Her brilliant blues eyes and luscious curves have haunted his every thought for over six years. The guilt of his younger brother’s death a weight around his heart, keeping him from claiming the one the Universe had made for him and him alone. Aidan, a fierce Dragon Guardsman, now knows nothing was as he thought! And the woman he believed was unattainable is within his grasp! If only he can keep her safe from those that would use her to hurt him...

Grace is a successful lawyer, seeking justice for those that would otherwise be forgotten. Her incredible strength and intelligence make her a champion for the downtrodden. When she stumbles into a case that is so much more than she ever imagined, her very life hangs in the balance and the man whose scent sends her heart racing and her temperature rising is the only one that can keep her safe. Her life is irrevocably changed when she comes face to face with those hypnotic amber eyes!

There are no coincidences. Aidan will do everything in his power, including give his very life, to keep his mate safe. The Universe does not make mistakes. Grace and Aidan are meant to be together, in this life and the next, but the forces both natural and magical that are sworn to keep them apart have been a step ahead of the Dragon Guard all along. Can these fated mates defy all odds and live the life that is their destiny?

Fate will not be denied!

*** ARC provided by the author for an honest and unbiased review ***

Her Dragon's Fire by Julia Mills is even better than her first book! Book 2 of the 'Dragon Guards' series covers a short but very intense period of time once Grace Kensington and Aidan O'Brien meet face-to-face.

Aidan, in his dragon form, literally caught scent of Grace and recognized her as his mate six years prior. Distracted by his search for her, tragedy struck. He and Andrew, his blood brother, were attacked by mages intent on the destruction of the Dragon Guards. Coming out of a stupor, Aidan saw the mages kill Andrew and lost the mind link to his brother. Grief-stricken, Aidan blamed himself for his distraction and stopped looking for his mate.

While searching for the mages (as well as hunters also trying to end dragons' existence), the Dragon Guard shockingly learned Andrew still lived. The traitorous dragon revealed himself while trying to kill the Dragon Guard commander's mate (in Her Dragon To Slay). Aidan discovered Commander Rayne's mate, Kyndel, is Grace's best friend and 'sister of the heart'. In the six months since, Aidan has still avoided Grace because she would be in grave danger if it was known she is a Dragon Guard mate.

While Kyndel lives in her new dragon home, Aidan occasionally lives in her apartment and uses it as his base during the ongoing mage/hunter search. Grace keeps in touch with Kyndel by phone and knows that Rayne's 'brother' stays in the apartment. Grace is a lawyer in the state prosecutor's office chasing down leads on the 12-month manhunt for an elusive kidnapper called 'The Auctioneer'. After a massive day-into-evening work session, Grace decides to crash in Kyndel's place, and mate and dragon destinies collide.

As feared, Grace is endangered, and it seems their two searches overlap each other. Everything intensifies and the need for speed becomes vital...

New author, Julia Mills, came on strong with Her Dragon To Slay and delivers her own blast of dragon's fire with her second book. She builds on a sound base with further character development and world building without repetitively dipping into the first book. The well-balanced mix of character thoughts with words and actions provide further peeks into the dragons' early lives. Andrew's momentary flashes of his former conscience (quickly and firmly squelched) provide just the sort of surprises that keep excitement thrumming as the tale unfolds.

After the crisis is averted, Grace and Aidan's arrival in the dragon community reveals more detail about it through the events leading up to the mating ceremony, the ritual itself, and Grace's exploration of the area and venture into the Cave of the Elders. The build-up across these two books cements reader affection. Mills' talent at 'wordcraft' provides hours of pleasure for us and teases just enough to have us clamoring for the next in the series.

As a beta reader I was privilieged to have gotten an advanced reader copy from the author. This is her second book period and she has done very well. Yes I found editing issues but I was looking for those except when I got so involved in the story that I forgot to make note of them for her.

As a new author she is on her way to becoming a great author. I foresee a day that she will make it into the top ten bestsellers list she is that good in my eyes.

After discovering his brother survived after believing him to be dead Aidan is floored to discover he is the one who captured and injured his commander Rayne's mate Kyndel. At the end of book one Aidan goes in hot pursuit after his brother Andrew.

Aidan's path crosses with Grace's after she comes to Kyndel's apartment to rest after a late night at the office. Grace is a lawyer bent on discovering the identity of "The Auctioneer" so she can bring him to justice.

You can discover the rest of the story by picking up your own copy and trust me you will not be disappointed to have done so as Julia will draw you in on the adventure with Aidan and Grace.

