Fire for Ice

by J.R. Fox

Chris had never really fit in with the other kids...

Chris:
He says I’m a dragon.
A fire dragon.
And that he’s an ice dragon?
It’s not that I think he’s a liar, or anything.
I mean, he’s my professor, and he’s never lied to me before.
But it all just sounds too good to be true.
Not to mention, it would explain why I’ve been the outcast all my life.
And why he took such an interest in me in the first place.
Still, it’s nice to be wanted, for once.
I just wish he’d explain what’s going on with me.
I’m an adult – his dragon mate, he said.
I can handle it.

James:
I’ve been scenting a fire drake for months now.
I never would’ve guessed it was the skinny redhead from my third class.
Luckily, his blood awoke when I was around to claim him.
Now we’re mated, as two drakes should be.
Except, he wasn’t raised a dragon – didn’t know he was a dragon.
He’s a half, actually.
Still thinks too much like a human.
At least he didn’t balk at our mating.
But I worry that the pregnancy will be harder for him to grasp.

It just kinda jumped around a lot and was way too rushed.

H.O.L.E. 2.0

I read just the first story not the bonus ones.
I so wanted to love this, setting so unusual, and I cannot. Mildly like is about it.
I understand it is a short story and those are not filled with a lot of details. But, more backstory would’ve been better than numerous times Chris complained no one liked him.
Ending was abrupt and I hope author continued this story in another way.

I'd really rather prefer knowing that a books is a collection of short stories instead of thinking its a novel or novella. The stories aren't bad, but I'm extremely disappointed that this book is marketed as if it was a single novel and no mention of it being a collection of shorts.

I didn't get far... the beginning was too info dumpy to grab my attention. I might try again when I'm in a more patient mood.

Chris never felt like he belonged anywhere or with anyone. He decides to travel while completing his degree and decides on an interschool transfer to Norway. His mother died while giving birth to him and his father seemed to have withdrawn from everyone. His main professor is James Holt. James sits near Chris whenever possible but maintains a cool disinterest toward him. Chris is a fire drake, unbeknownst to him. James is an ice drake. A very old one and cannot believe Chris is the drake he has been scenting for months.

I felt some ideas needed flushed out more, but an interesting story and a quick read.

I really enjoyed reading this lovely book

I loved reading this wonderful book it was really good. I love the relationship between James and Chris they have a beautiful relationship. I love that they got their happily ever after ending. I love the twists and turns in this book. The author of this book is a really good writer. I will recommend this book to everybody I know and to all my friends too.

A Drake takes an elective

A nice light gentle read. A shy history major falls for his professor on an elective to Norway. There appears to be something pulling them together, Professor Holt claims it's Chris's body heat. Whatever it is Chris feels more confident in Holt's presence.
A pleasant addition to the dragon shifter genre.

Umm

I'm kidnapped...oh look I'm a dragon... And someone just tried to kill me ... I'm not going to wonder what in the world is going on or why I am a dragon... Or why people are trying to kill meI'm just going to jump right into having sex with this guy that obviously knows what's going on could care less about telling me

3.5 stars, dragon shifter. Romantic tale of ice drake professor and half human/fire drake college student in Norway. Chris is captured and rescued by Holt. Heat, sex, bonding, mpreg. Baby born. One long wild very good sex scene during the heat.

[Sierra · Rating 2 out of 5]

Just didn't care for James. He was abrasive and uncaring.

[Furio · Rating 1 out of 5]

This reading experience was about as compelling as the instruction manual for a blender but far less useful.
(YAWN)

[Tara Mcmillan · Rating 2 out of 5]

This kind of bounced around a lot and wasn't quite as good as the last story I reason by this author.

[Deborah · Rating 3 out of 5]

so.... where did the baby come from? he fell asleep then BAM baby

[Zee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good book although there was no name for the baby and also I just feel like there were things in this book that were missing that should have been there but weren't
