A Qurilixen World Novel (Captured by a Dragon-Shifter Book 1)

Terrific story!! Prince Kyran is looking for a wife and since there aren’t any left on his planet he comes to Earth to find a Human woman to wed. I found it so funny to look at us “Earthlings” in a different way, how we must look to others - aliens, so to speak - but obviously a male of any “species” is still the same – with the Me Tarzan You Jane You Mine routine and seriously – finding your true mate in a BAR?!?! Really??? Whatever works for you! LOL Love the confusion between them – the language, customs and the fact that what the Draigs know of Earth and us Humans and how they learnt about us, well you have to read this book for this point alone! The humor is so well, hilarious and original! I promise that the other parts to the book are so perfect as well! There is a much earned romance and conflict and mistakes and…oh just read the story and you will see! There is so just much awesomeness in this story and I don’t want to spoil any part of it for you!!!! I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in these series now! With each book I read in the Dragon Lord Universe, I fall deeper and deeper into it and want, no NEED to go and read all of them! I am not sure I will ever be ready to leave this world, regardless if it is past, present, future, same people, new – it is all in this FANTASTIC world that Michelle has created. I love that she can take just a small piece of this Dragon Lords Universe and turn it into a terrifically funny, hot & sexy romance that can be read as a stand-alone, but come on! If you are like me, you want to know each & every single Draig and their story and thankfully, Michelle listens to us and there is lots of romance to be had! For those of you who don’t already know, Michelle has that true great talent that she shows with each book she writes!! Whether it be a short story, a novella or a full length novel, you know you are going to be swept away into her books & you will always be entertained and love every single new Hero that she creates! Not every author can successfully write a short(er) story in their existing series, but Michelle not does this flawlessly!

From the first page few paragraphs , I was already lmao. The King and Queen were hilarious and I kind of wished I got to see more of the King. In this new and exciting book, it begins the story of how The Draig and Var began getting wives before there was trading through the galaxy. I found this book to be quite enjoyable, funny and a quick read (I want more!!).
The Var and Draig were friends ..woe :O Could you believe that?! Their friendship and easy going relationship brought a new atmosphere to these books. The Var when teamed up with the Draig to find wives was just the start of an awesome adventure. I found the cowboy, the ninja, the sailor, and the outlaw biker to be a group I would gladly invite to any party.
He's a little bit country and she's a little bit rock n roll. Heck who are we kidding, Kyran was just lovable and a bit arrogant. I found him funny especially when it came to Earth customs. I also thought he was hot! Let's just say I would love to watch him eat a cheeseburger ;) Eve I found to be level-headed, adaptable, and understanding. I found her funny and just awesome; blue and all. Life is all about the roller coaster ride and she's about to go on a big ride. I was glad to read about a heroine I didn't just want to punch in the face at least once. Surprising :O I found their romance cute. It didn't come about in such a fast paced way as you expect a shorter book, but it was sincere and not based purely on lust.
Overall I enjoyed this book and thought it a good read :D and can't wait for the next one in the series

Loved the storyline: cat and dragon shifters used to live on Earth, but escaped persecution to another planet. However they are no longer giving birth to females and need to use the portal to return to Earth and find willing human females to return to their planet. This is where the humour kicks in....watching what they think is current tv on Earth, they return to blend in as a cowboy, a gay sailor and a drag queen! Kyran (the cowboy and prince among dragon shifters) falls in love with the rock band singer at a club they enter. She is drunk after the gig, passes out and finds herself the following morning on a strange planet and supposedly married to a dragon shifter. There were some tense moments in the book, but I enjoyed the dialogue of aliens trying to speak in modern colloquialisms more. Well worth the read.

The planet Quirilixen was settled long ago by dragon shifters from earth. Now, due to a decline in the number of female shifters born, they need to reopen the portal to earth and acquire new brides. They study earth transmissions and prepare to make a trial run to find a bride for Prince Kyran.

