This is by far the best dragon book I have read since Dragonbound by Thea Harrison. In fact, its one of the best fantasy romance books I have ever read. In fact, it's one of the best books I have ever read. I just cannot wait for March for the next book in this series. There were a lot of open issues left at the end of this book I need resolved ASAP! No cliff hanger - but the story definitely continues for the H and h and other characters as well. Its been a while since a book really grabbed my

An intelligent h. I know I was startled to. Great story. Romance, action. Pleasantly surprised that it is the start of a new series but with so many strings to still tie up I shouldn't be surprised.

Freyja is in a tough spot, running a small farm and looking after her ailing father when the unthinkable happens and the long feared dragon that lives in the nearby volcano steals the only ram they own. Most people would be absolutely terrified but knowing their livelihood is at risk something just snaps in Freyja and she goes up the mountain to take back her ram !

Great intro to series with dragon H, and interesting human heroine. Her community picked on her because she's different, and the H falls for her very quickly, and takes him some time to realise she's his true mate. There are many elements to the plot, seamlessly woven into their love story. It was great but I found the beginning a bit slow. It ramped up around 45% - and it was a great finish.

HEART OF FIRE - I’ve long been a fan of Bec McMaster‘s steampunk novels. She takes on dragons here — and I do love dragons! — with splendid results. Her worldbuilding is terrific, as is the romance between Freyja and Rurik. Set in long-ago Iceland, McMaster fills Heart of Fire with passion, action, and a thrilling climax. It’s the first in her promised series, Legends of the Storm, and I’m eager to read on.
Can't wait to read more!!

McMaster is an amazing writer. HEART OF FIRE is a wonderful blend of nordic mythology, vivid world-building, and powerful romance.
I enjoyed the story, but it took awhile for me to warm up to these characters and really get into the story. The latter part was intense and exciting. I also liked the mythology and the idea of dreki shifters - it was certainly a first for me and I admit I'm curious to see where Book 2 takes us. There are quite a lot of open possibilities, both for main H/h as well as supporting characters.