This series just got better. I love the plot and story line. Packed with action and adventure, Julia pulls you in and gives you a front row seat in her story. I cant wait to see what she comes up with next. This series is well worth following. I am hoping Julia will continue through all of the Guard, and bless us with many more great stories.

My favorite quote from this book is:
'...when the two halves of the same whole meet, their will be instant recognition. Their souls will merge and only then will the dragon shifter know complete peace; they will have found their true home. It will be as if the time before they met does not exist. All that matters is that they become one in body, mind, and soul.'

(ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review)

Why did it take me getting an email asking to take part in a blog tour for this book for me to discover this author?! Holy smokes batwoman, I was on the edge of my seat and completely lost myself in this book.

Grace is a lawyer. She is an amazingly strong lead character, while also being vulnerable. She is a perfect mix of my idea lead character and it makes a change to see her in a book.

Aiden is a Dragon. A very hot, very alpha dragon and my next book husband…… Sorry Grace. He first noticed his mate 6 years before but things got in the way of them meeting and now he’s found her again he’ll do anything to keep her.

I’ve said this before about books but I don’t think I every truly knew what I was saying until now. This book really does keep you on the edge of your seat. You just don’t know what’s going to come next. Between Aiden’s brother Andrew and other factors (not giving spoilers) you really will need a new manicure.

The author has done a great job with the characters and their development. The story and the plotline flow really well too. The suspense is done to a level that it keeps you on your toes without turning you off completely because it’s too much.

Can’t wait to see what else Julia has in store for us in the future!

This book is amazing. I love Grace and Aiden. This book was nonstop, I couldn't put it down. I was hooked from the first line. The descriptions of how Grace felt, just from the smell of Aiden were amazing. Grace is a very strong female lead, I loved it. She isn't one of those, that has to wait for someone to rescue her, she likes to take care of herself. Yes, there are times she does need help, but she's still fighting and never gives up. Aiden is such a hot alpha. But he is caring and very loving as well. I cannot wait until the third book comes out :) Thank you Julia for letting me have an ARC to read.

What is there to say...Julia Mills has done it again. If at all possible I might love this more than Her Dragon To Slay. I laughed and cried. I loved the scene with the dragons flying before the mating ceremony. So descriptive I could see them in all their glory. This book is an absolute must read. There is so much more to be said about this fantastic book but words fail me right now. It was an amazing read! I recommend this book to everyone and if you have a love of dragons you need to read this series!!! Can't wait for the next book! Great job, Julia!

Her Dragon's Fire
Book 2 in The Dragon Guard Series
3.75 Stars

Once again Ms. Mills has created a story with good editing and flow. Though the grammatical errors are still fairly prominent in this second book there is some improvement. My connection with the 2 main characters was much more solidified in this story. Ms. Mills was able to show me more of the characters' personality rather than tell me about them, and though the inner monologue is still very present and used in abundance, there was more interaction between the characters than in the first book. Something I noticed in this book that kind of baffled me was the POV, it seemed like I was being told the story from the outside looking in (as though a third person was telling their story, a lot of She...He instead of Me...I). Also mixed in of course was the changing POV of the main characters' inner monologue. The character development is still needing more depth to really flush out the full personality, though Ms. Mills does detail what each character is feeling the actions of the characters don't always coincide (except during the sexy smexy scenes).

This was a wonderful follow up to the first book in the series. I did feel some confusion during the mating ceremony that wasn't identical to the first books description. From the details in the first book the bite happens during the mating ceremony after the elders have spoken then the union is consummated afterwards, in this book Aidan bit Grace in the woods outside of the warehouse during an intimate moment, and even made mention of his mark on her neck, it seemed odd that no one ever noticed her marks afterwards. This could just be a case of misunderstanding or that there is no one specific structure to the mating process. I love that we still get to interact with the original characters from the first book. I look forward to reading the future releases of The Dragon Guards series, these are fun stories with some drama, a little action, some romance and some really hot dragon shifters. I think the one I look forward to the most is Royce's book, there is something about him that just makes him so swoon worthy :)
I can't wait for Andrew to get what's coming to him, and I hope he doesn't always get the opportunity to hurt the females, I would hate to think each female mate is mangled by this creep in some way. As I delve further into the world Ms. Mills has graciously created I am feeling that "I need the next book now" syndrome. So Ms. Mills I hope you are a busy bee writing like a mad woman!! LOL

Favorite Lines “I promise on all that I hold sacred, I will never let anything happen to you again.”

