Kirall’s Kiss by M.K. Eidem
Kirall was desperate. He was a Black Prime Dragoon, the strongest and fiercest of his kind. He was returning home after defeating the Varana when a small planet's moon triggered his Joining Heat. It shouldn't have been possible.
He was right.
Autumn was desperate. She was human, female and struggling to survive. At twenty-two she was barely making ends meet. It's why she agreed to impersonate her roommate as a waitress for the weekend at a private party. She believed the money would change her life.
She was right.
Two unlikely people are brought together because of desperation. If they can find a way past the deceptions that brought them together, they will change not only each other, but possibly the Universe as well.

A Dragon’s Promise by J.A. Hornbuckle
Warrior Dragon Ti'eron is dedicated to fulfilling his duties to eradicate the alien invasion threatening Earth and all its inhabitants. However, the reappearance of Adri, the young girl he'd promised to live his 'forever' with years before, shatters his resolve and splits his focus.
Adri is instantly attracted to the young commander but refuses to accept the overwhelming desire they feel for one another is all Ti'eron is able to give. Especially in light of the oath he'd pledged to her when they were young.
Because every knows a dragon's promise is never able to be broken.
*-*
Rylin’s Fire by Michelle Howard
Rylin thought he’d lost everything when his mate left him to bond with another.
Then in a surprising twist of fate he inherited the mantle of leadership. Now Rylin rules the Black Dracol but it’s a lonely life. With hopes of finding another mate, he attends a mating party and finds the fates aren’t done with him yet.

'Kirall's Kiss' - MK Eidem
Kirall and Autumn... 4 Stars
Autumn is tricked by her roommate into taking a one night job as a waitress at some kind of party for foreigners. She doesn't know how foreign they are or the 'perks' they will be expecting!
Kirall is going into heat 50 years too early and needs a woman now. Fortunately, that's what the party is for and his friend and co-worker is setting him up with the perfect woman... who is sending her roommate instead. Basically, a big snafu that works out for the best. There are secrets here that have been kept for centuries and deadly aliens that the earth needs defending from. I enjoyed this, but it really needed to be longer. I don't normally say that, because I love short reads, but there's just SOOOO much info packed into only about 100 pages. Still, great characters and interesting world building!
There is now a sequel to make it a more rounded read.
'A Dragon Promise' - JA Hornbuckle
Ti'eron and Adri... 1 Star
I usually love this author, but this story was so unromantic. Ti'eron was such a douche bag and he never redeems himself.
Dragon shifters magically come about on Earth when they are needed to defend humans from whatever. This time it is to defend from hordes of evil space insects. Ti'eron didn't discover he was a dragon shifter til he was a teenager and was taken away to train. His childhood love, Adri was told that he had died. Years later they meet again in a dragon shifter friendly bar. His dragon know that they are mates, but he keeps making excuses. It was sad really, what a cowardly self absorbed dick he was. Then when she really needs him, he leaves her to recover on her own. Such an a-hole!!! he could have just used a damn phone from her bedside! Even the mating ritual was unromantic. Story wise the idea was interesting but the intrigue was thin and obvious. Plot holes galore!
'Rylin's Fire' - Michelle Howard
Rylin and Dara... 3 Stars
Dara goes to another planet looking for love. Unfortunately, previous Earth women have given us a bad name. Ostracized from the party she stands in the shadows only to meet Mr. Tall Dark and Dangerous. They hit it off but politics and a serial killer intervene. Fortunately Dara isn't easily turned away from what/who she wants. The mystery of the killer was pretty good. It kept me guessing. There were a lot of suspects to choose from, lol. I wasn't particularly interested in the world building. Too magical and smacked of Camelot... but it was entertaining anyway.
Overall kinda disappointing. I would follow more of the first story, but not really interested in pursuing the other two worlds.

I red first story , it was ok but would be nicer if longer ! But ok for short read!
February 8, 2017
I only read Kirall's Kiss by M.K. Eidem. I found the story to be too typical and nothing about it deviated from a typical shifter story. I found it somewhat boring and was almost relieved when it was over. Sooo disappointing since I'm a fan of the Tornians.

I find myself frustrated with this book.
MC is deceived by her friend/roommate to work during a weekend at a party as a waitress. From the very first chapter, you already know the job does involve waitressing and that this roommate is taking advantage of MC. The blurb is also very explicit as well as the first chapter of this book.
When the two MC's meet its just a rollercoaster of WTF!
The dialogues were awful! There was no character development. And the story itself doesn't leave anything meaningful.
MC has an immediate idea after the first exchanges with the hero that she's there as a pleasure toy. It isn't clear if the character is into this sort of service or not. Because at first I felt like he forced her, but then reading again the first dialogues she knows what the deal is. Might of had an internal debate, but she knew and she agreed mostly because she was attracted. Or even her need for the money because she's just trying to survive in a harsh reality.
Its just mind boggling how innocent she seems when supposedly she's been through hell. I expected a little more personality. She didn't have to be strong, but she felt shallow.
The hero is an idiot and a douche... I hate him, like a lot!
Going back to the WTF factor... It literally is an INSTA DOSE OF EVERYTHING. Insta-sex, insta-love, insta-mate, insta -etc.
Everything happens in two days of sex! And excuse me for not buying the whole thing!
I would like to add that this is a Sci-Fi alien dragon guy who has no brains but has 3 personalities. Wich I thought was the one thing that made this book interesting.
Erotica badly done. The sex although detailed just made me uncomfortable I've read my share of weird stuff. My mind is open but this was just an overload of things that were not acceptable.
The readers will feel engaged with the writing, but the story&plot will just throw you off. Nothing is believable.
Erotica lame filler and not even a turn on. 1.5. 1 for the beautiful cover 0.5 for the alien race. Just not my cup of tea!

