Bonds of Fire
Drekken is a dragon warrior. Bonded to his dragon, Miri, together they lead a squadron of fliers. His fliers respect him, his enemies fear him, his reputation precedes him. Yet, nothing in his life could have prepared Drekken for his greatest challenge: babysitting.
Stranded after a deadly battle, separated from his squadron and Miri, Drekken finds himself the only hope for two young empaths and their nursery group of hatchlings. He must lead them all to safety and, along the way, discover some truths about himself.

28 books109 followersI've been writing since I was a wee thing, and publishing since I discovered the internet in 1994 or so.
Every waking hour outside work, you can find me scribbling away at many a story that just won't leave me alone.
So what do I write? Contemporary and urban fantasy have mainly been my playground, but I have done some real world settings as well. I do like mystery and have been reading (and watching) Agatha Christie since I was a child. I've also been known to do a bit of poetry. I also write erotica under the pen name: Ariana Lovelle.
Style: I have been told I do angst well, so if you want your heartstrings twanged, or your tummy to tie in knots until the end, then I'm your gal. I am, however, a happy ending junkie, although I do throw a hint of realism in there sometimes as well. I like a few twists and turns on the way in some of my plots, although I have written my share of PWPs as well. I have to admit a small obsession with eyes: I believe they are the seat of beauty in a person, so I play with them in creature fic and use them for expression in others - personal hang up, sorry. Also, I have never met a cliché I didn't like and I am a firm believer that cliché is fine if you do it right.
Writing is a passion and there's nothing better than writing for an audience. Any writer who says they don't care about feedback must have had an ego amputation :) If you life my scribbles, I'd be very glad to hear from you.

Awwwww..... what a cute little story!
Drekken, a dragon warrior, takes baby dragons and barely legal humans under his protection while trying to escape enemy forces that occupy a destroyed village.
Yes, there are typos and various editorial mistakes, but did I say it was cute? and sweet? and it had dragons in it? =)
3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.

Interesting Free Short.
There is a lot of world building for such a short story, but that didn't stop me from wanting to know more about the war going on, the dragons and the bondings between them and humans.
The 'romance' part is very a very small part of this story and not really clear, but I loved the baby dragons and would love to know how the two young empaths and Drekken and Miri and Baby D continued on.

Not a bad story, but editing mistakes kept me from fully engaging.

Sweet little book with baby-dragons, elves and a warrior with a golden heart. No sex, some MMM erotic. I wish, the book would be longer.

A well-written short story; good writing, and good world building to fit in a short story. It picks up right away with action and world building, an interesting mix of magic, technology and dragons. I would like to know more about the Feras and what their beef was with Army Draco, their society and pair-bonding, but then it wouldn't be a short story anymore :) Oh, and especially more about the relationship, but more on that later.
The story is narrated by Drekken, an army general who has been seperated from his dragon. In the ensuing dilemma, he meets two empaths, Yakov and Malachi, along with their delightful entourage of baby dragons. I really liked the different kinds of dragons, their quirks, and the way they interacted with their human carers. I also think she did a good job highlighting each characters' personalities, including the dragons.
I really liked everything in this story; the only thing I felt this story was really lacking was in the threesome relationship Drekken begins with the two empaths. I don't often read threesomes, because whenever I do, it seems like someone is always being left out. This is another example.
In this case, it seemed like Malachi didn't really belong. He has a strong connection with Yakov, whom he has a long history with, and when the two meet Drekken, Yakov defenitly puts himself in the limelight, and Malachi is left in his shadow. This is largely due to their personalities; Yakov's personality is very upfront, friendly, and outgoing. Malachi by contrast doesn't feel like he needs to draw attention to himself and is more confident in himself than Yakov. Yakov also throws himself at Drekken a lot (so its really his fault :P
Throughout the story, Yakov is frequently talking to Drekken and the reader is given more information on Yakov's history than Malachi's. Yakov flirts with Drekken, he kisses Drekken a lot, and has a bit of an upset that Drekken has to fix (without Malachi's help). Nothing much happens with Malachi, with either guy. The only serious talk Drekken has with Malachi is when Malachi is feeling threatened by Drekken's inclusion in his and Yakov's relationship. This is the one and only time Drekken seems to actually pay attention to Malachi, or is focused on him, without Yakov stealing his attention again. The one time actually, that Drekken makes a pass at him, whereas Yakov gives him plenty of chances. I think the author should have either worked to include Malachi with Drekken more along with Yakov, or just changed the relationship in the story to be just between Yakov and Drekken. The way it is in the story doesn't really work, I think.
Personally, I liked Malachi more than Yakov and I would have liked to see more of him than was presented, especially since he is supposed to be in this relationship with the other two characters. I don't think this makes it a bad story, not at all; actually I think it gives the author more room to expand the story and develop their relationship. I think the story has a lot of good potential to expand, and not just with the relationship aspect.