“She had so many more things she wanted to experience with him. She would find a way back.”

“Yes, she did Mr. O’Brien, and this necklace is never going to stop ringing”


Yep! Just as amazing as the first book in this spectacular series!
Aiden is a tortured soul he has felt so responsible first for Aiden's brothers death then his betrayal. Now he just wants to find him and make him pay. So when his mate walks through the door (while in a comprising position) he can't believe his luck and how he was almost caught. (It was hilarious!)
Grace is after "The Auctioneer" a horrible man who takes woman and sells them. All she cares about is putting that trash behind bars. She's been working non-stop to find him. One night she decided to go to her best friend Kyndel's house since she was exhausted and what does she find?? A gorgeous man who makes her "spidey senses" tingle like crazy.
All while fighting the traitor and looking for the auctioneer these two fall head over heels for each other. You have to read this one to find out if the traitor and the bad guy get in the way.
The YUMMINESS in this book was enough to make my toes curl.
This author does a great job of brining you into her world and holding you there ease. It's a fabulous series that I hope continues for many more books!
Bravo!

What if there were no mistakes in the Universe and there was one person made just to complete you? How long could you live without your mate and what would you do to claim them once you found them? In the Dragon Guards world they are the warriors that stand proud and fight enemies that threaten not only their kind but protect humans as well. After decades of battling the fighting takes a toll on your soul, but the Universe also holds a great reward for their service in the form of mate that completes them.

In the second book of the Dragon Guards series, we are reintroduced to Aidan, a dedicated dragon shifter, as he works to claim his mate, a human woman named Grace.

Grace is a brilliant and feisty lawyer who is used to questioning everything to get to the truth and justice of any situation. When she meets Aidan sparks fly between the two mates in a way she can't explain. A beautiful and muscled man the raises questions he can't answer.Hunted by an old enemy of Aidan's will she be able to trust her heart and the bond between herself and Aidan to survive? What price will the mates pay to save one another from a traitor who will stop at nothing to make Aidan hurt in every way possible, including kidnapping Grace?

I was a huge fan of the first book in the series, Her Dragon to Slay, and this book definitely didn't disappoint. There's a wonderful mix of romance and steamy erotic moments with action and battle so one element doesn't overwhelm the other. I'm a sucker for the fated romances and the journey of watching two people come together so this book held my attention from page one and still hasn't stopped. This is a fantastic second book and a great continuation in the series. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. If you are looking for a dragon shifter romance with action intertwined this is a great series!

Her Dragon’s Fire
I know I can not give any review to do this book it’s do. Aiden and Grace they are so good together, magical chemistry, I read the first book Her dragon to Slay and loved it. Now we have the second in the dragon guard series and again I am blown away, Aiden is a rough guy but is a teddy bear under his rough exterior when it comes to his mate and the author brings hid character to life , in a mind bending breathless way,,,, can I just say hot and loyal and caring and oh you get the picture. Grace is a strong woman with very deep convictions on bringing bad people to pay, she is a lawyer. In this story you get engrossed in danger not only from a brother guard Andrew, the brother that is hell bent on vengeance but other factors as well so from start to end , add romance and WOW. I so recommend this book and can not wait to read about the next Guardsman ,, Keep writing like this . 5 stars for sure

I liked the first book of Julia Mill's Dragon Guard Series, Her Dragon to Slay, but Her Dragon's Fire BLEW ME AWAY! Julia turned up the fire in book 2 and the storyline is amazing!

A brother seeking revenge for what his older brother couldn't do. Protect him. Andrew needed his brother Aidan, but Aidan only had one thing on his mind that night when Andrew become a prisoner to a sick group of hunters, and that was his mate Grace. Aidan's Dragon sensed her and needed to find her, letting his guard down leading to an attack by the hunters. The consequence; Andrew was taken prisoner and tortured. Andrew planned his escape and his last attempt at revenge went sour, but this time he was finally going to make his brother feel the pain he went through as a prisoner.

Aidan was on a mission and that was to track Andrew down. He was a loose cannon and things could go wrong at any moment, but little did he expect to see his mate come right to him.

Grace had decided to go to her friends apartment after a late night at the office. There were way to many crimes at night and she didn't want to be a headliner on the 11 o'clock news. Neither was she prepared to walk right into what was going to be a wild ride...in more ways than one *wink*

There is action, suspense, and romance!

This story is a must read and Julia Mills has bloomed as a writer. I can not wait for her next book!

