Beautiful love story between two totally opposite mythical shifters.  One is a healer, the other brings death.  Yet together they help each other.  Best story in series.

Really enjoyed this story. Imaginitive and funny. The authors take a unicorn and make him irreverent, manly and proud. Already purchased Unicorn Western 2 which I've heard is even better than the first. Can't wait for even more magick and rainbow-colored blood!

Unicorn Tracks by Julia Ember, I mean what do I even say? Im absolutely in love with this piece of literature. It is a story rich in culture, magical creatures and girls. There is so much to appreciate and love about Unicorn Tracks, but most of all I love how it is a story about two girls who come from two very different places in the world with very different experiences. We have the main character Mnemba, a girl who has been through so much and who has so much depth. She is an amazing person with a huge heart. Then we have Kara Harving, a girl with a sparkling personality and wonder in her eyes.

Miss Harving looked about my own age. Definitely younger than twenty, with fresh, blemish-free skin. She had a fuller-than-fashionable figure, with soft, doughy curves rather than the waifish slenderness Id come to expect from ladies in Echalend. Her eyes were impossibly ice blue, and they looked into mine with an intensity and excitement in them that made me suddenly want to study my shoes.

Unicorn Tracks is a story I fell in love with more and more for every page, its a short story and I love the way Julia Embers world is displayed. I cant speak for if the culture is accurate because it is not mine to speak for but I can say that it was beautifully written. It is so vividly described, filled with magical creatures that all have their own history and origin.

The horn itself held its shape, blackening without burning. But as we peered deeper into the fire, the lines of silver twisting around it unfurled. Starting from the wide base, a strip of pure silver filament unwound in a curled spiral. The glistening metal started to glow orange and red with heat, and suddenly, it exploded. The pieces hovered in the air around us, like stars suspended in midair. We watched them twinkle for a moment, before a low wind came and brushed heavens dust away.

Kara and her father came to Nazwimbe to do research on Unicorns but what was supposed be a research adventure turned into a dangerous mission to save these creatures. The magical, kind and pure Unicorns were captured and tortured by a ruthless gang of poachers in order to use them and their supernatural power to build an illegal railway. However, with Karas immense love for the magical creatures and Mnembas growing feelings for Kara, they decided to do something about it and along the way were faced with numerous obstacles and dangers.

I stared at the pebbles rolling under my toes, too afraid to look back up. Warmth rose up my neck. Try as I might to focus on the brown and gray stones, I couldn't get the image of her form beneath the wet, clinging fabric out of my mind.

However, as the lover of romance I am, the most compelling part of the story was seeing Mnemba and Kara develop deep feelings for each other. I love a good romantic story, and that is exactly what Unicorn Tracks is. A lot is standing in the way of Mnemba and Karas feelings for each other and their love but how they tackle their feelings, Mnembas tragic past and Karas betrothed waiting at home is a something youll be dying to read.

If you're looking for a story filled with magical creatures, characters that are complex and girls loving girls then this is for you. This is a story that will make you wish there was more, more pages, more scenes between Kara and Mnemba and more of every magical being in the story.

This is the third book in the Dragonfury Series. I loved it!

Mac McCord is the newest member of the Dragonfury pack. An ex-cop, his transformation began in Fury of Ice, after tangling with the magical blast of a Razorback. I liked this tough character. He is almost like an unsteady pup (albeit a dangerous one!) as he adjusts to his new life. He is a rare water dragon, but being new, his magic is raw and untrained, which chafes at this warrior's pride.

Tania Solares is a landscape designer, and best friend to Myst Munroe. I liked her "take no prisoners" attitude with trying to find out about the disappearance of her friend, but her feisty nature puts her on the Razorbacks' radar.

