About this ebook

One kiss can change the course of destiny...

When ace accountant Sara Keegan decides to settle down and run her quirky aunt's New Age bookstore, she's not looking for adventure. She doesn't believe in fate or the magic of tarot cards, but when she's saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, she questions whether she's losing her mind—or about to lose her heart.

Self-reliant loner Quinn Tyrrell has long been distrustful of his fellow Pyr. When he feels the firestorm that signals his destined mate, he's determined to protect and possess Sara, regardless of the cost. Then Sara's true destiny is revealed and Quinn realizes he must risk everything — even Sara's love — to fulfill their entwined fates...

Ratings and reviews

OMG! I forgot how much I love this series! It has been awhile since I read it and I just have to tell you that is just so wrong. Now, let me tell you my thoughts on the first book in the Dragonfire series – Kiss of Fire. Sara and Quinn are strong, charismatic characters that are easily connected to and I just fell in love with them from the get go. The romance is sweet and has lots of spectacular chemistry flowing from the pages but the relationship has a few stumbling blocks as Sara doesn’t believe in fate or magic, so what’s a dragon that is facing his firestorm to do? Risk everything to fulfill their entwined fates like that’s the easiest thing in the world to do, right? Having to go through emotional turmoil along with life altering as well as mind altering decisions is certainly not easy so this couple’s happily ever after is quite a bit of interesting and fulfilling hard work. And that’s not all, this book is full of excitement and thrills as anticipation and suspense build throughout the story which kept me on the edge of my seat and hanging on to every last word that this couple said. The fast paced story never has a dull moment and introduces and a whole new and fascinating world of dragons that I find to be exhilarating. Deborah Cooke’s Dragonfire world is well developed, easily pictured and easily get the imagination flowing as it introduces some wonderfully unique elements and delightful and intriguing characters and did I mention how sexy these dragons are? I loved Kiss of Fire and I can’t wait for the re-release of the second book - Kiss of Fury!

For a dragon shifter romance, it was genuine from anything I've read before. Intriguing storyline with evil and manipulative villains. Handsome drool worthy heros with even radiant mythical prohetess. There was great suspense during the inflight fighting, with all the dragon fire and talon slashing, even while holding someone! Don't be discouraged, there is the swooning kisses and EXTRA steamy shower. It may not seem as excitable to some who read shifter romances all the time but I appreciate all romances. Every one deserves happiness. I hope more people will venture to enjoy the beginning and be persuaded to read more of the series as I was.

A really fabulous read wish I had an income and could read the rest of the series alas I don't know if that will ever happen again since they have already denied my disability 4 times now and at sixty two I don't know how long I have left.
