In the eighth book of the Dragon Kin series, G.A. Aiken ups the ante with
this wonderfully written and hysterical installment. FEEL THE BURN
ignites the fun-loving spirits of its readers through humor-soaked antics and
action scenes. Despite being over 400 pages, I flew through this book.
There's so much to love with Aiken's writing.
First of all, the hero and heroine pairing could not be any more shocking.
Gaius is the Rebel King but Aiken pairs him with Kachka, a Daughter of the
Steppes. If you haven't read the previous book in the series, Kachka is
Elina's sister. Despite the fact that the both of them were raised together,
they have very different world views and personalities. I really enjoyed
Kachka's character. She was feisty, strong-willed, and the perfect match for
someone like Gaius.
Gaius absolutely blew my socks off. What I loved most about his character
was that although he is a king, he is just as likely to jump into battle
as his soldiers are. And what gets him even more brownie points is the fact
that Annwyl the Bloody calls him a friend. Getting respect from her is a big
deal and shows just how much power he has in this world, even if he doesn't
wield it.
Aiken also moves forward with the war. Tension is brewing and it's only a
matter of time before all hell breaks loose. Tremendous leaps are made in
terms of plot and I cannot wait to see what Aiken has in store for her readers
next. Each book continues to get better and as the younger characters begin
to step up, this already ferocious bunch gets even more menacing.
FEEL THE BURN is a breath of fire in the paranormal romance genre,
igniting interest and passion all over again.
I, Gaius Domitus, one-eyed rebel dragon king of the
Provinces, know that better than most, since I have to fight
off half my ungrateful family on a regular basis to keep law
and order here in my lands. But I never expected to have to
consort with a barbarian human woman.
Kachka is beautiful, if you like them fierce—and of course I
do. But she keeps complaining about how spoiled and decadent
I am, and how a feared Daughter of the Steppes has no time
for foolish dragons. I think she likes my eye patch, though.
It is quite dashing. With death always at our tails, we take
our passion like we take our allies. As they say, love the
barbarian you’re with…
