An "OK" Plot But No Chemistry!

This story was a hard one for me to rate. I've read other stories by Erin Kellison and really enjoyed them; however, I felt a little let down by Tempted By Fire. The plot, suspense and mystery was decent, and the humorous dialogue throughout the story was really good, but the characters lacked chemistry and romance. Overall, this was just an OK listen to me. Had I not bought this on a whispersync sale, I would have probably returned it.

Bernard Setaro Clark was good fit for Thane Ealdian, and did a great job narrating.

If you're looking for a steamy romance, then this story may not be for you; however, if you are looking for a dragon shifter story with more of a storyline, then you may want to consider Tempted By Fire.

OK to have something to listen to while driving.

writing is more for teens, language more for adults. very abrupt ending. not sure what I was expecting but this was a bit disappointing.

Fantastic Story and Superb Narration!

This was a great story, loved it! I have read a few dragon shifter books in the past and they were all sort of cheesy. This one was not. I really liked the characters Ember/Emerson and Thane. Ember was so full of spunk and wittiness. I love a strong female lead character and she was that. Thane was awesome and his back story was very good.

The chemistry between these two was real and genuine. The sex scene was nicely written. There was a lot of great dialogue through out the entire book. Love lots of dialogue. Ember was pretty funny with her witty sarcasm.

Really enjoyed this story a lot.

As for the narration. I swear this guy sounds like Robert Petkoff to me! What a great narrator! He has such a great voice. The women sound like women and everyone gets their own distinct voice and his reading voice is awesome! He reads with emotion as called for, laughing, yelling, whispering etc. and OMG the voice he used for Thane was really sexy!
If you are a Robert Petkoff fan (and really who is not?) you will live this narration.

I got this book for .99 on amazon and the whispersync audible for 1.99 Great deal!

Very enjoyable read

This is a solid 4.5 romance/fantasy book. While I have to tell you I expected not to enjoy or finish this book. I couldn’t figure out why I had obtained it. But to my surprise I found myself chuckling and enjoying it very much. There are some steamy scenes but nothing over the top.

Tempted by Fire

Really, really enjoyed the story. Love the powerful voice of the narrator, he really made the story so much enjoyable.

Dragon

Two dragon's meet while murder and mayhem swirls around them. This is an entertaining book!

needing more

found myself loving this story listening to her whole attitude on how she was not going to fall for this and then how she fell in love with him just totally made me feel wonderful and now I want more because I want to find out what happens to Brian and how they fare against Council

This story was interesting from start to finish! Loved the mystery surrounding each character. The importance of loyalty and the saving grace of love was extraordinary!

My wife loved it. I liked it too.

Great book for a road trip with my wife when the kids are at home.
