Fire Me Up (Aisling Grey, Guardian, Bk 2) Author:Katie MacAlister
Book Description:
I'm Aisling Grey, and apparently I'm irresistible...
Being quite the novice Guardian/Keeper of the Gates to Hell, I've decided to get in touch with my otherworldly self by attending a convention of supernatural beings in Budapest. For my other career as a courier (with a somewhat tarnished reputation), I have to deliver a priceless amulet to a hermit, much to the amusement of Jim, my wisecracking furry Newfoundland demon. He should be happy that I was able to squeak through customs with a talking dog...
And guess who just happens to be staying at the same hotel as I am? Drake. You remember him. The wyvern of the green dragons? My so-called "mate"? The man who literally fires me up and makes me act like a lovesick schoolgirl? That's Drake.
Meanwhile, mortal men are falling at my feet. I don't know if it's the Hungarian air or what, but it's downright embarrassing. All I want to do is find a Guardian mentor to help me control my powers. Should be easy -- except that every Guardian I meet with winds up dead. I'm starting to get a complex...

Book #2 in the Aisling Grey, Guardian, novel. Aisling is in Budapest for an Otherworld convention while transporting an amulet to a hermit there. Just as fun and amusing as the first one, with some minor differences. In the first book I was sort of exasperated about how clueless Aisling was and how often she managed to get into trouble, nay, ran headfirst into trouble without thinking of the consequences of her actions. In the second book, I was beginning to get used to her character and just enjoy it, but now it feels like while Aisling still manages to get into trouble, its often not her fault and MacAlister delights in writing her into a corner and seeing how she will get out of it. I often found the "rules" of the Otherworld seemed to be set specifically so that Aisling would break one and find out after the fact. Otherworlders seem very ready to frown on her every action without asking her whats really going on. Also Drake doesn't do much to help her and evades every direct question, which makes me wonder why she likes the guy? Because of this, SPOILER: I'm a reader that did feel the ending where she and Drake still have unresolved issues was where the book should have gone. Two things still make me wonder in this book: 1) why/who were those people trying to steal her amulet 2) why did the ghost nuns even help her? - it seems like the author was trying to say - it just is, don't question it by inserting a speech by Tiffany to Aisling about just accepting what's going on. But that sounds a little like a cop out to me!!! *my eyes squint suspiciously*. And.. who is Rene really? Maybe that gets resolved in the next installment..
The accidental guardian, dragon's mate and demon lord heroine is at it again in her second book of the series. And again, murder, mayhem, and super dragon sex is involved! Have fun!

This book had a good mix of paranormal romance and mystery with demons, ghosts, and dragons thrown in. I liked the interaction between characters Aisling, Jim, Drake, Tiffany and Nora. I also liked how Aisling figured out the Guardian murders while trying to keep her dignity intact.

Aisling Grey, the Guardian, is back for another adventure. Aisling goes to Budapest to deliver an amulet, and in the meantime attends the GODTAM conference, where she has high hopes of finding herself a mentor. But she runs into Drake Vireo, the wyvern of the green dragon sept. Can she avoid her fate as his mate? I thought this was a fun read, better than the first in the series!

Another fun book in the Aisling Grey series. Jim the dog is still the best thing going, but Tiffany the Professional Virgin is a hoot.

Another Aisling Grey, Guardian novel and Aisling still doesn't have a clue. Still not able to get rid of her demon (posing as a dog), still a wyvern's mate (hot dude, sometimes literally) and still can't get training on how to use her powers. Disaster follows whereever she goes, but somehow, with a little help and luck, she triumphs.

Aisling Grey, Guardian book #2.
I'm Aisling Grey, and apparently I'm irresistible . . . Being quite the novice Guardian/Keeper of the Gates to Hell, I've decided to get in touch with my otherworldly self by attending a convention of supernatural beings in Budapest. For my other career as a courier for my uncle, I have to deliver a priceless amulet to a hermit, much to the amusement of Jim, my wisecracking, furry Newfoundland dog demon. He should be happy that I was able to squeak through customs with a talking dog . . .
And guess who just happens to be staying at the same hotel as I am? Drake. You remember him. The wyrven of the green dragons? My so-called 'mate'? The man who literally fires me up and makes me act like a lovesick schoolgirl? That Drake!
Meanwhile, mortal men are falling at my feet. I don't know if it's the Hungarian air or what, but it's downright embarrassing. All I want to do is find a Guardian mentor to help me control my powers.
