About this ebook

The Bermuda Triangle. Pirates. The Peanut. What could possibly go wrong?

Dragos Cuelebre needs a vacation. So does Pia, his mate. When the First Family of the Wyr head to Bermuda for some much needed R&R, it's no ordinary undertaking - and no ordinary weekend in the sun. Between hunting for ancient treasure buried beneath the waves and keeping track of their son, Liam—a.k.a. Peanut, whose Wyr abilities are manifesting far ahead of schedule—it’s a miracle that Pia and Dragos can get any time together.

They're determined to make the most of each moment, no matter who tries to get in their way. And did we mention pirates?

For fans of DRAGON BOUND and LORD’S FALL, passion, playfulness, and adventure abound in this Elder Races novella. (29,500 words)

DRAGOS TAKES A HOLIDAY is part of a three-story series about Pia, Dragos, and Peanut. Each story stands alone, but fans might want to read all three: DRAGOS TAKES A HOLIDAY, PIA SAVES THE DAY, and PEANUT GOES TO SCHOOL.

    I actually read ahead quite a bit in the series to read this for the Beach Party Read-a-thon of the #COYER Challenge but it is not really necessary for the story to have read more than the first couple of books. There are side characters I hadn't met before, but their backstory is not part of this, so it didn't seem to me like there were many spoilers if you read this out of sequence.

    What does a dragon do for a relaxing vacation? Search for treasure of course! This is a fast and fun addition to the Elder Races world in which we get to see Pia skillfully manipulate Dragos in the direction she wants to go (for his own good), and get to enjoy the antics of a magical baby discovering his powers, you know, because a human baby isn't enough of a challenge all on his own!

    If you want a quick and eventful jaunt to Bermuda, try this on for size! Dragos is such a fun alpha male character who is so easily steered by Pia, and pretty predictable in his alphaness, but that's what makes him such a good read! When you're the top of the food chain, your challenges are a little different than everyone else's!

    Best one to date. It was hot, sweet, funny and oh so cute!
    I live how we got to see Pia and Dragos in a more normal and domestic setting, and the parts of the story from Liam/Peanut's point of view were so cute and entertaining. Keeping up with a smart and skillfull baby dragon proves to be quite a challenge, even for his parents

    I never knew why it had a bodice-ripper cover. Just because it have Dragos in its title? Its a story about a dragon and a unicorn with their kid on a holiday for a treasure hunting session in the Caribbean. The cover should have a baby dragon in it because Liam owned this book. If you haven't follow the Elder Races' series, basically it started around the aftermath of "Kinked". Dragos lost two of his sentinels to their mates which didn't help with the workload and the demesne suffered some trade embargo from the elven demesne which then was resolved with a war against the Numenlaur elves where they became enthralled by an ancient elf who hold a God Machine. Now that his sentinels were all peachy right after "Kinked", Pia wanted Dragos to have some time off from governing the Wyr demesne and need help in figuring out how to raise a dragon child together.

    Its a short novella with some plot thought out but the main focus was the characterization between the dragon's family which their story was still ongoing from the first book. In this story, we finally had some variety with the added light faes and dwarf characters. This time we had the story of the light fae demesne when they migrated from Europe and I guess from the hints, I know what the next novel will be about.
    This book was just plain adorable because Liam has his own POVs in it. A several month old child's POVs, can you believe it? It was like reading Baby's Days Out with the baby shape-shifting into a dragon-unicorn hybrid. Liam adoring his parents. Liam trying to crawl. Liam trying to fly. Liam with his bunny. Liam getting into trouble with the bad guys. Liam's Days Out, I want more of that. Please?

    I love the Peanut! I can't wait to see him grow as a character in future books.

    Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.Thea Harrison’s Elder Races series takes familiar romance and paranormal tropes to a level unparalleled in the genre, and DRAGOS TAKES A HOLIDAY is a great example of her prowess. This story shows us a glimpse behind the Happily-Ever-After curtain, after Pia marries the powerful, sexy billionaire, after her child is born, after her ordinary life is exposed to the limelight. This story takes place after all of the familiar “end of story” bookmarkers, yet the continuing romance of Pia and Dragos is as nuanced, electric, and entertaining as ever.Though I love the paranormal details sprinkled throughout this story, like the challenges of raising a shifter toddler or Dragos using his magic to search for treasure, at it’s heart this story is about young parents and the reality of life after marry the ultra-rich, famous heartthrob of your dreams. Pia’s relationship with the greater shifter community is hampered by the need to keep her nature secret. With the introduction of the Peanut, her precocious, powerful son, those secrets look like they’ll be harder and harder to keep. I found myself at the edge of my seat, imagining not only how this young family will grow and change, but also how Pia’s relationship with her peers will develop. All of her secrets are interwoven through Liam’s nature, how can they remain hidden?There are a few authors who offer novellas that are as intriguing and satisfying as their full length novels. Patricia Briggs, Meljean Brook, and Ilona Andrews all come to mind in this category. With this novella, Thea Harrison joins this list, offering a satisfying glimpse of the Elder Races world and whetting my appetite for the next full length novel. KINKED may tide me over for a bit, another re-read will also buy me some time, but eventually, nothing but Elder Races #7 will satisfy me.Sexual Content: Sex scenes.
