Great Reviews for FireDrake

5 Hearts from The Romance Studio! Rosalyn Writer said: "Ms. D’Arc certainly did NOT disappoint...it is very easy to lose oneself in the storyline...I would HIGHLY recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a delightful foray into the realm of dragons, knights, and fantasy. It is by far one of the best series this reader has ever had the pleasure of reading."

10 from The Howling Scribe! "Though I have loved all the books in this series; I think this was by far the best of the series...I think that I can say with utmost confidence that Krysta is my new favorite heroine...Overall, this book gets an outstanding 10."

“Feel better, sweetheart?” He knew she was calmer after receiving his healing energy, but he wanted her to acknowledge it. She smiled faintly and his hands fell back to his sides.

“Why did you kiss me?”

He shrugged, a roguish smile on his lips. “I couldn’t help myself. I’ve dreamed about you, you know.”

“Don’t rush her, idiot!” Mike’s scowling voice sounded through his brain. “We can’t afford to scare her off.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

She tilted her head and smiled up at him, slightly embarrassed at his admission.

“I’m glad, though I don’t deserve your attention. I’ve been so callous to you both. I don’t understand how you can be so kind to me now.”

“Join in anytime here, Mike. She needs to see us as a pair. If we’re going to get her help getting out of here, she has to realize from the start that we travel as a set.”

Mike came over to stand beside his cousin, facing her.

“You were always as fair with us as you could be given your lack of understanding of our emotions. We like you, Jaci.” Mike dared to stroke her cheek and move in closer.

“Kiss her, Mike.”

Mike needed no further urging from his manipulative cousin. He pulled her into his arms and bent slightly to take her lips more fully than Dave had, sending his tongue to stroke her hot lips and slide intimately within. She squirmed closer, her temperature rising appreciably as he delved deep into her mouth.

“That’s enough. We don’t want to scare her off, I believe you just said?” Dave’s voice was disapproving as he watched them with narrowed eyes. Mike winked at him over her shoulder as he lifted away from her all too tempting lips.

“You kiss like a dream, Jaci.” He liked the look of her flushed face, the sparkle in her eyes. “I’ll dream of you tonight.” He kissed her eyes, eliciting a soft moan from deep in her throat.

Dave came up behind her, sandwiching her warm body between the two cousins, surrounding her in their heat. They both could feel her increased heart rate as Dave leaned in to nip at the tender skin where her shoulder met her neck.

“My people don’t dream much, but since the accident, I’ve been waking in the night with strange images in my head.”

“Did your ancestors dream before they started tinkering with your genetic code?” Dave kept his tone gentle.

She nodded, leaning back against him. “There are stories of dreams so violent that warriors would wake with their weapons in their hands and kill the first person they saw. My ancestors were even more violent than your human predecessors.”

“Well, I want you to dream only of us, Jaci. Happy dreams. Dreams of pleasure and understanding.” Mike breathed in her ear as Dave laid his healing hands on her once more, reinforcing the thought.

“Dream of us tonight, sweetheart, and know that you are not alone.” Dave whispered into her other ear as his energy zinged through her once more, calming and reassuring.
