really liked it
bookshelves: paranormal, romance

It is up to her usual standards, in this novel several plots that have been floating around get resolved. It almost felt like the finale of the series, but I won't know that until or if another book gets back.

As usual, she puts Aisling the main character and her love Drake through hoops. She has all kinds of things happen to her most of her hijinks relate to the two of them trying to get married and having crises coming up which prevent said nuptials to take place. Reminds me a bit of Betsy from MaryJanice Davidson's vampire queen series in its humor. My favorite character is Jim the Newfoundland dog/demon former angel sidekick of hers, and if you read the book you will see why, he has a quirky but funny sense of humor. Just imagine someone with an impish humor inhabiting a dog's form, and you get the idea.

If you haven't read the rest of the series though, go and read them first and you won't regret it.

Laura Isn't Jim a hoot? He just cracked me up. MacAlister really worked a miracle with Jim....the timing of the humor in his dialogue was perfect over and over again in all 4 novels. Amazing! He's one of the best things about this series, beside Drake, who I really liked a lot too. I know he's a man/dragon, but MacAlister really made him hot (grin)!
