Giving The Dragon Fire by Victoria Jayne

5.0

Like Gideon & Ella, this book is giving FIRE! I loved it! Strong 5 Stars!

This is my first book by Victoria Jayne and I must say that she is off to an excellent start!

GIVING THE DRAGON FIRE introduces us to Gideon, a sexy Dragon shifter hiding in plain sight with others of his kind among unsuspecting humans. Out one night to unwind and have fun, Gideon meets Ella, a young woman who just graduated college and is out on the prowl with the same objective as Gideon; a fun night and a good time, with no strings attached before she begins a new job. But, also to celebrate and blow off a little bit of the celibacy steam she's been clinging to while remaining focused on her studies.

Both going into this knowing that this will be a one-shot deal, the two spend a night that would blow the roof off the Mt. St. Helens! Gideon tries as hard as he might not to reveal his true form of the dragon to Ella during their night of passion and Ella decides to be a little bolder than she has ever been. pushing her limits with this enigmatic stranger.

However, neither of them have any idea that their coupling has unlocked two new complications that guarantee this won't just be a "kiss and say goodbye" scenario.

*surprise-surprise* Gideon unknowingly forms a mating bond with Ella.
*surprise-surprise* Ella's new job is indirectly connected to Gideon.

*yikes*

The 'fated mates' trope has always been one of my paranormal 'go-to's, so GIVING THE DRAGON FIRE had me from the start. Gideon and Ella are electric together and their chemistry jumps directly off the pages and slams you back in your seat. Gideon's mouth was filthy (just how I like my MMCs) and Ella gave as good as she received, rising and matching his sexual energy and confidence. Their love scenes carried more heat that Gideon's Dragon fire and I found myself having to fan myself constantly!

Author Victoria Jayne does an amazing job at building this world of paranormal beings. The creation of a world of various shifters dwelling among humans in modern day society has created a plethora of opportunities for some amazing future books. The possibilities for spin-offs from this book are endless! I hope we get to see more of this amazing world that Jayne has built, introduced and warmly welcomed us into!

If you love a good fated mates story with plenty of steam, look no further. I wholly recommend this book and promise you that you will get an engaging storyline, funny supporting characters and a new book boyfriend to add on your neverending list!

Happy reading!
