Tempted by Fire

By: Erin Kellison

Narrated by: Bernard Setaro Clark

Tempted by Fire is the first in the enthralling new Dragons of Bloodfire series by New York Times best-selling author Erin Kellison. Dragon shifter Thane Ealdian has waited 600 years to avenge the loss of his family, and finally a clue has surfaced that implicates an old adversary. Thane will stop at nothing to seek his revenge, but to prevent violence between the clans, the Bloodkin Triad has forced a mediator on him. Some upstart named Emerson Clark.

Emerson is fed up with all Bloodkin and how they've managed to control every aspect of her life. While she doesn't believe that Bloodkin can shift into dragons - because, really? - she has to admit, they are exceptionally nice to look at. But once the mediation is over, she wants nothing to do with them ever again. When Thane discovers that the clever and beautiful Emerson is the key to uncovering the truth, he has no intention of letting her go. Although she wants to run, she can't turn her back on Thane or her intense feelings for him. His quest pulls at her heart, just as his nearness sparks something dangerous inside her. With evil in hot pursuit, sooner or later everything will ignite - the mediation, the shifter within her, and their passions.

This story was interesting from start to finish! Loved the mystery surrounding each character. The importance of loyalty and the saving grace of love was extraordinary!

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Dragon

Two dragon's meet while murder and mayhem swirls around them. This is an entertaining book!

Good, needed to be fleshed out a bit more.

Got this for only $1 on sale and the book was good enough for a sale and a possible continuation, but…. The romance was not really there, even after the butler advised that some wooing was needed. Plus there was no connection between the two main characters, it was ‘wham bam thank you ma’am’ and they were in love. The story line could have used a bit of expansion as the story was super quick with a lot happening but not much background on events that led up to it. But overall it was fairly good. Narrator was good.

OK to have something to listen to while driving.

writing is more for teens, language more for adults. very abrupt ending. not sure what I was expecting but this was a bit disappointing.

Wanted more storyline and a longer book

First, I have to say this author and narrator are new to me. I really enjoyed Bernard Clark's voice and thought he did a fantastic job voicing each character. He's got a great voice, especially the one he used for Thane!
Second, the lower rating based on the extremely short book. I wanted so much more meat to this dragon shifter book!
I am a huge fan of shifter books, and rarely get to read/listen to one about dragons.

Was hoping for at least another 2 hours of back story, build up, character development, MC attraction build up.

While I enjoyed this book, it doesn't justify using up my only monthly alloted credit for such a short book.

If the author chose to maybe offer 3, say books 1-3, it would be worth the credit.

if you're a fan of short/quick listens you might want to give this one a try and decide for yourself.

good story

I really enjoyed the story I enjoyed listening to a narrator. I really enjoyed the dragon shifter aspects of the story and then sprinkling in a little bit of werewolf shifter

My wife loved it. I liked it too.

Great book for a road trip with my wife when the kids are at home.

An "OK" Plot But No Chemistry!

This story was a hard one for me to rate. I've read other stories by Erin Kellison and really enjoyed them; however, I felt a little let down by Tempted By Fire. The plot, suspense and mystery was decent, and the humorous dialogue throughout the story was really good, but the characters lacked chemistry and romance. Overall, this was just an OK listen to me. Had I not bought this on a whispersync sale, I would have probably returned it.

Bernard Setaro Clark was good fit for Thane Ealdian, and did a great job narrating.

If you're looking for a steamy romance, then this story may not be for you; however, if you are looking for a dragon shifter story with more of a storyline, then you may want to consider Tempted By Fire.

Really, really enjoyed the story. Love the powerful voice of the narrator, he really made the story so much enjoyable.
