I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this story! There were no dull moments in it and it all played out very well. I would have liked to have seen a little more of Rue's confrontation with Melanie, yeah I love the payback is a bitch scenes... I look forward to reading more of this series. It is s...

It took me a little bit of time to get into the story.I'll probably read the next one in the series.

I have a shelf on GoodReads entitled “take-flight” that I use for all sort of things: airplane pilots, angels, dragons. Or in this case, drákon. These mythical breasts are beautifully, if fiercely, portrayed in Ms. Abe’s book. I love the descriptions of they flights.It felt…exhilarating. Even wi...

This book was pretty good. Sort of intriguing but very predictable. You could pretty much tell exactly where the book was going from page 1, but that's not to say it isn't an enjoyable read, because it it. The main characters were relatable, and fleshed out, they were a good match and Rue definitely...

I really enjoyed this book. The only thing that bothered me was Rue fighting her feelings and the inevitability of being with Christoff. Why? She knows there's no other way and she knows she loves him, it just seemed meaningless. I plan on reading Dream Thief next and already ordered it from the...

This book was an absolute pleasure to read. It was wonderful. It was thrilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being swept away to a magical world where the drakon (dragon shifters) live amongst us. The Smoke Thief is set in the 1750’s so it also has the richness and textures of that time period. The author c...

I had high expectations. So many have given this 5 stars but it didn't quite reach those lofty heights for me. I enjoyed the story but the prologue really put me off, it was a lengthy and slightly dull history lesson which was difficult to read. It should have been incorporated into the story instea...

I wasn't sure how a historical romance with dragon-shifter characters was going to play out; it could have been really cheesy. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The author blended magic, romance, and a historical setting with this cat-and-mouse story seamlessly. I was completely...

I liked this book very much, but I did not love it as many others have. My main problems were:1. The story seemed to drag a little around the middle with the hero and heroine saying the same lines over and over for way too long. Luckily, it soon picked up again.2. The hero was not very likable; he d...

I came home from work, grabbed a handful of cashews (um, dinner), fed the dogs and the son, and dove in to finish. This was great. Love, thieves, London, sex, dragons. I mean, what more could you ask for?
