Delaney was captured by Magnus and while held captive he was forced to drink the Dragon's Blood.

Because he is mostly good he did not become a Slayer, but his blood turned Black like theirs and Magnus had placed some hidden commands in his mind under hypnosis. He was able to overcome the commands but had to seperate from his brother Pyr. The story catches you from the first page because Delaney has decided to face Magnus and kill him as well as destroy the Dragon's Blood.

This is the only thing that got me, how will one Pyr defeat all of the Slayers to get to the Dragon's Blood. So we know he will die if he tries, but we get the idea he doesn't really care anymore. Suddenly a partial lunar eclipse happens and his firestorm ignites.

Ginger is a treat, I really like how spunky she is. I like her reslove not to have a child that will have to do without one parent. She meets Delaney and both are swept away by the heat. After one night Delaney leaves her and heads out to fight Magnus. Ginger follows and because of her Delaney has to change his plans and rescue her from the Slayers. As Ginger learns about the Pyr she tries to convince him that what they have is worth keeping. Meanwhile the other Pyr are arriving at his firestorm to protect him and his mate.

Delaney is overwhelmed that they still consider him one of them. Meanwhile Rafferty and Sloan are convinced that there is more to Delaney's desire to face Magnus than is known. After finding Ginger, why is he still determined to fight Magnus, "alone". The firestorm has turned his blood red again. I enjoyed the book and will look forward to the next. If you are following the series this is one of the best. Okay, can't tell you what's going to happen, all I can say is this, if this is the first book you're going to read, or if this is the first book you've read, STOP!!

And start from book 1, it's a must.

The Dragonfire Series are intertwined, all characters flow from book to book, though the main character shines in each book, they all make their presence known through out the series. And the story lines are phenomenal. Oh, do you like dairy cows??? What do dragons and dairy cows have in common?? It's a love match! It's going to kill you to find out what's up. To be honest, I was expecting a good but mediocre read. The three big eclipses are past. Delaney has been a minor character so far. Usually that's a recipe for cardboard characters and no plot. The story caught me from the start and held on tight.

The characters are well rounded, the plot well crafted and riveting. No cardboard and cheese here. As a reader who's sick to death of vampires and demons, dragons are a nice change and Cooke has created a batch I love. And after the sneak peek of the next book, I'm waiting impatiently for that one to come out, too.

Deborah Cooke has earned another devoted fan. I loved these characters- Delaney and Ginger are the perfect match. I adore this entire series! All kinds of dragons from all over the world. The covers for the novels are good too. I like male models on romance covers without revealing their faces so I can imagine what they look like myself.

P I'd recommend this series to all lovers of shifter romances and especially dragon shifters! View all 8 comments. I still don't understand what the firestorm thingie is supposed to be and the fighting scenes had me reading twice. I'll def try book 2: A world of shape-shifting dragon warriors. A self-reliant loner blacksmith. A bookstore-owner ace accountant.

A fated meeting that can change the course of destiny. Furthermore, with the second book besides it, Kiss of Fury, it guarantees me the chance to read the next one if I like the first. Kiss of Fire is about Sara Keegan, A world of shape-shifting dragon warriors. Kiss of Fire is about Sara Keegan, an ace accountant who now runs a New Age bookstore she inherited from her recently deceased aunt.

After nearly killed by a mysterious stranger, she was saved by what she thought was a dragon. Truth be told, it was Quinn Tyrell, a Pyr, a race of beings that can shape-shift into dragons. He is also the Smith with power over metals, and according to prophecy Sara, unknown to her is the Seer. Meanwhile, Quinn has to confront his own misconceptions of his past, learn to trust and work with his fellow Pyr, and follow what his heart wants. I enjoyed the book. There is almost a childlike quality to the words, that makes the story just flow.

What I love most is her descriptions of the dragons, most especially the focus on their colors. The fight scenes among the Pyr was also well done, and I can actually close my eyes and see them battling in the skies. I also like the hero and the heroine, although the attraction between them seem to happen just too fast.

I guess, the fated element is in play here, so there is not much struggling on their part on being together. There is also the introduction of the other Pyrs who obviously will be playing lead roles in the next books I assume. Overall, I would recommend this book with some reservation. Some readers might find the romance a little too simplistic, but for a quick, light read with some magic and fantasy meld in, Kiss of Fire is not a bad choice.