Eve plays guitar and sings for a hard-rock band. After an especially good set, Eve decides to celebrate her birthday. After a few shots of tequila she has some very strange conversations with an oddly dressed, but well-built man dressed as a cowboy.

Eve wakes up the next morning on Quirilixen where she quickly discovers that she's not on earth anymore, Kyran is a dragon-shifter, and he says that they're married or almost married.

The story is a fish-out-of water tale for both characters. Kyran has some strange ideas about modern earth from his research into TV transmissions, and Eve has a lot of adjustments to make when she finds out just what she's gotten herself into.

Determined prince is a fun novella and I recommend it for a light afternoon read.

Prince Kyran and his brother and two Var Princes are the first to be selected to make their way through a portal, long forgotten on their world. Their land is fast running out of female and the elders have finally agreed to let them select mates from Earth, the planet they fled centuries ago.

They end up in Cleveland, Ohio at a night club where Eve is the lead singer for her Rock n' Roll band. Her eyes are drawn to the group when they enter and when she finishes singing she ends up buying them a drink as they only had European money on them (so much for their research!!)

They are dressed like a 50's version of the Village People but that doesn't stop het cutting loose with Kyran on the dance floor. She awakes the next morning as the suns (all 3 of them) blind her and she is in a tent in the forest on another planet. He says she has become his bride as she accepted him the previous night. She is not very happy with her new husband and decides to torment him by waking about naked. Unfortunately the torture goes both ways!!!!

This is a short story but with great characters and sharp story. I loved that Eve was adaptable but not gullible. The boys definitely need help in the matchmaking department and with their research of modern day Earth!!!!

The Determined Prince is the first in a Prequel series to the Dragon Lords (Captured by a Dragon-Shifter). Loving The Dragon Lords I was excited about this spin off and can't wait for the rest of the books to come out.
Before there was Galaxy Brides, in a time when the Var and Draig were friends, a shortage of females finds four hunky alien shifters going through a portal to earth in search of brides.
Dressed up as what they believe is desirable earth clothing, the portal lands the four princes in a rock and roll bar. Somehow , from watching television transmissions from earth, they arrive dressed as somewhat akin to The Village People. The fun and adventure continues on from here. With all the charm, romance, sexy, adventure and excitement I always enjoy in Michelle's books, this book was also a five on the hilarious scale.
Kyran, the Draig Prince is the first male selected to find his mate on this mission. When he eyes this strange female with blue streaks in her hair singing on a stage, he is determined to pursue her. Being that it is her birthday, and having more than a few drinks to celebrate, Eve had no problem getting to know the huge hunky "foreign" man dressed up as a cowboy. She is more than a bit freaked out when she awakens in an alien world with three suns.
The banter between Kyran and Eve, the lack of the princes knowledge of modern earth behavior and figures of speech were very entertaining and funny.
Kyran and Eve are enjoyable as hero and heroine, their chemistry is unmistakable.
I love being able to escape into the phenomenal Draig/Var world that Michelle Pillow has created.
This book can be read as a stand alone, and would make a good start to her awesome, full Dragon Lord Series. Guarantee you'll want to read all the books after reading "Determined Prince".

I was given this book to read and review. Michelle M.Pillow has a awesome imagination and her characters are very creative and believable. I have read a lot of her book and I always enjoy them.

This is the first book in the Captured by a Dragon - Shifter series: Determined Prince. First I must warn you if you have a weak bladder you may want prepare yourself, because I hate for you to have the hard decision of which to do continue reading or take a your shower. This book will have you laughing until you wet yourself.

Eve Minot is a singer who sings and plays the guitar in a rock band. The bands is playing a club in Cleveland, Ohio. The Paul's Van which Eve travels in from one job to the other is what she calls home or she crashed on the couch at the club. The band members are her only friends. The only male right now in her life is Paul who really is the band's drummer.

