Description de l’éditeur
Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!
An uninhibited woman to match his untamed soul. That would be this dragon's ideal wife.
Dragon-shifter Lord Vladan is not like his noble brothers. Adopted into their family after a mining accident killed his parents, he is every bit as titled as his new brothers, and every bit as welcome into the fold. Yet he can't help but feel the pull of his commoner past. He loves his family, and will always do as duty demands, but a part of him still yearns to shift into dragon form and run free in the wild. It is a side he indulges every chance he gets. This is how he knows his bride will be the most wild of creatures, for he wants passion, not perfection.
Surely the gods are mistaken when they bind him to the most refined, reserved, frustratingly perfect creature in the universe.
Polished, dignified and reserved in all things. That is a true noble.
Lady Clara of the Redding, a living statue of perfection, has been raised a true Redde noblewoman. She has been taught to never show emotion, to never raise her voice, to touch as little as possible, and to never act wildly or rashly.
According to her people's custom, the new generation cannot begin until the current one is settled. She is the last of her siblings without a husband and her pregnant sisters will remain in stasis until she's married.
After Clara denies all suitable males on her home world, her parents are left with one choice--send her to a primitive place where several alien noblemen await mates. The men hardly appear picky about their choices, and her parents think it a perfect arrangement for a reluctant bride.
Book Seven of the Dragon Lords series:This is the original Dragon Lords series by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.
“Who doesn’t love a dragon-shifter adopted into a noble family? Michelle M. Pillow does it again with another sizzling bathtub read. That’s true love, right there.” - A.C. James, New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author

Praise For The Reluctant Lord
5 Stars! “The hero is utterly swoon-worthy, and while the couple doesn't see eye-to-eye all the time, they certainly have a chemistry that neither can't deny. I found this to be an incredibly fun read.” Jamie Bee, Reading Fanatic Reviews
5 Stars! “…well written and interesting…” Tricia Wright, BookBub
5 Stars! "This is my favorite of a very fine series. This is the clash of two very opposing cultures as a sensitive noblewoman under tight societal restrictions marries an emotional, carefree dragonshifter who prefers to avoid his aristocratic status. Lovely." Alice, Goodreads

The Reluctant Lord
Dragon Shifter Vladan is adopted, he always respect his Royal family but sometimes he crave simpler life and more wild.
His Mate is proper Princes who refused to pick a husband.
The events brought them together but…they are totally opposite. So what is this pull between them? Must be some misunderstanding or maybe not.

The story continues
I really enjoyed this book. I think one of the things that I am really liking about this series is how much background story there is in each book in addition to the main romance. This book advances the story quite a bit and answers some of the questions from previous books but the couple are what made this book amazing for me. Lady Clara is so completely different from any of the other women and especially from anyone Vlad or anyone on the planet has ever met. I love the way Michelle M. Pillow slowly feeds us bits of who and what Lady Clara is. I also enjoyed how clueless Ms. Pillow makes Vlad without ever making him seem stupid or mean. It is evident that he is trying hard to be a good husband but their cultures are just too different. Ms. Pillow makes sure that it comes across how hard both of them are trying to make things work. This is one of the things that I like best about the Ms. Pillow’s books that I have read in that she brings real problems into the relationships that she writes about. These are not books where things end with the wedding and they live “happily ever after”. I guess that even people on different worlds have to work things out.

A Wild Man and a Reserved Bride
This one is a real fish-outta-water, opposites attract romance, with a cross-culture flare. I really liked the juxtaposition of Clara’s ultra-stiff Victorian-esque culture with Vlad’s culture that’s more similar to Vikings. The resolution of the Tyoe storyline was surprising and well-done. I’m really enjoying this series and I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
