Over the last year, Jake Swift has constantly thought of the one-night stand he had with a beautiful dragon-shifter, one who slipped away silently into the night. Determined to see her once more, he finally manages to arrive in Scotland at Clan Lochguard’s gates and asks to see Sylvia. She’s as sexy and kind as he remembers, but he soon learns her secret—he’s a father, and they have a daughter together.

Sylvia MacAllister has done her best to be a single mother to her surprise daughter. It’s not easy, but she’s determined to be the best mother possible, especially given how she failed her other children more than a decade ago. When her daughter’s father shows up on Lochguard, wanting to be a part of their lives, Sylvia isn’t so sure, but she grants him two weeks to see how things go. The trick will be in focusing solely on what’s best for her daughter and not getting attached to the handsome human.

Jake tries his best to win Sylvia, despite her doubts. However, between each of their pasts and family drama, a future together seems uncertain. Will Jake be able to convince Sylvia that he wants both her and their daughter? Or will he be relegated to a part-time dad, unable to claim his new family?


Full-length novel with a happy ending. (Jake Swift is the cousin of Ashley Swift, heroine of The Dragon's Bidder in the Tahoe Dragon Mates series.)

Jessie Donovan has sold over half a million books, has given away hundreds of thousands more to readers for free, and has even hit the NY Times and USA Today bestseller lists. She is best known for her dragon-shifter series, but also writes about elemental fae magic, alien warriors, and even has a crazy romantic comedy series set in Scotland. When not reading a book, attempting to tame her yard, or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, she can often be found interacting with her readers on Facebook. She lives near Seattle, where, yes, it rains a lot but it also makes everything green.

PS--She's often accused of being a man for her steamy scenes, which highly amuses her. Love can be a little dirty, too, and she wholeheartedly embraces that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A second chance at love with a bit of chaos thrown in
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022

Jake Swift met Sylvia MacAllister during a restaurant expo in Scotland. She needed to get away and just have fun. She and Jake had fun for one night and then she was gone. He knew she was a member of a dragon clan in Scotland and he intended to find her but life got in the way. Almost a year or so later he shows up to see her and that opens up a whole can of worms that prevents the pair from getting to know each other in a more traditional way.

I like Jake from the beginning. He isn't afraid of dragons and he is determined to win her over. He stands up to her adult children and doesn't let anyone walk all over Sylvia. He is sexy and protective, he lets her stand up for herself and supports her. He literally saved her life. She has fought through losing her true mate and fought the ensuing depression. She is a strong woman but sometimes needs to be reminded of that.

I got so caught up in their story that I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what is in store next.

Jessie never fails to deliver! I absolutely love the story angle exploring how many moms feel....we all feel on some level like we failed. I love how Sylvia grows into the strong, confident dragon woman Jake always saw. I love his patience and tender love to be what she needs when she needs it. Sylvia is a survivor and a great complex character! All of this and some very hot sex scenes...loved it!!

Alright so the book was alright, a lot of the story was taken away from the main characters though. I had a rough time getting into the main characters and have some reservations on the stories to come.

Character breakdown:

Sylvia: as someone who suffers from depression I liked how real she was and her issue with it was taken into account. I hated how she just seem to dismiss her “failure” with her other kids and see her newborn as a “new chance” that rubbed me the wrong way. Im sorry but just my opinion. But I liked that she got that second chance at happiness.

Jake: I liked him at first but there were things that he handled that I didn’t like. And honestly made me dislike the guy, I understand you’re falling for someone but he seem to be doing too much.

Okay overall though I liked the cross between two different series, I wasn’t as big of a fan of the main characters as I am with other books in the series. I cannot wait for SOME of the other characters in the series to get their books. Some seem like a lot of fun.

While in their late 40’s, they find true love. Business became a night of pleasure with unexpected results. While Jake never knew Sylvia was dying, Sylvia was wanting to make a memory, and Jake just couldn’t forget about her. They meet so many challenges and their sense of humor and love overcomes all. Absolutely loved this book!

After Cat and Lachlan's story I was eager to read Sylvia's story and it did not disappoint. I had a better understanding of how she was treated by her late mates in-laws and how badly that had affected her. Married young with children you can see how she never really had a chance to come in to her own. Lucky to be in loving relationship that unfortunately ended in tragedy and heartbreak. Left grieving her depression surfaced and took over. After being diagnosed with a life end disease she makes a choice to live her last days for her kids and maybe to find a little joy for herself. Meeting Jake is truly life changing. What happens next will determine her future and most definitely Jake's. Some hard and uncomfortable issues are addressed and that made this story even more special. Just loved it.

This story is about Sylvia and Jake. Sylvia is Cat's mom(i forget the name of her book, but she is the artist). Sylvia has a 1 night stand and that changes her life. A year later Jake still cant forget Sylvia so he goes to find her. This is there story and its super cute. I love the hero in this book. I also love the conflict and the hints at other books to come. We already know Emma's story is coming but we also get a glimpse at Conner's, Ian's and Iris' potential stories. Cant wait!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Competition, Plots and Afterwards

Sarah McAllister spends a short time away from Lochguard to attend an amateur backing competition and meets American Jake Swift there. Partnered together , they finish the competition and spend time together, before Sarah slips away home. After Jake returns home, intending to find Sarah again. Events at home delay things.

When Jake arrives at Lochguard, he gets quite a surprise. With a few misunderstandings and very protective family watching his every move, Jake finds Sarah and the surprise which she had not been able to tell him about.

Plots and secrets are afoot, plus an old jealousy. Trips across the Atlantic and to Pine Rock were we meet Jake's cousin Ashley. After further trouble in the U.S.A the highlight is a return to Lochguard for the finale and celebration.

Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. WOW !!!!. Can't wait for the next one.

Sylvia is a quiet woman trying to do everything on her own. She doesn't stand up for herself. Jake comes in and gives her the confidence to be a stronger woman who can stand up for herself and also rely on others to help her instead of doing everything herself. She wasn't looking for a new man in her life but Jake came along and didn't give her a choice. They were meant to be.
Jake has been wondering for a year what would happen if he saw Sylvia again, so he goes to Scotland to find out. What he finds is not just the woman he can't stop thinking about but his daughter and the love of his life. Can Jake and Sylvia overcome the obstacles in their path and find a happily ever after?

Another brilliant story out of Lochguard. Sylvia and Jake, what a mission that was. But great to revisit some familiar characters and the potential for more. I do enjoy these stories. Ms Donovan knows how to weave a tale together.

This is a beautiful continuation of this series! I didn't know what to expect - I had forgotten to buy it! I usually pre-order all of them! Only in rereading them before starting the next book - The Dragon's Memory, did I realise! The Dragon's Change was glorious! So much fun that I am writing my review at 3am, as soon as I finished reading. Thank-you dear author, so very much!