Her Dragon's Fire

This is the second installment in “The Dragon Guard” series. It is Aidan and Grace’s story.
Aidan is a member of the Dragon Guard, and staying in Kyndall’s apt. while looking for his brother, Andrew.
Grace is an assistant in the District Attorneys Office. She is currently looking into the case of abduction by one referred to as “The Auctioneer”. She is also a very close friend of Kyndall’s.
After a particularly long and frustrating day, Grace decides to go to Kynall’s apt. instead of going home. When she gets there, she meets Aidan, and the fun begins.
There is much danger surrounding them. Unbeknownst to them, Andrew is living in a condo across the street from the apartment, and when he sees Grace enter, he knows that she is Aidan’s mate. He then begins to plot his revenge on his brother (who he blames for all the bad things that have happened).
There is so much beauty in this story, as well as danger. It keeps you guessing.
Aidan and Grace are a wonderful couple, and of course Kyndall is thrilled that her best friend will be joining her.
Ms Julia has really outdone herself on this one. It is funny, touching and scary. It is also and outstanding read. You won’t be disappointed.

This second installment to the Dragon Guard Series has exceeded all my expectations. A whole new twist to"made for each other" when Aiden and Grace meet face to face for the first time her special intuition "spidey sense" tells her that she is safe with Aiden and the pull is instant and undeniably mutual.
The action is practically non stop and Andrew is moving forward with plans to take down his once beloved Dragon clan.
If you read the first installment of "Her Dragon to Slay", which I highly recommend, your gona love this one!
I went through the whole gambit of an emotional rollercoaster right along side my new found friends. I chuckled, laughed, teared up and almost wanted to roar out with the anguish felt by Aiden as he held the lifeless Grace in his arms. This was my "OH, HELL NO" moment and I was actually angry until the universe with all its wisdom stepped in.
You have to read it for yourself but I will say that I was moved by this story and it looks like we are gona be meeting Samantha soon. It seems that the universe has picked her out especially for Lance.
But alas, Andrew seems to be gearing up again. He is so broken, he gets more diabolical the longer he is free.
I sure hope Julia is working on the next installment. I am so looking forward to the continuing saga of the Dragon Guard Series.

REVIEW
What a fantastic book. In this next installment the action continues as brother Andrew who betrayed his brothers and his brothers at arms is on the move to eliminate those who he feels wronged him.

Aidan is a fierce guardsman within the dragon guard and he knows where his lifemate is and whom she is but he can’t be with her not until he takes care of capturing his brother. However with Rayne and his new mate expecting a baby he decides to go stay at Kyndel’s old apartment and try to find his brother.

Grace is a very hard working lawyer and she is best friends since college with Kyndel. Her body comes to life just thinking of the sexy man who is staying at her best friends place.

Sparks fly and love blooms and the action is non stop in this book.
Can Aidan stop his crazed brother? Can he finally have his lifemate and keep her safe?

5 Amazing Hot as Fire Stars
This is book 2 in the Dragon Guards series. I have completely fallen in love with Aiden and Grace. I LOVE when I get a book where the couple is destined and meant to be together. The love is so fierce and intense. The emotions just jump off the page, grab your heart and never let go. In Grace, we get a strong female lead who isn't afraid to take charge. She's not a damsel in distress who just sits back and waits. Now for Aiden... woo! He is HOT HOT HOT! He is definitely an alpha male so you get the controlling aspect that comes with alphas, but you also get a love that is so strong and intense it just makes you melt. He loves Grace fiercely and will give anything and everything to keep her safe, including his life. I was unable to put this book down from start to finish and can't wait for more wonderful adventures from this wonderful author! ~Lauren

It is a must read for anyone who loves dragon shifters. These dragon shifters are super sexy. I wish I could be one of their mates. This book will take you on an adventure with Aiden and Grace.

