnerable. Now a demon has been sent to capture them and they will have no idea how to defend themselves.
Dragon King Viktor sent Chase Reed and were-panthers Scott and Eryk Tanner to protect the family when they found out who they were. From the moment Chase saw Violca’s picture, he recognized her as his mate. Will the shifters be able to prevent the family’s capture? Will Violca reject Chase when she discovers his secrets? Will she be able to accept that he is a dragon shifter and she is his mate?
I absolutely loved this book focusing on shifters, witches, and a nasty demon. It has an amazing plot, suspenseful and intriguing from beginning to end! The twists and turns keep the reader fully involved. The story has elements of drama, mystery, and romance to move it forward. I liked the strong yet realistically vulnerable characters. Secondary characters are perfectly placed in the story line and add to its development, and in fact will play a significant part in future books in this series. I’m looking forward to reading the next one from this author.
Loved this book. 5 sisters, 3 shifters protecting the sisters who don’t know
what they are. Paranormal mystery, danger, action, family, love and romance. All combined
to make a wonderful story and a great first in a series, which I can not wait to read.

Paranormal romances with shifters have certain tropes they follow. Usually there is a fated match, with insta-attraction and heavy lust without any build-up. Usually the romance centers on the two main characters (whether it is the traditional M-F, MM, or FF) with little world development. You can find many such lackluster epubs because the authors have to eat. Luckily, this book creates twists on every obvious trope I can think of.
In Violca’s Dragon, the story starts with a large number of characters. It seems to start in the middle of a story, as if I missed an important preview. I almost stopped there to find the earlier book. Violca is taking care of 4 younger sisters since her parents died years ago. Her life revolves around them, with no time for romance. Cue the regret. Chase is part of a Dragon Shifter group that is also like a family. You don’t need to know the backstory to like this novel, but they are searching for the special witch who can solve all their problems.
BUT twist #1: They can detect no magic from Violca.
Twist #2: Violca does not recognize the Fated Match and keeps turning Chase down.
Twist #3: One of her sisters and one of Chase’s group also have a sudden connection. Two Fated Matches? awesome.
There is a demon hunting Violca and her sisters, but I have not read that far yet. The book reads fast, but there is not enough action to keep my interest. Sorry, Leilani. I just cannot seem to want to finish the novel. And I really like the characters, especially her sister. I also was ridiculed, publicly humiliated, and dressed in oversized clothing like her sister. I really feel the pain.
But I give it 4 stars due to the romance. It’s sweet. Chase has to (get it?) chase the girl by having dates. You don’t see that often in a PNR, but now I see why. I get bored. It is the perfect romance. It is too domestic. It matches my own domestic experience with my husband. It is a slow buildup. Aargh!

ONE INTENSE READ!!!
OMG! Wow! Man, talk about being blindsided. Leilani really pulled all the stops on this bad boy. One fantastic storyline and strong plot really keep you riveted from start to finish. Such an extremely intense, palpable and explosive chemistry between the two main characters as they face unexpected trials and tribulations. Danger and suspense run rampant as secrets are revealed that will rock you to the core. Leilani nailed this bad boy and brought it roaring to life brilliantly with so much passion and imagination it leaves you in awe. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little jewel together smoothly. Remarkable job Leilani, thanks for sharing this little guy with us
This book was outstanding! Talk about a gripping novel, now this one is. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
A really good start to a new series. If you love dragons and witches with a little mate-fate thrown in you will like this one

Paranormal Romance
If you love dragon shifters, witches then I recommend that you read this book.
The hero is a dragon shifter that is commanded by his king to investigate if the heroine and her four younger sisters are the five witches that is said in a prophecy of their kind. If they are to bring them to him before the king’s younger brother finds the five witches that is in the prophecy and destroys all. The heroine is a young woman who quit college when her parents died to raise her younger sisters and never knew about her mother and her mother’s family being witches. The story ends in a HEA.
It also raised questions about her sisters, her best friends, and the hero’s best friends along with his king. All I can say is I hope the questions get answered in their own novels.

Violca and her sisters are descended from a long line of earth witches. The problem is that none of them know. Chase and a group of mixed shifters are sent to protect them. The characters are so well portrayed and vivid that this book makes a great read. The story involves treachery, demons, mating, and imprinting. This is book one in a series. Really excellent read!

This book had a nice story, decent characters. It is a steady read. It was slow to build, slow to no character building. But the author had a good way telling a story, just too slow.

An exciting book to read. After the death of their parents
Violca was the oldest. So she was left to raise her siblings.
Chase is drawn to her even though he is supposed to bring her before the Dragon King. Love finds them…

This adult tale of five orphaned girls requires a VERY long day to read and involves witches, dragons, shapeshifters, and demons (I don’t think I left anyone out) and deals with bullying and power-grabs, among other things.

This is the first book in a series I hope! I thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal romance book. Violca is raising her four younger sisters after their parents’ deaths. Chase is a dragon shifter charged with finding the last earth witches by the dragon king who is fighting a rebellion led by his brother. The girls are not aware they are earth witches until Violca finds a book their mother buried in the yard. The power hungry dragons and demons try to kidnap the girls so they can use their powers to find the ruby stone. A series of nail biting situations beset the girls. Violca and Chase work together to keep them safe and to get their HEA.
