Gold (Date-A-Dragon Book 1)

I recently found Terry Bolryder and I like be her! The metal dragon series is awesome. I enjoy the concept that anyone can have a happy ending. The right person will love your strengths and weaknesses.

As always Terry Bolryder writes an excellent tale involving dragons, human mates, and other assorted characters. This book deals with the gold Dragon who is hired out as an escort to a wedding. His date just happens to be his mate, but she has some issues about herself that make getting close difficult. Ella was bullied and assaulted when younger and these issues are discussed in the story. If these are triggers you may want to skip. However, the situation is covered in a skillful way that focuses more on Dante's defending and protecting Ella now than events in the past. This pretty boy smooth talker has fallen hard and convincing Ella to believe in herself so she can accept his love is the hardest challenge of his life. Several unexpected twists in this story that just made it more delectable! I'm heading now to download book 2 in my kindle.

Loved this latest dragon story. Dante was arrogant when we first met him in Rent-a-Dragon but now he's learning a whole different way of living. Since his powers have been curbed he has to try to find his mate and he's not happy about it. That is until he actually meets her. Ella needs a date for her sister's wedding but since she lost all faith in men many years before she doesn't know what to do until she finds the web page for Date-A-Dragon. Since her specialty is helping businesses with marketing and other things, she offers her services in exchange for Dante's services for a week. Of course, his natural arrogance almost made it impossible for her to work with him until he apologized after he realized that she was his mate and he had to woo her. Read this book to find out how an arrogant dragon learns to put his human mate first above all others and how he helps her overcome her uncertainties and fears. Can't wait to read the next. one.

The premise of this tale of dragons who were awakened from some sort of deep sleep to modern society and had their powers frozen. Like another group of dragons, they had to prove they were civilized enough to live in the modern world. And find their true love in order to regain control of their lives.
So, they decided to rent themselves out as escorts. Needless to say, that was a resounding failure. The series takes one dragon's storyline and follows his journey to find his mate and regain control of his powers. Dante, the first dragon in the series, did very poorly at being an escort and equally bad at winning the heart of Ella. The storyline follows Dante as he attempts to win Ella's heart. To say more would ruin it for the reader. So,I recommend you read it and find out how he overcomes the obstacles to win his Ella.

Another fun dragon shifter tale and the beginning of a new series! Dante,in his former life, was a king. As the gold dragon, he had a life of parties, women, all the privilege that comes with wealth. However, that was in the past. Once reawakened, he finds himself collared, until he can learn to control his powers, care for someone else, potentially find his mate . But an escort service. What? Welcome to Date-A-Dragon. Dante wasn't exactly on board until she walked in and his head and heart sang "mate". Ella needed a date for her sister's wedding, back in her hometown. But a warm homecoming and friendly reunion it's not. Can Dante protect his new found potential mate and turn the visit into the homecoming that she needs and deserves? Book one in the Fun and fabulous, sexy new dragon shifter series by Terry Bolryder!

Very clever and entertaining story. When the powerless dragons try to start up a " rent a date" service they quickly learn they are sadly lacking in social skills. In order to get their wings back they must find a mate. They are arrogant, brash and rude when it comes to dealing with modern women. Lovely, insecure Ella decided to overlook their hurtful rudeness and hired Dante to be her pretend fiancee at her sisters wedding. Sexy, Self assured Dante is beyond handsome. He is shocked to discover that Ella is his mate. Ella has been bullied and mentally abused all of her life due to her weight. The challenging week spent back home for her selfish sisters wedding is filled with stress, fear, surprising events and personal discovery. This is such a exciting love story, I read this straight through.

Another series. Another winner. Not that there was ever a doubt.
Despite Dante's reluctance to be a part of the Dating-club. He doesn't' have much choice without his full powers. He'd deal somehow. Somehow came in the delectable curves of Ella. She couldn't' show up at her sister's wedding without a date. Dante it was. His ego and attitude may be some of the reasons for the less than glowing reviews of the service. She didn't care. Looks would make up for it at home. It isn't like she had to live with the guy or sleep with the or--who was she kidding. Who wouldn't.
Ella was it. All he had to do was convince her. And keep her safe.
I can't wait to read the other new metal dragons stories.

I quite enjoyed this story. It was fast paced, sexy, sweet, charming, with a touch of drama/action thrown in to keep me happy.

We first met Dante in the Rent-A-Dragon series as the "bad guy" and now he's a hero of his own story. I was pleased to see his softer, sweeter side while reading. He was protective, funny, and charming as well.

Ella was a decent heroine. She appeared tough and put together (at first anyway), but we later find she has emotional problems from something that happened in her past. I liked how Dante constantly tried to show her her beauty, even when she shoved him away.

All in all, it was a good read and I'd rate it 3.5 stars.

This quote is a fantastic description of Dante. I think this one may be my favorite in the series that started with Awakened Dragons. It is so fun to watch these handsome males learn to cope with finding their mates. I did not expect to fall for Dante, considering his personality in a previous book. Wow, was I wrong. Terry Bolryder has the talent to completely draw you into the hearts and minds of her characters and just plain change your mind. Well written and well edited, this is a winner in the shifter genre. This review is based on a free ARC, gifted in exchange for an honest review.

I have read everything Terry has written and with each book there is always something a little different. I had no idea how she was going to bring the metal dragons in and make us warm up to them but of course she did. When Ella walked into the castle Dante knew she was his mate so what does he do, he acts like a jerk of course, so now he has to make it up to her and woo her but he has to do it carefully because she doesn't want to be touched, she has a lot of secrets but so does he. This book has several twists till you figure out who is good and who is bad :)

Dante was arrogant at first. He seemed lost. What a surprise it was for him when he met his match Ella. They did not get along at first but that changed pretty quickly. The one thing that bothered me was pages of the book were missing. The parts I missed made me not enjoy it as much. I would be interested in the story then page(s) missing. Got annoying as I read it.

After a lifetime of privilege Gold and his group of noble metal dragons wakes up in a modern world where everything certainly isn't golden for them. But through a series of events comes to create and depend on date-a-dragon, their failing chance at finding human mates. I'm comes Ella needing a date for her sister's wedding. These two definitely definitely​need each other.

This book was actually better than I expected. I didn't like Dante much after reading the Rent-A-Dragon series, but he was much more likeable in this one. He was really sweet to Ella -- very considerate and protective, but didn't try to rush their relationship when he realized she had a bad history with men. I was really glad when they found their HEA. Now I'm hoping that Adrian can redeem himself in the next book -- he has some work to do there, because he has been a real jerk so far.

Dante, the Gold Dragon, along with the other two metal dragons, start Date-a-Dragon to meet females. Ella needs a date for her sister's wedding so after searching on the internet for possible dating sites, she sets up an appointment with Date-a-Dragon. There's immediate sparks between she and Dante, and he agrees to be her date for the wedding. This is a great book, it held my interest as soon as I started reading it, and I didn't stop until I finished the book. Can't wait to read the 2nd book now!

Ancient metal dragon shifters awaken after hibernation since Viking times. Their powers are bound till they find mates, so with help from a younger dragon they set up a escort service. Because of their beauty the women think they are willing to do more. Bad reviews abound. Something has to change. Fun read I feel like something is missing at the beginning to explain how they started the website but the rest of the book is good and has a twist I didn't expect.
