"I probably should have read the rest of the Aisling Grey series before reading this one. I've only read the first and there was a lot of references in this book to what I can only assume were events of the remaining 3. I'll finish that series before coming back to this one but with the cliffhanger ending and the fact that May is way less annoying then the somewhat ditzy (but still loveable) Aisling, that will be hard to do. Oh well, at least Drake is way better in bed since Gabriel has all those difficulties with foreplay. Hopefully Aisling gives up on resisting him soon! :P"

“The most amazing thing about this erotic romance/fantasy/mystery is how Rosenblat makes May’s detailed descriptions of dragon love sound so everyday normal and natural. This is fantasy for grown-ups. Bodice-ripping listening, indeed!”
— AudioFile" My only disappointment was with the ending. "
— PastAllReason, 2/15/2014" Gabriel is adorable and totally deserved his own series. I was so excited when he got his own. May is earnest and "solid" and good for him. The crazy wacky demon fun in this book keeps you reading with a smile. "
— Amanda, 12/13/2013" Listening to the audio book narrated by Barbara Rosenblatt. She does a great job with accents. "
— Po, 12/8/2013" Really enjoyed reading this book. Another winner for Katie!!! "
— Beverly, 11/20/2013" Tooo Toooo Cute! Loved it! "
— Mical, 10/12/2013" Like Aisling Grey's copycat little sister. "
— Kerry, 10/10/2013" I really enjoyed this as the first of a series but parts of it become a little repetitive. The plot is well thought out and more unusual then a lot of this genre. Have read the second on the series which is good also but very much more of the same, but am now on the third and am reserving judgement. "
— Pamela, 9/22/2013" As if I need to say... awesome, quirky, funny, steamy. Love it. "
— Buffy, 9/17/2013" Good book and I had to start the second book in the series, "Up in Smoke", right afterwards with no break in between from another genre like I usually do when I read books. "
— Karen, 5/11/2013" I have to say after the Aisling series I was slightly disappointed with this book. It still had some humor and some fun parts but it just wasn't as steamy. The characters were fun but not as well developed as in the green dragons. I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as I had hoped. "
— Cindy, 11/26/2012" just as good as the other Aisly gray novels. "
— Kathi, 10/17/2012" This series is a spin off of the Aisling Grey series. And although it has most of the same characters, I did not like it as much. "
— Corrie, 10/9/2012" Full of funny situations, great story, steamy love situations, loved all the books. "
— Susan, 8/10/2012" This book is like a mirror opposite of the other dragon book. I don't like Gabriel as much as Drake, but I like May more than Aisling. Go figure. Still a good book. "
— Alice, 7/19/2012" This book was good, not quite up to the Aisling Grey books, I miss Jim the demon dog, but I am happy to see Drake and Aisling in this series.. "
— Amber, 6/28/2012" I love Katie McAlister's books and the series about the dragons are some of the best. Funny, touching at time, and really enjoyable. "
— Sally, 12/20/2011" I really liked this book and I can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens. "
— Jennifer, 9/21/2011" Interesting plot. I feel I've missed out on a whole heap of info from the first series, so I would recommend people read that one first. Perfect if you're looking for something smutty. "
— Rebecca, 4/4/2011" Another fun series with the Silver Dragons. They brought back Jim the Demon! "
— Carolyn, 3/3/2011" A fun sexy romp with a dragonish twist. McAlister displays her wit in this fast read. Fans of Aisling Grey will not be disapointed! "
— Jennydall, 2/19/2011" I liked the Aisling Grey series, but this is just the same story all over again. I don't know why I bothered with it. I needed something light, I guess. "
— Tacuazin, 2/17/2011" ...so funny book!! xD 5 stars for the storyline and the many "laught-out-loud" scenes "
— Dia, 2/11/2011" I love Katie McAlister's books and the series about the dragons are some of the best. Funny, touching at time, and really enjoyable. "
— Sally, 1/24/2011" Very different story of dragons, demons and dopplegangners set in modern day.... can't wait for book 2. "
— Julie, 1/21/2011" So much fun! An interesting twisty plot with some characters that on the surface seem to me cliche but turn out to have unexpected depths. Plenty of romance and some gentle goofy humor. Total win. "
— Siobhan, 1/16/2011" the book was ok but the drake/aisling story was better. <br/>it's the first book of the new silver dragons edition....see what happend in the next book. "
— Bussi, 1/14/2011" It was a great book and I look foward to reading the other 3 in the series...as soon as I can get to a library that has them. The suspense is KILLING ME!!! "
— Shakeyna, 1/5/2011" Campy, slap-stick and still manages to be funny in places. Will read 2. "
— Zaanodes, 12/13/2010" I loved it. It's a spin off of the Aisling grey series. I beleive this is going to be better than that one. The ending left me pleading for more. "
— Andrea, 12/6/2010" I have to say after the Aisling series I was slightly disappointed with this book. It still had some humor and some fun parts but it just wasn't as steamy. The characters were fun but not as well developed as in the green dragons. I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as I had hoped. "
— Cindy, 11/24/2010" Wow. And I thought the Guardian series was good. I am loving Gabriel and May. "
