A Dragonfire Novel

Kiss of Fate

Lover of Romance 

Erick Sorensson knows that his firestorm is close, because he can feeling the burning need to find her. Erick once had a firestorm, and at first it had been going well, he had a son. But then his son turned slayer on him, and he thought he had lost his mate. Erick knows that feeling the firestorm after all of these years, means his mate has been reincarnated. At first he doesn't want to give into this whirlwind of sensations again. Especially after losing so much before, but Eileen is so different. She is passionate, full of life and courage, and fights for those she cares about. Eileen, lately has been having some strange dreams, of a man who is a dragon but who is also her lover. Then the dream man becomes real, and her dreams change, as if she is seeing into the life of another person. Eileen gets thrust into a world of danger and intrigue, where dragons are real and very dangerous, and her life is constantly in danger. What shocks her is that the one dragon that has become her shadow, is her mate, and shows her passion and finding true love when you least expect it.
Kiss of Fate is the third in the series. After reading the majority of the series so far, I was feeling antsy wanting to read Erick's story. Erick is just "Sigh"....so seductively sexy, and is one of my all time heroes. He is very protective, enough alpha in him to satisfy any woman, but not too much to drive a woman nuts. I found him to be 'delectable' at times. Eileen was such a fun character to read. Even though a bit predictable, I enjoyed the little surprises here and there, and I just truly enjoyed seeing what inner strength and character she had. Even though there were times that their story was a bit on the predictable side, but I loved the flair and the suspense that kept the story rolling and keeps the reader engaged. There was also a few side stories that I found just thrilling to read. I really liked the chemistry between Erick and Eileen, but I also enjoyed the love story that is so enthralling...it did bring a few tears to my eyes. But at other times I was just laughing with the witty rapatoire that this author displays throughout the story. I found Kiss of Fate to be a lovely addition to the story, and top of the list of favorites for me. A truly compelling read that will capture the heart of every reader who enjoys a captivating romance, thrilling plot, and sexy characters.


My Favorite Quote 
It made Eileen feel powerful that she could incite desire in this man who such capabilities, who had lived so long and undoubtedly seen so many women. She was glad that he saw no need to change her, just accepted her as she was. Wanted her as she was. She liked that he was tough but vulnerable, and that he trusted her enough to let her glimpse his old wounds. She appreciated that he still gave her the choice, that he didn't just take what he wanted. 
It means that she would give him more.

‘Kiss of Fate‘ is the 3rd book in Deborah Cooke’s Dragonfire Series. It’s about the third firestorm, between Eric Sorensson and Eileen Grosvenor, before the final battle between Pyr and Slayer.

It’s also a suitable book for the 2nd topic of the Reading Romances Challenge: Read a book with an older Hero or heroine (AT LEAST mid-to-late thirties): Eric has a few centuries in his backpack and Eileen’s thirty-seven.

Eric is the leader of the Pyr, a group of dragons that are meant to protect the earth and all things that form it. In their quest to save earth and the human race against the Slayers (dragons that degenerated into foul creatures and are trying to wipe the humans and Pyr from the face of the earth), they have to fulfill some prophecies that include the consummating of three firestorms and the personal growth of each Pyr, beforethe final battle takes place.

These stories are packed with action, fights, flights and persecutions; they also have a strong love theme and some Good vs. Evil lessons that captivate the reader’s attention. They also keep reminding us of humanity’s responsibility in saving ourselves and the earth we live in. It definitely is a fun read about dragon lore and human behavior. It really keeps us in a true roller-coaster of events.

Even though we have a few surprises in this third volume, some of it became a little predictable. The new elements introduced in this book are interesting enough to keep us wondering what will be the next adventure and how the final battle will evolve. But (and on a more personal note) I think that the dragon fighting scenes needed a little more of the author’s attention. They are very passionate but kept focusing on details like claws and turns and forgetting the space confinements and some impossible maneuvers. The author also keeps adding characters in these scenes that confused the hell out of me. There’s no way a normal reader is able to keep track of all the characters colors…

But I do maintain that this is a fun read and a good paranormal romance as it puts us through passion, reincarnation, sacrifice and redemption.
