Publisher's summary

Ilias is the youngest of the dragons and is fed up with being treated like a child. He seems to get sicker by the day and knows he must find his mate. When fate crosses their paths, she’s neither trilled nor trusting. But when she gets kidnapped, Ilias must prove to her that they belong together.

Andrea thinks a trip home will allow her to escape all of her problems. She couldn’t be more wrong. In a matter of weeks, she gets attacked by a troll and kidnapped by a psycho dragon. Battling a drug addiction and depression - there’s only so much she can take before she breaks.

Will Ilias be able to save her, or will she run herself into the ground?

Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, and piles of sexy shifters. Intended for mature audiences only.

Great INCLUSIVE paranormal adventure & romance

Excellent story in a great series of mixed breed species being hunted by snobby full bloods.. I appreciate that the females mate seemed to have flaws/scars or trauma of some type.. No one is perfect BUT, the story is exciting and worth the credit/money..It is so awesome to read/listen to a well written story that DOESN'T have some young anglo female being seduced or saved by a older male.. All the characters seem(around same age) and seem to have "problems " & issues...Thank you author for this expression of your imagination that allows the buyer/reader/listener to escape and feel INCLUDED. Narration by voice actor was good.. Definite BUY!!!

Enjoyable

Ilias follows on from the first book, these should probably be read in order, there are major spoilers for book one and I think you need to have read book one for this book to make sense.

I wasn't really sure about this series after book one, i was hoping that it would develop more in the second book but that didn't happen for me. It was enjoyable but it wasn't gripping.

The main relationship between Ilias and Andrea is a bit dysfunctional, they're both trying to protect themselves and test the other person and they just never seemed to mesh for me, it left me thinking that they aren't suited. They seemed to go from "I'm not sure about you even though we are 'fated'" to "OMG I love you" in the space of a chapter.

I like the concept, I'm just not sold on the execution.

The narrator did a good job, i liked the character voices and the overall delivery was good.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Still needs work

Like the first book, this one has a weak female who just goes with the flow of all that is put before her. I feel the sex scenes are included to remind the reader it is not a young adult book.
Narration sounded a little faster on this one and I was almost tempted to slow the speed down. Other than that, it was a decent effort.
These first two books have vaguely reminded me of a vampire series but without all the depth that a longer book has the chance to enjoy.
I'm not giving up yet but do hope Sarah comes into her own soon.

Love the idea of this series-execution not so much

Ilias is Book 2 of the Stratham Shifters series by Sarah Stone. I have to say that I really liked the idea of this series and had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, the execution wasn't as gripping as I had hoped. Ilias finds his mate in Andrea. Andrea, unfortunately, is a junkie. As Ilias gets closer to his mate, he goes through super quick puberty and they get more in tune. Andrea gets kidnapped and has some other family issues as well. Do Ilias and Andrea find happiness together or are they destined to fail? Well, without giving away any spoilers, I won't say anymore, though I'm sure you can guess the outcome. I didn't like Andrea and the Ilias part of the story just felt rushed. I think with a more solid female lead the story would have been improved, though I'm not sure by how much. This isn't a series that I will be continuing, though I'm sure others will absolutely love it. Note that I did not read Book One, and from reading the reviews already posted, it sounds like reading Book One before this book is advised, as the story carries on form book to book.

Connor Brown's narration was fine and I didn't have any issues with his delivery. I'd listen to more of his narration in the future. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.

A nice follow up!

I was a little disappointed by the first entry in this series since it didn't have time to set the story very much. With this second entry, we get more information about dragons shifters.

I am not sure I liked Andrea but at least she felt a bit more realistic than Sophie did.

All in all, I am still left with not enough. I would have loved the books to be a little longer.
I will definitely go for the next entries if they make them in audiobook.

Connor Brown is fine as a narrator. I like his voices but he goes a little fast at times. Easily fixed by putting the book at .75 speed.
