🔥 Book Review: Chased By The Feral Dragon by S. Alexander (Kindle Edition, Feral Bonds #5)
A primal, high-heat monster romance that blends pursuit, possession, and fated-mates obsession—S. Alexander’s fifth Feral Bonds short delivers exactly what the title promises: a feral dragon who won’t stop until his mate is claimed.
🧠 Overview
Published on May 17, 2025, Chased By The Feral Dragon is a 38-page standalone within the Feral Bonds monster romance series.
The heroine’s life changes when her village names her the dragon’s “bridal tribute.” Instead of accepting her fate, she runs—straight into the deep forest. But she doesn’t get far. The dragon—huge, horned, half-man, half-beast, and fully feral—finds her.
She expects fire and death. Instead, she gets a growl of mine and a heat that scorches from the inside out. This dragon doesn’t want gold or jewels—he wants her in his nest, slick, shaking, marked, and bound to him for life.
