Publisher's Summary

Nothing is forbidden to this elite corps of shifter bodyguards and private investigators...except falling in love.

Magnum, PI with a shapeshifter twist!

2018 Rone Award Finalist!

Good dragons? Bad dragons? Twenty-four hours ago, private chef Tessa Byrne didn’t know about the terrifying world of shifters. Now she knows too much, like the fact that a ruthless dragon lord is determined to claim her - forever. Tessa flees to Maui, where sunny skies, swaying palms, and a handsome stranger conspire to play tricks with her heart. Can she truly trust Kai Llewellyn and his band of battle-hardened shapeshifters to save her from a gruesome fate?

Don’t trust a human, and never, ever fall in love with one. Those are lessons Kai learned the hard way. But Tessa is different. Her emerald eyes mirror the mysterious pendant she wears, and her flaming red hair makes his heart race. Is his inner dragon just greedy for a new kind of treasure, or is Tessa his destined mate?

Aloha Shifters: Jewels of the Heart is a thrilling new series set on the tropical shores of Maui. Each story is a pause-resister packed with action, emotion, and romance! If you like Magnum, PI and smoldering hot, alpha shapeshifters, you'll love these books!

No cliff hangers. Each story is a standalone paranormal romance with adult content. This story includes strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves and shapeshifters, billonaires, military romance, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, fantasy romance, and exotic, tropical locales!

ANNA LURED INTO ANOTHER GREAT PNR SERIES!!!


This was my first Anna Lowe story, and it won't be my last. Lure of the Dragon ticked off everything I look for in a good PNR. A well written, fast paced, action packed plot, unique and interesting characters, and of course romance. It was an instant love story, but like any good PNR it's more than just attraction. There's something special about Tessa that makes her desirable to dragon shifters. She didn't know shifters existed, but when one of her clients tries to force her to mate him, she goes on the run to Hawaii, asking for help from the only people who can keep her safe.... more shifters. These highly trained, hot shifters are mix of some of our favorite shifters. The each have their own personalities, and I enjoyed how they interacted with each other.

The narration was great! Kelsey Osborne did a great job on both the female and male characters. I would definitely listen to other audios narrated by her.

Overall, this was a good entertaining story that kept me engaged, and an excellent whispersync deal. I will be keeping my eye out for the next book to be released in audio.

Good and complex

I was very impressed with this book. I had not read anything from this author so I was a big skeptical but it was actually really good! The story and characters were well developed and the book kept a good pace.

Another great series from Ms Lowe set in Hawaii.

I have posted a review for this book as well which I will include at the end.
Once again a great story from Ms Lowe kicking off a new series from beautiful Hawaii.
The narration is good but I have to speed her up a quarter for my listening pleasure but having said that I am really starting to enjoy audible books and can nearly ignore the one voice doing all voices feature.
The narrative descriptions are wonderful and the tension at the end comes across more in audible. What I picked up more in audible was Kai and the others seem uber Alpha but with a close bond which I loved.
Tessa still comes across as a bit silly for taking off. I think I picked up this point more in audible as being slightly exaggerated as one moment she is professing to trust Kai then she receives a message and believes the worst.
The baddies really do need a beat down.
Once again a pleasant experience listening to this great story.
I was kindly gifted this audible book for an honest review.
BOOK REVIEW
A wonderful new entertaining series from one of my favourite authors.
This book introduces us to the beautiful islands of Hawaii, where five Special Forces Veteran shifters with mysterious pasts, who have bonded through the trials of combat have settled.
I loved the sound of Koa Point, the estate where they all live, how beautifully it is described. Having been to the islands recently it bought back beautiful memories, especially the farmers market.
I really enjoyed the jewel stone and legends aspect too, cannot wait to see how this all plays out.
Tessa was a strong character and apart from one silly, excusable mistake, was quite believable and entertaining with her actions.
We didn’t really get to know much about Kai and I hope we do learn more of him as this series continues whilst his brothers of the heart find their mates and much needed HEA’s. I did love his dragons character and how he kept snipping at Kai about Tessa being their mate.
Loved the little tie in with Twin Moon Ranch as well through Ella.
Who will be next, will Silas and Moira reunite and solve past hurts or will it be Grouchy Cruz, Wolfie Boone or rock solid Hunter. From the little teaser we are given Boone is the next to have his life changed for the better. I cannot wait.
This is my honest review of this book.

