Purchase options and add-ons

Sky Broussard has spent the last nine years of her life fighting for custody and raising her nephews. Between trying to make ends meet as a waitress at the Bon Temps Café, and keeping an eye on two troublesome teens, she’s had zero time for indulgences like romance.

No worries, she hasn’t been interested in the opposite sex for a long time. Not until she meets the snarling, growling, hotter-that-an-inferno hunk who caught her nephews trespassing on his swampland deep in the Louisiana bayou.

Too bad he’s off his rocker. Seriously. He thinks he’s a dragon, calls her his mate, follows her home, and refuses to leave her side. She really should put a stop to the insanity. She really should. Except, her libido is running on overdrive and, who knows, he might be her chance to finally lose her V-card.

This is the first book of Candace Ayers' latest series, Dragons of the Bayou. This book introduces the series, the setting, and a few of the characters thereby priming the stage for subsequent shifter romances set in the swamplands of the deep south.

This is a hot and spicy, super steamy paranormal dragon shifter fantasy romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. Fans of Zoe Chant, Terry Bolryder, Harmony Raines and Ruby Dixon may like this dragon shapeshifter series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Struggling to Change
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

The story is one of Sky, Beast, Nick, and Casey struggles to cope with the past and change for the future. The attraction of Beast and Sky provides the catalyst for the growth of all of them. The story has the requisite dragons, fated mates, gigantic errors in judgment, and the clumsy attempts to make things right. The story was interesting and the characters had me rooting for their success.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

Tl;dr review:
Nonexistent plot, shallow characters, and sex that was present but meh, because it was, like the rest of the story, rushed and not thoroughly developed. Male lead was like a caricature, but Female lead was funny. Overall, it was entertaining in a fun, cheesy way, but nothing about it was particularly compelling or panty-melting.

The Plot:
There is no external plot outside of Sky’s internal indecision. There isn’t really a great conflict, things develop a bit too quickly, and the whole thing is little like a fan boat—just skimming across the top of the water.

The characters:
Sky is funny. Her narration is entertaining. Beast isn’t terribly likeable. He seemed a little ridiculous, like a caricature of the character the author wanted him to be. That alone made him less than attractive to me as well. The nephews are a bit unbelievable. Their antics are plausible, but I think their reaction about their aunt with a dragon at the end is a little off.

The sex:
Meh. MxF. Rushed. Detailed but not enough. Like the rest of the book, the sex seemed to skim the surface, and quickly at that. Things seemed rushed, and I didn’t really buy in like I wanted to.

I enjoyed this book. Not too long but long enough to get what I needed. Beast was over the top controlling but came to realize he needed to accommodate his mate. With a HEA it was a good book

Well written and fast paced para romance. Read it in one day. Loved the story of a single Mom with teenagers and the grumpy old fashioned dragon. Both taking journeys that they have never been on before. Recommend to those who love paranormal romances with HEA.

if you do not know Candace's Dragon yet do not waist your time.
It was full of misunderstandings, teenage angst, dragons, new world building, and true mates finding their way together! Enjoyable read and great intro to the next dragon characters book .
Each book has its own style and offers a very different experience each time. Find the one that best suits your taste in this series.

What a lot of fun this book was. I totally loved Beast and Sky was perfect for him, he made me feel warm and fuzzy with his “ caveman” ways. It will be great to meet the rest of the Dragons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed Beast.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2020

This was not how I expected it to be. I really enjoyed it though. Sky was an amazing Aunt to the boys, giving all she could. I could have given her youngest Nephew a shake a time or two for being so selfish. Beast came across as being too old fashioned considering how long he'd been around. I'd have loved to have read a longer story with more background to Sky's past and the reason she's in the situation she is and a bigger epilogue too. Otherwise a great story and I'm looking forward to Cezars story.
