Debbiereadsbook (1788 KP) rated Dante and his Dragon (Colorado Dragons #3) in Books
Jul 5, 2026
loving these!
I was gifted my copy of this book, direct from the author.
This is book 3 in the Colorado Dragons series, and it can be read as a stand alone book, but personally, I think you'll get a better enjoyment of these ice hockey player slash dragons if you read them all in order. There is something going on in the wider dragon world, and I'm not sure you'd pick that up from one book.
Dante is traded to the Dragons on the last day. For something he did not do. Finding himself thousands of miles from his family, he throws himself into his hockey. Coach Theron watches the newbie, and what he's been told does not fit with what he sees. His dragon is rather taken by Dante too. But Theron lost someone close to him a long time ago, so Theron pushes Dante away. Then Dante is taken, and Theron's dragon is all out to find his mate.
What I loved about this book, was that I found it a bit more emotional, I think is the word, than the other books. Heavy on the emotions, this one. But also, deeper. Both Theron and Dante have suffered, differently, and they are only trying to protect themselves from being hurt again. But they are constantly drawn to the other and it's only a matter of time before one of them gives in. Theron runs then. He redeems himself, though!
I thought, for one reason or another, that all the Dragons are ice dragons. But Theron is a FORGE dragon. He can do things with metallic elements that no one else can. And that is why he is targeted by the bad guy. Why Dante is, to get at Theron. And I loved being surprised by that!
I am loving this series so far, and can't wait to get my hands on future books.
5 full and shiny, but copper and gold, coloured stars

Evening, I made my one hundred and seventy-eighth scratch on the cave wall.
Despite her humble rural beginnings, Butterfly regards herself as a sophisticated young woman. So, when offered a lucrative job in the city, she jumps at the chance.
But instead of being given work, she is trafficked and sold to Bright Black, a desperate man from a poor mountain village.
Trapped in Bright's cave home with her new "husband", she plans her escape not so easily done in this isolated and remote village where she is watched day and night.
Will her tenacity and free spirit survive, or will she be broken?
Chinas one child policy has resulted in a gender imbalance as more male children than female children were born; now young men are having difficulty finding wives. Apparently bride kidnapping has recently resurfaced in some parts of China. In many cases, women are kidnapped and sold to men in poorer regions of the country. This is what happens to Butterfly. In an afterword, the author mentions that her story is based on what happened to the daughter of a neighbour in his home village.
This was very interesting to read for me but did take some patience for me to get into though.
There's a great bunch of characters and a very strong young lady.
It is also heartbreaking to know that this story was inspired by a true account.
Recommend reading.

Awesome film!!!
OK. So I'll start by saying I loved the old wrong turns with the three hillbilly brothers causing mayhem, they were all budget but had a horror charm that I just loved! Going into this film I had high hopes for the cheesy budget hillbillys that I loved but no this delivered so much more! A complete new story with people living in the wilderness and sticking to what they know.
6 unfortunate friends head out on a hike just off a small rural town in America, it is all a great laugh until they start getting warnings from locals to stick to the trail and one of the characters causes a few problems with some of the towns people. The day after arriving they head off up into the forest exploring and enjoying themselves until they slip off track as warned not too, and all that waits is destruction and heartache. With alot of confusion as to what is happening to them, they make a terrible lack of judgement and must answer for the events that took place, to survive they must surrender to what they know and do what they can.
Brilliant film loved it from start to finish, and not your usual ending, normally they finish it and you want to see what comes next, but in this awesome movie they do exactly that! With a little bit of hope it has left it open for a possible 2nd one to come out!
