Search - Kiss of Fire (Dragonfire, Bk 1)

In this book, Deborah Cooke kicks off her pretty awesome Dragonfyre series. I picked up the second book first and fell instantly in love. I then read the third book and then the first book. Simply because that was the order I found them in.

I tell you what though, if I had read this book first, Kiss of Fire, I would've stopped right there. It sets up the story for an epic battle between good and evil, but lacks spark, for better terms. You need to read it to understand the entire back story of the Pyr and their enemies, but its not necessary. Its a slow read. Leisurely. But the passion between the characters is dim at best compared to the next two books.

I really tried but the writing is....just not that interesting...The premise is good and the characters could be interesting but they are pretty one dimensional.

I found Kiss of Fire boring and the characters juvenile.

For a hero...Quinn too often messes up in protecting Sara. Quinn knows his duty and desire is to protect Sara, yet he accepts a challenge from another dragon leaving Sara vulnerable. And that's not the only example of the hero being a non-hero and non-dragonish.

But I will give the second DragonFire Novel a try; my hope is that the series will improve because I do love dragon fiction.

Good book. Neat new story line.

Deborah Cooke is a new author for me. Was interesting and will look for more at my library

I have always loved books about dragons and this one really delivers!! Quinn is a Pyr - a good dragon who is also the Smith. The Smith is a dragon who works with metals and can do just about anything with them like a blacksmith. Quinn saves Sara from an attack in which she sees Quinn as a dragon but passes out....when she awakes Quinn is in his human form and she thinks she was imagining things! One thing is for sure...Quinn knows Sara is his destined Mate.
The book grabbed me in almost from the start and had several twists and turns...there is some Romance, some dragon fighting and a whole lotta good reading! I highly recommend this book!
