Tears of the Dragon: A Zodiac Shifters Paranormal Romance: Aries Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 124 ratings

A myth twisted through the centuries,
A prophecy that survived history,
A cure no one dared to touch…


She seeks the Golden Fleece…
As a researcher and professor of Mythology and Folklore at Harvard University, Aileen Callas wants to do much more than tell her students some old, barely authentic stories. She wants to prove the myths are real. After all, one of these ancient myths saved her life as a child. A dark prophecy warns against prying. Undeterred, Aileen assembles a team of investigators and sets on a journey in pursuit of the truth.

Cursed to guard an ancient treasure…
Isolated in the mountains, bound to an old, powerful object, Drakon has lost all sense of time and space. He was waiting for something, but he can’t remember what. Or, was it someone? If only he could sleep for an hour, if only he could close his eyes and dream, maybe it would all come back to him: his true name, his mission, his humanity, the memory of her…

Unaware of the danger, Aileen steps into the dragon’s cave.
Lured by her beauty, Drakon can’t decide if he wants to turn her into dinner, or sweep her off her feet.

He wants to eat her (in more ways than one), she wants to save him.

But there are vile men on Aileen’s trail, and all they want is to kill the dragon, steal the Golden Fleece, and get rid of the expert in Greek Mythology.

Tears of the Dragon is a full, standalone novella, with a happily-ever-after, and NO cliffhangers. Intended for readers 18+

    I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. There are a lot of surprises in this book. Usually the dragon and the woman meet and fall in love. I enjoyed the bumps the author put in their way. My strong woman that I almost always look for is definitely is here and her brain is very busy working. Loved the book.

    A myth, a prophecy, and a dragon shifter - I was not sure whether I would like this book or not when I started it. I should not have had any doubts. Of course, it is a wonderful book by Cara Wylde that I really enjoyed reading. I like to read books where I am not sure what is going to happen next, and this book does that. Also, it is very interesting, beyond the romance and one and only mate that you see in most shifter books. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and yes, I really liked it, and therefore, I do recommend it.

    Aileen Callas has been obsessed since childhood with mythology, specifically Jason & The Golden Fleece. You see she is a direct descendant of Medea, the witch that put the Guardian of the Fleece to sleep all those millennia ago, so her love would not follow her. Did Media have an ulterior motive to her actions, did she as a witch have the gift to see into the future?

    Aileen is a professor of Mythology, but she has it in her head that the story of Jason & The Golden Fleece, more specifically the Guardian is all too real and she is going to prove it to the world. She never thought that her quest would bring her face to face with a pissed off dragon!

    Drakon has been guarding the fleece for so long as a dragon that all his humanity is gone and he knows not for what, he can't even sleep because of the curse, only kill any that dare try to possess the fleece. Would that the curse be gone, or he could die. When the dragon instead of killing sits and listens to the human who has dared enter his cave, he is mesmerized and after years of not shifting to his human the shift comes upon him and he realizes that Medea had her reasons for what she did.

    Love the mythology in this story, not the same old story we've always heard in books and the movie Jason and the Argonauts, this was a different and very enjoyable version.

    Aileen was in eye-candy heaven! the gorgeous man before her. Broad shoulders, wide chest, sinfully hard six-pack… oh, and the… What a DRAGONTACULAR book!! I love, Love, LOVE every aspect of it, especially how TEARRIFICALLY Cara wove her story and the Golden Fleece myth so impeccably & effortlessly together!! It's like they were destined to become one story - THIS story - and one that's worthy of a sacrifice, that's worthy of the Tears of the Dragon!! This is incredible! I agree with you wholeheartedly, Drakon!! I LOVE how beautiful Cara's storytelling is! Complete with captivating storylines, multifaceted, real characters - even the Dragon - and the perfect blend of humor, heat, cold, naughtiness, love, frustration, smexy, fright, intensity, lightheartedness, as well as moments that had me laughing, panting, gasping and/or holding my breath, all because I was THAT entranced, THAT mesmerized, THAT focused & lost to the story, THAT deeply in love with each & every single MAGNIFIMYTH little bit of it!! Of course I was so entranced, so deeply ensconced from beginning to end, so lost in the story, living & experiencing it all with, for and AS the characters, I forgot all about making my notes to write this review!! This being my first chance to read a Cara Wylde book, I was super excited to start it! WOW!! I didn't just start it, I read it all in one go because I just couldn't put it down!! While I do have quite a few of Cara's books already, I am definitely going to go get them all and snuggle in for a Cara Wylde Binge-read-a-thon as soon as I possibly can! YES!!! I am ABSO-FLEECING-LUTELY Wylde for Cara! wink

    5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THE ZODIAC SRRIES……
    Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2017
    This is a great addition to the Zodiac Shifters series. This is a standalone story that pulls you right into the plot and keeps you engaged throughout the whole book. There's action, adventure, drama, danger, suspense, enemies, twists/turns, intrigue, secrets/mystery, betrayal, justice, humor, frustration, fright, romance, passion/lust and love.
    This is a mythical story and the heroine is searching for proof that it was a reality and not a myth.
    Aileen Calls a is a professor of Mythology and Folklore at Harvard University. She has been obsessed with the mythology of Jason and the Golden Fleece. She is a direct descendant of Medea, the witch. She goes looking for it with some of her students to show them proof that it's real. But, she got more than she bargain for.
    Drakon is a cursed Dragon who is guarding an ancient treasure. He was cursed by Medea who he loved and has been guarding the fleece for so long that all his humanity is gone. One day, a human female runs into his cave and let the fun begin.
    Read is amazing story to find out what happens. I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and this review is my own opinion.

    This was a good story but was too fast. It needed to slow some and provide a little bit more sustenance. Also was difficult to follow at times because it jumped from character to character in a blink not staring the switch.
    I did enjoy it though

    Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2017
    Out to prove old mythology incorrect. Armed with the canister and scroll past down from grandmother, to mother, and now her. Trapped in cave. Yes, this is actually quite the unique storyline and a seriously great addition to the zodiac shifter series! Read along to journey with Aileen to unearth the real truth behind an ancient fable! I really enjoyed that I couldn't figure out the journey before reading it. An easy read that can be perfect for a peaceful afternoon.
