Book Review: The Dragon God's Mate by Harlow Blaze

 

Book Description

In The Beginning, Atlas Created The Dragon Shifters. He Made One Tiny Mistake.

Atlas

As the all-male dragons teeter on the brink of extinction, Atlas hatches a plan. Fragments of his divine soul could transform humans into dragon mates.

He’s missing one ingredient—someone to help cast his spell.

As soon as Atlas sees the stunning young woman in Central Park, his inner beast knows she’s the one. 

It’s a little medieval, but he is a god, after all. If he can’t kidnap the odd maiden, then what’s the point?

But Zoe’s call to his instincts is dangerously strong. Atlas longs to claim her, but he has to stay focused. Saving his race is more important than the tempting human in his lair. 

Zoe

All Zoe wanted was to experience some magic and have a family of her own. Instead, she’s left nursing a major broken heart. 

After dealing with a cheating shifter fiancĂ©, she’s done with asshole dragons. She needs to stay the hell out of his way, but when your angry ex can fly, it adds a whole new dimension to lying low.

Enter Atlas—arrogant, sinfully sexy, and in serious need of ground rules about casual nudity. 

A divine baby-making experiment isn’t a good avoidance strategy, but Zoe could never resist a little magic. Besides, a god makes a great bodyguard.

But when the spell has unintended side effects, things get hotter than she bargained for.



My Review

Zoe hadn't been treated very well by the dragon shifter she had been dating. So when he cheated on her with another shifter so his kids would be shifters like their mother, she's wasn't too happy and now he wouldn't leave her alone. 

Atlas created the shifters but they were missing something so when he decided to make some changes he needed a human's help and he happened to pick Zoe. When Atlas kidnaps her and asks for her help, it takes a few questions before she's ready to trust what he says. Atlas is a dragon shifter so she's not willing to trust him right away. 

Atlas wants to make it so that humans and dragons can mate and have kids because the dragon's numbers are dwindling so before dragon shifters become extinct, he makes it so human females can be dragon mates. But Zoe also wants him to make it so there's a little bit of human in the dragons as well and he agrees. Then he sets the plan in motion but doesn't realize that he and Zoe are going to get caught up in the magic they created and become  mates. 

Atlas isn't used to humans even though he's lived among them for so long. He's been alone a very long time and he's lonely and bored even though he didn't realize how much until he met Zoe. She shows him parts of her world and he in turn shows her parts of his, all the while their animal instincts bring them closer together. 

It was fun watching these two total opposites fall for each other. I love a good dragon or shifter romance and this was so much fun to read. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
