BOOK SYNOPSIS

Stealing Hope Cover


The apocalypse has come and gone.

Those who survived learned to adapt.

Dragons awaken to once again reign over the skies.

Upon eruption of a volcano, Ari awakens to a changed world, and a knowing that his dragon's mate is near. He saves her twice—once as a dragon, and again as a man—and wins her confidence.

Hope cried out, moaning, “just change me with pleasure?”

Hope is restless and unfulfilled until she meets Ari, the man of her fantasies. The sensual tension between them heightens with every touch. When their passion explodes, Hope gets pulled into the dragon's mating ritual...and into a world of erotic sensation she never dreamed existed but now cannot live without. The dragon binds his mate to him with a ritual that shows Hope her true nature in this humorous erotic romance.

EXCERPT

She heard Crag snickering somewhere behind her. She turned and splashed at him too.
“I would have saved you. If you’d quit splashing and stand up, you’ll see you could stand.”
Ari frowned suddenly. “Oh no. You can’t stand with your leg.” He started toward her and Hope
pushed deeper into the water.
“Leave me be.” She began treading water, deep enough that she didn’t have to put weight on her leg. Ignoring both of them, she sank under water to get her hair out of her face. When she popped out Hope screamed. Ari was right there, grinning at her. “What the heck?”
“I was just making sure you were okay.” His eyes twinkling at her.
No way was she falling for that, no matter how attractive it made him.
“And I brought you the soap. How will you get clean without it?”
“Fine. Give me the soap.”
Ari held it back out of her reach.
“No. You’ll drop it out here.”
Hope growled at him. Yes, she sure did. Hope didn’t know quite how to take his teasing, if
he was teasing.
Ari laughed. “You can come in closer and I’ll help hold you while you wash or I can wash
you here while you float.”
Hope didn’t answer, but she swam in closer to shore. No way was she letting him run his
hands all over her.

MY REVIEW:

STEALING HOPE IS BOOK 1 OF A DRAGON'S FATED HEART.  I REALLY ENJOYED READING STEALING HOPE. IT WAS A FAST READ FOR ME.  IT IS FILLED WITH PARANORMAL AND EROTICA.  WE ARE INTRODUCED TO ARI WHO IS A DRAGON WHO JUST AWOKE FROM A LONG SLEEP.  ARI RESCUES HOPE WHO IS HIS SOUL MATE. THERE IS INSTANT CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM.  ARI AND HOPE STEAM UP THE PAGES THROUGHOUT THE STORY.  I LOVED ALL THE CHARACTERS INCLUDING ARI'S BROTHER.  THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN THE BROTHERS AND HOPE WAS VERY ENTERTAINING.  I FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING ALONG WITH THE CHARACTERS.  ARI AND HIS BROTHERS HELP HOPE ADJUST TO BEING A DRAGON AND TAKE HER HOME TO HER FAMILY SO THAT THEY KNOW SHE IS FINE.  WILL HOPE AND ARI HAVE THEIR HAPPY EVER AFTER?

STEALING HOPE LEFT ME WANTING MORE AT THE END.  I WANTED TO HEAR MORE OF ARI AND HOPE'S STORIES AND ARI'S BROTHERS.  I LOVE BEVERLY OVALLE'S WRITING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES.  IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PARANORMAL AND EROTICA READ, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STEALING HOPE  4 STARS




CHARACTER BIOS

Ari:
Male dragon, black scales tipped with blue and golden eyes. When he changes Ari has black hair, golden eyes and stocky muscular body that he doesn’t mind showing off. Outgoing with a wicked sense of humor, He has one thing on his mind, his mate. He’ll do anything to make her his, especially if it involves getting naked. He runs on the theory that it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Hope:
Human, for the moment. Fated mate to Ari. She can’t seem to resist him and doesn’t understand why. She is self-sufficient, providing her family with meat from hunting and trapping small game. She is fearless and has no problem rescuing herself. She loves to play though she hasn’t had a lot of that in her life as her family focuses on survival. Family is all important to her.




AUTHOR BIO



Beverly Ovalle dabbled with writing on and off for years when her best friend finally dared her to submit a story to a writing contest. Beverly decided she had nothing to lose and since she’d always wanted to be an author sent it in and agonized for months waiting to hear back. Contract in hand she has never looked back.

Beverly has been obsessed with dragons and romance since she was a young girl, collecting dragon books and reading everything she could find on them even down to the care of real life dragons. She’s always been slightly panicked that the world as we know it will end, so has prepped for it, haunting survivalist pages and prepper projects she felt she needed in the event SHTF.

An avid fan of all romance, Beverly’s goal is to share her love of the written word and write the hot and erotic romances that she enjoys. She writes what she loves to read and it was only a matter of time before her obsessions crept into her writing for her to share. She hopes you enjoy her tales as much as she loves writing them.

A Navy Veteran, Beverly has traveled around the world and the United States enabling her to bring her settings to life, meeting and marrying her husband of twenty five years along the way for her own romance. Reading romances since the fourth grade she’s followed as the genre changed and spread into the vast cornucopia of romance offered today.
