About this listen

Paris! City of dreams - or shifter nightmares?

Natalie Brewer has come to Paris to live out a dream, not a nightmare. Then a vampire attack exposes her to a whole new side to the City of Lights - and to her own heritage. Before she knows it, she’s swept into a world she never imagined, with gargoyles, werewolves, and dragons who claim she’s descended from a legendary shifter queen. Now her life is in danger, and it’s impossible to know who to trust, other than the mysterious stranger who risks his life for her again and again.

After a decade in the Foreign Legion, all dragon shifter Tristan Chevalier wants is to settle into a civilian life and a new job. His mission: to prove himself to the Guardians of Paris and to protect the city. But all that is threatened when an innocent woman stumbles into his life - and into his heart. Being appointed her bodyguard is a blessing and a curse, because Natalie is absolutely, positively off-limits despite the smoldering desire they both feel. Worse, every shifter in Paris has set their sights on her, from bloodthirsty vampires to power-hungry dragons and jealous rivals. For Tristan, it’s the test of a lifetime, and the outcome will affect the fortunes of an entire city.

Anna Lowe’s Fire Maidens: Billionaires & Bodyguards series: A series of sizzling paranormal romances with adult content. Each story is a pause-resister packed with action, emotion, and romance!

Another great shifter series from Anna Lowe

This is going to be a great series. We move from Hawaii to Europe for this one, which is sort of an offshoot from Jewels of the Heart and Pearls of Desire. While you don't have to read either of these two series to understand this one, you should just because they are fantastic! I love Anna's narrator. Kelsey is the voice I always hear in my head when I read Anna's books. She brings the characters to life for me.

Natalie has followed her dream and come to Paris. She is all alone in the city of love but she isn't really here to find love, she is here to explore Paris and help out the less fortunate. She works to support herself, but she volunteers at a soup kitchen to give back. Her French is not the best and she uses the opportunity to improve it and to learn about the lives of those she meets there. She had never been one to believe in the supernatural, but lately she has been having strange dreams about, of all things, vampires. When a strange man comes into the soup kitchen she is not sure why she feels he is there to watch her, but for some reason he seems to be connected to the strange dreams. Vampire. Really? No, it must be her imagination.

Tristan has been hired by the guardians of Paris to patrol and report on vampire activity. He is drawn to one of the city's soup kitchens because of one of the volunteers. When he drops in hoping to catch a glimpse of her he is immediately on alert when he senses a vampire presence. It doesn't take him long to determine that the vampire is there for the same reason he is, Natalie.

So starts a life changing night for both Natalie and Tristan. It seems she is one of the sought after Fire Maidens whose presence in their specified city brings power and stability to the shifters who reside there and also, by association, the human population. Tristan's dragon has declared Natalie is his mate, but how can someone like him possibly be mates with someone as special as a Fire Maiden? There is no way the Guardians are going to allow that to happen.

We also get to meet Liam, who will get his story in book 2. Love me a lion shifter.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

A Delightful Listen

I am loving this new series by Ms. Lowe. It's fun with lots of humor and suspense. Can't forget to mention it takes place in Paris, beautiful Paris. What more can we want with a sweet romance story.

Ms. Osborne did a lovely job with the narration.

I enjoyed the story. While it mostly follows the pattern of the previous series, there were a couple of twists that surprised and please me. It kept the story fresh and engaging.

Natalie is a sweet yet feisty heroine with a heart for the downtrodden and no room for snobbery. Tristan is practically perfect in every way. He's strong, handsome, fearless, and noble. He's also determined to protect Natalie and make sure she has the final say in her life.

I loved the secondary characters in the guardians group, especially Clara and Hugo. They are so sweet and adorable.
I also enjoyed Liam, the lion shifter. In many ways he reminded me of Del from the "Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire" series. There is obviously a backstory with him which I can't wait to learn about in the next story.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

Love This Pair

I really liked this story. Both the heroine and the hero are wonderful characters. Some of the shifter world has a lot to be desired, it seems the older you get the worst your personality becomes. I enjoyed the action that happens right from the beginning of the book. The narrator was good distinguishing voices, making the story more enjoyable. I seem to understand the dragon, wolves, and even the gargoyles behavior, but the vampires seem mysterious. They're behavior doesn't match up with anything they say, and what do they really gain, but some power from some blood they drink which will probably burn out after their body consumes her blood in their veins. It seems like a waste to me. The only drawback on the book is the pity party that Tristan keeps having. Here is where Tristan fails as a self respecting dragon, as he lets his Fire Maiden talk the King of Dragons into letting her have a mate of her choosing.

