Wow!

Hi! I really love this series. Its so nice to find a paranormal romance series that is really enthralling. The characters were fun to read and the pace was fast. I can't wait for the next one!

Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!

The Pyr warriors have protected humans for thousands of years without anyone realizing. As protectors and guardians, these shape-shifting dragons strive to keep the treasures of the Earth that they have been entrusted with safe. KISS OF FURY is Donovan's story.

Scientist and inventor Alexandra Madison awakens in the hospital days after witnessing the brutal murder of her partner and annihilation of her lab. With just days left to unveil her secret invention, the Green Machine, she overhears a doctor telling her nurse that she is going to be moved to another ward of the hospital because of the nightmares she has been experiencing since landing in the hospital. Weak from her burns but with only minutes left to spare, Alex decides to escape. Before that can happen, however, she is whisked away by a compellingly handsome auburn-haired hospital worker and placed in the back of a hearse.

Donovan Shea is a warrior first and foremost and as the second lunar eclipse reveals the next firestorm, he is sent to Minneapolis to find and protect Alex Madison. Still reeling from his cousin's death, Donovan is willing to continue the Pyr fight against the Slayers. What he isn't willing to do is accept a firestorm - he adamantly refuses to fulfill that part of his destiny. When he inadvertently touches Alex while whisking her away to safety, Donovan is shocked to feel that telling spark and dismayed to realize that the firestorm has found him.

Alex is unwilling to allow herself to be captured, but in escaping Donovan she puts her life in danger. When he rescues her time and again and she witnesses what she thought was an imagined dream, Alex decides she and Donovan need to come to an understanding. While she is attracted to him and desires him, she does not want to be someone's destined mate. No matter that he is the most beautiful man she has ever seen, Alex is determined that it will take more than mere sparks to light her fire. But when that happens, the results are combustible.

I finished reading KISS OF FURY a couple of days ago. Since then, I have been thinking about what I want to tell people about this book. Should I mention that some questions about characters are answered but more questions are not? Should I tell about how Donovan fights his firestorm with every breath in his dragon heart but deep down inside his fight is null and void because Alex is the perfect mate for him? But most of all, how could I let readers know just how much I truly enjoyed this book? And I did. Anticipating its release, I have been haunting Deborah Cooke's website for months. The cover alone on Amazon was enough to make my heart flutter with palpitations.

Let me be the first to state that while Donovan on the book's cover is extremely fascinating and completely drool worthy, the cover of KISS OF FURY by no means even touches the surface as to how just devastatingly hot he is in printed text. He is loyal, he is steadfast, and he is a true Warrior among his men.

Deborah Cooke has only touched the surface about these wonderful men called the Pyr and their battle with the evil dragons that are called Slayers. I am dying for more and can't wait to further dive into future books as they are released. ***Natasha Smith for Romance Junkies***

Kiss of Fury (Dragonfire, Book 2)

This book surprised me. I honestly didn't expect the power of the first book in this series to be replicated in Book 2. And, I was right. This one was actually better!

Donovan is fabulous...(I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers, that's for sure!!). His "firestorm" is unwanted, and he feels tricked into the heat he experiences with Alexandra. Donovan has a long-term history of distrusting women, and that interferes with his acceptance/trust of Alexandra.

Alex and Donovan plan to "cheat" their firestorm using condoms. Instead, they find the un-satisfied firestorm only gets hotter! The relationship between these two extremely different characters is witty, and paced beautifully.

The Slayers get a new weapon in their war against the Pyr while Boris, the extremely nasty Slayer, is finally beaten down (but not out!).

This book is enchanting, and makes shape-shifting dragons almost believeable.

I particuliarly liked D. Cook using the Green Machine as the target of the Slayers. In todays' world...anything that brings more awareness of global warming and possible solutions into the mainstream is appreciated.

I can't help hoping that Nikolas the newly-un-enchanted Pyr ends up with Sophie...they are too cute together.

Great balls of fire

I was looking forward to the second book after I discovered her first dragon story. I enjoy reading paranormal romances and Deborah's stories about dragon is different than my normal vampire/dark hunter/etc story lines. I enjoyed both of her Kiss books and look forward to future editions.

Thanks.

Excellent paranormal romantic suspense

The dragon war continues between the Pyr and Slayers over saving or destroying humanity. Both sides know of the legend that one day a wizard and warrior will change the stalemate; each has a need to find the legend.

Human research scientist Alexandra Madison believes she is about to make a major find only to have her lab destroyed in an arson assault and her partner killed. Pyr dragon Donovan Shea is sent to keep Alexandra safe. To his shock and chagrin, the frail human ignites his firestorm; a desire he thought died when love betrayed him. Meanwhile Alex is attracted to Madison in his human form even as they are under assault from stalking Slayers.

The second Dragonfire paranormal romantic suspense (see KISS OF FIRE) is a terrific thriller that enables the audience to believe in the world this author Cooked up. The story line is fast-paced and filled with plenty of action yet fans will believe in the firestorm destined soulmates romantic subplot so critical to the tale. KISS OF FURY is a superb romantic fantasy starring two wonderful lead protagonists and a horde of nasty Slayers assigned to kill both of them.

Alexandra Madison has discovered an invention that could change the world. When her partner is murdered and their lab destroyed, Alex knows she has to rebuild her prototype in time...

Donovan Shea knows the Madison project is of dire importance to the ongoing Pyr/Slayer war. So when he sees Alex being followed by a Slayer, he reacts and defends her, never imagining that she?s his destined mate...

As Slayers close in on their prey, Donovan knows he?ll surrender his life to protect Alex?and lose his heart to possess her...
