The Cursed King

(Inferno Rising #4)

by

Abigail Owen

He will burn. She will rise.

Airk Azdajah, the rightful King of the White Clan, spent half a millennium being tortured by the false High King Pytheios. The only reason he’s alive is a curse— the man to kill Airk will be consumed in his own fire. Which is why Pytheios kept Airk alive, barely, unable to shift in his prison cage, driving the creature half of him into madness. Airk escaped, but he’ll never be truly free. What good is a king who can never let his feral dragon loose, never fly, and never lead his people? He’s better off dead.

Angelika Amon is the last unmated phoenix. The problem? She has no powers. Zip. Zilch. Angelika hates being dormant, especially now that her three sisters are blissfully mated to powerful dragon shifter kings and are very much part of the fight to take down the rotting king Pytheios, their parents’ killer. What good is a useless runt of a phoenix in a battle to save the dragon kingdom?

Desperate to find some way to help, she offers herself to Airk as a mate — just for political leverage. But a dormant phoenix is no damn use to him just like a dragon who can’t shift is no use to her. Until Pytheios sets his sights on Angelika for himself…

My Review

The last of the Inferno Rising series and it's a hot read in lots of ways! This book features Angelika the last unmated phoenix and Airk a white dragon shifter that cant shift. I have to admit I called Airk Eric in my head!

The fight is reaching a head and everyone is in danger and all the mated phoenix and dragons are coming together to fight the baddie. Angelika decides she and Airk should Mate to help the battle.

Airk is very standoffish to begin with. Angelika isn't giving in she can see how good they could be together. The battle we know is coming and we can almost guarantee Angelika will get her wish with Airk BUT oh my we have to wait a while - Airks defenses need some breaking down.

Along with the fighting and some unexpected occurrences we get to hear from the previous main characters.

The epilogue was wonderful and completed the series perfectly.

The Traitor (Fire's Edge #5) by Abigail Owen - New Release - Review

The Traitor
(Fire's Edge #5)
by
Abigail Owen

Decades ago, rogue dragon shifter Rune Abaddon took a stand against the decaying, corrupt systems governing their people. He now uses his bad-ass reputation to protect the innocent as it all comes crashing down. But he’s pushed the limits one too many times. His hideout is destroyed, his few allies are scattered and hiding, and the Alliance has placed a dead-or-alive bounty on his head, making him the most wanted dragon in the western hemisphere.

And then the most enticing woman he’s ever met barges into his mountain, demanding an audience.

Hadyn Reece’s future was ripped away long ago. The man fated to be her mate was murdered alongside her parents before Hadyn was old enough to be turned, leaving her to be raised and trained by her dead mate’s parents in the dragon shifter world. Now, the Alliance has come for the only family she has left. It’s a good thing she was raised by dragons, because the only one who can help her save them is a traitor she’d be smart to fear.

Especially when his dragon decides she’s theirs

My Review

Wow, what a series end. It was the end I think, well definitely a HFN.

This is Runes story and he's got his work cut out with Haydn a strong woman, to be honest they're both very independant so it made it a fun read.

Back to Rune, he's good at dirty talking and not too bad at enacting it. I'm sure there was more sex in this book than the others, or it was just hotter - no pun intended!

If your looking for an exciting dragon read this is one to add to your TBR, it has everything action, drama, passion, and heartache.

I'll miss these dragons, I've really enjoyed this series.

Fire Maidens: Greece (Billionaires & Bodyguards Book 8) by Anna Lowe - New Release - Review

Fire Maidens: Greece (Billionaires & Bodyguards Book 8)
by Anna Lowe

After ten years in the military, dragon shifter Theo Lazaridis has a new mission: to check off the last of his father’s requirements and finally claim a vast inheritance. But plans are made to be rewritten and priorities change, especially when a fiery stranger appears, turning his world upside down.

Zoe Thomas is living an archaeologist’s dream on a sun-kissed Greek island. That is, until startling new discoveries at her excavation open a Pandora’s box of trouble — and puts her on a collision course with powerful forces straight out of Greek mythology.

Much as her stubborn pride hates to admit it, Zoe needs help to protect an ancient wonder — and to survive. The problem is, the only person up to the challenge is a tantalizing mystery man she’s been warned not to get involved with... The very man she finds impossible to resist.

