About the Book
Title: Skydreamer
Author: Sheryl
Winters
Genre:
Paranormal Romance
For fire talent, Jaden Zarie, life is far from a fairy tale.
Blisters from any contact with water, check. Sleeping in a shed behind your
greedy Uncle's house, check. Ex-boyfriend scouting the bar where you work for
one-night stands every night, double check.
When Jaden sets off to secure a new life with her two sisters, winning a contest with a huge pile of gold on the line seems like a quick fix. Getting hitched to Draven Winterbourne, King of the Dragon-changers, and finding true love, was beyond anything she could have hoped for.
But a friend turned enemy threatens to take it all away. Jaden is thrust into an alternate universe and separated from her new husband and her sisters, she must summon up the courage to start over, alone, knowing she may never see any of them again.

midst of old country story tellers, so you might say writing comes naturally to
her. She is known for writing paranormal romances with a twist. Her writing
inspiration often comes from the great outdoors of Alaska and she enfolds bits
of it into her stories. For further inspiration, she has raised a menagerie of
cats and dogs to the aged spirits they have become.

Excerpt:
“…The Contest is open to all women
between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Contestants are required to bring
their own reagents. The use of Alchemy is strictly prohibited. Chance of winning
twelve hundred gold per round is one in…”
Voices press in on me from every
side. The week of constant traveling has done me in. All I want to do is hide
in the vego and sleep. I don’t even care if we have enough for dinner tonight.
I feel trapped by the chattering voices of the crowd mashed up with the
officials on the Dais.
“I heard the King’s mother set up
this contest herself. Talk about the ultimate mama’s boy. He has to be uglier
than a troll if his mother has to marry him off this way,” someone suggested.
“… high possibility of death,” came
a skeptical voice, “but with twelve hundred gold per round, everyone should
enter.”
“Which one is Draven?” a shrill
voice demands.
“Are you blind?” Came the reply.
“He’s the one good looking one with the light brown hair. The one standing next
to King Evrid.”
“You said he was ugly!”
It doesn’t matter who this Draven
is. We are only here for Adania. If we win, every silver goes to her schooling.
She’ll have a roof over her head and decent clothes. Nothing else matters.
My fingers sink back into the dark
blue Legal Sphere I received earlier. The tiny ball settles into my palms with
only a light sizzle and its message sounds inside my head.
All contestants will enter into an
exclusive competition. The winner will win a one-year marriage with Draven
Winterbourn, King of the Dragon-Changers. Iyardar Stone to choose the winner.
In the event Draven Winterbourn does not agree with the Iyardar Stone, he has
the right to veto said contestant and select one of his choosing from the
remaining contestants. As stipulated, marriage duration will be one year,
unless both parties—
“Is the Iyardar Stone a diamond, or
a ruby?” I whisper to Isla. “And how does it choose a winner if it’s a rock?”

Review:
I love dragon stories and this one
has magic and dragons. Yay! It is also the strangest and sweetest love
story, and a twist on the Cinderella or rags to riches story. I loved it.
The story drew me in with beautiful
imagery. It was a true pleasure to read.
I give this story 5 out of 5 clouds.
Aww, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it