Prince Kryan of Draig is a dragon shifter and is one of the first four princes who is elected to come back to earth to fine a wife. Kryan is the elder of the two Draig brothers and they live in the castle with their family, on the planet Qurilixen in the Draig Mountains. Their neighbors are the Var cat shifters. Their ancestors voluneers to leave Earth a long time ago because they feared for their lives. Now they must find females because on their planet both the Draig and the Var have a shortage of female births and therefore not enough females to marry and the situation has become critical. Each shifter race need wives to have children. It took years for the royal families and the council to decide to revisit Earth. Now the four Princes have been reading and studying earth for its culture and their dialect. On this night of Eve's birthday and they decides after the performance to had few drinks, Eve decide she had enough nerves to speak the hot guy dressed as a cowboy. Kryan was trying to order drinks for the four of them and Eve told the bartender to put it on her tab. Since Eve talk to Kryan he assume because of his mangling the English Language thought Eve agree to be his bride.
After this there are some very hilarious situations, danger and hot sexy scenes. I really enjoyed reading this book. But then I haven't been disappointed with any of Michelle books
This is a hilarious story that will have you laughing from start to end.

A FANTASIC READ

I loved this. Michelle M. Pillow is my favorite author. This is a must buy book. One thing I just loved about this story is that you get so caught up in the story that you just read it from cover to cover. It is that good. I just love her writing. Another thing I just love about reading her books is that you become the woman, and you can relate to being the woman going through each and every aspect of the story. If you are looking for a book that you can just be swept away into an emotional love story, this book is for you. I love the way this author writes. I read a lot of book, and I have to say that once you read a Michelle M. Pillow book, you will want to read all the other books she has written. They are that good. An excellent writer, one I will always be reading and watching out for, this author is 5 stars. Thank you Michelle M. Pillow for another excellent book. This is a MUST BUY THIS TODAY type book. One that you will read again and again. I normally read Michelle M. Pillow's books once a year again and again just for enjoyment. They never get old. Have fun with this one, as it is fun, exciting, loving, and of course hot shape shifters. I love Michelle M Pillow's books. Have fun with this one!

UPDATE: JUNE 2016
I HAVE ADDED THE AUDIO TO MY LIBRARY: What a fun listen. I read this when it first came out and now have had time to forget some of the wonderful parts. Listening to the story and hearing some of the smart (or not) remarks by Eve and misinterpreted things by Kyran and the other Draigs, made me laugh out loud. I truly loved it even more than just the book.

Determined Prince is the delightful beginning of a new series. Five star. This is a prequel series, before dragon shifters and cat shifters changed from friends to enemies. Eve is singing in a band and allowing herself to drink this one day of the year—her birthday-- she meets dragon shifter Prince Kyran who has come for a bride. Rocker Eve thinks he's hot and talks funny, but with enough tequila she can ignore the conversation. Until she wakes up and she's not in “Kansas” anymore. Can a rocker from Cleveland become a princess? Can a staid Prince adapt to a feisty human female?
These are not the only problems. The stronger question is how do his people feel about such a match? Or are there enemies ready to do anything to prevent such a match?
I only have one problem with this book—WHERE IS THE NEXT ONE?
I was provided an ARC from the author for an honest review.

The Determined Prince is the first in a Prequel series to the Dragon Lords (Captured by a Dragon-Shifter). Loving The Dragon Lords I was excited about this spin off and can't wait for the rest of the books to come out.

Determined prince is absolutely fantastic. It is filled with humor, family togetherness and sexy hot shifter men who are looking for human brides. Kyran prince of qurilixien and a hot dragon shifter. He and his comrades travel to earth in search to find human mates. Upon entering earth he meets singer eve. Lol things start off hot and tempting until she is carried off to kyran's planet then all hell breaks lose. The banter between kyran and eve is so freaking funny lol her comments alone had be laughing and kyran for his part there is definitely misunderstandings at every turn. It makes for a joy ride of fun. Only thing it seemed to end too quickly I can't wait to read reluctant prince

