She gets out of there and into the world of Las Vegas, which is where the adventure begins. The love between the two main characters is very satisfying and has you rooting for both of them. Although dragons are kept secret, they interact with humans. One of the most common types of the dragon is Raibert, who is the owner of a hotel in Vegas. He is responsible for hosting CES, which is a major event in the city. When he saw a young woman named Layla, he immediately knew that she was his mate. She moved from nowhere to Vegas and assumed that he was just a rich guy who didn't care about her.\r\n\r\nShe was working at CES when he started showing up, again and again, to "woo" her. The romance quickly escalated into a full-blown sexy and quick affair. If you're looking for a long-term relationship, this isn't it. The story ends with a lot of twists and turns. It was very enjoyable and I'm eager to see the rest of the world. Raibert is a dragon shifter and a Vegas businessman. He has everything that a man needs in life, except for a mate. When no one shows interest in him, he gets so consumed by his work that he rarely gets time to socialize. His plans are suddenly rearranged the following morning when his mate suddenly appears.\r\n\r\nAfter struggling with her past, game designer, Layla, is ready to start her life over. She has left behind her abusive parents and a deadbeat boyfriend, and she is excited to start working in Vegas. However, when she meets Raibert, the owner of The Mercury, she doesn't expect him to show interest in her. He has everything that he needs in life, except for a mate. With his hands full with the beautiful and talented Layla, he can't ask for anything more from her. Will he be able to convince her of her worth or will she leave him?","date":"2nd Nov 2022"},{"name":"enchantingreviews","rating":"4","title":"Loved this one","text":"Wow this was one amazing dragon story.

This book sounded brilliant and exactly my kind of story. Unfortunately I was left feeling a little deflated. The story is really good, and I how the author writes her characters, however in my opinion it's far too short. Apart from the love scene in the book everything else is pretty much glossed over and hardly gets a mention. Maybe it's just me expecting too much but I was left wanting more after I finished the book in under one hour. The idea behind the story is really good, I just feel it could all have been explored more which in turn would have made the book be at least double the length.","date":"15th Oct 2022"},{"name":"ANG27","rating":"5","title":"Quick read","text":"A great quick and easy shifter romance read.