Awesome story

Tessa's nightmare started one night when she was hired to to cook for a rich stranger who turned out to be an evil shifter bent on forcing her to be his mate. She was saved by Ella a women who lives next door to her. Ella sent her to a group of shifters in Maui for thier protection.
What she found out was there was a dangerous shifter world she never knew about and now she is in the middle of it.
OMG this was one fantastic storyline full of action and mystery. The characters are truly amazing and I honestly connected to them fast! This is also the first book in the series (don't worry it's a full story and not a chiffhanger) I can't wait for the next book to come out. I am hooked.
The woman who read this did an awesome job. She acted it out and made it a lot of fun.

Not quite the Jewel I thought it would be

To start this wasn't a bad read/listen. The story although was interesting and had my attention there were a few flaws within the storyline and I wanted a little more development for the main characters and between our dragon and his mate.
The biggest flaw within the story that really should have been corrected is Kai's mother who is human and died did in fact birth Kai....but later we learn that Tessa is so special because she can birth a baby that could shift...which other humans apparently can't since (and I am paraphrasing but close) "any child from a human couldn't shift and dragons wouldn't care about any baby from a human for that reason". This is a BIG whole in the storyline.

I will give the next book another try and the author as well. Worth the credit...if you can overlook a few holes...

Loved it.

What made the experience of listening to Lure of the Dragon the most enjoyable?

With current health issues, I found it very refreshing to have the book talk to me. :)

What other book might you compare Lure of the Dragon to and why?

Not sure that I would compare it, as it's a new unique story series, the just happens to have connections to the Wolves & other new Shifters we love from the Twin Moon & Blue Moon series.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Tessa baits the Dragon who thinks he's going to kill her! That made me chuckle as he found out too late it was him that would die. Showing her true grit and clever ruse in her defense.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did but with meds had to split it over two sessions, thoroughly enjoying.

Any additional comments?

I was lucky to get to read the little Bonus material on Kai & Tessa's mating & her flying, enjoying a good chuckle; loved that also. I can;t wait to read Boone's story next. :)

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lure of the Dragon?

I can't say there was 1 more memorable then another

Another great series by Anna Lowe!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Dragon shifters are awesome and I love Anna Lowe's storytelling! The narrator does an excellent job.

Any additional comments?

Full Review -

I love Anna Lowe's books about wolves and I love dragon shifters, so I knew I'd probably love this one, and I was right! Another awesome book! Tessa is on the run from a shifter that was trying to kidnap her; this shifter business is all new to Tessa, so she isn't quite sure what to make of it, so on the advice of a friend, she finds herself in Maui looking for some help from some other shifters, who are supposedly friendlier. Tessa is a tough chick! She's having a lot of crazy thrown at her, and she is handling it very well. Among the various shifters she meets up with, there is Kai, and there is something about him that draws Tessa in, but she doesn't know if she can trust him. Let me tell you, these two create some sparks! Some hot moments between these two! Kai and Tessa's romance is also sweet, and I loved their connection. I loved that we get dual POV's, and I loved all the dragon shifter traits! Love me some fire breathing, high flying, gold/jewel loving dragons! This book is a standalone, but it seems there is a connecting storyline that is going to be going on throughout the series, which I totally love! I'm really looking forward to getting the stories from the rest of the guys! I listened to the audiobook version of Lure of the Dragon, and the narrator did an excellent job! She does male and female voices, and I think she does it seamlessly! Loved this new series from Anna Lowe, and I'm super excited for more!!

Hot Hot Baby!

Would you consider the audio edition of Lure of the Dragon to be better than the print version?