Add to Goodreads

My Review

Theo and Zoe's story was great, I really enjoyed it.

Zoe is working alone on a Grecian island. To be working and living alone takes a strong character and that she is. There are a few people keeping an eye on her.

Theo, I liked him - a reformed spoilt rich boy/dragon shifter. He was grounded from his years in service and ready for a new life of his choosing, not one being forced on him!

There were some entertaining characters in this story, I loved the variety of 'creatures'. There's mystery and danger mingled in with the romance.

Bring on the next book.

The Warrior King (Inferno Rising #3) by Abigail Owen - New Release and Review

The Warrior King
(Inferno Rising #3)
byAbigail Owen

Blurb

Meira Amon is the most reserved of the phoenixes, finding computers easier to deal with than people and their messy emotions. But she wants revenge against the Rotting King Pytheios for the murder of her parents just as much as her sisters. Offering herself as a queen for their ally, dragon shifter King Gorgon of the Black Clan, only makes sense.

Just one problem…

Samael Veles worked his lowborn ass off to become the fiercest warrior of the Black Clan. He has pledged his life to protect his king at all costs. Yet somehow, in the middle of war, he took one look at a woman in a reflection and gave up his heart. When that woman turns out to be the phoenix promised to mate his king and help bring peace to their kind, he has no choice but to accept it.

Until her fire unexpectedly destroys the king after they’ve wed. Now Samael must choose between his loyalty to his clan and protecting the queen who might be his mate from his people’s wrath, one of which will unlock a destiny no one could have ever imagined…

My Review

Meira and Samuels book is a slow burn romance, you can feel their connection, even if they try to ignore it! She has promised herself to the Black King Gorgon, who is a good person. Fated mates are once in a lifetime though...

Their story is told around the continuing battle between good and evil and lots of previous characters appear as they all start to come together to fight. The story held my attention and the were some touching moments and a twist or two.

Fiery dragon/phoenix romance, best enjoyed in series order in my opinion.

Enjoy.

New Release - The Protector (Fire's Edge #4) by Abigail Owen - Review

The Protector

(Fire's Edge #4)

by Abigail Owen

The cousin of the High King, Lyndi Chandali has lived with the constant threat of being pawned off as a political prize. A rare, female-born dragon like Lyndi can’t truly mate--not in the way it counts. Which is why she’s kept her distance from a certain sinfully delicious Beta. Instead, she’s built a life for herself giving orphaned dragons in the Americas a home.

As Beta of his team of enforcers, Levi Rowtag is a fighter first, last, and always. His job is to protect--his team, the shifters in his territory, and the stubborn woman hell-bent on fighting with him at every turn. He knows from the moment they first meet what she’ll never accept--they are destined to be mated.

But with the kings at war, the enemy is now coming for Lyndi. Worse, he’s coming for her orphans, too. He’ll have no choice but to defy his king and go rogue if he has any hope of protecting them all...and finally claiming his mate.

Each book in the Fire’s Edge series is STANDALONE:

* The Mate (prequel)

* The Boss

* The Rookie

* The Enforcer

* The Protector

ADD TO GOODREADS

MY REVIEW

Lyndi is a rarity, a female born dragon. She has a big heart and has basically adopted and brought up lots of orphan dragon shifters. Its all done from the heart, but it is also a good distraction from her attraction to Levi.

Levi is the Beta of his team of enforcers, and he is all about protecting others.

I loved these two together, their story is full of action, attraction, steamy and heart pulling moments.

This is a great addition to this series, and one to add to your TBR, if you love some dragon romance like me.

The Boss

(Fire's Edge #1)

Blurb

Finn Conleth leads his team of enforcer dragon shifters with an iron fist and a cold heart. Every dragon seeks his destined mate, but the process to turn the woman he once thought was his killed her and devastated him. He will never risk his heart again. His team is his family now. When his body eventually gives out, he’ll leave, living his last days alone.

Delaney Hamilton moved across the country to escape the freak fires that plague her. But when another suspicious fire erupts and rapidly escalates around her, her hopes for a new life go up in smoke. She has no choice but to turn to the mysterious men who come to her aid.

Finn knows the fire is dragon-caused, which puts Delaney’s problems directly in his jurisdiction. No matter how her wounded grey eyes call to every part of him, he refuses to risk her life in the mating process. 