I don't know what magic these sexy dragons have over me, but these books seem to be getting better and better! The story is completely page turning! I must admit that I had to get this in audio too, because I just HAD to know how things were unfolding, especially when I had to do chores and couldn't read my Kindle whilst doing them! Mind you, it could be the narrators voice that got me too! Benjamin L. Darcie's dulcet tones brought the characters to life! It was nice to meet all the characters again, and to be introduced to new ones like Tania's sister, JJ. Although, there is one character that I could have done without - Ivar. The leader of the Razorback's is a cruel psycho, with a mad scientist vibe that made shivers run up my back!
We are also introduced to Nian, a dragon in the Archguard's High Council. He is new to his position, but disgusted with the current leader of the Council, and is looking to replace him. His story could be rather intriguing!
This story is full of action, danger and romance that has captured my imagination, and made me wish that these dragon warriors were really alive! The battle scenes were described extremely vividly and I could "see" them with ease! I cannot wait to read Fury of Desire and to get to know Wick and JJ better!

Coreene Callahan has written another fantastic paranormal romance. She is fast becoming one of my favourite authors to read. Her books are fast paced and flowed beautifully!

Due to the use of bad language and the explicit sexual scenes, I do not recommend this book for younger readers. However, I highly recommend this book if you love erotic paranormal romances or books with sexy dragon shifters! - Lynn Worton

Loved this book. Dragons  are such mystical creatures, the way Julia presents them in the book is wonderful. I could not stop reading it. Now starting on the second and I can't put it down. Thank you Julia and please keep them coming.

If you love fantasy and mystical creatures unicorns, dragons, phoenix etc you will love this coloring book. The coloring pages are cute just not what I like to color. This coloring book has forty-four illustrations for a young artist to color. I got this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

The first book in this historical romantic fantasy series was about Duncan Macrae and Gwynne Owens.  They had a friend, Simon, Earl of Falconer, who is a very powerful mage and an enforcer for the Guardian Council.  He had some tough things to do in that book.  This story is continuing where Simon had discovered during the Jacobite rebellion that some rogue mage was "helping" BOTH sides stirring up the unrest and increasing loss of life.

That mage is Lord Drayton.  Guardians are humans with special powers and responsibilities and they take an oath to not interfere in the "mundane" world (non magical).  Lord Drayton has violated that so Simon Malmain is going to confront him and possibly strip him of his powers.  Simon knows of Lord Drayton as they are both members of the Royal Society, a society of mathematicians, inventors.  Simon knows that Lord Drayton has only moderate power so he believes he can handle him alone.  However, Lord Drayton is expecting him and has laid a trap with his power enhanced by a woman he holds in thrall.

Simon turns into a unicorn and is about to be killed by Drayton but manages to escape  aided by a servant, Meg.  Meg seems rather slow to the other people in the castle and very homely.  Lord Drayton tries to use Meg who is a virgin to trap Simon in his unicorn form so he  can kill the unicorn and have its horn which possesses a great deal of magical and healing power.  Meg is an animal lover and seems to be able to mind-talk animals.  Simon is drawn to her as unicorns are attracted to virgins.  She sees the trap and runs with him riding on his back.  When they are far enough away, she sees he is bleeding from a wound and tries to stem the bleeding with her hand that has a cut in it.  When her blood and his mix, Simon is returned to human form, albeit naked.  They go to a nearby home of Lady Bethany Fox, also introduced in the previous book, who is on the Guardian Council.  Simon also discovers that Meg is a beautiful young woman who was bespelled by Lord Drayton for ten years.  He is only able to tie off the magical cord that Drayton has on Meg but is able to remove the spell that changed her appearance and blocked much of her mind.  Meg cannot remember her past however, that is still blocked.  Lady Bethany gives them aid and suggests they marry to stay together in case Simon turns back into a unicorn.  They are both against marriage for different reasons but do agree to pretend they are married so they can go to London and find a way to stop Lord Drayton.

Ms. Putney has advanced the start of the Industrial age a bit for purposes of the plot line but it works well nevertheless.  The secondary characters such as Sarah and David White and some of the other Council members such as Lord Sterling and also the others Lord Drayton holds in thrall are nicely developed and make the story interesting.

The romance is also well done especially since they must remain chaste so that Meg can help Simon when he loses his temper and turns back into a unicorn!

A fun and lush romantic fantasy!

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I bought this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I own the whole set!

The cover has me torn because I like the models way better, but I still wish there was a puma on the cover!

