About this ebook

Dragon shifter prince Kyran and his people are gravely in need of mates. Their planet’s female shifters are dying out, so they look to Earth for new women. Vivacious Eve catches Kyran’s eye — but claiming her will be harder than he anticipated…

Welcome to the dangerous world of Qurilixen where dragon-shifters and cat-shifters rule as fiercely as they love. 

Dragon-shifter Prince Kyran has studied the Earth people and is ready to assimilate. Female shifters are all but going extinct on his planet of Qurilixen, and his people are desperate for mates—so much so they’re taking matters into their own hands. What better place to find a mate than Earth? After all, dragon-shifters had come from there centuries ago. Surely a human female would be honored to be selected by one as fine and fierce as himself.

While on Earth, Kyran stumbles upon the most beautiful woman he’s ever imagined, singing something the natives call rock ’n’ roll. His blood simmers and he knows Eve is the one for him. But taming this feisty female is going to take much more than his training prepared him for.

Book One of the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter series, a dragon shapeshifter fantasy/sci fi romance from NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.

About the Captured by a Dragon-Shifter Series

Welcome to the dangerous world of Qurilixen where dragon-shifters and cat-shifters rule as fiercely as they love. They might have escaped human persecution long ago to live on their own terms, but now must return to Earth to ensure their survival.  

For Qurilixen Fans

A modern day prequel series installment to those first books (Dragon Lords & Lords of the Var®), taking place long before the princes you know and love ever found their mates, long before The Dragon’s Queen, in a time when the dragon-shifters and cat-shifters actually—wait for it—liked each other and hung out as friends. They also don’t have Galaxy Brides to bring them women. What they do have is the old portal that they used to escape Earth. There’s no one left to marry on the planet and things are starting to get desperate. This series can be read as a standalone.

Ratings and reviews

This is Kyran and Eve's story. Kyran is a draig prince looking for a bride and Eve is a human female and musician on earth. Kyran and 3 others use a portal to earth to look for brides but as they used old tv transmissions to try and blend in hilarity ensues. Each dresses as a various character with Kyran dressing as a cowboy. After a few too many shots of tequilla Eve unknowingly agrees to Kyrans proposal and finds herself on Quillixen the next day. Now Kyran has his work cut out for him. Can he convince Eve to stay with him? Can he keep her safe from those who believe in purist ways and don't want brides from earth to dilute their lineage? Check out this fascinating tale to find out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

What A Hot Read! I loved the whole concept of this storyline which had lots of witty moments. Kyran had studied Earth before crossing over but his ideas were out of date and old fashioned but he still managed to find a mate in Eve. What a fun adventure from the beginning to the end. Eve was an independent woman with her own ideas. Could Kyran tame her and make her his or would he lose her forever! A great start to this series.
