About this ebook

You know things are bad on Earth when you’re the president’s daughter and becoming a concubine to an alien dragon shifter seems like your best option…

Helena Marshfield made a big mistake. But making it right puts her life in danger. She’s forced to flee and become the concubine of the Draconian prince. She never expects to be attracted to the “dragon man,” and has no intention of making the relationship real.

Prince T’mar has no wish to consort with a human. Unfortunately, his father, the king, decrees he must accept her, his dragon mistakes her for their mate, and worse, the flame-haired female stirs his desires. Still, he intends to deposit her at the palace and fly away.

But when powers on Earth draw them back into the line of fire, will their unexpected, unwanted burning attraction be the one thing that can save them?

Ratings and reviews

YOU’RE MY MATE—YOU’RE THE ONE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR The story is a continuation after Under Fyre, and now King K’rah has demanded another tribute, a concubine for his eldest son, Prince T’mar. It has become an issue between Draco and Earth over Elementa, and the threat of a dragon attack against the United States needs a peace agreement, but will President Marshfield agree? Rhianna was sent and became the mate to Prince K’ev, and this story will be Helena Marshfield and Prince T’mar. I love the communication and arguing between T’mar and his dragon. The story will begin with problems within the underground bunkers housing top officials of the government. Helena, daughter to President Marshfield, has her own plan—part to help the country, and another to get away from Bigg’s, her father’s advisor. If she can escape and board the next shuttle to Elementa, maybe she can prevent an attack. Not only will Helena leave, but so will two former employees of the administrative staff, Patsy and Henry, who will also have documentation and clothing for Helena. Even after their arrival on Elementa, waiting for the envoy from Draco, they devise a plan for the three to stay together. As they sail to Draco, T’mar will be fighting with his dragon, who insists that Helena is their mate, their chosen one. How will he feel when he discovers he has a desire for her? Can he just have her and get her out of his system and have her join his harem? Back on Draco, Rhianna will learn news from the Priestess. She isn’t happy with Helena, and still holds resentment for her betrayal, even though she loves K’ev. There are issues with King K’rah and his feelings on humans, but he also respects O’ne, the Priestess. The relationship and mating between Rhianna and Prince K’ev are strong. While this story does bring in several people from the first book, the story is mostly about Helena and T’mar. More will come out about the fyre in the dragons, about finding their mates, and about the deceit of others. It will have the good, the bad, and the evil of individuals, both humans, and Draconians. The story has plenty of mystery, suspense, betrayal, lies, secrets, and angst. The time together between T’mar and Helena brings them closer, especially with his dragon screaming that she is their mate, they must protect her. T’mar hasn’t had a desire for any of his concubines, but there is something about Helena that entices him, and she is attracted to him. There is a challenging chemistry of lust and desire fought with questioning why they would want each other. The only one who seems to know and push it is T’mar’s dragon. Trouble still is in the works, back on Earth, Biggs is controlling things, and on Draco, not everyone is happy about T’mar and Helena. But for now, these two have found each other, discovered more about Helena, and are ready to tackle new issues head-on. As this story ends, it isn’t a cliffhanger, but a segue into what will be a third book, which will be full of danger. I still think the dragons will win against evil. “Perhaps not all surprises were good ones.” “She filled his head, and his senses stirred his desire and his fyre. Mine. My mate, mine. My dragoness. My human.”

Multiple POVs which I enjoy. The dragons world is so well described. I can just see it in my mind. This was very entertaining. I loved our heroine and how she redeemed herself. The hero is all gruff and handsome. I love his snarky dragon. Great bad guy in Biggs. I love how he has a softer side and you want to empathize with him but really dislike him. These stories are getting better and better. I enjoyed seeing past characters integrated in the story so well. I’m usually so good at guessing plots but this one threw me. I’m so excited about O’ne and Henry. I really like the priestess. My only complaint is that I just wish she didn’t use the same cover for the whole series.

OMG, I loved it! While I haven't read the first in the series, I had no no problem following the story line. Full of adventure and intrigue and danger, this reminded me of a movie. Helena is intelligent, duty-driven, loyal, and feisty. Prince T’mar is strong, possessive, abrupt, and surprisingly captivated by Helena in spite of himself. I loved the vivid descriptions, the difference in their cultures, and all the thought that went into creating this universe! I'm definitely going back to read book 1, and am really looking forward to reading book 3! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
