Blurb
Finn Conleth leads his team of enforcer dragon shifters with an iron fist and a cold heart. Every dragon seeks his destined mate, but the process to turn the woman he once thought was his killed her and devastated him. He will never risk his heart again. His team is his family now. When his body eventually gives out, he’ll leave, living his last days alone.
Delaney Hamilton moved across the country to escape the freak fires that plague her. But when another suspicious fire erupts and rapidly escalates around her, her hopes for a new life go up in smoke. She has no choice but to turn to the mysterious men who come to her aid.
Finn knows the fire is dragon-caused, which puts Delaney’s problems directly in his jurisdiction. No matter how her wounded grey eyes call to every part of him, he refuses to risk her life in the mating process.
Until another dragon threatens to claim Delaney for his own, and Finn has to sacrifice everything to keep her alive…
Review
In the second book in the Fire’s Edge series, Finn Conleth is still heartbroken and filled with guilt over losing his mate a few hundred years ago. As the leader of the Huracán team—a group of highly skilled dragon shifters assigned to protect the western part of the US from rogue dragons—he’s calm, collected, and always in control. Then the human woman he saves from a barn fire changes everything.
For the past few years, Delaney Hamilton has been having blackouts and wakes up to fire blazing all around her. She’s moved clear across the country to escape the strange happenings and to outrun her stalker. She meets a kindred spirit in Finn, a sexy firefighter who’s more than he appears to be.
The chemistry between Finn and Delaney is off the charts. He runs hot and cold, desperate for her but also desperate to keep his distance. She’s so snarky and doesn’t let Finn get away with his bull. They fit together perfectly and help each other heal from their tragic losses.
The secondary characters are great, especially Aiden, Levi, and Titus. I’m looking forward to learning more about them and hopefully see them get their own stories. I also can’t wait to know more about Rune, Finn’s former best friend and now enemy, and the unknown informant on Finn’s team. (I have my suspicions about who the informant is, but it’s too early to tell.)
The sex scenes are mouthwatering hot and detailed, which I like. I’d rate this story as 5 flames, but it does have an erotic undertone due to the sexy fantasy Finn and Delaney came up with. They don’t act out the fantasy, but I kinda wished they would have. Trust me—it’s hot enough to melt ice!
The story flowed well and kept my attention. The only thing I’m confused about is why Delaney didn’t receive the dragon mark on her neck when she first started exhibiting dragon mate signs. All potential dragon mates are suppose to, and I think Rune may have the answer to that. Hopefully, it’ll be explained in another book, which I’ll be sure to read.