Dragon Prince Kyran his brother and the Var Prince Ivar and his brother are on their way through a portal that would take them to Earth so that can bring back a wife for one of them they end up end up in Cleveland Ohio at a night club where Eve Minott is the lead singer for her Rock n' Roll Band she sees them when they come in and she has her eye on Prince Kyran he is very much interested in her they are all dressed in the late 1950 outfits and she is wondering what they are dressed for after her set since it's her birthday she decides to do shots with Paul her drummer and then she buys drinks for the princes because they don't have american money so she dances with Kyran and he ask her to be his mate and she unknowingly agrees so she is so drunk when she wakes the next morning she is in a tent in the forest on another planet in bed with Prince Kyran and she has become his bride she is not very happy with her new husband. This is a short story but well written story line with great characters. For adult readers.

I thought this book was really good. It was funny at first because Kyran and the other Prince's have outdated information about what people on Earth are like. But as Kyran and Eve interact there's times you just want to lol. It is a good story and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I love the story. Unfortunately, as soon as it was getting interesting, it ended. I'm sure that means we have to purchase the next book. A little disheartening. It did not even seem like the story had concluded. Bad writing. That's why the three stars.

I really enjoyed this book! The interaction between characters is naturally funny and it gives you a whole new view of the world we live in. This book was sexy, funny, and quick. I felt like a lot happened and the story was fast paced, I personally do not mind that. I prefer fast-paced books that make you feel like you just want to finish the story at once. Great book

Spin off for the dragon lords, loved the series so was excited when i heard these were being done. It was intriguing to see how things were before the war and hatred and how these dragons handled earth women. A great read to enjoy and had some funny moments

Not as exciting as the original Draig series but still a compelling story. It defiantly shines a light in how some of the traditions started. I am excited to see how Eve will help the shifters find their mates in the next stories.

I completely enjoyed this story of the determined prince Kyran in his search for a bride. Eve was perfect for him!. LoL. Wonderful characters and a fantastic world of dragons has me looking forward to reading more! I would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys paranormal romance. Hey, there are dragons and cat shifters here and what would be better? Totally worth your reading time!

Can you imagine 4 Princes being told to go through a portal to Earth (not knowing how to dress,act or really understanding the language) to grab a bride to return to their world. But only one at a time, and no one told them who had to be first. Of course three will decide it should be the 4th one to be first so he does. That begins the fun. Take a look at a modern day woman suddenly with a dragon shifter husband on a new planet after one night of drinking and a step though a portal.

Dragon Prince Kyran his brother and the Var Prince Ivar and his brother are on their way through a portal that would take them to Earth so that can bring back a wife for one of them they end up end up in Cleveland Ohio at a night club where Eve Minott is the lead singer for her Rock n' Roll Band she sees them when they come in and she has her eye on Prince Kyran he is very much interested in her they are all dressed in the late 1950 outfits and she is wondering what they are dressed for after her set since it's her birthday she decides to do shots with Paul her drummer and then she buys drinks for the princes because they don't have american money so she dances with Kyran and he ask her to be his mate and she unknowingly agrees so she is so drunk when she wakes the next morning she is in a tent in the forest on another planet in bed with Prince Kyran and she has become his bride she is not very happy with her new husband. This is a short story but well written story line with great characters. For adult readers.

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily decided to review. Prince Kyran was looking for him a mate so he and a few other Prince's went to Earth to find their mates. They have gone to a bar dressed like strange people Prince Kyran was dressed like a old cowboy, Prince Finn was dressed like a great warrior, Prince Ivar was dressed in the native clothing of the catshifters black pants pulled low across the hips and black shirt and Prince Rafe was dressed in white pants belled wide at the bottom with white long-shirt.

Loved the storyline: cat and dragon shifters used to live on Earth, but escaped persecution to another planet. However they are no longer giving birth to females and need to use the portal to return to Earth and find willing human females to return to their planet. This is where the humour kicks in....watching what they think is current tv on Earth, they return to blend in as a cowboy, a gay sailor and a drag queen!