Her Dragon's Fire takes us back to the world created in Her Dragon to Slay of humans, Dragonshifters, hunters and magic. This is the story of the second member of the Dragon Guard, Aiden.
Aiden is a Dragonshifter, part of an ancient clan which serves to protect dragons by sharing the same space as them and can call the dragon from within when needed. The first book saw Rayne find his mate, Kyndel and introduced the reader to the rest of Dragon Guard clan. Aiden already knows who his mate is but he has been punishing himself as searching for her got his brother, Andrew, killed. Unfortunately Andrew was captured, rather than killed and has feelings of extreme anger and betrayal towards his clan and is out for revenge because they didn't search for him.
Grace is the lucky lady destined to be Aiden's mate. Grace is Kyndel's best friend and a highly successful lawyer, working on a case that involves abducted women. She is a hard working, fiercely independent woman, who is sometimes stubborn and finds it very difficult to trust men.
Aiden has been fighting his attraction to Grace since the incident with his brother and is determined not to act on his deep feelings until Andrew has been caught. He is staying in Kyndel's house but managing to avoid Grace when she visits. Grace has never met Aiden but is instantly turned on by his smell when visiting Kyndel's house. When they do meet, sparks fly as the attraction between them is strong.
However it is not long before Andrew plans to use Grace in his plan of revenge against his brother and the rest of the clan. But his plan starts to unravel when Grace is attacked by those working with the warlock he needs to increase his power. This was definitely not part of the plan. Aiden and his clan manage to save Grace from certain death at their hands and this forces Aiden and Grace to confront the intense feelings they have for each other. In the aftermath as Grace tries to come to terms with the attack, she finds comfort in Aiden's body.
Julia Mills manages once again to blend the two worlds together beautifully and has created characters that are likeable and remarkable. Grace's intuitive nature stands her in good stead and means that she senses trouble and liars. Grace trusts Aiden implicitly and quickly, going completely against her suspicious nature when it comes to matters of the heart. The descriptions of the intense moments between Grace and Aiden draw you in through the beautiful writing. Equally, the story has lots of action and twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat and biting your fingernails in anticipation.
I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the clan discover their mates and seeing how the ongoing story develops as the series progresses.

Her Dragon's Fire had the potential to have gotten a 4 star rating review from me. The story in itself was good with likeable H/H and decent amount of Actions and a nice Sexy, Sensual Romance between Aiden O'Brien a member of the Elite Dragon Guard and the beautiful intelligent Attorney Grace Kensington who is also, best friends with the Heroine Kyndel from bk.1 Her Dragon to Slay.

After a long hard late night's work at her office Grace decides to go stay at her best friends home which is closer to her job. Aiden is staying at Kyndel's home, she has married his commander of the dragon guard and they are looking for Aiden's traitor brother Andrew. Andrew got away from them in bk 1 and of course he gets away from them in this story bk2. After an enjoyable but cookie cutter story we are left with a Cliffhanger again. It was not to bad in bk1 because it was free from Amazon and I got bk2 for just 99 cents so that wasn't bad. However I will not be buying bk3 because any author worth there salt can end a book that's a part of a series without a Cliffhanger.

Once again, it's 'fan-girl' time. LOVED it! I want to dance around in circles in the street yelling "You have to read this story!"

I've always liked dragons...a LOT, but Julia has taken the idea of dragon shifters and run with it. This story is even better than the first one and I didn't think that was possible but apparently it is. Because she did it!

The heroine is really dumped into the deep end in this story. And not only does she swim, she rises to the occasion showing grace and intelligence under extreme pressure and danger. Julia writes heroines who are strong and intelligent and even though they have insecurities brought on by our society, they don't whine about it, they just get on with whatever needs to be taken care of.

The heroes, ah the men in these stories. They are truly drool worthy. I seriously can...not...wait to read the story of each of these men! Our hero in this story has been through a harrowing time in his life that he is meeting with honor, perseverance and courage. He is a true match for the heroine and I love how they interact with each other.

The dragons rock all kinds of a**! Julia has a lyrical way of describing these riveting, gorgeous creatures and I like how the men and dragons compliment each other. In short, I highly recommend these stories to anyone. I recommend reading the first story before this one, but it is a stand alone book and while the main story line will obviously be continuing into the next book, this one has a satisfactory ending I was very pleased with.

I am waiting on pins and needles for the next book to come out. I'm so glad I found these books!

So this is the second book in the Dragon Guards series and it follows on after the first although it can be read as a stand-alone.

I like this series as I am a hopeless romantic so the idea that the perfect mate is destined by the Universe gives me tingles. However, I am not getting tingles over the repetition of being told constantly that the Universe is perfect, or what colour someone's eyes are, or the colour of their lips. I know that books need to be descriptive, I get that, I really do. But while I could overlook the repetition in the first book, it was harder to do so with this one which is a shame because I thought in many ways this book built on what the first book had created. The dragon world sounds wonderful and I would be quite happy to lose myself there again.

