Dragon Fury: Reign of Fire Book 3

You cannot escape your fate, especially when dragons are involved.

Wonderful ending to the series. Cooper and Raine are a great couple. I really enjoyed watching them grow closer together.
Reluctant Retiree

Raine has not one but two dragons hunting her. The spirit of an ancient dragon queen who wants to join with her and a bossy male dragon shifter who thinks she is his fated mate.

Cooper is the leader of the Ice Dragons. As he has waited for his mate to appear he has become cold and distant. Watching his friends meet and join with their mates he knows she is coming back soon. This time he will do what is necessary to keep her safe.

Before Raine arrived in Alaska looking to expand her wilderness business she does not know dragons existed. Her sexy and surly bush pilot is none other than Cooper. He recognizes her as his fated mate. When she and Cooper meet sparks fly but not the good kind.

The Cherufe are on the rise again. A battle is coming that can only be won by Raine allowing the dragon queen to join with her.

Can Cooper find his humanity and Raine accept her drakaina in time to lead the fight to put the Cherufe away for good?

The story is the third and final in the Reign of Fire trilogy. I think that it is, by far, my favorite of the three, maybe because I really like Raine and how she handled herself. Cooper and Raine have a huge difference of opinion and just clash from the beginning. The way he ‘tries’ to handle her only makes her angrier. Cooper McKinley has no finesse when talking to Raine, and it only irritates her.

Raine has felt lost since Aria and Eden fell in love. She travels to Alaska to consult with the town of Glacier about bringing Wildworks there to offer upscale guide services. Talking on the phone with Theo was promising but meeting the pilot in Fairbanks and being taken to the town, she isn’t so sure. Then to have Cooper dictate to her, telling Theo to take her phone and computer, makes her extremely upset. Enough that she plans to hike to another town.

The story has plenty of mystery, suspense, secrets, and surprises. Aria’s grandmother used to tell these stories about the Cherufe, but now she is hearing voices. But once she joins with Zafira and becomes a drakaina, she learns that Cooper believes her to be his eternal flame and fated mate. Not that she is willing to accept it.

“We will be one. Your destiny awaits you in the frozen north. Denali and the Ice Dragons need you to defeat the Cherufe.”

Cooper: You are my fated mate.
Raine: Which seems to mean everything to you. The answer to all questions. And yet, it means nothing to me. Nothing.
Cooper: Shift now and return to Glacier at my side, or I will take you there by force.
Raine: Such a charming invitation, and yet I feel compelled to refuse. Here’s the deal McKinley—if I am your fated mate, you won’t do anything to really harm me. But I despise you and refuse to be shackled to you in any way, shape, or form, which means I will do whatever is necessary to claw my way to freedom.
Cooper: Then you are settled in your mind.
Raine: Yes. I will not be carted off by some neanderthal dragon lord who thinks he can impose his will on me.
Cooper: That is where you are wrong. I am Alpha to the Ice Dragons and you’re my queen. You will submit to my will and my authority or else pay the consequences.
Raine: You lay a hand on me, and you’d better never close your eyes again.
Cooper: Then we are agreed. I will make you rue the day you threw your gauntlet at my feet.

The story is a page-turner and full of angst between Cooper and Raine. She doesn’t capitulate to his demands—or wishes and shows she can hold her own. Her hurt with her friends will be mended and they will help her. The future is in her hands, Zafira has shared insight into the past and what must happen in the future. Getting Cooper to trust her, her training, and her skills, and allowing her to be part of eliminating the Cherufe is critical.

“The man can kiss. But he doesn’t just get to walk into my life and say, ‘me dragon; you drakaina; you mine,’ and expect me to be okay with that.”

am going to be honest here. Raine was a difficult pill to swallow. I am used to the female main characters in Delta James' books being strong, intelligent, and independent. I am used them not easily giving in the the H's dominance. I am used to them using that strength and intelligence to get out of various situations.

What I am not used to is Raine's behavior. She was acting almost completely from a place of emotion, or I should say she was reacting. I am not saying Cooper was in the right here at all. He could have handled the situation better. I don't know that he deserved the physical assault she visited on him.

What bothered me is she gave no thought to her behavior, was not acting based on trying to find out any information that might be helpful, did not pause long enough to use her intelligence or try to be calculating in getting herself out of the situation. She was just a sheer ball of anger lashing out at anyone in her way.

Her being a red head was no excuse for her behavior. Not what she did to the Ice Dragon village or what she did to where Phantom Fire lived. Raine was just obnoxious.

It was hard to overcome my dislike of her until after she and Falkor were together. I still didn't like her, but I was able to lessen my dislike of her. Her behavior took away from the possible relationship with Cooper and diminished any romantic vibe. I don't feel like they were together enough to even try to establish a relationship.

The best part of the book was the training and the battle. I am looking forward to finding out more about Falkor. I would give this one 3.5 stars.

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2022
The story is the second in the trilogy of Reign of Fire and picks up with Eden Sommersby’s wedding to Corbin Pontius. Things aren’t as they seem, and nothing is going right for her wedding. When Ridley Monroe arrives early for the wedding with support from his clan, he realizes that Corbin and his minions have nefarious plans. Helping Eden rescue herself from a terrible fate, a called-off wedding, and discovering his fated mate comes with fulfilling obligations before pleasure. Convincing Eden that she is his fated mate won’t be easy—she feels he has ghosted her. She is hurt and angry, and these two must reconnect, where Ridley shows his dominance and Eden submits to him. The Cherufe intends to rise again, and it will take the heart of a drakania queen and dominant dragon to win this battle.

“I believe in the saying that those who don’t know and understand their history are doomed to repeat it.”

“Our love will burn with an eternal fire and we will soar the heavens together, for that is our destiny.”

