About this ebook

Part two in the exciting epic fantasy romance serial trilogy, Rogue Dragon Rising.

As the day of her awakening nears, Amari Hawke struggles to control the beast inside her. Basking in the energy of the approaching Trinity moon, her animal’s strength has increased to the point it can control Amari’s mind and body. Fearing she is about to slip into madness, Amari is forced into a tough choice.

In a desperate attempt to save Amari and her beast, Jaxon Blackthorn encourages his cadre, the men in his trusted circle, to establish mental links with her, but when his plans fail and Amari’s animal exerts control, he must fight for the beautiful woman who is lost to her beast.

Together, can Amari and Jaxon’s developing bond for each other overcome the urges driving Amari’s animal as they also thwart an unseen enemy vying to keep them apart?

Please note: Sleeping Dragon Stirs ends in a cliffhanger. The third book in the serial trilogy, Alpha Dragon Awakes, provides a satisfying conclusion to Jaxon and Amari’s story, but broader story arcs continue into the Outside the Veil series. Alpha Dragon Awakes also contains sensual dream sequences with reverse harem inferences.

Ratings and reviews

its getting good. The last book looks a bit short to tie up the other intriguing stories running along side. so I am hoping the author is gonna give resolution after resolution 🙂

Holy heck! This series just keeps getting better! While Amari is still in the dark as to her designation, what her animal is, her confidence builds in the face of the dangerous dragons that surround her. She stands up for herself in the face of Jaxon’s formidable nature and yet quakes at the desire he arouses in her. Living in confusion and fear of what will happen upon transition, an event at Jaxon’s homestead causes her to question her very sanity. Jaxon is more determined than ever to save Amari as her transition looms before them. His soul focus is on preventing her from going rogue and what steps he will have to take to ensure that doesn’t happen. With the assistance of his cadre he begins with her mental communications, or lack thereof. As bit by bit is slowly revealed of her true nature he knows that she is his mate no matter what animal she harbors within. Amari’s character continues to grow and I loved that even as she was at such a huge disadvantage, she stood up for what she wanted. When even more of her innate nature is revealed I cheered her on despite the edge of sadness and despair that were present within the storyline. My heart hurt for her as well for her lost memories and her uncertainties. She’s a pretty perfect heroine in my opinion. Vulnerable and yet filled with strength when needed. As Jaxon remains true to his protective, possessive and sometimes jealous tendencies, he is so very sweet as he recognizes the gentle touch or prod that Amari needs. He could easily bulldoze his way in to find what he wants, but he has her best interest at heart and refuses to do the unthinkable simply to quench his own selfishness. I also loved the connection he had with his cadre and the complete loyalty they shared together. This book is so beautifully written. With the richness of this author’s words to showcase the world these characters live in, as well as intense development between the hero and heroine as well as Jaxon’s cadre, I was completely swept up in this story. There was no way I was going to put this book aside for any reason. It ends on a cliffhanger with so much left unanswered and new drama on the horizon. Although I’ll be so freaking happy to get that final installment, I’m going to actually be sad for this story to end. I can’t recommend this book enough to anyone who enjoys shifters/dragons, possessive heroes and strongly developed heroines.

this book was really well writen easy to read and get into

About the author

As a child, TJ thrived in the Arizona desert. By the age of five she was riding horses through cotton fields, and by eleven, bought her first motorcycle. Growing up with teachers as parents meant traveling during the summer. Hiking, backpacking, fly fishing, climbing pyramids, surviving earthquakes, and flying in hot air balloons were just some of her adventures. An avid day dreamer, she would lose herself in mystical worlds and far off places limited only by her imagination.

Her debut novel, Caller of Light, a high fantasy romance, was dedicated to her mother who died of ovarian cancer. Following the success of Caller, she entered the realm of vampires and cops. Using her experience as a police officer and felony crimes prosecutor, she applied a realistic background to the paranormal world she created for Divergent Bloodline.

In the Outside the Veil series, TJ returns to her first love, high fantasy romance.

TJ writes from her heart by incorporating her dreams and experiences to create strong, passionate characters who must overcome personal flaws to survive against the challenges of traversing through magical realms, undiscovered planets, and apocalyptic catastrophes.
