TAMED BY THE FIRE

BY

MAXINE MANSFIELD

BLURB:

Kitrina Dragonheart is a hunted woman, but the last thing the savvy rogue wants is to partner in a quest with the arrogant but oh-so-sexy prince who deflowered her. But when the threat extends to her legacy and her loved ones, she has no choice but to accept his skills as an extraordinary warrior. Now if she can just get past the distraction of his touch.

Barbarian Zander Hammerstrike vowed to protect Kit with his life. But who's going to protect Zander from the sensually sassy human? She's playing havoc on his sanity—as well as his libido—and she's on the verge of stealing his heart...again. He can't let that happen. As future ruler of Alaria, Zander must take a barbarian wife to keep the bloodline pure, and Kit being human...

Destined from birth to follow different paths, their love seems impossible, but does the Dragon Heart Opal have other plans in store for the pair?

REVIEW:

 
Tamed By The Fire
Ms. Mansfield has done it again! She has written another book that had me on the edge of my seat, and laughing out loud. Once again this story had it all, barbarians, gnomes, dragons, shape shifters, and magic. 

Tamed by the Fire was action packed, full of fun, and exciting. There was a wonderfully varied cast of characters that kept the story worth while. Kit and Zander were great together. I was a little frustrated in the beginning, not knowing what was going to happen with the Main characters due to a misunderstanding. I was seriously considering putting the book down, but I persevered and was happy with the end results. 

The story flowed very well, the plot was intriguing and kept me glued to the pages. The characters well developed, and they endear themselves to you. The sexual scenes were hot, hilarious, and fun to read. The author certainly knows how to spin a sex scene in some weird and creative ways. Very much worth the read. 

This series just gets better and better. I have to say that these books are up there in the top of my favorite fantasy reads. 

Oh, and the Gnomes once again steal the show! 

If you love fantasy novels filled with humor, engaging main characters, and hot sex. I recommend this book to you.

EXCERPT:

A girl’s deflowering is a once-in-a-lifetime event…

He didn’t say a word as they walked from the great room or even as they made their way down the long hall. Not a “hi, how are you?” Not a “how have you been?” Not even an “I’ve always been attracted to you, and I’m looking forward to doing this.” Nothing but silence.

When the door of her chamber clicked closed behind them, shutting them all alone from the rest of the world, Kitrina jumped at the sound of the bolt tumbling into place. She searched for something clever to say. Where was the speech she’d prepared just yesterday? The witty words meant to assure Zander that she was a woman full grown, sophisticated even? Words meant to put them both at ease?

They were gone, completely gone, and her mind totally blank.

Well, perhaps not totally blank. Even though she no longer faced him, she could still hear the depth of his breathing and in her mind still see the ripple of his muscles, the intensity of his gaze, the nearness of his lips. She gulped.

When his hands lifted her hair away and his fingers grazed the skin at the back of her neck, heat infused her from head to toe, and though certainly not cold, she shivered.

“Easy, my lady. Relax, all will be well. You shall see.”

The closure of her gown suddenly gave way, and with a whoosh, the gossamer green material pooled about her feet. Kit stepped out of it, took a deep breath to steady herself, then turned to face him. The appreciation for what he saw reflected back to her from his heated gaze and bolstered her shaky nerves as nothing else on Albrath could have. Though his breathing appeared steady, his lips parted and his nostrils slightly flared.

Kitrina reached out and undid the clasp holding his kilt together. There was no mistaking his attraction to her as the plaid fell to the floor.
