Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!

Breaking up is hard to do...

Going undercover at a mass wedding as a bartered bride, Morrigan Blake has every intention of getting off the barbaric alien planet just as soon as the ceremony is over. Or, more correctly, just as soon as she captures footage of the mysterious princes rumored to be in attendance.

After a euphoric night, Morrigan discovers her ride left without her and an alien dragon shifter is claiming she's his wife. It's not exactly the story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse, the all-to-seductive dragon prince refuses to give up without a fight.

Being cursed by the gods was never so frustrating...

Prince Ualan is prepared to follow dragon shifter tradition and marry the woman revealed to him during the marriage festival. When the stubborn, yet achingly sexy, Morrigan refuses to accept their shared fate, it is all he can do to keep from acting like the barbarian she accuses him of being.

About the Dragon Lords Series

The dragon-shifting alien princes have no problem with commitment. In one night, these men will meet and choose their fated mates in a simplistic ceremony involving the removing of masks and the crushing of crystals. With few words spoken and the shortest, most bizarre courtship in history, they will bond to their women forever.



The original Dragon Lords series' Anniversary Edition by NYT Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.

For readers who enjoy Fated Mates, Enemies to Lovers, Mail Order Bride, Shifter Royalty, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Romance

The Barbarian Prince is the first book in the Dragon Lords series. This is Ualan & Morrigan's story.

I did like the narrator. He did a good job of conveying story.

Ualan wants to find his Soulmate. The woman meant only for him. He finds her in Morrigan. He is smitten from the start. His crystal shines bright for his only love. He's beyond elated he found her, his lifemate.

Morrigan is a star reporter doing a story on the four princes of Qurilixian and their Galaxy brides. What she really wants is to uncover the illegal practices of virgin brides trading done by Galaxy Brides. Galaxy Brides use outlawed medic units to restore a woman's virginity. Apparently, virgins trade better at more barbaric planets. Morrigan was out to uncover this rather than write a romantic piece. No fluff piece for her. She's very unaware she's about to capture the heart of the Heir to the throne. The next King of Qurilixian.

There's a lot of misunderstandings between the two. Because they come from different worlds, their lifestyles & beliefs are divergent. Morrigan is very, very independent. She travels to different planets and reports stories. She is set in her own ways. Ualan is just the opposite. He believes she should just be a homemaker type. Have his babies, etc. He'll protect her, etc. This is part of the Qurilixian culture. Morrigan gets into situations & has been poisoned a couple times. But ends up falling for her Barbarian Prince. Ualan discovers her real intent & this actually brings them closer. Despite all the obstacles they encountered they fall for each other in a huge way!

I liked their story. This was a great introduction to the Qurilixian Royal Family.

I am looking forward to the rest of Dragon Lords stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hotter than ever!
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2015

I have read and loved all of the Dragon Lords books, but was really excited to read this expanded Dragon Lords Anniversary Edition. This expanded edition is better and even hotter than the original!
Morrigan is a reporter who accepted an assignment to go undercover as a prospective bride with Galaxy Brides in order to expose the company. She never really thinks that she will be chosen as a bride, there is no way she is staying on a primitive planet, and never believes that one of the princes would actually choose her.
Ualan is the future king of the Draig on the planet Qurilixian and is a hot, hunky dragon shifter. Each draig was given a crystal at birth that glows when they meet their destined match. Ualan is happy with fate's choice for him, Morrigan is beautiful, spirited, and he wants her more than anything.
Morrigan should have done a better job of reading all of the information given to the brides about their possible future home, she didn't upload everything about the wedding ceremony and wedding night, so she didn't exactly know what was happening or what was expected of her.
In this anniversary edition, the wedding night is hotter than it ever was, thank you to the author for finally allowing the reader a glimpse into what the bride and groom can use the chair for (HOT)! The book does a really good job of expanding on the back story and setting up the reader to read about the three other princesses and gives some information about the Dragon Lord's cousins.
I loved this book, Michelle M. Pillow's world is so much fun to read about and really draws a reader in. Read this book and you will be hooked. Love scenes are really hot and come at the right time in the book, highly recommended reading!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

3.0 out of 5 stars EROTIC BUT FUNNY SCI FI FANTASY!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2015

Barbarian Prince was a light hearted, funny at times Sci Fi/Fantasy. It was a bit erotic too. Morrigan is a reporter posing as a Galaxy Bride to get the inside scoop of the Royal Qurilixian Males and there breeding marriage ritual. She never believed in a million years she would be chosen to marry a Draig. Let alone Prince Ualan who one day would be King. Ulan is a Dragon Shifter Prince and eldest son heir to thrown. He has this crystal that lite up when he saw Morrigan, which means the gods have chosen her to be his wife. Morrigan has a different idea and doesn't agree to being married. The back and forth between the couple was funny and at the same time erotic. The Draigs had been at war with there enemies the Var, but these were suppose to be peaceful times. After several attempts to murder Morrigan and a few other Draigs and there wives, they finally realize there is a Var spy in there mist.

