BLURB:

Dragon King Damari is the last dragon of his kind. After a curse killed his family, Damari is left the only one with the power to sustain his tribe. But when years go on and Damari doesn’t find his dragon mate, he must venture out into the human world, and search for other ways to protect his people.
Dumped by his boyfriend, and stuck on the world’s most exclusive resort on Chryseum Island, Miko Lannis needs help getting off…the island. He swoons along with all the other guests when he gets his first look at the domineering dragon king, Damari. He is so handsome and noble, there’s no way he could be interested in the socially awkward Miko in his frayed jeans and worn t-shirt.
Damari can’t control the pull he feels towards Miko from the first moment he spots his pastel blue hair in his office. Miko is goofy, clumsy and speaks his mind—a trait that is hard for a dragon king to find. But mostly, he makes Damari smile. If Damari didn’t know better, he would think Miko was his mate, but Miko is a human.
When Miko finds himself alone in Damari’s lair, he’s ready and willing. Except something happens that transforms their one night stand into forever.
Meanwhile, the curse that killed Damari’s family may not be finished. Damari needs to call on all his powers as the Golden Dragon King to protect his new mate and his people.

The Golden Dragon’s Unexpected Mate is the first book in The Jeweled King’s Curse series. It can be read as a standalone and should be read for entertainment purposes only. Do not attempt to recreate anything you read in this book.

REVIEW:

I’ve enjoyed all of Kiki’s books so far and this one is no different. I love her books. And adding dragons to the mix is fun! I got to read book 2 before this one, so now I’m glad to see how it all started. And it packed a punch.

Miko made me love him right off the bat. I hate his ex. Well it was his boyfriend at the start of the book, but the asshole dumped him and informed him he’d been cheating on him. His ex is a douchebag. Miko has had a rough start to life. He doesn’t trust well and has a few things he has issues with. And having that for a boyfriend….yuk. I wanted to punch him. When Miko got to Chryseum Island, I was excited to see someone pay attention to him. He seemed to be liked by someone. And then he met the King. Most everyone feared Damari, but not Miko. Not really. He was in fact, quite taken with him and his looks. Even when embarrassing himself to Damari. Miko is the cutest thing when he gets all flustered.

Damari was just as taken. In fact, he was so taken with Miko, he thought it cute and admirable when Miko stood up to him or spoke to him in ways no one else would. Damari is a tough nut though. You know Kings have this air they have to maintain, but Damari could be a right prick. Very assholish. But something about Miko tamed him. He smiled more often and finally felt alive. And he finally figured out why. One brief night with Miko turned into something he never expected. Especially with a human. And their short lived happiness turned into a nightmare for both of them.

I loved this. It packs a lot in a shorter book. Deception, betrayal, but love and hope. I, of course, am in love with sweet, little Miko. Even surrounded by alpha type buttheads, he moves forward. Albeit a little clumsily, but he does. He makes this book for me. Even being a definite fiction, Miko’s character is so realistic in his personality and characteristics.

I’m anxious to see how the rest turn out. Knowing how some things are and the evil heifer trying to mess things up.

It’s a fun read! Give it a go! Happy reading!
