Runaway Dragonette: BBW Dragon Shapeshifter Romance (Dragon Planet Romance Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 35 ratings

When the Dragon King demands that Princess Verity choose a romantic partner from 26 dragon shapeshifters, she’s not allowed to say, “No.” But she has to.

Verity must escape her father’s romance plans for her, but it won’t be easy with cameras broadcasting her every move and the whole Dragon Planet watching.

Meanwhile on Earth, Ryan, a tech industry millionaire, loves dragons more than anything in the real world. He has moved back to his home town to run a dragon-centered bookstore. When a portal misfire lands Verity in Ryan’s store, the attraction is instant and irresistible.

Ryan jumps at the chance to compete to win Verity’s hand. The Dragon King allows it. He doesn’t expect a computer nerd human to survive a competition with fire-breathing dragonshifters.

Can Ryan win the dragon princess's hand by defeating a pack of hulking, jealous, firebreathing dragon men who don’t play fair? Will Verity be able to save her true mate from death by dragon fire?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Lynne Murray has the uncanny ability to blend voices and genres and even to pay homage to the books influencing her writing while making the blend uniquely her own. Flying by us in Runaway Dragonette, a glorious melange that is both tour de farce and tour de force, are the Rings, Avalon, Dragonfyre, Harry Potter, and of course Lynne's own wonderful previous work. Most amazingly, she manages to combine fantasy and romance with a considerable touch of satire, and yet somehow keep the romance convincing and suspenseful, to boot. (Hint, hint - gets hot as a dragon's breath!)
"Human male, Ryan, who loves and fantasizes about dragons, meets dragon shape shifter, Verity, whom he has only seen in a reality Bachelorette show illegally transmitted from the Dragon Planet. He falls hard for her. She falls hard for him. Will they manage to get together and claim each other for life? Read the book." - Frannie Zellman, author of
The Fatland Trilogy

From the Author

Runaway Dragonette is the first paranormal romance I've written. My other books have romantic comedy, but this one is definitely the hottest one yet. Now that I know how to open the bedroom door, watch out for the next one--Bachelor Dragon Blues, coming soon, ahem!

Lynne Murray was born in Illinois, but she grew up in transit due to her father's work with the military. She's lived in Texas, Alaska, Florida, Washington state, and Southern California, before landing and staying in San Francisco.

Lynne writes the kind of books she loves to read. Those usually feature a lot of action, quirky characters and supernatural attitude. She just might read anything that isn't tied down, but some of the books that have to be restrained also make it onto her list. Her favorite authors include Illona Andrews, Faith Hunter, Patricia Briggs, Kim Hamilton, Terry Pratchett and T.H. White.

She now lives and writes and stares out the window at the ocean with a group of rescue cats, who rescue her right back with heroic feats of purring.

    Lynne Murray's Runaway Dragonette grabbed me from the start and just kept running. Murray has the ability to mix love, sex, humor, and adventure in the perfect proportions. Her shape shifting dragonette, Verity, is a heroine to root for as she avoids her possible fate as the prize for a reality TV show's dragon shapeshifter, while finding a good human, Ryan, to love. Both Verity and Ryan are very easy to love. Not only do they love each other but I loved them. And the TV Dragonette show was hysterical! Verity and Ryan deserve their happily ever after. And I'm now happily looking forward to more shapeshifter reality TV shows with other couples. I know Murray won't disappoint. Her imagination never stops!

    While waiting for another book in Lynne Murray's Valkyrie series, I was delighted to discover this new novel set on another planet in the Valkyrie universe, as well as in the Forbidden Zone (Earth). In Murray's cosmos Earth is off-limits to extraterrestrials because of Earthlings' pesky tendency to worship visiting aliens. But inhabitants of the Dragon Planet have developed a fondness for Earth's reality TV. Couple that with the dwindling birthrate among full-blooded dragons and the dragon king's desire for an heir -- or grand-heir -- and the king's daughter, Verity, finds herself the reluctant star of a Dragon Planet version of The Bachelorette. Read & enjoy.

    I found myself drawn to this book because it was about a female dragon and how things looked from her POV. I'm used to reading about alpha males, so this was a refreshing change.

    I liked that Verity was headstrong and smart and refused to settle for what her family though was best. I liked that she educated herself and was aware of the tricks that would have been played on her and the consequences she would face if they were successful. I was extremely happy when she finally met Ryan face to face. I didn't like that it took so long in the book for them to finally meet. I'm not a huge fan of the bachelor type reality shows, but I was okay with the theme of it in this book.

    Ryan and Verity face many challenges with him basically being forbidden and her being one of the few remaining fertile dragon females. So many people want Verity to "do the right thing" and choose one of the bachelors, even though she felt nothing for them and it seemed they were all there for the wrong reasons. Her family was very traditional and cared nothing for her happiness.

    I liked this book, but I wish there was more focus on Verity and Ryan together. I enjoyed the last 50% more than the beginning. I would definitely read more from this author.

    **I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

    Verity is getting ready to be on a reality show for dragons. Twenty-six dragons competing to be with her. Ryan is a millionaire that just so happened to love anything to do with dragons so when a friend showed him a video from the dragon reality show he fell for Verity. However he thought it was all fake and very well done for something like that. When something happens and he meets Verity he knows its fate. He is put on the show an must prove that he has what it takes to be Verity's mate. Can Ryan win the competition with the odds against him?

    This is a great story that will draw you in and have you rooting for the couple to get together. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend it to any book lover.

    Yep that is what this series is about. On Dragon Planet the King loves reality tv. King Harrenholz decides to make his daughter Verify be the bachelorette to twenty six Dragon shifter bachelors. She just has to narrow it down to one. Only problem is she doesn't want to do it. She escapes to Earth and meets Ryan Mason a self made millionaire who loves all things dragon even though he's a human. They also discover that they are mates. So this is where the fun starts. Because she's in that tv show she has to douse herself with perfume that neutralizes the mating pheromones she is producing and so does Ryan. This story is both funny, sexy and backstabbing. It does have a happy ending.
