Carnelian Dragons - Peridot: A Dragon Shifter Holiday Romance Novella (7 Virgin Brides for 7 Weredragon Billionaires) Kindle Edition
Enjoy this HOT dragon shifter holiday romance by USA Today Bestselling paranormal romance author Starla Night!
"What is the mysterious human 'spirit' of Christmas?"
Workaholic dragon shifter Peridot must answer this question for his boss, Sard Carnelian. He owes the man his life. After his betrothed dumped him and his embarrassed aristocratic family disowned him, he's nursed a terrible wound. It's especially embarrassing because of how hard Peridot worked to be the perfect fiancé and son. With his second chance here on Earth, he's going to work even harder and never, ever fall short again.
The only problem is that his best source of information is a Christmas-obsessed woman who happens to be a terrible distraction. She smells delicious and addictive, like cinnamon. All he wants to do is squeeze her plus-size curves. He can't focus on her words without staring at her lush mouth and desperately wishing for just one taste...
The Virgin, Plus-Size Pet Groomer Has The Answer
Karmel knows she stresses the perfectionist dragon out, which is why it's a shock that he agrees to go last-minute Christmas shopping with her. She's messy, chronically late, and she always seems to break something in front of him. But beneath their surface words and miscommunications, she begins to see the wounded dragon within. A sudden danger brings out his protective instincts, and Karmel is all too willing to be drawn into his powerful embrace...
Carnelian Dragons: Peridot is a standalone novella in the 7 Virgin Brides for 7 Virgin Weredragon Billionaires series although all stories in this series can be read as standalone romance novels with happy endings. It contains holiday spirits, cookie disasters, and steamy dragon shifter love scenes. Heat up the holidays and unwrap this fun novella today!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020Peridot has been ordered by Sard, his boss, to find out for him exactly what the Christmas Spirit was so he could share it. If he failed, he would be sent back to Draconis.
Peridot chose Karmel, a human friend to Amy, his co-worher Syen's mate, to make the Christmas Spirit real to his boss.
Karmel tried. But everything she did went wrong. She wanted so much to make it happen for Peridot and Sara.
And she does, in the worst, most beautiful, way possible.....
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2019So I was going through the store just reading the previews, going back and forth all over, looking for something to read when this author caught my eye. The first book with Mal really caught me off guard. All of these books so far were funny, crazy, hot, hot, hot! Did I say hot? I am so ready for the books for the last 4 siblings. Please hurry Ms. Starla. I'm so ready!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018I received an ARC edition of this book from the author.
This was a cute Christmas story (lots of Awww moments). Karmel and Peridot were cute together, even through all of their misunderstandings. I liked how the alien dragons are trying to figure out "Christmas Spirit", it was a good reminder to not focus on the material, but rather the emotional side of the holiday season. Karmel is a great character, she's not perfect but rather keeps trying even as things go wrong. Her quirkiness is a great off-set to Peridot's more serious nature.
I think this book would work okay as a stand-alone, but if you like it you'll definitely want to read the others.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021As I write this, we have just finished the dumpster fire from hell, the year 2020. With covid rampaging and holiday cheer at a dangerous never before seen low. Behold the perfect holiday pick us up! Short, sweet and oh, so steamy. May it help bolster your holiday spirits!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019Peridot goes to Karmel to get some answers on Christmas spirit. She is late for their appt due to an emergency dog grooming. He then thinks he doesn't consider him a priority. That cannot be further from the truth. She likes him but he makes her nervous. Will Periodt a d Karmel get together?
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021This is a great short story for the holidays 😊❄️☃️🦌
Teaching dragons the Christmas Spirit 🎄 Cookies, 🍪 Christmas music, chocolate and hot sexy times with a gorgeous dragon 🐲 what more could a girl ask for?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018This is a short story that happens between Christmas eve and Christmas day. Peridot and Karmel met several months before, but Karamel has been tasked with teaching Peridot about the "Spirit of Christmas." It seems everything that can go wrong, does. Yet, they cannot deny their attraction to each other. Will they be able to find their happily ever after?
These two characters are cute. They are both wounded by their past. They both must risk themselves to pursue this relationship, which makes it feel real.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021Dull, boring, clumsy and misunderstood are ways to describe some people. Peridot and Karmel are not those people. Together they make things endearing. Read it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed.
I keep repeating myself,but these stories are really good. Not as many funny bits in this one but the plot is well wrote. I just loved the bit towards the start when talking about humans and lies.