Quickly finished this short fantasy m/m story. Drekken is an augmented human warrior life-bonded to his dragon Miri. In this story he leads two empathic humans and their group of young dragons to safety, including newly-hatched baby dragon D. Feels like this should be part of a much longer book..
"I don't want him, not without you," Drekken sighed the second of his realisations that day.
Malachi looked so young then, his dark eyes uncertain and confused.
"But you've been flirting with him all the time," Malachi revealed he was the watching kind.
Drekken chuckled and dismissed, "That's because Yakov is easy to flirt with."
"But," Malachi began, hackles rising a little again.
"But you're harder work," Drekken stole his words and risked a tease, before leaning forward and whispering in the youth's ear, "and so worth it."

I got this book for free a long time ago, but never got around to reading it. I finally randomly decided to read it, and boy am I glad I did. This was a great little read that I highly enjoyed. It took a little while for me to get into the story, and I almost gave up near the beginning, but I stuck it out and was well rewarded. This was a glimpse into a very interesting world, and my only regret is that it ended far too soon for me. I would love to see this book and this world expanded upon, as I have tons of questions left unanswered.

This is a nice little M/M fantasy story with dragons.
There is nothing particularly original in it, but it is well done:
-setting is clear and well outlined with its interesting mix of magic and technology;
-characters are likeable and credible;
-plot is interesting and makes sense.
On the downside, beside a couple of editing problems (missing words here and there) the ending -happy though it is- releases too much tension and implies a change in atmosphere from the warlike to the cosy that is not well managed.

This was a cute high fantasy/sf about a warrior who falls off his dragon behind enemy lines and finds himself stuck taking care of a couple of late teen empaths and their assorted baby dragon orphans.
Things I liked about this one:
-Strong world-building without info-dumping. It feels like a large world in which you as reader are seeing a small story. There are clearly lots of things happening off page. It starts in medias res, why is there a war? Eh. Why is there ever war?
-There's both high tech (implants, laser guns) and magic and dragons. No one explains because why would the characters discuss something that's normal for them.
-Varied arrangements of family structure and romantic interactions. The MC has 3 moms, at least one of whom is a dragon (I think?). His closest relationship is a platonic bond with his dragon partner and when he adopts a baby it's also hers. Polyamory is fine and there's no suggestion of anyone caring about homosexuality.
I would definitely read more set in this world. Dekken's team seemed cool, maybe they also get romances.

This is a rather complex story. Which is good - and bad.
It really keeps your interest. The hint of worldbuilding is good and gets you to want more. There was a bit of mystery surrounding the characters’ past.
For such complexity it was way too short. Instead of an intriguing tale unfolding you get a loose web spread out on a couple of scenes. Which in turn made it a bit hard to follow. It also didn’t lend it self to give the characters any depth and made the chemistry between the main characters lacking.
I think the concept and the whisper of worldbuilding was promising and would have worked out well in a longer story where it could have been fleshed out more. As it is now it doesn’t answer all the questions you have; What kind of war is this? Who is the enemy and why? What does the relation/ social structure between dragons and humans look like? Well, I could go on longer....
The point is, while I really liked the concept there is also not much else to the story to satisfy me after reading it.

The impression I had from this book is that there are people, who live peacefully with their dragons, while they fight mercenaries hunting and selling dragons. It's an interesting world, but due to the length the reader only gets a glimpse of it. Drekken is a warrior, bonded to his dragon Miri, with special technical upgrades all over his body. He fell off his dragon in a fight and lost contact with his squadron. Now he finds himself faced with two human empaths and six baby dragons he needs to escort to safety.
Though I enjoyed this cute little story, I have to say it read more like a draft or a prologue for a book, because there is certainly more to be told. Also, the editing could have been better. 3,5 stars.

Unexpected and a feel good story
I recommend this story at its warmest, surprisingly good even if it was too short.
Good world-building and characters that were interesting. You sense the chemistry between them, but that's all you get. And the enemy image isn't addressed well enough either. As a reader, your left with more questions than answers.
I don't want to complain too much, since this was a freebie. Hopefully, the author finds inspiration to pick up this story and develop it further.

too short
This feels like it should be a series. There is so many hints towards a backstory and I can almost feel how the characters wants to build. And I need to know more about what’s going to happen with the main characters, will they become a throple? Or what do you call three humans and a dragon? Plus a bunch of (or a crocodile as the author called it) baby dragons?

This one was short and adorable. A hardened warrior thrown off his dragon and forced to babysit dragon hatchlings. It was a heartwarming story and the interaction between Drekken and D was so sweet. The mothers though. Poor guy. Would happily read a continuation of this one.
September 8, 2018
I really liked it
Although this was really short I really liked it. It definitely needs more world building. For example, who are the Feras? Why are they at war? I just need more. Hopefully everything will be more fleshed out in the next book.

An interesting and quick read. I enjoyed it and really liked the bond between Brekkan and Baby D as well as his growing relationship with Malachi and Yakov.

