I enjoyed this writer much more than most paranormal writers out there and I’ve read waaayyy too much paranormal romance, I keep coming back for more though looking for the next interesting storyline and great writers keep pulling me back, this is one of them. I wish the story had kept going or had even more plot development because I was really enjoying the characters she presented.
I really enjoyed Tempted by Fire. Erin Kellison’s inventive imagination puts a slightly different spin on the human female/dragon-shifting male trope. The hero is the one who is most tempted, not by dragon-fire, but by the heroine’s fiery spirit. When it turns out she’s more than he bargained for in unexpected ways - well, some temptations are too much to resist….
This book is super great. That really covers it for sure. I did not get free anything to write this and I as a rule don't do reviews but sometimes an author new or old hits a home run on something and they deserve the praise and also I want people to see this and give it a try. Ik they're are tons of shifter type books but this one is very original and wonderful world building. I believe this is a new author and I know I want the writing to continue I couldn't wait for book 3 to arrive and am now reading it I have no doubts it will again be worth the money and honestly I'd pay more. Some of these well knowns make a killing and are getting tired and sort of same thing different title this isn't the case here at all. Can't rave enough about this series gets better and better. Intrigued within just a chapter, hooked within 3!!!
I rec'd this book free for an honest review. I absolutely loved it! It was actually "cute" and I found myself smiling. I didn't want it to end! I can't wait to read the second book- Awakened by Fire
Provided by publisher for honest review. This was a good read. All I have read by this author has been worth the time spent!
4.5/5
Tempted by Fire is Erin Kellison's first book in her Dragons of Bloodfire series. Kellison brilliantly lined the pages with deep character and world building, creating a page turner until the end.
My least favorite thing about this book was the length. I wanted more! Even with the lean number of pages, Kellison manages to pack a surprising amount of back story for several of the characters onto the pages. Their backstories really made the characters into people you wanted to know more about.
Kellison pulls away from the typical romance cliche of the two love interests having a falling out and one of them having to come around or make up for some huge mistake. Thane and Emerson's dance was more of a gentle glide of two people simply connecting, regardless of their differences. Both of these individuals were likeable in their own right and all in all the story was brilliantly written.
The world Kellison created was a unique view of dragons. Although, we only got a taste of the entire world It truly left me wanting more!
I think any lover of paranormal romance will enjoy Tempted by Fire.

Love thane and Ember.
A good read.
I love the stories Erin writes. This story of Thane and Ember has so much action as well as love. I loved the dragons. Such a twist in the ending I did not see coming. Wolves are special and I enjoy them. This was a book that kept you guessing all thru the book. You will become involved and not be able to put it down. Love the characters and the action of the story. Really loved Matthew who was Thanes special guard, houseman. More like family than anything. Its just filled with wonder and I loved it. Thanks Erin.
I received an ARC copy of Tempted By Fire for an honest review and, honestly, I have mixed feelings. The story itself was very engaging. I am new to this author's work, but I really got caught up in the characters quickly. I read this book the day I received it and it was a quick read. The characters were well developed and the story drew me in, though I felt like there were things that I was missing. The book is a stand alone, but I felt like maybe, even though this was the first book in the series, I had missed some background or history that would have helped me understand the characters better.
Overall, I would have given the book a 3.5 if I were able, but that wasn't an option, so I rounded up. I liked the story but felt like the ending was very abrupt and the story wasn't complete. Furthermore, there are obviously going to be more books in the series, but the reader really isn't given a clear indication if future books will be about the same characters or if they will focus on other characters. It wasn't a cliffhanger ending, but it just left me with questions. I will definitely read future books in this series because I can certainly see the potential and I may even look up other books that were released previously to see if this sort of ending is the norm. I love dragons and dragon shifters aren't featured often, so I am hopeful that this will develop into a really great series.
Gifted copy for honest review.
I loved reading Tempted by Fire. The characters Thane and Emerson were great. The story was outstanding, you have dragon shifters, wolf and even a vampire. I highly recommend this to anyone into paranormal romance.
