Go Aisling!
Still strong, still funny, still sexy!

Just fun reading...not heavy literature, just a plain old good time!

P.S. I want a Jim of my own.... ( )

Gave it a 5 'cause of the hilarity, action, suspense, but my fave book out of the series is still the 2nd one (Fire Me Up). More mysteries unravel in this book, what with Aisling confirming she is indeed breeding, Drake is more protective than ever, and I really liked Uncle Damian's character, he reminded me of Robert De Niro in "Meet the Parents". Although this is the last book in the series, there are new characters and surprising events which lead to more questions. I give credit to Katie MacAlister for having answered them, explaining the history and providing us all with happy endings. She really got creative here, I liked the fight scenes, the Aisling-and-Drake scenes, and the lovable Jim's snarky comments. There were rekindled relationships and new ones. This is a great paranormal series, very interesting, and out-of-this-world, and if you just want fun and not-so-seriousness, I highly recommend it. ( )

Very good continuation of the series, I would get this series if you haven't yet they are hilarious. ( )

In this book Aisling keeps tryingto get married but her duties as a guardian and as a demon lord pull her away from one attempt, while her grooms duties as a dragon pull him away from another. The idea of the story is ok, but I find it difficult to understand why Aisling would want to marry her groom when he has a cave-man "I am he-man, I make all decisions" mentality. His secret-keeping attitude tends to create many unnecessary problems. ( )

Aisling gives new meaning to the saying "try and try again" as she and Drake attempt to get it together long enough to swap their marriage vows. Another very cute installment in the urban fantasy/paranormal romance series.

Now....on to the part where I speak of spoilers! Reader Beware!!

There were a couple things I just had to bring forward about my reading. One is, what the heck was up with the dream Aisling had about rescuing Drake? With Drake vehemently denying he sent it to her himself one would have thought this was a mystery to be solved. However, this little plot point trailed off without answer. I hate it when stories do that.

Also had to mention my favorite LOL part when Jim regained his second shape as a small Scottish Terrier. A big difference from the Newfie form he was used to! It was just so cute to picture. "Fires of Abaddon, Ash! I wasn't done picking a form! I was just looking at this one! Oh, man, I'm a midget!" :-) ( )

You will enjoy this book if you love a main character who "wonder[s] if there was ever going to be a time when she wasn't at least five paces behind everyone else, mentally speaking" (p.128) and additionally wonders if "[t]his is going to be another one of those days where people start talking about stuff like she knows what's going on, only she really doesn't, and she spends the whole time trying to catch up" (p. 137). The author uses the main character's willful ignorance and deliberate stupidity as an excuse not to have a plot or character development. Even if this were the only book available to read, your time would be better spent balancing your checkbook or cleaning the toilet. This book gets a half star only because librarything doesn't have a system set up to give negative stars. ( )

In which Aisling is pregnant, proscribed, almost makes it to the alter on multiple occasions, and can't shut her aunt up. On the plus side, Drake has finally admitted he loves her. As usual, she's continually getting into trouble.

Maybe I'm tired, but this installment doesn't seem to have quite the zing and snap of the earlier Aisling. She's either sobbing, yelling, banishing poor Jim to Alkasha, or attacking Drake for hot steamy sex. The new characters are sort of flat -- Aunt Paula gives me a headache! It picks up somewhat at the end, but it just really felt as if MacAlister dashed this one off in a hurry. ( )

Great fourth book in the series. Effrajim the demon is still the standout side-kick character and the hijinks that Aisling gets into as well as the romance are top notch in this book. ( )

The newest in the Aisling Grey series. ( )
