Book Blurb from Goodreads on How to Date Your Dragon:

Anthropologist Jillian Ramsay's career has taken a turn south.

Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations. Mermaids and gator shifters swim in the bayou. Spirit bottles light the front porches after twilight. Dragons light the fires under crayfish pots.

Jillian's first assignment for the League could be her last. Mystic Bayou is wary of outsiders, and she has difficulty getting locals to talk to her. And she can't get the gruff town sheriff, Bael Boone, off of her back or out of her mind. Bael is the finest male specimen she's seen in a long time, even though he might not be human. Soon their flirtation is hotter than a dragon's breath, which Bael just might turn out to be....

Book Blurb from Goodreads on Love and Other Wild Things:

Available in audio first, this hot, hilarious stand-alone will keep you wildly entertained!

Welcome to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shape-shifters, vampires, witches, and dragons live alongside humans. The town formed around the mysterious energy rift in the bayou, which helps keep the town's magic in balance. But lately the rift has been widening and destabilizing - threatening to send the town's magical population into chaos.

Energy witch Danica Teel has been sent by the League to figure out what's going on, with the help of bear-shifter Mayor Zed. While working on the case, Zed falls head over paws for Dani, but she's reluctant to engage in anything beyond a roll in his cave. Dani's family is counting on her to get the job done, and she has no time for distractions. But when an ominous presence begins stalking Dani through the bayou, they'll need to band together to make it out alive.

Book Blurb from Goodreads on Even Tree Nymphs get the Blues:

A hilarious new standalone novella brimming with otherworldly charm from the reigning queen of paranormal romantic comedy Molly Harper!

Ingrid Asher is the newest resident of Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where shapeshifters, vampires, witches and dragons live alongside humans.

Ingrid doesn’t ask for much. The solitary tree nymph just wants to live a quiet life running her ice-cream shop in peace. Unfortunately, she can’t seem to shake her new neighbor, Rob Aspern, head of the League’s data science department and so good looking it just isn’t fair.

If there’s one thing Ingrid doesn’t need, it’s someone poking around in her business. But the more she gets to know the hunky mathematician, the more she finds herself letting her guard down. Can she trust him with her secrets, or will her past destroy everything?

Now Sonja and Will must team up to fix the rift and save Mystic Bayou from certain disaster, all while their own romance is heating up. Can they have a future together while the whole world is falling apart?






Review of the Series:


I am not going to review each one of these books for you. They are Audible Escape. If you haven’t tried it yet, please do. You won’t regret it. This is not a commercial for Audible Escape. I binge listened to this series one weekend when I had to work all weekend. It was so easy to do!


I love the way Molly Harper writes. The stories are full of action and romance. The heroines are women I want to be friends with. Smart, sassy, and independent. They don’t need a man until they met “the One”. Then, I just swoon when the heroes come on the page. They are sweet, strong and incredibly sexy. I picture them with lots of muscle. But not only is there romance in her stories, she puts her characters into real danger. Sometimes, I can see it coming but more than often I can’t.


I would recommend listening to these stories on Audible escape. I already said that, didn’t I? The narrators are fantastic. Amanda Ronconi reads from the heroine POV and Jonathon Davis reads the hero’s POV. Their voices are easy to listen to and bring life to their characters. Jonathon has a very rich voice that gives the butterflies when he does the southern accent.