Aiken and Katie MacAlister's dragon series. Turns out I have a thing for dragons. That landed me with Deborah Cooke and the Dragonfire novels. I really liked it too. The first few chapters were a little hard to process. A lot of characters are thrown into the mix right at the start and not in an easy way. The hardest part for me were the fight scenes early on where there were so many dragons on the good guy Pyr and bad guy Slayers sides. Cooke used dragon colors to distinguish between all the different dragons and it made my head spin since every dragon had a different coloring.

I decided to just go with it and read through those parts and not worry too much about matching dragons up with sides. After that it was much easier to get into the story. I liked the twist on dragons that they were earths protectors and gifted with the four elements fire, earth, wind, water. That the Pyr were protectors of earth's treasures including humans while the Slayers were rogue dragons out to eliminate both the Pyr and humans.

Quinn Tyrrell and Sara Keegan were a sweet couple. They were easy together which was a nice change from so many series where the couple is always bickering or butting heads. Right from the start they fell into an easy banter and I couldn't help but smile along with them. It really felt like they had known each other for quite some time instead of just a handful of days.

Even when they argued it was kind of sweet in an odd sort of way. They just felt right together which was a good thing since they were destined mates. I thought it was a nice start to the series and enjoyed the plot of Sara and Quinn coming together to fulfill a prophecy and saving the Pyr. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the next book in the series and getting to know some of the secondary characters a bit better. Naturally they are instantly drawn to each other.

He is charming, sexy, single minded, protective and lethal from their first meeting as he downs the foes that are trying to stop his destined mating firestorm with Sara. I wanted to love this read, but in the end felt it was only slightly above average with likable characters and enough information to fan desire for a second outing.

Being a series foundation story a lot of exposition had to be given and it was done reasonably well by having the heroine delve into myths and writings to gain an understanding of what was happening to and around her. The action scenes were fun and came when they were most needed giving our intrepid hero an opportunity to bond, flex and fly. The secondary characters were mostly enjoyable and somewhat fleshed — but there were a couple that went no where. I really enjoyed the growth arc for Quinn and it also opened the door to expand the series and universe.

I liked the climax with the villain but thought it was too talky and a tad telegraphed. Plus some of the exposition pieces were overlong and allowed my mind to wander. I also thought she accepted this new world and the happenings too readily for it to ring true to her character. Another nit in need of picking was the story could have been tighter and better executed which may have eliminated or reduced my dissatisfaction.. I think this could be a satisfying beach or waiting room read, there was enough to keep this reader going but not so much to the exclusion of all else.

Well, I guess I should start by saying that I knew right from the start that this book was supposedly mediocre. There is no supposedly about it. This is mediocre, but I really wanted to like it. It had a good idea. Quinn was cute, Sarah was alright. The idea of shape shifting dragons got me really excited, but this was just not put together right. Which was a huge shame. One thing that bothered me in a huge way was that I was never sure what size the dragons were.

I started this book with the id Well, I guess I should start by saying that I knew right from the start that this book was supposedly mediocre. I started this book with the idea that the dragons would be big beasties, but then I started to get the impression that they were the size of bats? Did I miss something because I don't think Deborah Cooke explained their size. Also I understand that the dragons can beguile humans, but to my understanding they have to be staring a human in the eye, so the hastily explained brush off that the dragons had beguiled all the humans while they had their airborne firebreathing rumble in the sky did not wash.

Please, Madame authoress, don't assume your readers are stupid. Also Sarah and Quinn's first meetings left me seriously annoyed.

I can understand anyone not believing in the existence of dragons, but can you still refuse to believe when one is staring you in the face? Because now you're the crazy one if you keep refusing to believe. Plus the firestorm thing left me feeling confused and letdown. What I thought would be a fiery and passionate joining was pretty lackluster and as close to a "fade to black" scene as could get.

Did it mean death when the firestorm dies out? Can it happen more then once? Just sitting here thinking about this book is making me more confused and mad and that is not a good place to be after finishing a book. Such a crying shame because I really wanted to like this book. Call me a glutton for punishment or a hopeless optimist but I have great hopes for the second book, Kiss of Fury, so I am willing to try again. View all 4 comments. I never got around to writing a review, but I found this list lurking in my drafts, so I'm just going to leave it at that. So I guess that's a bit of a con as well.

