Alexandra Madison and her partner have developed a revolutionary new invention that has the potential to save the planet.  One night of nightmarish violence lands Alexandra in the hospital and her partner in the mortuary, with their prototype destroyed.

Alex knows she must continue with their plan, which means gathering her backup data and prototype quickly in order to finish the job before the deadline in just a few days.  Being kidnapped from the hospital by a handsome stranger puts a bit of a kink in that plan, but not as much as being continuously attacked by the Slayers who killed her partner and left her for dead.  Of course, even these attacks aren’t quite as distracting as the intensely compelling desire she feels for her kidnapper…

It is the duty of the Pyr to protect the Earth’s treasures, which includes humankind.  Donovan has been tasked with rescuing the lovely scientist from the hospital before the Slayers can finish her off.  Once he finds her, the Firestorm is unleashed and he realizes she is his destined mate.  He is determined to resist the Firestorm until Alex is out of danger and he can leave her in peace.  But then the sexy little minx comes up with a plan to thwart the Firestorm.  He isn’t so sure it will work, but it can’t hurt to try – can it?

Before I had turned the last page of the first book in Deborah Cooke’s DRAGONFIRE series, I knew I wanted sequels in this riveting new paranormal saga.  As much as I had loved KISS OF FIRE, I adored its sequel, KISS OF FURY, even more.

Something about the hero for KISS OF FURY appealed to me immensely.  Maybe it is Donovan’s bad boy persona, or perhaps it was the underlying vulnerability that drives him.  Then again, it could just be his selfless nature and willingness to sacrifice all for those he loves.

Alexandra is the kind of woman I hope to be.  She may experience fear, but she doesn’t let it cripple her.  When the chips are down, Alex will do whatever needs to be done to defend
