Alpha Dragon shifter Zander Survalor lost his clan when he began working for the Global Shifter Council. He never thought he’d go home again.

Light My Fire is book one in the sweet with knotty heat MM shifter mpreg romance series: GSC in Love. It features an alpha dragon shifter who has secrets, a powerful omega witch who isn’t afraid to fight, fated love, mpreg and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

The Review

This is my first story from Katy Manz. It’s a good paranormal/romance story with fated mates.

Rayne and Zander come into contact because Zander’s clan has attacked Rayne’s coven and pack, but they know instinctively who they are to one other. It turns out that there is a specific reason for the attack, but a lot of things now must be taken into consideration.

Rayne never planned on having a mate, and is very hesitant about what it means for his identity and independence, while Zander is already planning what their lives could be like together. However, unlike what Rayne imagines and some alphas can be like, Zander is all for equality at every point of their relationship. He wants to decide things together.

I enjoyed the build-up of their relationship, the storyline regarding Zander’s father and the attacks on Rayne’s coven. It’s is something that doesn’t just stop, once the two meet. Things continue, even once an agreement between clan and coven/pack is made, which has Rayne very much on edge.

I struggled a little bit with his hesitancy when it came to trusting Zander, even after their mating, and, to me, it didn’t really feel like they connected on that deeper level that fated mates are known for. I also thought that the plot wrapped up a little too quickly and neatly. We’ll see if something happens in the future to bring that drama back into the series.

Overall, this is a good start to the series, introducing readers into this new family that has many possibilities for future characters with their own HEA.

The Reviewer

Hello all, my name is Xanthe and I am excited to be a reviewer for the PRG.

I read a lot, every night for at least 4-5 hours and I love to get lost in the world that an author has created. The best ones leave you wanting more and at a loss for words to describe just how good it is but I’ll try my best.

I live in a small town in South West England, just me and my dog Bonnie. I work part time in administration and really enjoy my job and the people I work with which I am very aware is not always the case!

I’ll read pretty much any sub genre within the mm genre. Since discovering it a few years ago, I rarely read anything else. One thing I won’t touch is horror, a definite no no for me!

Never ask me what my favourite anything is as I’ll have to give you a list of about ten or twenty things. How am I able to pick one food, book or film out of so many that I love?!

Summary: Every night the monsters hunt. A city that is the whole world: Theosophy and her companions in the City militia do their best to protect the civilians from the monsters, but they keep crawling from the Rift and there’s nowhere to run. Theosophy knows she’ll die fighting. It’s the best kind of death she’s seen, and at least she can save lives in the meantime. They say the Scarred carve you up while you’re still alive. A village in the shadow of a forest: Refugees from the border whisper about the oncoming Scarred, but Briony can’t convince her brother to relocate his children to safety. Briony will do anything to protect them. She owes them that much, even if it means turning to forbidden magic. When Theosophy and Briony accidentally make contact across the boundaries of their worlds, they realize that solutions might finally be within reach. A world beyond the City would give Theosophy’s people an escape, and the City’s warriors could help Briony protect her family from the Scarred. Each woman sees in the other a strength she lacks—and maybe something more. All they need to do is find a way across the dimensions to each other before their enemies close in.

Summary: When will She open Rebecca Northcote’s box? Finding lost poodles and retrieving stolen baubles is not how DI Tim Stoker envisioned his partnership with his lover, Hieronymus Bash. So when the police commissioner's son goes missing, he's determined to help, no matter what secrets he has to keep, or from whom. When a family member is kidnapped, Hiero moves heaven and earth to rescue them. Even if that means infiltrating the Daughters of Eden, a cult of wealthy widows devoted to the teachings of Rebecca Northcote and the mysterious contents of her box. The Daughters' goodwill toward London's fallen women has given them a saintly reputation, but Hiero has a nose for sniffing out a fraud. He will need to draw on some divine inspiration to rattle the pious Daughters. Like weeds gnarling the roots of Eden's fabled tree, Tim and Hiero's cases intertwine. Serpents, secrets, and echoes from Hiero's past lurk behind every branch. Giving in to temptation could bind them closer together—or sever their partnership forever.