The first story by M.K. Eidem, I was looking forward to. I loved all of her other books. So disappointed. I hated this one. The dragon shifters are willing to erase peoples' memories against their will which makes me dislike them as a race. Then the story had butt sex during the supposedly romantic mating scene. Just ugh. Now I can't read any more books in this series, because she made it a feature of the species. so triggering.
The story by Hornbuckle had a nice premise, but the hero was not likable. He went from saying "I've been looking for you for 10 years" and "You are mine" to saying "I don't have time for a steady girlfriend" within minutes. It gave both the heroine and the reader emotional whiplash. Too stupid to live.
The third story by Michelle Howard was going really well, and I was enjoying it a lot. Then she added ass play to a sex scene near the end and completely threw me out of the story.
So disappointed in this anthology.

Kirall’s Kiss by M.K.Eidem
4,5 stars
Nice, I liked it. A bit predictable but still good for a novella.
A Dragon’s Promise by J.A. Hornbuckle
3 stars
It started with him searching for his long lost love, the love of his life, for the one woman he loved since his childhood, could never forget, where still pining for and sill tried to find again. And then, when he finally found her, he doesn’t want anything serious? Won’t recognize his feelings and tries to keep her at a distance? That’s illogical and doesn’t make sense. Either the long-lost-childhood-love-he-is-searching-for-theme or the not-wanting-commitment-theme, both didn’t work quite right for me, at least not here.
Rylin’s Fire by Michelle Howard
5 stars
Great, it was really good.

November 25, 2015
I was so excited to receive an ARC for Kirall's Kiss by M.K. Eidem, one of the books in this new anthology " Bound By Heat". Ms. Eidem is one of my favorite authors, her two exciting Scifi/romantica series are phenomenal and I am very much hoping that this story of dragon shifters is the beginning of a new series.
The author has an amazing gift for detailed characters, story development and viivid imaginative world building and she has brought these talents into this not so short, short story. Although the main storyline takes place on earth there is much background given into Kirall's planet, the unique dragon shifters who have three different forms they can assume and the way their society and culture functions.
The story begins with Kirall's crew visiting earth for some much needed "female company" finding the human women quite irresistible. They have secretly been mixing among the humans taking great care to keep their identities hidden and erasing the minds of the women they come into contact when their meetings are over.
Kirall is puzzled and not to happy to find himself going into "heat" when his spacecraft is approaching the earth. It is way to early for this to be happening by about 50 years and only the finding of his mate could bring it on earlier. Kirall must take care of his needs to contain the dangerous Dragoon that is a part of him. Although quite alpha, arrogant and insistent, Kirall is a good leader and is well respected. He is a Prime, which is the now the highest level of one of his kind now that the "Supremes" are believed to no longer exist.
Both Kirall and Autumn were special main characters. Autumn fills in for her roommate for what she is told is a waitress position at a special event, because she needs the money. She quickly finds out there is a lot more to the job. Autumn is a strong likable character, although she has had horrible life altering traumatic event in her past sheIs determine to make the most of her life. Autumn is no whiny indecisive female, holding her own with the demanding, gorgeous not totally human male she has been assigned to "serve".
I really loved this book.. This should definitely be expanded into a series and would love to see more of their planet in future books as well. Although this is a novella it has a lot of elements packed into it, including some great twists and turns, suspense and surprises. I read it in one sitting and was truly sorry when it ended, wanted more. This dragon shifter story is exciting, romantic and very hot, and not just because they are dragons!

I like all the authors in this anthology and I looked forward to reading this. I suggest reading this next to a fan blowing cold air or an air conditioning vent. Every single story was dragon fire hot, which I think was the goal. All Three ladies hit the high notes and resonated.
Kirall's Kiss - MK Eidem - starts out intense and never lets go. I gave this one four panties, as that's how often you will have to change while reading this short.
A Dragon's Promise - JA Hornbuckle - This story was sweet. I got a little aggravated by the author not being straight with the girl, but in the end, it works out well. The hot sex while they figure it out was good.
Rylin's Fire - Michelle Howard - This was super sweet, super sexy and I can see that Ms Howard likes writing about dragons. The hero is very protective of his mate. They literally ran into each other just as she was giving up on her dream of finding a man of her own. The danger is real, bu tI figured it out pretty quickly in, so I wasn't surprised, but the story was so well told, it didn't matter that I knew.

