Merissa (13176 KP) rated Awakened by Fire (Dragons of Bloodfire #2) in Books
May 8, 2021 (Updated Jun 8, 2023)
In the second book of the series, we return to the world of the Bloodkin. In this instalment, we meet Warrick, the face of the Triad and one of the 'young' dragons at only one hundred and forty plus years. He is at his mother's home for a wedding in the family and is reunited with 'Sammy', a human child from his past. However, he soon realises that Sammy has grown up into Samantha, and he is all the more interested. The heat gets turned up when threats are made against the family and Samantha's secret is exposed to Warrick's mother, who makes her promise to help him.
This is a fast-paced, well-written book, with a romance that is a slow burner. They actually know each other from the past, but take time to know each in the now before anything happens. The difference between how a dragon thinks and how a human does is clearly demonstrated.
Recommended for all fans of adult dragon stories, with an intriguing world that continues to excite and thrill with each book.

Heart of the Flame ( Dragon Chalice 2)
By Lara Adrian
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Six months in an enemy's dungeon might have broken a weaker man, but the former Templar knight Kenrick of Clairmont has emerged from imprisonment with an unyielding determination, consumed by a single, daunting quest: to find the Dragon Chalice, a mystical treasure said to grant its bearer unlimited power. It is a dangerous chase, one that pits Kenrick against foes skilled in dark, deadly arts. But no obstacle will prove more treacherous-nor more seductively lethal-than the fiery beauty called Haven.
Caught up in the battle for the Chalice, Haven survives a night of terror that leaves her wounded and near death. Her memory scorched by fever, Haven awakens to find herself in the care of the forbidding, handsome Kenrick, who offers his protection in return for her alliance. A tenuous trust is formed between the two, which soon ignites into a fierce passion neither can deny. But Haven's memory of her past is slowly beginning to surface, and it will threaten the fragile bond she and Henrick share-and embroil them in a fight for their very lives. . .
I like this series it’s historical romance mixed with a hint of magic. This was a quick good read. I do like this author her books are so easy and pleasant to read.

Alice (12 KP) rated Talon (Talon, #1) in Books
Jul 3, 2018
Definitely a new side to dragons that I don't think I've seen before. A strong hatred between Talon and St. George which was played out quite well.
Ember was a very good name for a dragon and I particularly liked Riley 's nickname of Firebrand I thought it suited her well.
The characters were well developed with balance between prose and dialogue. Very well written.
I preferred Riley /Cobalt to Garrett but I'll almost always choose a shapeshifter over a human. Riley just had that bad boy-esque edge to him plus the added bonus of mates or at least I think they're mates.

Dec 17, 2018
Wonderful for all ages and Dragon Lovers!
This is one of my all-time favourite books and it still brings a lump to my throat when I read it to my daughters. In fact, it is their most requested book to be read out too.
The story (although short) is wonderful and trips off your tongue with lilting cadences and takes you from start to finish with a rhyme. The illustrations are magnificent, but maybe not the "normal" which just makes it more enjoyable.
Highly recommended for reading to your children or grandchildren ..... or if you want to remind yourself of where the dragons really are!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dead Sexy Dragon (Dragon Heat, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
This started quite strong and I was enjoying it but then at the 50% mark when the sex started I...got bored. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but sex scenes are annoying me.
Anyway, I liked the plot, though the thing with Cora was a bit of a surprise (I wont spoilt it by mentioning it in my review) near the end.
With it being short (finishes around the 85% mark) there wasn't that much to it, but it was good for a short read. And it being a paranormal romance with a dragon shifter makes it slightly different to all the others out there.