This is the 2nd book in the series.  I recommend reading them in order because it just makes it better!!  This is still for adults only due to the steamy content and violence.  This is a quick read only 79 or so pages.

This is Becky and Simons story.  I like both of these characters!  They have chemistry, and there are weird things going on with Becky, so there is a mystery.  There is a short recap at the beginning of the end of book 1.  Dana has a great mix of action, mystery, romance, and treachery to keep you engaged in the story.  I loved it!

I highly recommend to any shifter fans who want action and a HEA!  I cant wait to read more!!!

Great fun!  All of the monsters are beautiful in their own unique way, and most especially the ULAMEX!  They love snow and Winter and snowballs and they represent the letter U famously!  :D  Great illustration going on here!

I love this book. I read it some 40 yrs ago. probably have some of the originals stuck some where. You can always dream. Dragons as partners and flying that would be cool.

It has been a long time since I've gone with a dragon book.
I love dragons.
And a half dragon half human shifter finding out that his one true mate is in life threatening danger? SIGN ME UP.
There were some really super cute scenes in this story. I love to quote, but with a newly released book, I hate to spoil anything for others. #ConundrumsOfTheBookLover.
Drakon's Promise had a bit of an Infodump early on, but it rolls into the story quickly, and you are off and enjoying dragons and intrigue and an ancient artifact and did I mention the drakons are haaawt?
The trap of repeating, often verbatim, of what a character internally thinks then another verbally says, or just the same info getting repeated in case the reader missed/forgot crept up a few times in this book, but when I wasn't reading this one, I was listening to a Laurann Dohner new Vamp/Lycan/Gargoyle series audiobook. WOW DOES SHE EVER DO THIS. Heavily. So when I got back to reading NJ Walters I was like, "this is NOTHING, this is FINE!"

There were some COOL additions I haven't seen before in dragon books. Some elements and details that added yet another layer of interest and made the experience that much more enjoyable - great job NJWalters!!

I freaking LOVE this universe, and the dragon and unicorn, along with their son are my favorite characters. Thea Harrison wields a mean pen. Her world-building is excellent. I love that she portrays a married life that is anything but staid for this exciting family. Keep the stories coming, Ms. Harrison...ill keep buying and reading.

Enter a world filled with dragons and loads of adventure!
This book really had me hooked and I hope to read more books from this author. The imagery and detail was wonderful and I felt like I was really there with everyone. This book was jammed pack with action and even had some romance which I loved.
 I liked Deagon because he was really a nice guy and I could sympathize with how he felt like he didn't belong.  He has really great friends though who let him know that he isn't alone. My favorite characters were Anhanan and Jenabel. I loved this pairing because their relationship was so sweet and you could really tell they cared for one another. I hope to see more of them in future books.
I highly recommend this book to lovers of fantasy, dragons, or to anyone who likes romance mixed with a lot of action.

I was immediately sucked in & taken for an enjoyable ride with Mandra (yes that's a guy's name) & Ariel's story.  Ariel is an animal/creature whisper as she collects creatures/animals (usually they are the creatures that are a delicacy to the dragons & it is funny when she tells the dragons that they can't eat them) wherever she goes (on Earth, on Valdier, on warships, etc... & they will follow her everywhere. Mandra of course is 1 of Zoran's brothers & Ariel is his mate (Carmen is her sister & Trisha is the "adopted" sister & there's a story about that too).  In this story they try to get closer to kill their "former" Uncle Raffvin (he's the main bad guy) they get close but not until the end of the book; most of the book is about the "furry" adventures.  This book contains lots of sex scenes, sexy hot Aliens, lots of creatures & of course the bad guy.

One of the few fantasy books I have read and it kept me on the edge of my seat, reaching for more of this beautiful tale.
The author not only brings the wizards and humans into a believable light with their actions and personalities, but his mythical creatures, the unicorns tug at the reader's heartstrings as well.
I cheered his characters, felt their sadness and heartache, and wished I was there to witness the wizards's magic fire and the beautiful flight of the unicorns.
A must read!
