Her canine helper from the underworld only makes matters worse. Too bad she used the cheapest possible conjuring ingredients-resulting in an inept outcast demon in the form of a hilarious shaggy-haired Newfoundland. When Aisling decides to fight fire with fire (no pun intended), she summons up a demon. Thus begins the wonderful tension between these two characters. Consequently, Aisling is robbed of the golden bowl she was supposed to deliver to the dead woman. (If you are like me, not experts on dragon lore, a wyvern is leader of a dragon pack.) Naturally, dragons crave treasure. Drake Vireo is wyvern of the green fire-breathing dragons. Not only is he an extremely masculine hero, but at times, I actually visualize him vacillating between dragon and man. It amazes me how the author weaves this complex mystical hero's character so vividly. Her first job goes terribly awry when she lands in Paris with a French phrase book, a priceless relic in her briefcase, and a delivery address that leads her to a dead patroness. Wait till you see the mess she gets herself into.Īisling has a surfer dude ex-husband to support, so she hires on as a courier for her uncle's business. Bravo! She certainly knows how to weave a tale! Her heroine, Aisling Grey, scores high with a delightful mix of clueless-ness and bravado. I started reading with some skepticism because the book is written in first person. I admit it-I'm a jaded author who thought she'd seen it all. It's been several years since I had this much fun reading a book. Reviewed by Kathleen Baldwin, romance novelist