Sarlay: She is yours, but she is mine as well.
Ridley: And who might you be?
Sarlay: I am she who once ruled here and who followed my sisters into the Rift. We believed we had defeated them, but we were wrong. The Cherufe mean to rise again and this time they must be defeated for all time.
Ridley: You are Sarlay?
Sarlay: I am she who will join with your eternal fire. Best you take care how you try to claim me.

Sarlay: We shall be one. You are not afraid.
Eden: Should I be?
Sarlay: No. Your courage was part of what drew me to you. When the time is right, and I am needed, call to me and we shall be one.
Eden: Who are you? And what is that thing you keep fighting?
Sarlay: I am the spirit of Sarlay, and the battle with the beast you have seen was a long, long time ago. We thought we had defeated the Cherufe, but we only forced them to retreat. One has risen and was defeated by Cessene and her mate. Two more will rise. The destruction of one will be up to you and your mate.
Eden: In case you missed it—I am currently single and have neither prospects nor plans for that to change.
Sarlay: Do not fear. He is coming for you.

The story’s plot will have Eden and Ridley reconnecting, but she is angry at him. She isn’t upset about the marriage between Corbin ending, but she feels Ridley has ghosted her. It will be challenging for these two strong-willed souls to find their path together. She may have been dreaming of Ridley, but that doesn’t mean she is ready to forgive and accept him and his dominance.

“Give over to me, Eden. I am your fated mate, and we will be as one.”

The story is a paranormal battle of good and evil—and not all dragons will fall in the good category. A strong evil force wants to destroy the dragons and humans and reign on earth. The past and present will collide, and Ridley must trust Eden/Sarlay to be part of the battle. Together, they must defeat the Cherufe as a team.

I love the angst, passion, and chemistry of Ridley and Eden. She has dreamed of him, of them, and of him being a dragon and a man—and her dreams were erotic. She also heard voices, with warnings, and it didn’t frighten her, nor did it have her accepting it. Either she was going crazy, or things were going to happen, and soon—she could feel it.

Ridley: You’re mine Eden. Now and forever. You belong to me, and I belong to you.
Eden: You know what they say, while dragons plan, drakaina laugh.

While this story doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, and we know who the following two main characters will be—we are given a tiny glimpse into their past, and the story will be their future. That will be the story of Cooper McKinley and Raine.

This is a captivating, well written second book in series a thoroughly enjoyable read
I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the previous first book in this series and I have to say that I was not at all disappointed in this the second book in the same series. The attention to the characters details and back story was diligent as always with this author and it is always a pleasure to familiarise yourself with them as the story unfold.
Eden Sommersby A successful and well-respected business owner is set to marry but it is soon apparent to her that the man is not as he appears and this is when she had called in the assistance of Ridley Monroe. She is a wary female that is not drawn in by a male’s ego or good looks and she values the worth of what a person does rather that his new worth or how much he claims to be worth.
He is drawn to the man in a way she does not really understand and as she surprised to find that in fact, he is her Fated Mate and that for him there would never be another and this is an extremely important fact.
I thoroughly enjoyed the read and am sure that others like me will find that once you begin reading it is impossible to put this book down.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

Dragon Storm: Reign of Fire Book 1

The world building is to die for. These are people who choose not to live among us but easily could. The tie back to Masters of Valor is there, but this story stands on its own. It didn’t take long for me to be totally drawn into the story. I really didn’t want to leave it!
The Reluctant Retiree

You cannot escape your fate. Especially when it involves a dragon who claims to be your fated mate.

Aria’s visions of something old, powerful, and angry coming combined with her seriously sexy dream sharing with a dragon shifter have confused her. Her visions have proven true too often to ignore. But dragon shifters can’t be true. Right? When a dragon lands in front of her while hiking, her whole world shifts. He is the dragon from her dreams and is claiming, she is his fated mate.

Darius has just accepted leadership of his clan and is headed home when he sees a human female. She is trekking up the side of a mountain and he realizes she’s his fated mate. What’s a dragon to do? Simple, fly down, pick her up, and take her home. Once there, he discovers that there is more to Aria than meets the eye. She is the key to beating the evil that is coming.

Can the fated couple survive the coming storm and embrace a future together?

Darius and Aria are the perfect couple…after all who can say no to a dragon…but then again, Aria is no pushover! This started off a bit slow which is understandable as the author needed to develop the method behind the storyline, and then it takes off and continues to sizzle the pages of your kindle. Looking forward to what comes next!

This series spins off from Masters of Valor where Darius is introduced when Gillian is kidnapped and brought back to her clan of origin. Ford followed and defeated the Alpha but declined to assume clan leadership which allowed Darius to be chosen as Alpha.

Aria is a talented outdoor guide who has been having visions/nightmares and premonitions of an approaching evil. She is also having incredibly hot dreams of a sexy dragon who claims her as his mate. These bonding dreams are intense. When Darius lands in front of her in dragon form and then shifts into a human male, Aria id both highly aroused and scared. Darius claims her to be his and flys off with her to his hidden village.

Aria’s dreams didn’t prepare her for the bossy attitude and determination Darius would have to have her obey him or for her to suffer the consequences of his discipline. These two battle for dominance and then give in to the scorching hot attraction between them.

Darius is determined Aria is going to be a well behaved drakaina and to set a good example for the clan’s other drakaina. He is equally determined to keep her safe and away from the dangerous fight with evil that is imminent.

I thoroughly enjoyed this new series and am excited to see how Aria’s two best friends will fold into the future books and the dragons vs evil storyline. Initially it took me several chapters to get comfortable with the storyline and all the new characters since Gillian and Ford are mentioned but don’t actually appear as part of the story. There was also a significant amount of mythology to absorb that will be an underlying plot throughout this series.
