Read from August 01 to 02, 2012

So worth the wait!!! How can I say enough about this book? This couple - Eibhear and Izzy - have been my favorite romance couple for a while. Even though they never had their own book! So to now have their story... there were a LOT of expectations hanging on this one. I am so glad that it delivered!

Izzy has been in love with Eibhear since she first met him when she was sixteen. He pretty much fell for her too, but he was technically her uncle since his brother married her mother and adopted Izzy as his own. As an immature dragon, he just didn't know what to do with the feelings that he had for her. But those feelings were strong and it is only with the most stringent self control that he was able to resist her...

Llsbear3 Less sex & humor. Strong plot line in the first 4 or 5
books. Romance in books 1 thru 3. Book 3 made best
sellers lists.[THE WHITE DRAGON}


The Window Seat I'll look into it. I just got started on a new series and my TBR pile is out of control! I also want to read Aiken's pride series. Have you read that?

Llsbear3 Sorry, but i still think that Eibhear is better off
withoff Izzy.

Doesn't seem like Eibhear thinks so - based on the excerpt... :)

Llsbear3 Maybe - Maybe Not.

Join us, Loucresha!! We need more voices in the Izzy/Eibhear camp! :) Llsbear is convinced Izzy is a spoiled brat who doesn't deserve Eibhear after she f***'d his cousin. We are trying to change his mind.

LOL! Keep trying Llsbear!

Llsbear3 I don't give up easily.


message 19: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 I realizes that E & I will end up together. That doesn't
mean it would be best for E. I will be very PO if E has
to bow to I dreams.

Don't see why he would. Their dreams seem to be pretty similar - fight!


message 21: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 They both may be warriors,but that is were their being
alike ends. Eibhear will not want to return to the south
and Izzy will not to go north.

Says who?


message 23: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Can't say anything for sure, but don't see Izzy giving
up being General Izzy and moving to the north. Don't see
Eibhear moving south where nobody respect him.


message 24: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Did you ladies give up trying to change my mind?


message 26: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Never thought you were the give up kind.


The Window Seat If there was a single thing we could agree on and work from there, I'd keep going. But I don't even agree that Eibhear has no respect from his family. They respect him more than they do Gwenvael. And that family shows love and respect with ribbing. So, I can't even agree with your basic premises, let alone the ideas of Izzy and Eibhear.


message 28: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Oh! We agree that E & I will end up together, just not
that it would be best for E. I will be very PO if E has
to crawl to I to get them together, that would just be
wrong.


message 29: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 I also think they {the family} has more respect for
Gwenvael who commands his own troops etc., than Eibhear
who must be protected or their mother will have their
asses.

THAT is NOT why they protect him. They protect him because he is their BABY brother, and always will be no matter how old they all are, and they LOVE him. And I personally hope, after all he has done, he has to crawl across hot coals on his hands and knees to win her back.


message 31: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 See that there is the big difference between us, I don't
think either one of them should have to crawl.


message 32: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Eibhear hasn't done anymore to Izzy than she done to him. So if he has to crawl so should she.


message 33: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 The problem is Eibhear might crawl because according to
his youngest sister he did her wrong. Izzy will never
crawl she's to proud and she thinks she's never wrong.


message 34: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 ONE last comment, I don't think crawling over hot coals
would bother a fire dragon to much.

Keita is NOT the only one who thinkgs that Eibhear did wrong. Brannie, Annwyl, Taliath, Breic. That is just naming the ones who have expressed it in some way. I am pretty sure that the list would go on if everyone weighed in. Even Rhona thinks that Eibhear and Izzy were equally at fault, but that is ONLY because Celyn and Eibhear were annoying her, not because she cared one way or the other or the topic. I'd say the only one who MAY consider Eibhear to be blameless is his other sister, Morfyyd, but even that is up in the air.


message 36: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 ONE - I don't remember Brannie or Annwyl every making a
comment on with happen. TWO - You read different books
if you think any of his brothers blamed Eibhear, they
said he should have kill Celyn.


The Window Seat Yes, Celyn. Not Izzy. They thought that Izzy was innocent and that Eibhear should have killed Celyn. They also thought, through all the previous books, that Eibhear was being an idiot for not admitting what he felt for Izzy.

Brannie did in the excerpt for HTDADC, at the end when she said he shouldn't have expected... while, you know. :) Annwyl made it seem like she was taking Izzy's side when she was running after Izzy up the hill while Eibhear and Celyn were fighting BUT it has been a long time and my exact memeory of her words is not strong. She said something like she was a virgin while in the army, but it certainly wasn't typical and Eibhear shouldn't have expected Izzy to remain as such. Or something along those lines....Either way, I don't see anyone blaming Izzy except Rhona and that blame was all about the hassle that Izzy caused FOR Rhona. She ammended her thinking as the book went on. As far as Eibhear is concerned. Quite a few openly blame him and that was with him running away at the end of the book. I am pretty excited to see all the ribbing his brothers will give him about it once he gets home. I am pretty sure they think he should crawl - if for no other reason then it would amuse them to watch.


message 38: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 I agree with your last line & that where any agreement
ends. I don't think Brannie comment in the excerpt show
support either way. As for Annwyl she trying to stay out
of it, she supports Izzy, but loves Eibhear her baby
brother-in-law.


message 39: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 I would like to see Eibhear screw Izzy, than leave and
go back to the icelands. Let her chase after him.


message 40: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 I don't mind getting Eibhear & Izzy together, but if any
one should have to crawl it should be Izzy.


message 41: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Up to a minority of FOUR.


message 42: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 4 months to go, if this keep up I might get up to a
minority of five or six.


message 43: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Message 37 - Outside of Izzy the only one to blame Eib-
hear for anything are Taliath with her double standard
& Keita with her round heels and her outlook on life.
At the end of book 5 Eibhear wasn't running from anything he was running toward what he saw as a better
life in the north.


message 44: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 There isn't to many males on this site, U R all females
taking the female point of view. I'm male and I am
taking the male point of view which is why we all dis-
agree on how Izzy & Eibhear should be handle.


message 45: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 And why does Izzy kept throwing everything at Eibhear
head.


The Window Seat Llsbear3 wrote: "And why does Izzy kept throwing everything at Eibhear

Cause his head is so hard and he deserves it.


message 47: by Llsbear3 (new)

Llsbear3 Really if anyone is hard-headed in the family its Izzy.


LouLou Hummm, was Izzy supposed to wait for Eibhear like a good little virgin? Eibhear rejected her over and over again. He made it clear that he didn't want her. The cousin however did. Was she supposed to say no Celyn, I must wait for the Dragon that does not want me. Hummm, what a boring little nut case she would be if she did that. Izzy is the kind of girl who wants what she wants and goes out and gets it. Eibhear had his chance to be with her, he had multiple chances thats why he was all nutty during the war. Eibhear has been spoiled by the women in his lift, he needed to grow up, Izzy however was raised by men, she agressive and goes for what she wants. The rolls are reversed here, thats all. If it was the other way around, (Eibhear sleeping with a cousin or friend of Izzy's) would you have a issue with them being together? I think not.


LouLou opps i meant life