This was a entertaining story. I don't usually read Sci Fi/Fantasy. Just thought I would try something different. I Enjoyed it.

Titan is a reporter with a lead, at least she thought she was following a good lead, and had done sufficient research to get started, but sometimes skipping over the irrelevant information, figuring you'll get back to it later means you have some unexpected surprises in store for you.

Ualan is a Prince, a warrior, and he thought a patient man, but no one ever taught him the difference between soldiers under his command and the most captivating wife he ever awoke to discover didn't realize she'd married him.

This done in one story is great fun, with Titan stubbornly trying to outwit Ualan, all while he's realizing this amazing woman is stronger and more, in every way, than he ever imagined, and yet he doesn't know how to help her understand his world and culture.

The four Draig Princes of Qurilixian are ready to choose Brides .So when Morrigan Blake a hot and upcoming reporter goes undercover as a Bride and tries to score the story of a life time to get her on top. Things don't go as planned. On her way to the planet all brides are give the ultimate makeovers and informed of what is happen if they are chosen. If not they are to return and travel to other planets. Prince Ualan is to take part in the bonding ceremony the one where he is to choose a Bride and she choose him . Not all goes well that night or the next day Morrigan fools things up by her foolish actions. She can't or won't choose Ualan as her husband and master. She decides if he wants to be a master she'll be a slave before she takes him as a husband . Things heat up as sexual games are played but they lead to frustration as the two are so alike and stubborn neither gives in and causing so much sexual tension .The story is also filled with adventure and acceptance .
Danger is also close at hand at every corner make it a page turner. What will happen next will the two finally come together as a couple or will secrets and fear tear them further apart.

I wanted to try a new author and decided on this book - as a test.
I'm so glad I did; as the story is really good.
508 pages are really long, but I never got bored. On the contrary.
Morrigan's and Ualan's love story is really worth reading, in places really funny, profound and tingling. In the background there is a conflict with enemies, which at times turns out to be very dangerous.

Really recommendable!

Honestly this is a fun book, full of action and really entertaining. I have the eBook and audible book also. The narration on the audible copy does credit to both the dragons and mail order brides. l want to get the stories of the other mail order brides, l liked it that much. I had a couple of laugh out loud moments too. l read some reviews that were not complementary and honestly l don't understand why, it was like they read a different book to me??
Anyway, it's a RECOMMENDATION from me!

Morrigan Is suppose to be doing a fluffy feel good piece for the paper she works for. But that’s not she wants to do! Morrigan wants to discredit the Galaxy Brides Corporation, they are fixing women into become virgins to increase their sales! If she can find the evidence to expose them, then her career will take off!
So she’s on her way to a wedding to uncover and discredit the corporation, and she’s managed to pretend to be a bride!

Prince Ualan is going along with his customs and traditions, he’s going to meet a bride chosen for him. At first he’s not sure, but as a human women walks past him, his crystal lights up. And for him, that’s all the reassurance he needs.
Later he will meet her, be married and will a great life.

Morrigan and Ualan are attracted to one another, but Morrigan isn’t going to be around in the morning, she needs to escape and bring home her discovery.
But it’s never that easy!
Her groom seems besotted with her, and wants to consummate their union! Trying her best too keep at arms length is proving difficult.

It’s funny watching as he chases her, and she retreats, but as time goes no, both adjust to one another, and Morrigan thinks this might not be a bad life after all!
Ualan is both frustrated and captivated by his new bride. He knows with time he can win his wife over.

But when he finds out her secret, will he be as forgiving as she hopes?

I really liked that, and I’m definitely wanting to find out about his brothers and cousins who were at the wedding, and found brides.

Considering this is the first book of its genre (Paranormal Shifter Romance) I have read, I don't have much to compare it to but I definitely enjoyed reading it. The female lead, Morrigan was a fun character to read about; with her witty and sarcastic commentary. Will definitely check out other books in this genre.
