Book 25 in PDA series by Milly Taiden
Clarke is a antisocial artist that was in foster care so she has no family or friends. After one lonely night she contacts Gerri to try and find her a soulmate.
Gerri invites Clarke to a meet up but she doesn’t realised it’ll be on another planet.
Hale and Sleet go to Aurora main palace to meet up with there king to organise the Bunny Day that the human females have made similar to Easter celebrations.
I’ve really enjoyed this book and loved the new aspect with ice dragons and fire dragons.
You’d think with this been the 25th book it would start to get stale but every book just builds each world even better.
Looking forward to more about Flame and fire dragons.

A Sexy, Wonderfully Funny, and Suspenseful Story...
As I have written several times before I LOVE the Paranormal Dating Agency (PDA) book series by Milly Taiden! Last year while on the road, I read through the original twenty books in quick succession. It was hard not to fall for Taiden's vibrant and unusual story worlds and all the grumpy, growly alpha types (shifter and alien alike) within. Every PDA book in the series surrounds you with a bevy of emotionally intelligent, quirk filled characters who embark on wild, often crazy life rides that lead them to their fated mates.
And this book, "Dragon Rights", Taiden’s twenty-fifth addition to her PDA universe brings us back to one of my favorite places within the lexicon, Aurora, to revisit two of my favorites characters, Sleet and Hale!
Finally! We are at the story of Sleet and Hale, the leaders of the ice dragon clan present on shifter planet Aurora. Sleet being the often too serious, uptight, and obsessive older Alpha. And Hale, the younger, more emotionally centered, light hearted, and humor filled prankster Beta. Hale is the ying to Sleet's yang, and together they are in search of a third to complete their triad. A search that took them pleading many books back, to Gerri Wilder, who, in her typical sassy, devilish way, does not disappoint the rougish dragon duo. Instead she brings them something quite unexpected. A beautiful human, Clarke Indiana. A reclusive painter with a mysterious and sad past.
What follows is a wonderfully funny and suspense filled story of dragon tales long forgotten, old traditions made new again, and new mysteries not yet uncovered. All filled in with a sexy, panting tearing chemistry between the triad that will have you grabbing for a fan to cool yourself off with. And while this one is a bit more straightforward and serious, containing fewer of the super-charged sexy scenes some of the previous PDA installments contained. It remains a delicious, heartfelt read full of sass, humor, and wonderfully compelling characters.
My only real complaint about this particular installment were the drops in continuity where Clarke's character is concerned. Throughout the first three quarters of the book she is shrouded somewhat in mystery, her origins unknown. Origins coupled with her heated nature, and parallel Aurora plot, threads lead you to believe she is intertwined in a way that should be mind blowing. But this exciting, oh so promising build-up is then suddenly dropped and you are quickly flashed forward to the end. It's a shift that almost causes literary whiplash, and definitely leaves you scratching your head wondering why Taiden suddenly abandons such a promising set of easter eggs and subtle plot points?
It was a shift and exclusion, that for me, dropped this installment from what should have been an easy five star read, to a four star.
Now, with that said don't get me wrong. "Dragon Rights" is still a ridiculously addictive, and shamelessly entertaining story. It is an out of this world example if what Taiden does best. Give you something so addicting you impatiently wait for the next one before finishing the one your reading…

Gerri Wilder has a gift. She uses it to match mates across several worlds. In this book she matches a lonely artist from Earth with two smoking hot ice dragons on planet Aurora. This story is filled with sweet moments interspersed with steamy interludes. Action, adventure and love.

I had a really tough time getting in to this one. I did a lot of skimming. I've read some other books by Taiden in the same series and in the Alpha Geek series...and while I thought they got kind of formulaic after a while they weren't bad to read by any means. Maybe I was in the wrong mood, I'm really not sure.
I really gave zero shits about all the stuff with the kids in town and their egg hunt and it seemed like the easter egg prep was too big a part of the store for me not caring at all.
Also there was some weird stuff... Like she goes to this place to meet someone for a date....or to help before meeting her match, I can't remember which, and she has different sexual experiences with two different guys who are like "together" but not really and she doesn't realize yet they want to have a triad with her, but she has like no second thoughts or even an inkling of guilt about doing stuff with both of them like hours apart...just didn't seem very believable. I read a lot of RH books so I'm not against a triad but I just thought it was a very odd start.

The plot was more interesting that I was expecting but overall I found the writing to be sloppy and uninteresting. There were times where I was confused and for a relatively simple plot, I really don't think I should have been confused at any point. I also just prefer all legs of a triad be connected in this type of relationship. I think maybe I would have appreciated this book more if I had read some of the previous 24 books in this series. However, I think I just didn't jive with the authors writing style so I doubt reading more from her would make a difference. I'm clearly in the minority here however so if the plot summary intrigues you, maybe give this one a shot!
