Read the series and enjoyed them immensely. Hope their is follow-up.
This was an interesting take on forbidden romance, and family obligations. It was wonderful seeing how preconceived ideals can be broken with the love if the right person. My favorite in this series is still the first one.
I really liked this book, read the first one in the series too. I am eagerly awaiting the rest if the books in this series
Dr. Tobias Winthrop is a caring pediatric surgeon in Chicago. He’s also Gabriel’s brother, a refugee dragon from Paragon. His need to cling to a “normal” life is greatly challenged when one of the nurses at the hospital kisses him one night and he realizes she’s not fully human, either. Sabrina is hybrid vampire: half-human/half vamp and destined to become queen of her coven as her father’s heir. But when Gabriel and Raven arrive in Chicago in the hopes of becoming a tighter family before their upcoming wedding, danger lurks around all four of them from several different angles. Each will be forced to face their responsibilities head-on if they have any hope of survival. I found this book to be a wonderful companion to the first in the series and eagerly look forward to the third.
The second book in this series, and I have to say, I think I like this one even better than the first one. Could it be because it’s set in Chicago – and the aptly subscribed frigid winter? Probably not, but it didn’t hurt that it’s set in a city I love and go to whenever I get a chance. In book one, The Dragon of New Orleans, we met Gabriel and Raven. This outing, we are getting to know Gabriel’s brother Tobias, whom we did meet in book one. This dragon world that the author has created, has grown in leaps and bounds in this installment. Tobias has lived his life as a human doctor for centuries, denying his dragon, keeping it under tight control. Until a nurse – the human-vampire hybrid Sabrina – is put in danger and his dragon demands release to protect his “mate.”
Gabriel and Raven are back to help Tobias, and there is so much emotional growth from Tobias – that the reader is glued to the pages as they all become a family and fight for each other. The danger, suspense and romance kept me up late into the night, and makes me wish for a dragon of my own. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Book 2 in The Treasure of Paragon Series continues where book 1 leaves off. The museum scene alone is worth the price of admission. If you haven’t discovered Genevieve Jack, you are missing out.
Poor Tobias! He has been existing among humans for a long time, without raising any suspicions as to his dragon side. Into his life come Raven and Gabriel seeking his help, again, and full of alarming news he cannot believe. Now, I have come to the conclusion that where Raven and Gabriel go, trouble follows.
To top everything else, the feelings he has had for Sabrina over the years has now blossomed into full love after just one stolen kiss. Little did he know that Sabrina is a half human and half vampire. Not only that, she is about to be crowned leader of her coven. This is a serious issue when there are those vampires who will not sit by quietly while a woman is raised to be their leader. Top that with their archaic rules that vampires in her coven will not allow any shapeshifters in the City.
The City of Chicago (and its tunnels!) will never be the same to me. Who knew we have a coven of vampires living and controlling the City right under our roads and homes! The writing is so believable, I promise you, the next time workers tear into our streets here (which will be any day now with Spring in the air) I will certainly try to get them to share their “underground” experiences with me.
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
This was a really good read, I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as its predecessor but that was mainly to do with the central characters who I didn’t take to quite as much as Raven and Gabriel, but more of that later.
This was great it followed on nicely from “The Dragon of New Orleans” this also seemed to have more of an urban fantasy than a paranormal feel to it which was slightly different from book one.
This was told from multiple viewpoints and it was great to catch up with past characters.
This is a series that does need to be read in order as there is an ongoing story arc flowing throughout.
So this one centres on the brother Tobias who we were introduced to previously and Sabrina a human/vampire hybrid who is the sole heir to her vampire coven in Chicago.
Both these two are human carers Tobias a doctor and Sabrina a nurse but as individual personalities, I really wasn’t much of a fan.
Tobias did eventually grow on me but I did find Sabrina much more of a hard sell.
Tobias is meticulous, extremely black and white and very single-minded, I also didn’t like the way he seemed to be pining after Sabrina and felt she held all the cards (and used them) in this partnership.
sabrina at times for me came across as quite self-serving and selfish and I didn’t really take to her at all.
So thank god for the inclusion of Gabriel and Raven they saved the day here for me love these two so much.
I also really liked where this eventually went in terms of story progression and the next instalment here looks super interesting as well.
This has lots to recommend it and though it didn’t quite have the same impact on me as book one did I still very much enjoyed myself and am onboard and looking forward to the next thrilling instalment in this imaginative series.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Windy City Dragon (The Treasure of Paragon, #2).

This author has another fantastic book in this series! I absolutely loved The Dragon of New Orleans but this book, I believe is even better. In this book you meet Tobias, who is Gabriel‘s brother, and Sabrina. Tobias is a doctor and the complete opposite of Gabriel whilst Sabrina is a nurse that works at the hospital with Tobias. One day when Sabrina kisses Tobias their worlds irrevocably change. Tobias can no longer deny the call of the dragon and Sabrina has her own secrets. Please, please bring on the third installment of the series!!
The Windy City Dragon blew right into my heart!

The Windy City Dragon is Tobias’ tale. Tobias is an intelligent, logical perfectionist, a firm believer in rules, pediatric cardiologist, and most all…he has been living as a human for many years, refusing to acknowledge or release his dragon.
Sabrina, caring, nurturing, intelligent and strong, and a pediatric nurse with a secret. One that quickly becomes unveiled when the human-vampire hybrid decides she is going to kiss the good doctor and then erase his memory of it…only one thing, she can’t erase a dragon’s memory and that kiss sticks with both of them.
This story had a different FMC / MMC dynamic in my opinion. Tobias is not the aggressive fighter, he is not the most alpha, he is not in line to be the ruler of paragon. He is more logical, thoughtful, and felt more beta than alpha, that is…until he’s in protector mode and then he discovers a whole new side of himself.
Sabrina was the strongest character in this book, and it was refreshing to have a strong female lead. I appreciated that Sabrina didn’t change herself, her views, or beliefs just because she met a man and fell in love. She has a path that she must follow and that will come first and Tobias is going to just have to be there to back her up… FANTASTIC!
Gabriel and Raven are back and more of their story unfolds. Tobias has many issues to come to grips with, who he is, Paragon, Sabrina, and his relationship and beliefs towards Gabriel and Raven. Tobias will need to let his staunch and rigid beliefs go in order to be there for Gabriel and Raven and he will need to let his dragon out to protect Sabrina.
Once again, I was captivated by the fantasy, storyline, and characters in this book. My only focus was getting to the HEA and learning more about Paragon and the siblings. This was another fantastic addition to the series, and I look forward to Rowan’s story, the baby sister of 8 dragon brothers. I just know she is going to be one tough cookie!
I definitely recommend and will keep reading this series!
So much upheaval. Loved the book. Mostly because we see the faves form the previous book, Gabriel and raven. And learn more about them. Tobias and Sabrina have just as much of an uphill battle as they did. Vampire princess set to rule the coven mated to a dragon is forbidden. So many ups and downs with people out to steal her crown and then people who are sent to kill raven and Gabriel. Plus the surprise!!! But omg the epilogue. Wtf?!? Need the next book.
enjoyed reading this original story with lots of twists and turns. Sabrina and Tobias are great characters and Tobias’ relatives really add to the fun.
It was good, thanks
I loved everything about this book. In fact I read the others in the series one right after the other. Delightful read, indulge yourself.
I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first. Characters from the first book were present and I enjoyed the storyline. My problem is, I’m just not a vampire fan. The author put them in this story and because I enjoyed the first book I decided to read this one. But, the vampire situation turned me off and I lost a lot of interest. When the next book comes out I’ll think twice before that read.
