Rax's job is to find out people's secrets. Liz has too many secrets to count. When their paths cross in pursuit of their separate goals, can they move past their secrets and distrust to pursue what they both need most?

Rax
When I first meet Liz, I can’t stand her. She's rude. Arrogant. High handed. And exactly like me. We clash in every way imaginable.

And yet ...

I can't get her out of my head.

When I find out she's bonded to another, I tell myself I need to leave her alone, but for some reason, I just can't stay away ...

Liz
The two most important men in my life are missing. And I need Rax to help me find them.

While we didn't get along at first, he's my best chance to find my step-brother—if he's even still alive. He doesn't realize I need to find my dragon as well. Or why.

The longer we work together, the more our attraction becomes undeniable. Except my loyalties are supposed to lie elsewhere.

How do I choose between duty and desire?

Will Liz and Rax be able to overcome their secrets and lies to find a way to be together? Or will duty and deception tear them apart forever?

In this book, we get Rax's story and find out more about Lizbeth and Kinto.

Rax is a demigod who has been living and working in the human world for many years. He is in a group that works to keep the presence of supernaturals in this world a secret by cleaning up messes. Rax has worked to refine little devices to make the group's job easier. (One he calls "Mr. Jumper" as it always takes him and anyone he is touching to a specific alley where the group can have a "private" conversation with a miscreant.) The group has been trying to find out who is trafficking in supernaturals but keeps hitting dead ends. When they finally catch a break, it sends Rax back to a place he didn't want to return to - the demi world.

Rax was once known as Raxirim of the Great Tribes, before he had to flee to the human realm. All his old home holds is danger and bad memories. He can't even get there on his own anymore. Which is how he ends up owing a favor to Rufus and thus showing up to "protect" Rufus and Daniel's sister Lizbeth from whatever she and Kinto are up to. Needless to say, Lizbeth doesn't know why he is really there but she doesn't want him following them around.

I am not going to ruin the story for you. It is a good one with lots of action and even some romance (of course). If you have been reading the series you will love this one. If you are just joining in you should go back and start at the beginning, but I think you can follow along without reading the other books first. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Rax, a Demigod, fled to our world to escape his family when they tried to kill him, in the process he lost his dragon leaving a huge hole in his heart, he tells everyone that he cannot feel any feelings. Now, he trades favors, as he patrols. For a while he and his team have been trying to catch all those involved in the trade of selling supernaturals’. One of those favors is for Rufus and in return he wants Rax to find and keep safe his sister Lizbeth.
Lizbeth and her dragon Kinto have their own agenda and having Rax along was not on the cards. Eventually, he persuades them to let him accompany them and they set off into danger, neither trusting the other but having to join forces to survive the threats that keep coming for them. Along the way distrust starts to change to trust but has a few bumps along the way.
As I read each book in this series, I get a better feel for how the Demigods world is: a wonderful, dangers world full of creatures that shouldn’t be but not all they seem. This is such a great adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed going along for the ride. I can’t wait for the next instalment!

What an amazing story with all its twists and turns! I found the author's vivid imagination and imagery throughout the book quite exciting.

Though originally, I wasn't sure if I could fully commit to Rax and Liz's adversarial characters in the story, I became enamored with both as the story progressed. It was interesting to see the unfolding of their backgrounds that caused them to act out in certain situations creating the tension between them and others.

The authors setup of complex characters is one of her strong writing skills. In fact, there are quite a few secondary characters in this book series that are extremely interesting, and I'd like to learn more about them as well.

There is a mystery that runs throughout this book that intrigued me. It will keep the reader enthralled till the last page. Some parts of the story get solved and others are left for the reader to wonder about. This still allows the reader a clean ending and a hope for another book.

FIRE KING is another Enemies to Lovers Paranormal Romance by J.S. Striker and it is the fourth installment in the Dragons & Demis series. You will find lots of action and romance in this story.

Rax is a demi god whose past is shaded in pain and misery. Stripped of most of his powers, he has escaped to the human world so he could live away from his dying world and remaining demi gods.

Lizbeth and her dragon are on their own mission to save their world. Rax's arrival is not welcome and she would rather he left her alone. Better yet, return to earth and let her get on with her work.

I enjoyed the chemistry and bond between these future mates, their adventures through their devastated world and the strange beings they find along the way.

A thrilling walk on the wild side

Lizbeth, demigoddess with the ability to control anyone with her voice, is tracked down by Rax, demigod mind reader in hiding, at the request of her brother. As the story progresses the true meaning behind their quests come forward, betrayal is close at hand, and loss becomes a familiar companion as they battle evil. J.S. Striker’ Fire King is a thrilling walk on the wild side of her Dragons and Demis series. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series Dragon’s Demon. I look forward to the rest of the dragon siblings’ journeys and seeing what happens with Gabriel.

" I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. "

It took me a while to get into the story with no fault from the author but mostly because I am starting with book four. Once I got the hang of it, I found it to be captivating and holding my breath for what will happen next. I have to say that I have a lot of catching to do.

Rax is a very intriguing characters. He and Liz are so perfectly funny and complicated. Their story is just an easy road and some serious blocks. Their journey crosses so many paths and has them interacting with interesting characters from earlier in the series. Very entertaining!

Convoluted

Exciting if not long and seems jumpy and it lacks a smooth flow. However the story line is well thought out and very engaging.
