Publisher's summary

They were drawn to one another by an attraction that neither could comprehend. Nor resist.

Holden has come to Earth as one of the last of his kind. Dedicated to raising one of the dragon babies left behind by his slain queen, he must acclimate to this strange new planet in order to succeed.

Humans prove to be odd creatures, but one blue-eyed beauty compels him in ways he’s never experienced. Their paths cross often, and he can barely keep his inner dragon in check when she’s nearby. The fierce need to protect her completely takes over, and he knows he must have her.

After a year of separation, Leah’s divorce from her cheating ex is final. She’s relieved, but finds the stress of everything has compromised her psychic abilities, which she relies on to keep a roof over her head.

She knows she just needs time, and pushing forward with her new life as a single woman sounds like the perfect solution. But when she keeps running into the same mysterious, gorgeous stranger, Leah’s plan to write off men proves to be harder than she thought.

With her reluctance to start a new relationship and Holden’s secret, will these two find a way to be together as fate intends them to be?

Please note: Steamy shifter scenes inside! Suitable for listeners 18 and above.

Holden's Mate!

Another great story from Meg Ripley! I really enjoyed this captivating story and could not put it down. The narrator did a great job reading as well. This might be my favorite story from her to date. It's a fairly quick read or listen and definitely worth the time. I thought it was well written and I loved Holden and Leah. They are great together. Definite chemistry and passion between these two. I loved everything about this story especially the ending.

Fantastic!

What a fantastically written storyline. This book is a great start to a new series. I definitely enjoyed listening to this audiobook.
The narrator does a fabulous job with the characters and voices of each character which makes it easy to distinguish between characters. She has a fantastic voice that makes the story come to life.

Really good to be so short

Okay so for how short it is this is a really good story. I hope the next books are longer so we can get more back story and plot from them. The narration was good so that a plus. Bad narration can kill a book.

Who knew dragon's have BIG.....hearts?

I thoroughly enjoy a paranormal romance. It seems dragons have moved their way up my list of creatures I would not have thought could make my heart pound in a good way.

The characters were well developed with a storyline that captured my heart.
To escape and lose so much but to find someone special to fill the void is a win win for me.
Meg Ripley knows how to capture the reader's attention along with making you want to come back for more.
Well written and extremely enjoyable.
Almost forgot to mention that I listened to this book on audible books and it was very well done.

Awesome Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Enjoyable

Wow, I loved this book, it is well written with interesting and original storylines. Meg Ripley is a gifted author with a creative and imaginative mind, she blends fantasy and realism in this book making the story and its characters easy to relate to. Dragon shifters from another planet have settled on earth they are adjusting to the human lifestyle and are searching for a mate. Each of the shifters are raising dragon babies, possible the last of their kind. I just loved these shifters, they have a great temperament and are super hot, especially Holden. Leah is a psychic who’s divorce just went through, she is not interested in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. But she gives Holden a chance, the chemistry between them is smoking hot but Leah can see he is hiding something. With her trust issues she can not get further involved with him. But Holden will not give up, he knows she is his intended mate. I loved how much story is in this novella sized book, it is enjoyable and entertaining and there is never a dull moment. I am looking forward to what comes next in the “Daddy Dragon Guardians” series. Thank you Meg Ripley for another awesome book.

Elle Sonali is a terrific narrator and voice artist. She does a great job portraying the characters, bringing them to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she captures and projects the characters emotions into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Great Story and Narration 💕

The narration was utter perfection, it really brought the book to life in a thrilling and passionate way.

There is the perfect amount of angst and romance to keep you hooked.

I loved how their relationship unfolded so we could see these amazing characters grow in ways you never expected.

I would suggest picking up a copy asap, you will not be disappointed.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