Aiden is alpha male through and through and Grace is secure enough in her own person to take him on and stand up to him as need be. They really do make the perfect couple and I'm glad that Kyndel has her best-friend back too.

The story that started with Andrew in book 1 continues here and gets more in depth. One of the things I loved was when Grace and Andrew were talking and she gave him what-for. That was excellent for me as I'd been thinking the same thing since he came back.

One of the other things that I love about these books is that you hear what each colour dragon stands for. It is details like this that I want to hear!

On the whole, a wonderful book that continues with the story. I will be carrying on with this series.

Thanks to Wicked Reads for a free copy in exchange for a review.
I like to start by saying the cover and title didn't do much for me, but the synopsis did. Dragon shifter books are a very small genre so it's a treat when you find one. This book stayed well within the genre, and was well written. Again though I found this book could have easily been five stars but the insecurities won't allow me to rate it a five star. I feel as though Grace's body identity was insecure and the author had insecurities on the fact that these two could fall so easily for each other. Lots of authors who write paranormal guide people through the mating process but the feel of insecurity that the main characters display pull it from an excellent rating. The males expressed in this book didn't quite display any alpha behavior which allows me to find the chemistry more attractive, in fact they do a lot of bickering before getting on their Harley's. Lol. Then the joke about sigma chi and a red towel went totally over my head.... I mean why would they all wash their underwear at once. The storyline itself was really great, I liked the dual story, prosecuted going after the auctioneer, and Aidan looking for his brother. There isn't really a lot of world building going on, just action and sex scenes. Overall entertainment value.....four stars.

Where to start with this one. I was lucky enough to beta read this and even though it is very late, Julia i hope still loves me. That being said, I absolutely loved it! I think I liked it a little more than Her Dragon To Slay only because I felt more of a connection with Aidan and Grace for some reason that I haven't figured out yet. I thought that it was well written and put together. I didn't want to put it down at all, but unfortunately, life happens as miss Julia has said to me. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it was a tad repetitive, but not so much that it took away from the story. I don't put spoilers, so I will say that I was very emotional towards the end which I'm sure you will all know what I'm talking about when you get there. Aidan is adorable and Grace is a force to be reckon with and that makes a perfect union for them. I cannot wait to read Haunted by her Dragon when that comes out. I would recommend Her Dragon's Fire to any and everyone. Thank you Julia for entrusting this to me to be beta read even though I am just now finished with it. Great work!

Great book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.
Julia Mills hit it out of the park with Her Dragon's Fire. This is the second installment of her Dragon Guard series. This book had most of the same characters as Her Dragon to Slay, but is centered around Grace and Aiden's story.
Grace is an independent lawyer who has been burned by her past relationships.She is very skeptical until Aiden rescues her one night. Aiden is the strong tough guy type except when it comes to his mate. Both unique in their own ways, they will have to overcome certain milestones along the way. Conflict arises and they will be tested and will prove that love conquers all when it comes to your mate.
It was a great second book, and I can't wait to see what happens next with this unique and extraordinary group. Definitely a must read the series just keeps getting better.

This is the second book in the Dragon Guard series & it was just as fantastic as the first. I am truly loving Julia Lake Mills’ imagination.

Grace is our female lead in this book & she is a lawyer, very strong willed & very smart. Aiden is her fated mate & he is such a perfect mate for Grace. He is strong but understands that Grace needs to do some things her way.

In the first book in this series we learned about Andrew, Aiden’s’ younger brother. He was captured many years ago by a coven of nasty wizards & blamed his capture & subsequent torture on his brother. He, of course, is out for revenge against his brother & the rest of the Dragon Guard. To do this he will use any & all means available, including the hated Wizards’, the hunters’, & even human criminals. And so the story continues…

These books are very hot, most definitely for the over 18 crowd. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series, Haunted by her Dragon.

Steamier and naughtier than the first book. Aidan that boy always has his thoughts in the gutter when it comes to Grace, "yea, we do," he chuckled. "Pizza would be great!" Now if he could keep his mind, as well as, other parts focused on eating pizza and not on the irresistible woman on the other side of the door everything would be great." I mean the boy is just a beast, "Aidan barely kept his composure on the way to the kitchen, walking with an erection hard enough to pound nails was difficult to say the least but when he had scented Grace's arousal it took all of his considerable control to not fall on her luscious body and give them both the release they wanted and needed." I mean the boy enjoys some yummy parts on Grace, "his hands slid under the cheeks of her a**. He lifted her as he backed her against a nearby tree." I can't wait to see whose up next for a book.