I liked her and hope she gets her own book. She sounds good on paper, but I always found her somewhat off.

Like there's something not quite right. One thing I found odd was no mention of friends. Not even a "I was such a workaholic as a jet-setting accountant that I never had time for friends" throwaway line. Her past was glossed over so whatever Sara either mentioned or thought had no emotional impact. It was all weird. I just never felt she was real so could never emphasize or care much about her. In some ways she was perfect and I can't even recall one flaw.

Kiss of Fire (The Dragonfire Novels, #1) by Deborah Cooke

She always had the solution to a problem and was the one that pointed out the obvious, leaving everyone around her amazed at her insight seriously. It's rather annoying really. Sometimes it seemed to be a mating call type of thing, than at others, more like an event. Maybe it's both, I'm unsure. I'm not so interested in book two's dragon-shifter Donovan, but Erik, Rafferty, Niall are all promising characters.

Besides, Niall's dragonform colors are amethyst and platinum, which are so my colors Yes, I really am that shallow. View all 7 comments. Nice introduction to a very original series. While I have read series about Dragon shifters already, I have never read a whole series about them. There are not many Pyr dragon shifters in the world, only about a dozen, and half of them have decided to turn evil. These destructive beings call themselves the Slayers. They just wanna kill every living Pyr on Earth so killing humans will be even easier, but mostly they just wanna take their race to their 'rightful' place.

While I did find the Pyr i Nice introduction to a very original series.



While I did find the Pyr idea original, I felt the way the plot was described completely tainted it. The good guys against the bad ones, the bad guys trying to rule the world, the huge attraction between the main characters and the way they were not sure if they could survive and make their relationship work So while it had something that made it a bit more interesting that others I've read, it was still more of the same IMHO.

It did have some elements that could make things much more interesting though, if the author decides to exploit them. I really hope she does, because I can see that this series has potential. Also as most first books in a series, too much information was given at the same time and not correctly explained, which I hated because it's always so interesting to read every detail about new worlds.

That's what I like the most about this genre. So let's hope next book explains things better and in a slower and more detailed way. The characters reactions started being unrealistic and I lost the connection to some of the characters and story. It is not that I didn't understand the happenings with the story, only that the timing of the battle, the reasoning, the banter during battle, the non-nonchalant attitude, just made me lose the feel for the story.

It was a bit obvious who the bad dragons were and who the good dragons were but really the story is more the main two characters. Things just didn't flow in the end. OK after the save, shouldn't the Wyvern be moved? Then they are back and instead of killing her, Ambrose plays with her. Then, after killing Ambrose, how does that make the seer any safer, the slayers are still out there?

Yet Sara is traveling alone to the cabin at the end. So to go up to 4 or drop it down? I will read the next in the series, the storyline and side characters make me want to see what will happen next, so for a first in a series, that'll bump it up A great first-in-series dragon book.

Not over the top outstanding but still very, very good. Quinn Tyrell is the legendary "Smith" ie blackmith to the dragons. He is orphaned when he is 4 and doesn't grow up surrounded by dragons or dragon-lore. He feels alone and outcast and very distrustful of all dragons. Sara Keegan, human, accountant, new-age bookshop owner is the Smith's fated mate.

See a Problem?

She is also The Seer, although she doesn't believe she has a psychic bone in her body. Quinn is of the Pyr - A great first-in-series dragon book. Quinn is of the Pyr - the good dragons and of course, therefore there must be bad dragons - the Slayers. The Slayers wish to destroy the Pyr so that they can destroy humanity. One problem I see with that, that isn't addressed in the book, is that if all the humans are destroyed who will they breed with.

There is only 1 female Pyr, the Wyvern, who issues prophecies. She also can't mate with her fellow Pyr. So in effect they will be wiping themselves out. Still, I enjoyed this book and am looking to the next one. Did I love it? Incredible world, witty characters, humor, danger, intriguing plot, action, and The book was so fantastic that I couldn't help but share a couple snippets of this one! And yes, this is exactly why I couldn't put this book down! She was fussy like that. Quinn's Did I love it?
