Fire Heart

The Dragon of Umbra, Book 1

De: Emma Hamm

Narrado por: Antony Ferguson, Esther Wane

They handed her a sword and bid her to take a throne....

Lorelei is half elf in a kingdom where that bloodline is synonymous with "slave". The Umbra King holds everyone captive with his pet dragon who knows no mercy. She hides in the shadows and steals to stay alive, until a rebel group gives her an offer she can't refuse.

The King seeks a bride. If she can get close enough, she could drive a dagger into that wicked man's heart. But the bridal games are more difficult than most. Lorelei must prove herself not only beautiful, but talented, poised, and deadly as the king. However, the closer she gets to saving her kingdom, the more she realizes a singular problem stands in her way.

The dragon.

The King's bodyguard is more than a slathering beast. He's a man. And the longer she's near him, the more she realizes that perhaps the king isn't the most dangerous person in the kingdom. Perhaps she had to guard not only her body, but her heart. For a dragon mates for life, and they're hard pressed to give up their treasures.

Absolute Romantic Fantasy Gold

LOVE this series!! You need to listen to this series. The writing is great the narrators are great!!

A Wonderful and Unique Story

I loved this book. It was fast paced, exciting, and hard to put down! I was too excited to see a Leshy included in a fantasy novel. Emma always does her research and creates my favorite side characters. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Captured My Interest

I enjoyed this first book. In the end, I was really hoping for the dragon and half elf. There were surprises and lingering questions. Of course a cliffhanger, which I don’t really like. I will hoverer, check the next book because I want to know what happens next.

Emma does it again!

Okay I know this is on her backlist but holy crap! I wish I didn’t wait so long to read it. I love how the story was told and the important themes spotlighted during the book.

Good story-Great narration

The author did a good job on world building. Lore, female lead, is a little too whiny and "and why me" than I like in "strong" female leads; but still likeable.

Abraxus is the dark knight and shining armour. By no means perfect; just as a main hero should be in, my opinion.

The plot is a bit predictable only because I have listened to soooo much romantic fantasy. But the author threw a few surprises in that made the overall story a nice listen.

Narration is wonderful. I enjoy listening to the male and female voices. These are 2 of my favorite narrators so that's another plus!

If you enjoy Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout, you will likely enjoy this story. It is very similar in theme but much shorter in length. T It was worth the credit for me. I have already purchased the other books.

Pixies, elves, dragons and other magical creatures

I am so happy I finally picked this book up off my TBR. I love Emma’s writing style. The words flow easily and create the most beautiful image in your mind. I have yet to pick up a book of Hamm’s that I didn’t like.

Not for me

I was surprised that I did not care for this one! Based on the reviews and storylines I thought I would fall in love but……

was good

this was a very good story. this had everything.... but I male voice was a bit off I think. but I was still able to enjoy the story.

Interesting book

I bought this book so long ago that I had forgotten what it was about but I really enjoyed the story and the performance.

A wonderful story with meh narration

This book wholeheartedly lived up to all the hype and my expectations going into it as a dragon loving Romantasy addict! I loved how both the story and romance unfolded. I fell hard for the MMC as both his story and the FMCs were never rushed, and their connection was really well fleshed out and believable. The lore weaved in is so well written and enchanting, I can’t wait to read the next one! I will say that the audiobook was a bit tough, it has two narrators and the female voice was great but the male reader lacked A LOT of inflection, almost like he didn’t read what he said so he didn’t know when to inflect? One of his voices was a bit over the top which was really distracting. I felt like his narration effected a lot of the story’s depth of emotion and that it was a much much better read without audiobook imo.
