★★★★★

5 Stars! “This Qurilixen dragon-shifter romance is great fun from beginning to end. I really liked the characters, and the tension of the plot kept the story moving briskly. The romance was spot-on, enjoyable without taking away from the rest of the story. The characters were all interesting and sympathetic.”

About Captured by a Dragon-Shifter Book 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.

Fan Note: A modern day prequel series installment to those first books, 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 is part of the Qurilixen World.
