1: I can't BELIEVE I'm saying this....
...but there's TOO MUCH SEX in this book!!! By which I mean, honestly, it's just boring. Too much fire, too much panting, too many little bites and kisses, etc etc etc, frankly, ad nauseum. I have long enjoyed Ms. MacAlister's writing, plot and character development, and sexy love scenes, and recognize that I'm not reading Proust here (or whoever), but enough is enough -- and is, in fact, too much! Bleah. Who knew you could be bored by sex scenes?! But as it turn out, you can! I only hope my next read of hers focuses even just a little bit more on the story arc and character quirks at which she's usually so expert (which, by the way, is why she gets 2 and not 1 star for this effort).

2: Done with This Series!
I have read all of the Aisling Grey books by "Katie Mac." I think I have come to the point, when they are getting too boring for me. Time for a different direction for this author.

3: Holy Smokes
Aisling Grey is a Gurardian, a demon wrangler. She is also a demon lord. Aisling doesn't want to be a demon lord but doesn't know how to get out of it without upsetting the people of Abaddon who would then wreak havoc in the mortal world.
Drake Vireo is a wyvern, the leader of the green dragon sept. He and Aisling are mates, or were mates until Fiat, the wyvern of the blue dragons, cheated and made Aisling his instead.
Aisling has been damned; she now has the dark power within her. She is desperate to be rid of Fiat and marry Drake. Drake keeps disappearing though. Can they save the world, themselves, and be on time for their wedding?
Katie MacAlister's imaginative storylines, seductive heroes and witty heroines never fail to entertain and Holy Smokes is no exception. There is action, suspense, and drama along with out of this world scenarios and red hot passion between Drake and Aisling. This is the first Aisling Grey novel I have read. I felt a bit lost at times because there is a lot going on and a ton of back story, so I would recommend reading the books in order.

4: "Holy Smokes! That was Awesome"!
Aisling Grey, Guardian, Demon lord, Prince of Abbadon, and wyvern mate is finally going to be made an honest woman by Drake (her dragon "sweetie"). She will have to overcome a few things first, of course, since nothing is easy where she is concerned.
To start off the fun, the Red Sept has not given up its feud with Aisling, Drake and the Green Sept; they are causing all kinds of trouble for them. Aisling is trying to keep all of this and the Otherworld stuff from her human step-mom and dad, along with her tough Uncle who are in town for the wedding. Then Drake goes missing on their wedding day!
Aisling starts being proactive and sets out to find and rescue Drake; in the process learns a lot more about the different Dragon Septs and regains some trust for Gabriel. As always Jim is by her side offering his colorful comments and whining about food or how he is being treated. Through all of this the Dark voice in her head won't shut up and Bael requires something from Aisling that she is not prepared to give.
What can I say but "Holy Smokes! That was Awesome"! Katie MacAlister continues to deliver with this fourth installment in her Aisling Grey Guardian series. Action, sexy dragons, magic, sarcastic sidekick demon (in a wonderful Newfie form), Lord of the Underworld, relatives, a little B & E, a wedding and did I say sexy dragons, all delivered with her signature humor and style.
What I loved most about this book is that we got to see Aisling step up to the plate and really figure things out this time (without getting herself deeper into trouble) and that the romance is still there between Aisling and Drake. There is a major amount of closure at the end and I am not sure if this means there will be no more Aisling books or not; but do not fear for she has a new book due out in May also set in this world. I do not know how she keeps coming up with these great stories but they are golden to me and they are on my keeper shelf (maybe I have a little dragon in me).
