Oh Someone save me! How could you not love a hot man who can't die, and is reborn every time? As always I loved this book, as I love all Stephanie Draven's books. This book was sexy hot, filled with humor, and a story that I left me wanting more. The pace, action, and plot never lets you up from the beginning. The characters are hot, believable, relatable, and completely "Do-able" *drool*. Over all A fantastic book. I do recommend this to anyone 18+.

The Fever and the Fury gets off to a humorous start. Phaedra is tasked with making Luke atone for his sin. Luke refuses because he feels that he hasn't done anything wrong. The novella starts with Phaedra trying to kill Luke for the third time that week. Phaedra can not be released from her obligation until her job is done. Phaedra realizes that if she wants to succeed, she may have to change her method.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed The Fever and the Fury. I loved Phaedra and More...

Phaedra and Luke were a strange couple. She's killing him or drive him to madness if he continues to refuse to atone for his sins. He's in hiding from the government after leaking sensitive military secrets that are damaging. You'd think there'd be a tad bit of animosity on his part towards Phaedra where he wouldn't even think of hopping into bed with her. But apparently, he can toss those feelings aside when it means feeding his overwhelming sex drive.

From the very first words I was sucked in. Finished this one in a single sitting only hours after getting it. KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!!!
First let me tell you why I gave it an 8. While I really enjoyed the story, when I got to the end...well, it just didn't feel like the end. It was like there was another chapter or two left that I didn't ge to read.

I was immediately drawn to this book. Not only is the cover yummioso but the blurb had me giddy with excitement.
It started with a bang and continued to keep me hooked.
I loved Luke, he was the masculine hero who knew how to pleasure a woman and boy did he pleasure.
And Phaedra? Well she was a fury - as old as the gods - yet she was a
VIRGIN *gasp* Yes a virgin. Imagine the cobwebs growing between those legs people. So you can imagin More...

TLDR Recap:
Phaedra is a centuries old fury, whose job is to make others atone for their crimes, or to drive them to madness should they refuse to cooperate. Luke Lazaros is Phaedra’s most challenging target yet- not only does he refuse to atone for his sins, but he’s a phoenix… which means that every time Phaedra kills him, he comes right back to life. Phaedra decides that the only way to make any progress with Luke is to drive him mad with desire…but soon she finds that More...

This book grabs you by the teeth with the first sentence, and doesn’t let up. Action, tension and burning sensuality all start at an off-the-charts level. Ms. Draven skillfully interweaves familiar mythological creatures into modern day.
The fury is a take no prisoners heroine, and the hero a stubborn, sexy, smart-ass phoenix. Responsibility and duty are the driving forces behind both of them. And yet, as the story evolves, both reveal their insecurities and impossible longings. More...

I am a big fan of the Harlequin Nocturne series and so when I saw this novella come up for review, I grabbed it – and I am happy I did. Stephanie H. Draven’s The Fever and the Fury spins an old tale of one of the Furies seeking retribution on a sinner. However, when Phaedra the Fury cannot get Luke Lazaros to atone for his crime, she decides on another plan: make him mad with desire (unrequited desire, or so she thinks) and he’ll eventually give in and beg for forgiveness so More...

This review can also be found on my blog, Escape Into Fiction: The Fever and the Fury Review.
My Thoughts:
This is a story of a phoenix pitted against a fury and what can happen between them when they stop fighting long enough to actually see each other for who they really are.
Phaedra is a strong and ruthless Fury, sent by the goddess Athena to force Luke to repent or go mad. Her touch can bring forth misery and she does everything in her power to get him to r More...

also ich weiß jetzt wirklich nicht, was ich mir von dem buch erwartet hatte - aber das ganze buch war einfach... grauenhaft schlecht!
die ersten paar seiten gingen noch und ich habe mich echt gefreut, aber ab dem Zeitpunkt wo Luke das Buch kaufen möchte, um Phaedra loszuwerden, wollte ich nur noch fertig werden.
Ich bin kein Feind von Sexszenen, im Gegenteil - wenn sie gut sind, das hier war kaum besser als irgendein drittklassiger tschechischer Softporno.

Man, I love a sizzling romance with equally powerful characters, and this one has that in spades. Both Luke and Phaedra have incredible supernatural powers and give as good as they get. The sexual chemistry crackles off the page in one intense sexually charged scene after another that will leave you breathless and panting. But both characters have a softer, vulnerable side too, and that's what really made me root for them. I just loved this story from beginning to end, another great addition to

This is the second of Ms. Stephanie Draven’s books I’ve read and it was a pleasant surprise. In this series we have Gods, Demi-Gods, Medusas, Sirens, Furys, Phenixs, and other mythical creatures. The Gods are egoistical creatures and they do whatever they want, without thinking about the consequences. (full review)

"The Fever and the Fury" is an excellent novella in the Nocturne Cravings line. It features two unique characters--a war-torn soldier turned phoenix and a fury. The scenes are hot, and so are the characters. This novella is definitely paying the price to read. Pick it up as a New Years treat, you won't be disappointed!

Phaedra is a sassy, feisty Fury with a job to do, and Luke is a stubborn, smart-mouthed, unrepentant man that is making her job very difficult. As they match wits, and try to outsmart one another, they come to know each other's reasons for why they do what they do and find that they are both missing many things in their lives that they never realized.
This is one smokin' hot read! I devoured this novella in record time, unable to peel my eyes from the page - I'm going to be dreaming More...

I know that some people like short stories (novellas) but I am not one fo them. I feel like they are good but not enough for me to want to read it again or recommend it. I liked this story but I fel taht it could have gone on longer.

My only complaint about this book is that it was too short! Would have loved even more of Luke and Phaedra!

Short, hot and sexy, with a surprisingly sweet undercurrent as well, and just a few pointed political barbs slipped in on the side.
