Book Summary:

Kiiro’s family is perfect. Her realm is the picture of peace. But when she unlocks the wrath of their Ancient deity, she is cursed to live as the First Dragon, a reality that frightens everyone around her. Except for Neander. And of course except for those who she’s already eaten. The dead can’t really complain, can they?

Jump into this wild ride of a fantasy romance! Laugh, feel, cry, and laugh again as you find out you too have always been a Dragon.

This story is a standalone within the First Collection and the series can be read in any order. Reading Paths are available within each story so you're not lost as you devour each epic tale of love and fearless magic.

My Thoughts:

Let's start with the cover. I don't like it. If I was to see this at the bookstore I would not pick it up. As for the story, I didn't fall in love with it at the start. Reading felt like I was missing parts of the story at times. But by the middle Kiiro and Neander had reeled me in. They had me rooting for them to end up together by the end. I feel the story could use a little more world-building but all in all I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to others. If you like dragons and romance this could be for you.

P.S. I'll definitely be checking out the other books in the collection.

Book Summary:

She was always meant to be mine.

My status as one of the league’s superstars means I can have any woman I want. Puck bunnies line up at the chance to score with a hockey player.

There’s just one problem . . . the only woman I want is off-limits.

No woman can compare to Natalie Remington—at least not the perfect version of her I’ve created in my mind.

Until I laid eyes on her, I didn’t believe in love at first sight. One smile from her and I was a goner.

Too bad for me, she’s already taken—married to a prince.

I tried to forget about her.

Until . . . one day, she showed up on my doorstep, and everything changed.

Now, my dream girl is within reach, and I’m getting a taste of what life at her side might look like. It’s better than I ever imagined.

The shadow cast by her toxic ex-husband is hard to shake, but I’m determined to show Natalie how she deserves to be loved.

I’ve racked up a lot of accomplishments over the course of my career, but one goal trumps them all: scoring the princess.

My Thoughts:

I fell in love with Scoring the Princess right from the start. Who doesn't love a princess?  I enjoyed the main characters Natalie and Jaxon. They had sparks right from the start. But I also enjoyed the sub-characters Hannah, Amy, and Liam they really added to the whole story. Adding fun and entertainment. Jaxon did an amazing job of romancing Natalie and her children into falling in love with him. 

If you love hockey and romance this may be the book for you!

P.S. I'm looking forward to book two: Playing Pretend with the Prince releasing November 14, 2023.
