Delton is convinced Adar is his mate…until Oliver shows up.
From the moment he meets Adar, Delton knows they’re meant to be together. So what if Adar doesn’t notice him? Delton isn’t in a hurry. Until Oliver joins the pack.
The second Adar lays eyes on the sweet, fragile omega, he knows he’s found his fated mate. Hell, everyone knows because Adar won’t leave Oliver’s side, protecting him 24/7. But he’s patient, more than willing to wait until Oliver has healed.
Oliver doesn’t question his connection with Adar, but things aren’t as easy as they seem. Adar has needs Oliver can never satisfy—but Delton can. But why would the beta even offer to help Adar find the release he needs through impact play?
When Oliver discovers Delton’s feelings for Adar, he’s determined to play matchmaker. But matches can lead to a fire…and with no one to control it, who will get burned?
Dragon’s Surprise is the sixth book in the Irresistible Dragons series, which needs to be read in order. This book ends on a cliffhanger, and the storyline will continue in the next book.
REVIEW:
I have been waiting for this book. Wolf shifters✔️ Dragon shifters ✔️Mixed species babies ✔️Taking out an evil father/uncle pair ✔️✔️
Delton, a beta, is sure of two things:
- joining the Hightower Pack as their Trauma Psychologist is a no-brainer with this forward thinking, accepting and progressive wolf/dragon community.
- this true mate thing is no joke and he knows Adar, the massive Alpha guard wolf shifter, is his the second they touch.
So waiting for Adar to realize it isn’t a problem. That is until the severely beaten and traumatized omega dragon shifter, Oliver from the Murphy clan, is brought in. That’s when Delton realizes that Oliver and Adar are fated mates and where does that leave him? So on he goes being the professional that is needed no matter how much working to solidify the two fate mates relationship crushes him. But, when his truth comes out, how will it affect the three men?
Oh my, my heart hurts for Delton. He is so pure and giving, especially at such costs to himself. And Adar is so blinded by his need to make sure his sweet and extremely fragile Oliver is safe that he can’t see beyond his man to all that is going on. And I loved that Oliver actually has a spine and goes after what he sees is needed. And only our Nora would put a severely traumatized rape victim with an Alpha that not only needs impact play to center him but the need to bottom for rough sex! That’s seriously the hardest couple for me to wrap my brain around that she has ever created (although all her characters immediately become real to me the moment I read them because she’s that good!) in all her books and that’s saying a lot!!! I mean, she mated an Alpha prince/king that’s a white dragon shifter with an Pack Alpha wolf shifter and made that work. But the only possible way through the Adar/Oliver mating in my mind is that our beta Oliver has to be a part of this triad/relationship to work. There simply is no other way. But I am really questioning how she’s going to pull this all off.
I was thrilled that Erwan and Rhene got through the Dragon Council in Sweden but I fear that that was just the first hurdle and there is so much more danger to come. But I was thrilled with how it all came about. There is way too much dark magic out there and the abuse/no respect of omegas with the old clans. And I hope we get more of King Fergal and Gregor. They help bloom hope for the future of the prophesy of Seamus the Librarian “The dragons will be faced with the choice between honor and betrayal, and they must choose wisely. Old alliances will be reconsidered, with implications that will impact generations to come. But when the White Dragon and the True Alpha join forces, peace will reign.” With King Fergal joining forces, for the better, with Erwan hope for peace is a possibility. But I fear that they will face major opposition from Cladhaire, Baoth, and the disgruntled Murphy Alphas.
Holy Cliffhangers! This book is so chalked full of new information along with continuing story lines that my brain was about to explode from it all. Things are coming together, prophecies are being exposed and events developing that will make them real and true but the ride to get there is far from over. And Erwan really needs his Rhene with everything that has happened so I need not a single hair on his body harmed and them back together ASAP!
Author Nora Phoenix has created such a complex and intriguing universe that has you reading so fast to get to the next page! I can’t express enough the need to read this series of books in order. Each coupling/triad has an effect on the next and are all tightly related. This intense series is a must-read in my humble opinion that you don’t want to miss! I can’t wait for the next book!!!