Fun and Entertaining!

I listen to the audio version and the narrator did a good job. I do wish she had a bit more depth to her voice at times, but overall, this is a solid performance.


Exciting new series! Loved the premise with the whole fire maiden scenario and that the books in the series will take place in different European cities. Here's hoping for cities in Ireland and Scotland! This one is in Paris, and it was fun to touch on some of Paris' attractions. Natalie is surprised to learn that supernatural entities exist; vampires, shifters, etc., but she's even more surprised to learn that she may have more to do with that world than she anticipated. She ends up meeting Tristan; a dragon shifter, who helps protect and support Natalie. Unfortunately, old fashioned ideals get in the way of their connection. Also, an unfortunate, stuck-up supernatural gets in the way as well. The vampires aren't exactly making things easy for Natalie as well, so she's dealing with a whole lot. I love the whole mate connection, and Tristan and Natalie are really sweet together. I do wish Natalie felt a bit more for Tristan or that what she feeling came across better, but overall, they have good chemistry and definitely some heat between them. Entertaining adventure for Natalie and Tristan! I'm really excited to read the next book!

Fantastic Start to A New Exciting Series


Fantastic Start to A New Exciting Series
This is the first book in what I think is going to be another great hit for this talented author. It is a standalone series which again features some great characters. This book is about Natalie and her Mate Tristan.

Natalie believes herself to be totally human, she has grown up knowing nothing at all about shifters or the supernatural world. She is in Paris because for years she has dreamt about the city and it has been her dream to live in it. She has found herself a tiny apartment, works in a bar and helps out at a homeless shelter.

But one night whilst working at the shelter she encounters two very different men, two men who will change her life forever! One is a vampire and one is a dragon shifter - she is about to see a whole new side to Paris. As she leaves the shelter she is attacked by four vampires and a gargoyle but is saved by Tristan a dragon shifter. They go home to his apartment in an effort to keep her safe and the next day she is taken to meet the Guardians of Paris and is told that she is descended from a powerful legendary shifter queen, that she is, in fact, a Fire Maiden and that she is the savior the shifters of Paris have been waiting for.

She is assigned a bodyguard, Tristan, who has returned to Paris after a decade in the Foreign Legion. His mission now is to prove himself to the Guardians of Paris and to protect the city. Being appointed as a bodyguard for Natalie is both a blessing and a curse, it's a blessing because he gets to be close to her and a curse because Natalie is off-limits, she is his charge and he feels way out of his reach.

But just because he's been told to guard and protect but don't touch doesn't mean that the smoldering desire they both feel will go away. When Natalie is captured by bloodthirsty vampires working in tandem with Jacquline, a power-hungry she-dragon she has to dig deep and fight for both her life and Tristan's. With so much at stake, they must win!

There is so much more I want to tell you but then I would spoil this book for you which would be unforgivable of me. What I will say is that I loved this book and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

The narration of this book is done by the incredibly talented Kelsey Osborne who seems to narrate all of Anna's books. She does a wonderful job of bringing this story and the characters to life.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Great story

Natlie Brewer had dreams of going to Paris so she did. Everything changed when a vampire attacked . Who knew those things were real well she didn't. She didn't even know she had a heritage in her bloodline that was attracting them to her.
Gargoyles, vampires, and dragons oh my!
Tristan Chevalier's mission is to prove himself to the Guardians of Paris. Protect the city by watching the vampires and reporting on them but when he see natalie in trouble he can't just sit watch and report. Plus his Dragon has other plans for the little human that he is on board with.
Love the action, drama, mystery, betrayal, spice, and so much more this story has going on in it. The characters are fantastic! The story really pulls you in fast and keeps you interested. I really enjoyed reading this one and can't wait for the next story to come out about London and the next fire maiden.

I absolutely love this new mythology

This fated mate story in steroids swept me away to Paris and a new “world” that is so intriguing that I felt an immediate emotional connection with these characters. Natalie is just a normal American girl taking charge of her life and fulfilling a dream of living in Paris. Tristan is a war veteran coming back to civilian life as a protector for the mysterious Guardians. When they meet it is destiny and it is magic. But the overarching plot of the Fire Maidens also draws you in and it is hopeful even if they have to fight to protect humanity. Loved this action packed suspenseful romance.