Ok ... yes and no ..
Yes really enjoyed the first book by MK Eidem somewhat predictable (could see the plot twist coming) but a enjoyable read a couple of really and good grief moments and whilst not too stupid to live she definately had a totally too naive to believe moment, but still very happy with the story.. off to re-read that next.
No .. JA Hornbuckle story ... no just no! I think this must have been a shorter story and its been padded with hero assholiness really someone you have dreamed of for years and you finally find her and become a undecided twit ... hit it and "cya" what kind of hero is that? And the doormat oops Heroine she gets emotionally shredded repeatedly and lays down for more?
The Military protagonist (well the aliens are the baddies) I was just rolling my eyes at the stupidity, yes bureaucracy is stupid sometimes but this was just ridiculous
4 stars for Mk Eidem
1.5 stars for JA Hornbuckle book

Bound by heat
I bought this book because M.K. Eidem is one of the authors. She did not disappoint. Her book was excellent a true five stars. I could not put it down until I finished. Although you know there will be a series there was no extreme cliff hanger, you only anticipate the next story and want to know more about the characters from this book. The second story, I found to be juvenile. The writing style and phrasing was teenager like. The swearing interrupted the story flow. The characters did not seem to connect, and the heroine had no part in the main action of the story, she was only there for sexual interest. The book also had an abrupt finish, almost as if the author was stopping only because she had to write a second novel. This was two stars. The third novel was a little better, but again the heroine had no real connection to the main plot, she was just the main sexual interest. Three stars.

Kirall's Kiss - I am a huge fan of M.K. Eidem so to see her story included in this set made it an automatic buy for me. I wasn't disappointed. This story was brilliant. I loved how Autumn and Kirall were brought together and how their relationship developed. The ending was fab and I can only hope that M.K. Eidem continues with their story. 5 stars.
A Dragon's Promise - this story was okay. It lacked something special though. The couple were interesting and I liked that they had history but I didn't really feel an overwhelming connection between the two. 3 stars.
Rylin's Fire - I really enjoyed this. There was plenty of suspense and I didn't have an inkling as to who the killer was. Would have liked to have seen what happened with Kon and Breya. I adored the epilogue. 4 stars.

I absolutely loved this anthology. Each book was soooo good. I have read a lot of M.K.Eidem and loved all the books and also Michelle Howard . J.A.Hornbuckle I have never read and at first it was a little slow but it took off like gangbusters and wouldn't hesitate to read more books by J.A. Hornbuckle. This is one book I will be re-reading. All 3 authors are such good writers that you feel like you could actually be in their story line. Good story, characters, and good suspense it keeps you wanting a lot more at the end. Highly recommend.

Loved all three short stories!! All very different but similar with hot alpha males changing into awesome dragons and fearless women leads. I'm really looking forward to read more from each authors
I still would have love a bit more than just sex for Kirall and Autumn in the first book. I was expecting to follow them back to Mundo, maybe fight the Verana... That would have been just awesome.
Also, will we know if Rylin and Dara's children will survive???

**Full confession: I purchased this because I couldn't wait to get my greedy little hands on the new M.K Eidem story, Kirall's Kiss. Holy moly!! She knocked it out of the galaxy with this one (again)! I just love all her books, and this was no exception. She is quickly becoming one of my "one-click" authors. I need more in this series Ms. Eidem!!!
The remaining two books were good. I enjoyed them. I will look for more J.A. Hornbuckle books as for Michelle Howard's books.

First novella was a bit disappointing from MK Eidem who usually has a flawless tempo and writing style. This one seemed a bit forced and the storyline... well, would you stand in for your friend, the well known Sl*t?
The second novella was not much better.
Saving the best 'til last, the Michelle Howard, never fails to satisfy. Strong storyline that held attention to the very end.
The overall mark reflected the disappointment with the first two novellas

Sexy dragons and adventure
I enjoyed this anthology. The stories by MK Eidem and Michelle Howard were great. Interesting takes on dragons. I didn't read the JA Hornbuckle story but that was only because I don't like first person. Totally personal preference. I'm sure it's a good story.

Bound By Heat: A Dragon Shifter Anthology
Each author brings a wonderful creativity to the whole storyline with each addition complimenting the plots of the Dragon's and their Lira's/mates. It's a lot of fun reading and I'm recommending that you check it out for yourself and the price is great way to get 3 for the money.

no, just no.
TSTL heroine and borderline rapy kind of scenes in the first book. But I liked the dragon angle and twist.
Second story was full of grammar blunders and/or typo's. It was also really juvenile. The "heroine" was a dormat, the "hero" a douche.
Didn't get to the last story (yet)

I got this book for m k Edim . However I really liked the other stories as well, and in the future will get more involved with those series.