Until another dragon threatens to claim Delaney for his own, and Finn has to sacrifice everything to keep her alive...

My Review

Dragon shifters that happen to be firefighters, jeez this book knows what I like!

This is a scorcher of a start to a new series.

Finn is a dragon shifter, his the top guy in his group of dragons. The group fight fires that are started by dragons. 

Delaney is happy in her new start. When a minor disaster happens and another fire happens. This fire isn't good but it does bring her face to face with Finn and his group of firefighters.

I liked the sexual tension between Finn and Delaney. The relationship developed at a good pace and I grew to care about the pair of them and wanted them to have a happy ever after.

Danger, of course we have danger, there is the issue with mating the wrong partner - that doesn't end well, then there are there are the rogues that don't want to follow rules and the top brass dragons that rule over all the other dragons.

A must read for Dragon Shifter fans.

This is my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking out for more books in this series.

Searing Ecstasy by Setta Jay - Blog Tour with Review, Excerpt and Giveaway

 

Setta Jay's Guardians of the Realms series returns with the long-awaited and much-anticipated story of Drake in Searing Ecstasy! 

Searing Ecstasy

(Guardians of the Realms #7)

by Setta Jay

Publication: October 7th 2015

Drake, the powerful dragon and leader of the Guardians, has spent his long life protecting all inhabitants of the four Realms, but fails to save the one who matters most. His mate. In the month since finding her feral, he’s been slowly losing control of his beast and soon he fears the dragon will reign free unleashing it’s fury upon the Realms.

Delia has changed. No longer a carefree young woman, she is now a nightmare in the making. After her abduction and torture she unwillingly houses two beasts and more power than she can ever contain on her own. She can never be released. Nor can she have the male who gives her any semblance of sanity in her new world, the one she craves more than her own freedom.

With unknown enemies on the horizon and yet another God awakened will they lose themselves in the madness of an impossible mating? Or will they come together in searing ecstasy, bonding them in a way that sets them both free?

Warning: Sexually explicit content (beds actually get burned down, people) and alpha males and females with bad language.

Excerpt:

-

What’s going on? Delia’s voice in his mind sent the calmed beast into a fucking tailspin. It was so damned sexy his cock pulsed against his jeans. The dragon vibrated with a primal lust so intense it shook Drake’s entire body. The animal slid back to the shining connection and caressed it, making them both groan. Drake barely heard Hades’ furious words to P, “You disrespect your father, Pothos.”

“We’ve come for your help.” P tried to ease his father.

That seemed to calm the God, because the power that licked off Hades eased back. “Please, try to find Apollo and I’ll give you my memories of all that’s happened since you’ve been gone. It will explain everything you want to know.”

Drake heard his mate groan again as the dragon curled around the link. The connection was only a day old and it was already turning him upside down. Her throaty responses were making his cock ride against his zipper.

She slid her mind over the dragon’s body; it was like she could see exactly what was happening with the beast. Invisible fingers slid over the scales and sent pleasure rocketing through his whole fucking body as the beast’s back muscles twitched under the soft touch. His reaction was even stronger than what he remembered of the one and only time he’d scented her. That hint of her had been ingrained inside him and left him hard for weeks. He growled deep. This was worse. This was dangerous.

My Review

So satisfying, I loved it. ❤️

I'm a fan of Setta's I admit that, but this book was one we'd been waiting for, and delivered on every level.

Drake, the leader of the guardians, the one who has smoke around him when he gets irritated or angry, yes that hot guy - it's his book! 

Delia, scrub that Tracey is his fated mate. 

Sod it, oh well Delia is his fated mate, she's been through a lot and it's not even confirmed if they will be able to mate...... Angst/frustration, searing passion (un fulfilled), feelings deepening it all going on between this very powerful couple.

While Delia and Drake continue their journey, theres lots more going on, a missing God, another God keeping secrets and the very sexy Phoenix and his fated playing games with each other. 

This being an erotic paranormal romance you know they finally get it on, all I can say is its so satisfying as a reader when they do, I had to put my kindle down for ten minutes and just relish the moment that had just passed. ❤️

I just loved there story and of course all our other faves popping in and out of the story made it complete.

I have worries about our dear Sirena, there must be someone out there for her? 

A solid five stars from me, when's next book out?
