review 1: When I read the first book, I said that it reminded me of something I couldn't put my finger on. This time around, it was plain to see... this series is like a dragon version of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. Now I know that nobody can call dibs on an idea for a series but you have to take into mind that the first BDB book was released back in 2005 and I've seen more than one author borderline rip off the world that J.R. Ward made. I had the same problem with the Midnight Breed series when I first started reading it and I hope as I did with that series, I can get over the similarities to BDB and come to like the Dragonfury books based on own strengths.As for how I found Fury of Ice, I saw the potential of the book but the author didn't pull it off completely. I tried ... moreto get over the similarities to the BDB books but it was a bit too obvious in this instalment to the series. Mac reminded me too much of Butch and Rikar was giving off Rhage vibes and on top of that the way the 'matings' work were similar as well.I love dragon shifters the most out of all the shifters I've ever read about so that fact alone will allow me to like these books. The characters are there already... I like Rikar, Forge and I want to see more of Wicker but for me to love these books and to keep me as a reader, the author needs to step up her game and move away from BDB styled world she's created and make this series her own. I will be reading the other books in the series to see where it goes just out of curiosity.
review 2: Fury of Ice is the second book in the dragonfury series by Coreeen Callahan. I was able to obtain this through Audible, and since I have a love for audiobooks, I knew I had to get this through an audiobook. I do love a steamy shifter romance, but when you put dragons in the mix, the heat level on rises...mmm deliciousness in one book, who can resist??? Fury of Ice is Rikar's story, we continue on from the last book, where Angela ends up being kidnapped by dragons with a evil agenda. Angela is a detective, and is tough as nails, but being forced to feed the Razorback, Lothaire.. Angela's strength is almost depleted, when a chance to escape opens up and she barely escapes with the help of Rikar coming to her rescue. Rikar and Angela are mates, and Angela is suffered from a form of PTSD, and Rikar is her anchor. With danger surrounding them, will Angela and Rikar be able to form the mating bond without losing one another to the enemy?Fury of Ice is a fantastic shifter romance, and I do love dragons. They are so passionate and fierce, and I totally take it in for all its worth. After reading the first one, I have been waiting to read Rikar and Angela's story. Even though I am not huge on the battle ready heroines, I really admired Angela, she was a very endearing characters, that instantly pulled at my heartstrings. From the beginning of the story you see how much that she has suffered at the hands of Lothaire, and I admire her courage and stubbornness to survive, she never gives up. Rikar is not going to give up on Angela, no matter what. Rikar is quite a swoon worthy hero, I would trade places with Angela any time. Rikar is a warrior, second in command, and definitely has the Alpha Male routine going on, but there are times where you love the way he is with Angela. He gives her room to breathe and make decisions for herself and tries not to push her too hard. I enjoyed seeing these two together, and what chemistry!! I thought my room would turn into flames, with that these two characters were dishing out. We do see a sub plot, with Angela's partner who ends up being a fledgling water dragon (way cool right?), and the circumstances of his future mate which was a good start for the next book which is their story.A suspenseful plot, that is packed with action, sexy dragon shifters, tender romance and a story to bring a tear or two to your eyes, and barks of laughter at other times. A story full of everything that makes a paranormal romance, Brilliantly well done...worth every penny!! Fully recommended. less
