My Wild Irish Dragon

by Ashlyn Chase

Overview

Take a walk into the wild unknown with Ashlyn Chase and a steamy paranormal romance that has everything you need for a perfect enemies-to-lovers romp:

1. A feisty dragon shifter heroine who hides in plain sight as a firefighter
2. A fiery phoenix shifter hero determined to prove himself
3. A competition that will leave them both breathless

When two shifters apply for the same position in the Boston fire department, it's a foregone conclusion that sparks will fly…

Dragon shifter Chloe Arish is hell-bent on becoming a Boston firefighter. She uses her Irish charm to score an interview, but that's only the beginning. She knows she has to work every bit as hard as a man to make the team—harder if she wants their respect. But she's got the heart of a dragon, and nothing is going to stand in her way.

Born into a legendary Boston firefighting family, phoenix shifter Ryan Fierro can't possibly let someone best him on the training course or the job. He'd never hear the end of it. When Chloe comes along determined to do just that, Ryan plots to win at any cost—until their sizzling chemistry turns explosive…

Editorial Reviews

Two candidates vie for one Boston firefighting job in Chase's flimsy second Boston Dragon paranormal romance. Chloe Arish is a 1,000-year-old Irish dragon; Ryan Fierro is a 40-year-old phoenix from a large family of Italian firefighters. It's love and hate at first sight, but after both are hired for the job they thought they were competing for, rivalry slowly turns to love. Neither knows of the existence of the other's species, a mutual obliviousness that Chase harps on to the point of cruelty. Chloe and Ryan make a cute couple, surrounded by loving and occasionally overbearing neighbors and family, but only Chloe's personality sizzles. Lively and fun love scenes contribute to an overall lightness in tone, but Chloe's virgin status, while explained away, is both baffling given her age and extraneous to a modern story line. And while many will appreciate the author's deft hand with humor, the lack of character development hampers the story. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, Seymour Agency. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly

"Readers will enjoy the banter as well as the steamy encounters that set them aflame. This is a great addition to Chase’s stellar library. 4 Stars." — RT Book Reviews

"This book would be for readers who enjoy paranormal stories featuring shifters." — Harlequin Junkie

"Fantastic. As always with this author, the cast of characters keeps me laughing out loud while losing my heart to them all. Her ability to weave a story that singes your eyebrows but soothes your heart is magical. I mean really how can you not fall in love with this book, sexy firefighters, both male and female, magical creatures that use their powers for good, a snarky Mother Nature, interfering family members and some charming Irish accents? Seriously, if you haven’t read this one yet, I highly suggest you get it as soon as possible." — Night Owls Reviews, Top Pick!

Chloe Arish has a single goal in her new life in Boston, and Ryan Fierro is the only person who can get in her way.Chloe, a 1,000-year-old dragon shifter—who's fireproof!—wants nothing more than to be a Boston firefighter, and a highly coveted position has opened in her local station. After passing the preliminary exams with flying colors, only one thing stands in her way: Ryan, a member of a popular Boston firefighting family, who passed with similarly flying colors. For him, getting the job would not just be a matter of personal pride, but of family pride as well, since this was his father's station before he retired. When the captain finds a way to hire both of them, they find themselves alternating between icy barbs and hot stares. They eventually develop a respectful working relationship, even if Ryan’s need to protect Chloe occasionally makes him embarrass himself. Their "working relationship" evolves into a different kind of relationship, but all kinds of things begin to interfere. If their relationship is discovered, one or both of them might be transferred, and a surprise proposition from a family member visiting from Ireland presents different kinds of complications. Not to mention the fact that Ryan and his family are shifters as well: legendary phoenixes, of all things. Even so, there isn’t a lot of tension or surprise in the second book of the Boston Dragons series, just a few challenges that will obviously be overcome. The supporting cast, including the hilarious Mother Nature, brings something extra to a story that features gaps in the plotline and head-scratching changes in character personality. A fun, readable, if predicable paranormal romance that explores a world beyond vampires and your typical run-of-the-mill animal shape-shifting species.
