I loved everything about this story. The flashbacks to Alexander and Maiara’s love story were heart warming and so, so heartbreaking. Raven performed phenomenal feats of magic and Maiara had her own spectacular moments. And then there was the breathtaking tension around Aborella and her attempts to take our heroes to Paragon. I can’t wait to read more about the rest of the dragon siblings. And on a side note, I cannot end this review without saying that Nick is awesome. This is the series for you if you like dragons, magic, and soulmates.

I'm 100% new to Genevive Jack, and being dropped into the fourth book into a seriers is probably not ideal. But let me tell you, this did not hinder my reqding experiance at all!
Told from multiple main and previous characters point of view this story captured my interest. The story line itself was one of the best executed of that nature I have ever read.
While set in present day, this story jumps back and forth from 1699 to 2018. It followed effortlessly. Which was probably no easy feat to make happen.
My heart broke for Alexander. And soared when things started going in his favour. Going though his journey could not have been easy at all.
Genevieve Jack has woven a tale that you can sink your teeth into. I didn't feel as though I couldn't keep up seeing as I hadn't read books 1-3 but I also felt that to fully understand, the other books are a must.

Another great story in the series, this time with Maiara and Alexander's story. She is a mysterious woman, Alexander has lost someone. I just absolutely love this series, every character, every story, Genevieve Jack has taken my love for Dragon shifters to a new level. A must read, I suggest you read them all!

2.5 stars. It was kinda boring, and the fact that most of the story is told in flashbacks was bothersome for me. It kept pausing the story to go back to the present and that broke the pace. Not much happens and the "plot twist" was super predictable. I liked Alex, though, I kept imagining him like Klaus from The Umbrella Academy, LOL.

*I received this book as an ARC which in no way altered my opinions.*
The sixth installment of The Treasure of Paragon series, Highland Dragon is the book we’ve been waiting for. Avery, Raven’s older sister who stood by her sister’s side during sickness and health, is tasked with finding the elusive brother of the other dragons, Xander. From the beginning, with Raven’s book and the previous novels, we get little glimpses into who Avery is. She is more than a sister, daughter, caregiver, and barkeep.Highland Dragon is where Avery goes from a secondary character to a badass willing to fight for herself, her family, and her friends. This isn’t just another installment of a paranormal book, this is an example of the struggle women have in not saying yes to everything and standing up for themselves. Honestly, the character growth was amazing and I didn’t think I could love anyone as much as I loved Alexander but I was wrong.
I think because both Avery and Xander are fleshed out by Genevive Jack it feels like it’s more than a story about dragons. Sure they’re cool but it’s a story in which a woman finds the depths of herself and what she is willing to do for her family and friends. This story is beautifully told. Each story builds on the one preceding it but the effort that was taken by Genevive to build the world went above and beyond other authors. I cannot wait for the next book!

Another amazing tale
This series is blowing my mind! I love how the stories are both an individual tale of the main characters and a continuation of all that has come before. Many authors seem to get overwhelmed by the addition of new characters as the books grow in number and start leaving people out of the story... not so in these books! The story picks right up where it left off, everyone is involved, and it flows so beautifully that you simply cannot put it down! It’s fantastic world-building meets amazing writing skills! I’m going to devour everything she writes once I finish these books.

The fourth book in the Treasure of Paragon series features Alexander and Maiara and their tragic fate. When the dragons were sent from Paragon, they eventually made their way to the New World in the 17th century. Maiara was their guide through the wilderness, a woman of unusual talents. She became Alexander's mate, but tragically died. Now, in present day Sedona, Alexander's pain is eating him alive and his only reminder of his love is a charmed hawk, who seems to have acquired the one thing Maiara did not: immortality. But when Alexander's siblings converge on his world to reveal the truth about Paragon, his life is immeasurably altered.
I admit, I almost gave up on this story. The first half is a bit plodding and slow, and I had to believe it would get better. Boy howdy, did it! When the plot finally picks up, it picks up fast and the remaining story flew by in no time! Now, I'll be eagerly awaiting Book 5.

Glad i'm sticking with this series. Each book still quite entertaining. What i really like is that altho each book focuses on a different sibling, the siblings from prior books still play MC roles and even have chapters in their own voice. Often in series' like this you lose track of prior MCs as the series progresses. I really love that this series carries all the MCs thru each book
