"Fire Born" by Rayanne Haines



Publisher:Macedon, New York : Soul Mate Publishing, [2017]
Copyright Date:©2017
ISBN:9781682915387
Characteristics: 249 pages ;,21 cm

According to the book jacket this novel is classified as a romance, I'm not exactly sure how they came up with this as I would have put it squarely into the fantasy genre. But it doesn't really matter what you classify it as, as it is a very well written story that definitely keeps you turning the pages.

The story revolves around a young lady Alex Taleisin who as it turns out has the rather spectacular power of being able to control fire, in fact she is a fire elemental. In addition she is the long-lost daughter of a fierce female warrior, is protected by a dragon, and aided by a witch who dresses in clothes (from Holt Renfrew) that make all the men's heads turn.

There are quite a number of funny moments in this book when you consider the interactions between the various characters, but there is also a fair bit of stress as not only is Alex falling in love with her dragon guardian (he shape shifts in case you are wondering), but she also meets up with her grandfather who depending on how you look at things may be the wisest of them all, or a few cards short of a full deck.

All in all a very good story, and I'm looking forward to the second book in the series "Magic Born".

 Greetings, I have decided to put a hold on doing further book reviews for a while. In fact I'm not sure if I will resume doing reviews ...
