A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Leslee
This is a wonderful third installment in the saga of the Pyr. We are treated to the leader of the Pyr’s firestorm with the reincarnation of his first mate. Erik is visited by Sophie, The Wyvern, who reveals his mate has been reborn into Eileen Grosvenor, Ph.D. Eileen has been called by her old college roommate to view a curious set of artifacts to help identify what they might have come from. What she finds is The Dragon’s Teeth that the Pyr have been searching for in order to build a Pyr army to fight the Slayers. While she is in the vault viewing them, Slayers arrive and slaughter her friend before her eyes. Luckily Erik arrives to save her and the teeth. Will Eileen be stronger than she was in her past life and accept Erik and his world?
This was an intense ride. Ms. Cooke has a great talent, letting the story unfold a little more in each book in this series. There were some deep tangible moments of emotion between Erik, Eileen, and Erik’s son, Sigmund. The plot is very cohesive and well thought out. Each mate has become a partner, not just a possession which I really like. Also, the Pyr and their mates are involved in the fight. They contribute to the struggle and don’t just show up because it is a series and thus expected. I would urge everyone, if you love paranormal romance in any way, this is a series you should be following.

Book Blurb for Kiss of Fate
Haunted by dreams of a lover who takes the form of a mythical dragon, Eileen Grosvenor searches for the truth. She never expects to find a real dragon shape shifter, let alone one who who awakens her passion and ignites memories of her own forgotten past.
Erik Sorensson is focused on leading the Pyr to triumph against the Slayers at all costs, even the sacrifice of his own life. When an ancient relic that can turn the tide of the battle reveals itself again, Erik knows he has to retrieve it from Eileen's possession. But he’s shocked by an incredible firestorm when he tries to claim the relic — a firestorm that forces him to confront the truth about Eileen’s identity. Her presence touches him in unexpected ways, reminding him of mistakes he's determined to not make again, and Erik is forced to make a choice…duty or love.
Only by unlocking the secrets of the past can Erik and Eileen fulfill the final prophecy of the Pyr - but can they face their deepest fears and claim their destined love in time to defeat the Slayers?
Focus: Erik - the Leader of the Pyr