4 solid stars for this book. I liked the establishment of family and the relationships between human and dragon. I would have liked to know more about the opposing forces. The dragons were cute!

Technology and dragons
Bonding with dragons, technology and humanity are all intertwined with in the saga. Pern w with a mixture of Dune and a little of magic.

Sweet short story with baby dragons. But, it could do with a good editor.

This is a lovely story. It could use another edit, but the story itself is fantastic. I’d love to read more about these characters.

I must say that I very much enjoyed this short story...as that's what it is...a short story, a VERY short story. There was so much packed into this novella that it definitely had the potential to be a full length novel. Even though things were a little crammed in I didn't feel that the romance elements were rushed in any way just that they weren't explored in very much depth. This is a M/M romance novella, however, it is very tame compared to a lot of other stories out there, especially when compared to some of the ones I have read before *blush*. There is no sex, nothing graphic or explicit, just a bit of flirting...perhaps a little kissing, but that's about it. The attraction between the male characters is very obvious and so if a man lusting after another man makes you feel a little queasy then definitely stay away from this one.
I enjoyed this story so much that I would not hesitate reading a sequel if it were to become available, perhaps even three installments that could be put together to make into a full length novel...just some suggestions there *hint* *hint*.
The story itself takes you, the reader, on a wonderful fantasy filled adventure...where there be DRAGONS! I love Dragons...any mystical creature fascinates me and this story has the 'cute' factor, little baby dragons, families made where humans and dragons are combined, love, friendship, compassion and an invitation to brand new, exciting worlds.
Highly recommended from me...I just wish it was longer.

Oh, I want so much more of this. It worked well as a short story, but there was enough to be expanded into a full length novel (always my preference). I love that, despite being short, the romance didn't feel rushed. In fact it doesn't really even come to a head in the story. I did feel a little bit like Malachi was shorted. Drekken's attraction to Yakov is so overt that, despite being told Drekken is falling for Malachi too, he feels secondary. I was a little disturbed in the beginning because Yakov and Malachi are referred to as youths for so long that I was visualising them as 12ish. So when the attraction started heating up I got a little scared. I heaved a huge sigh of relief when their ages were finally addressed. They are 19 & 20.
I adored the way the reader is keyed into Drekken's emotions and even though he is a 'big bad warrior' he is able to show soft emotions without ever looking weak. I also really liked the way humans and dragons for families. It made for a really intriguing world.
All in all I thought this was a touching, well-written story that I would love to see more of. I'm curious about the cause of the war, how Drekken and Miri manage as parents, and how Yakov and Malachi progress. I'd love to witness Drekken's attempt to live near his mothers again and to see him try to keep from being further organised. Thrilled to have read it.

This held my attention alright and I loved all the dragons, but I was a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it was just that I wanted more than a novella, maybe it was the writing at times, maybe the ending felt too rushed... and maybe I should stop saying maybe because yes, it was all of those things. I enjoyed reading a polyamorous relationship simply because I haven't before, but I can see why other reviewers were saying it should've been expanded on more with Malachi. It did feel a little lopsided with Drekken and Yakov quite often, and I kept watching the page count increase knowing that there would be no time to properly get enough dialogue and interaction in with the three of them together. The first interaction held such promise and I was really getting pumped for what would come next... and then the romance kinda fell flat overall. That was disappointing.
To be clear, this wasn't in any way a bad book, and considering it's available free and under 100 pages I regret absolutely nothing. Yes I absolutely wish I got more from it, but still worth the read. Any time I can read about telepathic bad-ass dragons and their babies is a win in my books.

So...this story follows part-dragon warrior Drekken on a quest with two young men to bring a half a dozen newborn dragons to safety from those that would do them harm.
What's good: Bonds of Fire is free. Good world building and interesting characters. A man with strong parental instincts is refreshing!
What irked me: the dragons...were they pets? Or powerful fantastical creatures? Could they be on the same cognizant level as humans?! And what was this "bonding" issue?
Eh, I'm just not an animal person, so deep/meaningful relationships with animals elude me. But hey, if you love your dog, then maybe Bonds of Fire will pack a punch.
That said, the story did make me raise my eyebrows at certain points as it skirted bestiality. Which, I suppose, makes it a good thing this story is not explicit at all. There was an interesting menage vibe going on that is never properly addressed (i.e., smut); it was only hinted at maybe.
Well, it's free and short. No real complaints. So read it, why not?

Wonderfully imaginative story with suspense and sweetness. Drekken is an fascinating character with his dragon bond, enhancing implants, and surprisingly loving and gentle aspects. There is plenty of cuteness with the young dragons, balanced by building attraction between Drekken and the pair bond of Yakov and Malachi. While there is nothing more than kissing, the chemistry is great. I am not one for menage but this didn't have the usual erotic overtones, just warmth and tenderness (and no sex). My only disappointment with the story is that it's so short; it felt like it ended right as the next part should be starting. I will definitely look for a sequel and other books set in this world. This is such a little gem and a sweet read between heavier things.
