THis is book 2 in the Colorado Dragons series and it can be read as a stand alone. I personally recommend you DO read book one, Phoenix and his Dragon, if only because I said so!
Something happened at work, and nurse Cinder was blamed. He lands the job of medic for the Dragons. Taranis is their goalie, fast approaching retirement age. Cinder settles something in Taranis, his dragon calms when Cinder touches him. The cold goes away. But Cinder's enemies haven't and they are closing in.
What I loved most about this, was that Cinder crept under Taranis' skin and he didn't even see him coming. He just touched him, like a medic should, and his dragon settled, the cold went away and Taranis could breathe. Cinder is struggling as well, and Taranis makes him feel safe in a way he hadn't in a long time.
It takes time for Cinder to let Taranis in, so it's a slow burn, which is a bit contrary given Taranis is an ice dragon, but you know what I mean!
There is, I'm getting, a plot line that will run through other books. Things happen here that make me think it will be a while before we get to the bottom of whoever seems to want to seperate the dragons and their mates, and more importantly, why! But it means I gotta read other books and I have absolutely no issue with that !!

Luca and Mal are the perfect pair even if they don't act on it immediately. I loved that about the book though. They don't play games and mess around but they also don't rush into a relationship where a child is involved without thought.
There is little-to-no angst in here but it didn't need it. The characters move the story along brilliantly by themselves. The pacing is wonderful and it shows the connection between Luca and Mal, giving it time to deepen before there is any steam. I loved the world of Lighthouse Bay and now I want to read the other books. I don't feel that it impacted me negatively at all that I hadn't read them before this one.
One thing I have to add is I LOVED all the research that went into Luca's shop. It was a brilliant idea that worked perfectly. I just wish there was a store like that near me!
This is the second book by this author I have read (the other being On The Ice) and both books have been 5-star reads. Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended by me.

The relationship between Julien and Cal is slow-burn, to begin with. My word, the number of near-misses had me ready to throw my Kindle against the wall. But then, THEN, they make a move and holy moly, it's hot. I loved their relationship, even with Julien's martyr tendencies.
We learn more about Cal's past, with his family and his ex-wife, and it leaves me loving his found family even more. I did enjoy hearing about Cal's mum though. There is always a chance... if you're lucky!
I really enjoyed the first book and was glad to see Roxie and Mel here, but I LOVED this one. Now, I just need to wait for Mase and Hunter's story. *Imagine me jumping up and down, all excited.*
Another winner from Ms McIntyre and highly recommended by me.
