About this ebook

Dragon shifters, fake identities, and betrayal; secrets that will either turn two strangers into bitter enemies or forge a passionate, burning love with the strength to last an eternity… 

Sent halfway across the world in her identical twin sister’s place to sign a contract with a reclusive billionaire, Katy Toure has no idea what she’s walking into. Before she signs anything, however, she meets the most amazing, drop-dead gorgeous man of her dreams. Even if all she can have with him is one night, she can’t resist the hunger in his eyes or the way he makes her body sing.

Ryker Draquonir, king of the dragon shifters, takes one look at the woman sent to sign a contract with him, a contemporary marriage of convenience, and knows she is an impostor. Fate has stepped in after centuries on his own to give him his heart’s desire; for the woman standing before him is his true mate.

Ancient Draquonir law forbids Ryker from revealing the existence of dragons and other magical creatures to her before he has claimed her, so if he wants a chance at happily ever after, he will have to seduce her to get it; woo her as only a billionaire can. Dragons love to hunt, and he will do anything to capture his true mate’s heart.

Ratings and reviews

Great beginning story of the Dragons! Ryker needs find a woman his dragon will accept so he can enter into a surrogate contract and produce an heir before he's executed. Unbeknown to him, the woman he enters into the contract wants out and sends her twin to break the deal. The twin (Katy) is his fated mate. Once he realizes this, the scheduled execution is delayed while he woos his mate. There is the requisite drama to HEA. This is a good first book!

Twin swap + tortured dragon king + fated mates = Dragon Chains ***** Rating: 4 stars Steam: 2 flames Genre: PNR ***** Dragon Chains is the first book in the new series by Grace Goodwin and Becca Brayden. I am a big fan of Grace Goodwin and have read everything they have written so I was super excited for this new series! King Ryker has gone centuries without finding his mate and now his dragon is slowly taking over. Since he has never found his mate, for the good of the Draquonir, he has decided to make a business agreement to find a queen. Kate, the practical twin, gets a phone call from her sister for a favor. They need to do a twin swap, Emily needs Kate to go sign a contract for her as she has been delayed and can’t make it in time, and they need the money to help their family. Kate, being the reliable sister she is, hops on a plane to sign a contract as Emily. What Kate doesn’t know is that her world is about to change. Dragon Chains was a short, easy read, filled with Dragon’s, fated mates and some steam. Once I opened the book, I was pulled into this new world and I didn’t put it down until the story was over. I enjoyed this book, the characters, and the storyline. I look forward to the next book in the series and I can’t wait to see who finds their mate next! A must read recommendation from me! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Deception is the Theme Here . . . Katy and Emily Toure are identical twins, alike in looks but totally different personalities. Emily travels the world in her job, gets Katy stuck in work projects and then disappears… for work, of course, leaving Katy to finish up the mess she has created. Their mother let so many bills go unpaid that, when their house burned down and they lost everything, they had no insurance either. Her mother had gone back into the burning house to rescue their cat and she has injuries which will need further treatment they cannot afford. So now Emily says she has the money, but needs Katy’s help. She can’t get away to sign the paperwork and needs Katy to pretend to be her. Emily has already spent the advance, so there is no getting out of this. Ryker Draquonir is an ancient dragon king, losing control of his dragon because he could not find his true mate. So Emily is to be inseminated and have his heirs, and he will be executed when he loses all control without his mate. With his superior shifter senses, Ryker knows Katy is not “Emily” – but she is his true mate! He can’t tell her about dragons at this point in their relationship. He will have to woo her and convince her they should be together, all while keeping it secret that he is a dragon. (Does anyone ever tell the truth to Katy in this book?) There will be lots of emotions raised in their story. Will Katy fall in love and accept her mate (even though it’s a done-deal by then)? Is it too late to change her mind? It’s a good thing Katy is a twin or I would swear she was adopted and not part of her irresponsible family. Emily and their mother are walking disasters, and dumping it all on Katy’s shoulders without a second thought irritated me. Likewise, allowing yourself to be used and walked on also irritates me. Family is so important and should never “use” another family member. Anyway, off the soapbox. That part makes me cringe.
