Dragon Prince (The Bride Hunt) Summary

This is the final installment of this bestselling dragon shifter series…
This book can be read as a standalone.

Tide goes into town for a bit of fun. He can’t wait to get his hands on a human female. Even though his evening doesn’t pan out as expected, a bit of fun is exactly what he gets. He is shocked when the same female turns up on dragon territory as their new healer. Tide does not believe in coincidence. Who is she really and why is she here?

Doctor Meghan Roberts can’t believe it when she lands the job of a lifetime. Imagine her surprise when she ends up accused of stalking the shifter she spent the night with some months ago. The arrogant A-hole seems to think that she would stoop so low as to go through his phone and wallet for information. To have orchestrated this whole thing. It’s a great pity he’s assigned to protect her during her stay on dragon territory. Tide is going to be her very annoying shadow for the foreseeable future. What’s worse is that’s she’s still attracted to him.

Tide is comfortable taking the assignment to keep an eye on the new healer. He’s still not completely convinced this whole thing was a coincidence. Her job is to find a cure for their silver affliction. Something essential to the continuation of the dragon species. Something he, therefore, takes seriously. The little healer might be attractive, but he never ruts the same female twice. What could go wrong?

Wow! Hartnady really pulled out all the stops for Dragon Prince, the sixth and final release of The Bride Hunt Series and I have another new favorite! lol… Yeah, yeah, I know I say the same thing every time but this series just keeps getting better and better! I loved, loved, loved Dragon Prince! It’s no secret I’m a diehard Charlene Hartnady fan and have been for years. I devour everything she writes.

Hartnady is one of very few authors on my automatic one-click list. I’m pretty picky about the books I choose to read and even more careful with how I spend my hard-earned dollars. But when Hartnady releases a book, I never even bother to read the blurb; I just click and buy! And I’ve never, ever been disappointed with any of her stories. In my humble opinion, Hartnady is one of the most reliable writers in the paranormal romance genre today, consistently penning exceptionally well crafted, written, and edited books with beautiful covers, unique worlds, imaginative storylines, fascinating characters and Dragon Prince is NO exception. Some people are simply born with a natural innate talent as a storyteller and Hartnady has been abundantly blessed. She’s an incredibly skilled wordsmith with a boundless imagination who excels at creating imaginative and vividly depicted worlds with intriguing and highly engaging characters that immediately draw you into the story, grab your undivided attention, engage your emotions, completely capture your heart, and give you a case of what I like to call ‘the feels’. They make you giggle, snicker, snort, and sob but by the end, you’re happy, satisfied and well entertained!

But I digress, let’s talk some specifics about this book. Dragon Prince is an exciting, intense, seductive, fast-paced, exceptionally well crafted and edited full-length standalone paranormal romance, beautifully written in the third person with his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, sexy, well-executed, at times hilarious, and flows effortlessly.

I became instantly smitten with the two protagonists of this story, hot, handsome, arrogant and very stubborn royal water dragon, Prince Tide, and beautiful, compassionate and very nerdy Doctor Meghan Rogers. I immediately fell in love with the intelligent Meghan and Tide, well, he kinda grows on you. lol… But they complemented each other perfectly and their se*xual chemistry was so smoking hot! Tide may have been a little cocky and stubborn, okay a lot, but he did have some really big redeeming qualities along with several irresistible physical attributes. Hubba! Hubba! Hartnady skillfully combines every single one of these elements to craft a deliciously cute paranormal tale filled to the brim with heart-pounding drama, heart-wrenching angst, hilarious humor, heated attraction, fiery passion, heartwarming romance and of course, dreamy sex! After all, this is a Charlene Hartnady story and we all know she writes some of the steamiest sex scenes – ever! Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! I was glued to my chair, white knuckling my ereader with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest while the hours passed as quickly as the pages! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I giggled, snorted, snickered, snuffled, sobbed and even became downright angry and wanted to strangle several dragon shifters, but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and completely entertained. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

Premise: The Bride Hunt Series is a spin-off from Hartnady’s earlier series, The Program, which features a captivating cast of vampires seeking human mates. But the vampires aren’t the only species encountering reproductive problems. All the non-humans are experiencing the same dilemma – no females to procreate their species and the very few dragon births have been all male and apparently it’s the same with the other non-human species as well. For no known reason, female children have just stopped being born. Unfortunately, the dragons have been the worst affected. The vampires have instigated their ‘breeding program’ in which they recruit human females to participate in a dating program with their elite vampire males. Of course, the wolf shifters have been secretly mating human females for years.

The elves, who seem to be the least affected, prefer to isolate themselves completely, which is pretty much what the dragon shifters have also preferred – until now. The dragons have reinstated a practice from their ancient lore called The Bride Hunt, and it’s exactly how it sounds. They abduct…um… rescue human females who are impoverished, abused, or in some kind of trouble, then force…um…I mean offer them a mutually beneficial deal to participate in the Hunt. As tradition dictates, hundreds of dragon males from all four tribes assemble every six months for the Hunt and all of them hunt the human females. Once they capture a female, they can claim her! Oh my! What could go wrong??? Don’t ask! But in this story, Hartnady changed it up a little bit. The female protagonist, Dr. Meghan Rogers, a well-known and highly respected geneticist, signs an employment contract agreeing to work with the dragons to develop a cure for their debilitating reaction to silver. She and her assistant agree to live and work at a lab located in one of the dragon kingdoms. But when Meghan agreed to the arrangement, she had no idea the handsome stranger, Tide, with whom she’d shared a scorching, heat-the-sheets, one-night stand several months earlier, after he so gallantly changed her flat tire, is actually a dragon shifter. The hot hunk may have been huge, hot, and very good in bed, but he’s not very big on manners. When Meghan awoke the next morning, the hottie was gone without even so much as a fare thee well. Oh my! Imagine Meghan’s surprise when she arrives at the water kingdom to begin her new job and discovers Tide is not only a dragon shifter, he’s also a prince, and now her new bodyguard! Oh dear! Of course, it doesn’t help that Tide accuses her of being a spy, frisks her in front of everyone, and then rudely explains if she’s there to seduce him, she can forget it. He doesn’t do relationships or repeats. Oh my! Let the games begin, or should I say the hunt!
