At best I would round Heart of Fire to a 3 ½ star and it has nothing to do with the writer either because I've read her work before but I wasn't taken by this one and it kinda fell short for me personally.

Let's talk about the characters, I wasn't impressed by either Gerilynn or her mates and maybe that's because for me the story was too fast-paced and I think it has the potential of being more had it slowed down a bit because I didn't get the chance to learn more about Gerilynn and her mates beside them being the very cliche mates destined to be together for life. Again, this is no fault of the author but that of a reader who tends to be a tad more critical of stories like this one.

The intimacy was lacking too, but that was due to my own expectations of having three sexy dragons at your disposal. I thought there would be a burst of excitement and saucy teasing but it went by with a breeze. The unexpected betrayal as well I thought could've been elaborated more for me to understand the power struggle and the dragon's way of life.

Gerilynn’s kidnapping though abrupt was slightly entertaining and I enjoyed that a bit as well. I could go on but like I said the story was just too fast-paced for me to thoroughly appreciate it and even so I would still recommend it because it has quality.

Lovely short sci-fi shifter romance.

She crashes on a planet where she must choose three mates to save her life. As she looks at the first dragon she isn't sure how it will work.

This was a really sweet short story Gerilynn is falling to the plant in her escape pod when a golden dragon helps her to land on the plant. But now she must choose three mates but she is unsure how it will work with her being human and them being dragons. But she is in for a very nice surprise. I loved this short story but and I love dragons.

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and could not put it down. I proceeded to finish it in one sitting. It moves along at a great pace which makes for an enjoyable read. The characters are awesome and you want to know more about them and no matter what you want to see them overcome whatever may get in their way. This book has to be on your list for 2020, there is no doubt about it.

I love this short sci fi romance. Crashion on a planet is not on the to do list of Gerilynn. Now finding herself on a strange planet she needs help but can she trust the creatures? And what's this about choosing a mate?
