My Wild Irish Dragon
Ashlyn Chase
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Rating: 7/10

Chloe Arish is a thousand-year-old dragon shifter who wants to work in Boston as a firefighter. She and her family have moved to the states from Ireland after leaving/being kicked out of their home in Ireland. Ryan Fierro is a phoenix shifter that is part of a long line of Boston firefighting phoenixes. There is only one job open in the area for both shifters, and now they have to fight for it. Neither knows the other is anything but human, which leads to some awkward situations involving an apartment full of magical creatures and mother nature. Sparks fly between the two, and not all of them are from the fire.

Romance
Steamy. Sexy. Hot. Did you really expect anything less from a romance about fire shifters? Cheesy as hell, yes, but hot as hell too. The romance takes a bit to build between the two, which makes it more believable for me, but when it does finally work, man does it work!

Plot
Typical romance novel plot, but I'm not disappointed with the execution. It was romantic, and it was a bit cheesy. A little bit too much of that cheese got it a 7/10 score, but I liked it nontheless. You do almost want to pull your hair out and just tell the characters they are both shifters. That is a big problem for a good chunk of the book. The author throws in problems that really don't need to be there, but by-and-large they get resolved.

Voice
Sassy, smart, and tough is the voice of Chloe. A little different from your classic romance protagonist, but not by much. Still very lovable, despite her very annoying stubborn nature. Ryan is understanding, kind, and a little cocky. Also slightly different from your typical male protagonist in a romance, but again not by much. You want to hate his family after a bit though. You can't because he doesn't, which is a bummer.
