Dimitri (Paranormal Council Enforcers Book Fourteen) by Taylor Rylan


An interesting introduction to a new-to-me author!


From the Dimitri blurb:

They both come from powerful lines. What will that mean for their future together?

Dimitri Vasiliev has led an interesting life. Being the grandson of the created dragon comes with certain perks, but he’s never let who he is dictate his life. He’s always pulled his own weight, no matter what the task. Ready for a new change in life, Dimitri joined the council as an enforcer in hopes of helping right the wrongs of those who abuse power. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out quite as expected, and until he had a craving for a donut, he considered leaving the council altogether.

Caspian Ainsworth needed a break. Work was getting to be too much, and although he loved his family, it was the newest member of their family that he longed to see. When he pops over to Treasure Ridge to see his brother and his One and daughter, the absolute last thing he expected was to come face-to-face with his fated mate in the council’s bakery. But the sexy man is an alpha, and that means…could he carry their babies in order to have the family that he has always longed for?

Claiming each other is easy. But figuring out how to live with one another, on the same continent, is another story. Will these two be able to cohabitate by the time a new addition arrives? Or will their jobs keep them apart?

Dimitri is Book Fourteen in the Paranormal Council Enforcers series. Each book in this series will focus on a different couple, but these books are not standalones and should be read in order as there is an ongoing backstory that won’t be resolved quickly. This is a fated mate story in an MPreg world, and there will be at least one baby in this story. You should expect all the normal shenanigans, heats, biting, and remember that sometimes even fated mates need a little help.


Angel's review:

As the headline proclaims I haven't read any of Taylor's work prior to this story. Seeing as how this book is the 14th book in this series I was a little lost, however, that was by my choosing. I wanted to read this book as is for two reasons; one: because it sounded really good, and two; I wanted to see if I would be able to enjoy this book as a standalone without reading any of the prior books.

You know what I found out? This can absolutely be read and enjoyed as a standalone, at least in my opinion. I was able to become immersed in this paranormal world full of mages, dragons, shifters, vampires, and so many more paranormal beings, due to Taylor's great writing. The way in which Dimitri's character is written gives off an older school, he speaks very proper and formal, yet is so sweet with his family and with Caspian.

I liked how Taylor put their own spin of fated mates, it was unique and offered a fresh perspective on two people being destined for each other. I commend Taylor for being able to build up such a heavily detailed world, in addition to creating such unique characters that all add so much to the overall story. I also enjoyed how Caspian's pregnancy was written, you could tell Taylor put a lot of thought into how exactly they wanted to write mpreg.

As much as I did like this story, I wish there was more focus on Dimitri being an Enforcer... For example, he finally gets tasked with going on a mission away from home, but that seems to be glossed over after a few chapters... I wish there was more of him tracking down the mages himself, or even catching the ones they are after.

My favorite moment was when both Caspian's and Dimitri's families all got together to get to know one another and to celebrate. It was just full of so much love and joy, it was really heartwarming.
