Mathias: Dragofin Mated, Book #3


Excerpt:

She looked up, not clearly focused and blew a raspberry. “Ha! You’re just saying that to make me happy. You want me to be happy, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do. I want to be happy too,” he almost whispered the confession.

“You can make me happy by kissing me then. Matt, no one’s ever wanted to kiss me. Does my breath smell or something?”

He laughed. She was beyond anything he could have fashioned for his perfect mate. Wren was both seductive and naive at the same time.

“No, your breath is fine. I’ve always wanted to kiss you too.”

“Really? Then prove it. I dare you to kiss me, beautiful Matt. And, where’s my purse?” she asked, trying to turn in a circle as he ran over to hold her up. “What did my purse ever do to you? I can’t find it.”

“Your purse is on your shoulder,” he said, keeping the gentleness in his voice. She was so funny and entertaining. He could stay like this, just the two of them, forever.

“I still can’t find it. Was my purse mean to you?”

“No, I put it on your shoulder.”


“Okay—I trust you beautiful Matt. Now kiss me, please?”

This was dangerous ground they were treading. Wren was in no mood to move into this part of their relationship in her current state. Matt wouldn’t take advantage of the situation to get what he wanted either. Never in a thousand years would he have figured this time would come. Here they were, Wren asking him to kiss her and him bound to respect her by denying her.

“Wren, I can’t kiss you now—not like this.”

“Why not? I can learn real fast. Give me my phone. I have WiFi on my phone. Let me Gooby it and then I’ll be ready.”

“Don’t you mean Google it?”

“I just said that. Hey, are you trying to confuse me? I know what I just said, beautiful Matt. Matt, you’re so hot.”

“Thank you.”


Author Bio: Mychal Daniels grew up fantasizing about the wonderment of what ifs. This love spilled over into her ability to weave stories that arrested the attention of her siblings and friends. After going the way of the office drone for far too many seasons, she decided to follow her love of romance, fantasy and storytelling to create and share her highly imaginative take on the great what ifs. The result is these books that allow you to step into the world of her fanciful imagination. Enjoy and don’t forget to leave a review while Mychal is off lassoing in your next book boyfriend!

Wren, sadly free of her best friends shadow, vows to never set foot near the Liar or the clan again.  One terrifying brush with death and she was ready to get back into the dull routine that was her life.  The life she was speed-walking away from was suited for Quinn.  She was everything Wren was not:  adventurous, brave, combative, headstrong, pushy.  No, words like predictable, secure, and reliable, those were her words.  Safe in the comforting cocoon of her kitchen, Wren was sure she made the right decision.  So why did a pair of beautiful soulful blue eyes haunt her waking moments and delight her sleeping ones?

Mathais kicked himself on the daily for letting Wren walk away from their budding attraction.  How could she not see how much she meant to him?  How she belonged to him and only him?  The connection he felt was so real and time away from her was weakening him.   His beast was constantly on alert and hated the fact she was not near.  Would his patience be rewarded or punished in the end?

To see was the general theme of this book.  Wren was unable to see not only her beauty and creativeness, but her worth.  A simple life was for her because that's all she thought she was capable of.  Her perception of reality was basic, and unbeknownst to her completely opposite of reality.

Wren blossoms in this book.  Things come to light and secrets that she had been guarding her whole life come to the surface.  She learns to accept things, she learns to love, but most importantly she learns her self-worth.  The story and circumstances surrounding her re-birth are spellbinding, and I will be re-reading this book again and again!  The vividness of this sorcery of a script consumes the reader and you will fall face first into their world without a backwards glance.  The heartbreaking part is coming back from this fantastic journey to face the reality of the conclusion to this part.  This book is a treasure-trove to scifi geeks such as myself, and I found this part of myself salivating with pure adulterated joy several times throughout this story.

The best part about this series?  It keeps getting better!  The first book had a good hook, the second one made sure you would continue the series, but this one?  It captures your heart and renews your faith in love.  Bravo Mrs. Daniels. You have not only earned a diehard fan, but captured a one-click spot on my Amazon's most wanted list.  I cannot wait for this journey to begin again!!