No.

What other book might you compare Lure of the Dragon to and why?

My first time with audio books so I can't compare.

Have you listened to any of Kelsey Osborne’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No sorry.

Island Steam

Any additional comments?

This is the first audible book I listened to and the first story book I've ever read from Anna Lowe. What a great story line and the characters are fantastic and have depth to them. If you have not read it or heard it yet go grab it! you will be very happy with it.

A rare jewel, a unique female and a lot of fire.

A classic Anna Lowe story, there are so many things I enjoyed listening to this book. An Easter egg reference from an other series, the story behind some very rare jewels. I found the lore in this book so fascinating, and every character has secret pasts. From start to finish, the storyline remains strong and so intriguing. The narrator did a great job performing this beautiful shifter story, bringing all of the six characters to life. Until recently I hadn't heard of this author, but with every book I'm becoming more and more of a fan. I have found her books to be a great way to get through stressful days, giving me the escape from the less pleasant moments in my life.

Great start for a book series.

This is not the type of Audiobook I would normally listen to,that being said,I thoroughly enjoyed this and I have purchased the next book in this series.
Kelsey Osborne has done a brilliant job of narrating this book and bringing these characters to life.
The story had my attention straight from the start and I loved the way it slowly built up the suspense,from the growing attraction between Tessa and Kai,to the looming presence of Damien Morgan.
I won this Audiobook through the "Stay in and listen" paranormal romance Audiobook event and I am more than happy to leave a review and I am also, more than happy to recommend this.

An enjoyable listen

Lure of the Dragon is the start of the Aloha Shifters series by Anna Lowe. Set on the tropical island of Maui, this book follows Tessa and Kai’s story. Tessa is hiding from an evil dragon who wants to make her his mate. Kai and his shapeshifter friends are her only hope. The other shifters are only briefly introduced in this book, and readers will find out more about each character in the rest of the series.

Maui is described beautifully, and I could really imagine that I was there. I love strong heroines, and Tessa didn’t disappoint. She was fiery and held her own against the shifters. I was a little disappointed with Kai though. He seemed to get away with not explaining things to Tessa, and she ended up finding out most of the information by herself. The story starts off quite slowly, but the ending seemed rushed. Enough to make me feel that there was a chapter missing. The plot twists are predictable, but the story held my interest and some parts even made me chuckle. Fantastic job by Kelsey Osborne with the narration. Overall it was an enjoyable listen.

I won this audiobook through the "Stay In & Listen” Paranormal Romance audiobook event, and I provided this voluntary review.

Fantastic first book in series

Book one of the Aloha Shifters: Jewels of the heart by Anne Lowe.
Tessa is a private chef hire by Damien Morgan but while there he attack her but thankfully save by a mysterious woman that told her to go to Maui.
Kai is a special forces dragon shifter that with a few friends/team members made a home on Maui.
As soon as he meets Tessa he know something special about her but after a lifetime of mistrust between humans and shifters Kai is struggling with his heart and inner dragon wanting to mate.
Absolutely love this first book. It’s a nice easy read/listen and I really enjoyed that the special force team are different shifters with very individual distinctive characters also loved that it was based in Maui a bucket list place for me.
Looking forward to more in team finding their HEA especially there leader.

More please!

What a great audiobook! There are multiple powerful supernaturals, hot steamy scenes, a hunky alpha, lots of action and intrigue. I love when a book has it all with great characters and an awesome plot. Anna Lowe provides an amazing audiobook and I can't wait to find out more about the mysterious stones and hopefully mates for the others. The narrator put passion and life into the story and brought it to life like a play for the reader. I can tell this is going to be a great series!

I like it

To be honest I was not sure if I would enjoy this story as it’s been a while since I listened to a M/F shifter book but you know what I really did.
I do love me a bit of dragon shifter romance, they get so territorial.
Tessa needs protection, Kai did not want to protect, his dragon has other ideas.
Lots of intrigue and lots of characters you want to know more about..
Onwards to the next one...
