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 !!

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2514 KP) rated Murder on Memory Lake in Books
Apr 8, 2020
The book starts out with a couple of chapters that are little more than data dumps, giving us the background on the characters. Yes, we need to know the information, but it could have been slipped into the novel better. The mystery itself is strong with several viable suspects and a logical trail to the great climax with some fun red herrings along the way. Alberta and Jinx are joined by another couple family members, and the four women are a delight, making me laugh a few times. The book is written in omniscient point of view, but mostly sticking with Alberta and Jinx. It mostly works, but it allows for passages of the characters pondering life. These felt like they’d be more at home in a literary novel than a mystery. The book closes out with a few recipes. The bones of the book are good, but overall, it felt overwritten. There is enough enjoyable elements to the book that if you are curious about the book, I recommend you check it out and see what you think for yourself.
