Could I have finished this? Yeah, sure. Do I really feel the need to bother? No.
The premise of this story is honestly a promising one. I liked that these were characters in their 30's with aspects of their lives figured out. But the execution of this story was... not great. Like, it's fine. Tolerable in most places.
But at the same time, I don't feel much of a connection to this story. I know I'm DNFing, but if this story were slightly better written with 100 extra pages to really get into the world of this story and give the characters room to shine and grow and exist, I actually would have had a better chance of finishing this book, and maybe even moving on to the next. But as it is, everything in this story is very surface level. Very flat, 2D. Basic.
If you're looking for a quick read without much in it, maybe this is more for you than it was for me.

These series feel a bit formulaic by this writing group. The first book is secret baby (Her Dragon Daddy and Daddy Biker Bear). The second is protective whatever (Protector Bear and Her Dragon Protector). This just seems like a lack of creativity/originality. Going through the motions, even. If this is a collective, I would think that there would be more opportunity for diverse stories. Also, the whole dark web thing was silly. Like the dark web is completely separate from the internet or has a specific website or password to enter. Think I'm done with these authors for a while, if not permanently.

I soooo wanted to like this book more… I didn’t feel the connection between the main characters, steam was almost nonexistent, would have loved a more bad ass dragon, especially for an alpha. I don’t think I will be continuing on with the series sadly.

Dragon shifter book. I liked the couple, but the quasi-3rd-act-breakup was kinda meh, as it didn't make sense to me. It just didn't vibe with the characters. But I appreciated the mom's love for her kids and the family dynamics the Kinston family had.

The plot idea is interesting, but the execution wasn’t great. I DNF’d at 54%. The writing is just choppy and the characters seem very two dimensional and sort of immature. Not my cup of tea.
