A jaded warrior who doesn't want to get involved and an irresistible she-dragon on the run.

For centuries, the Guardians of Lisbon have kept shifter forces in check — dragons, vampires, and witches. Now, with their powers dwindling, they’re too busy to respond to a lone woman’s cry for help.

Novice dragon, Laura Sampao always knew her family descended from dragon shifters, but that power — or curse — hadn’t manifested itself in generations. But when she inherits a family heirloom, her life changes forever. Now, vampires are after her blood, and her last hope is a mysterious, jaded warrior who saves her from a brutal attack. And that’s just the prelude to a far greater danger, giving her no choice but to trust the infuriatingly gruff, handsome stranger who awakens all kinds of hidden desires.

Marco da Silva, heir to an ancient dragon dynasty, has been burned by damsels in distress before, and he’s determined not to get involved. But somehow, he just can’t resist. Before he knows it, he’s spiriting Laura off to his private island hideaway with his inner dragon vowing to keep her safe. Because his heart isn’t the only reckless force stirring in the shifter world — powerful enemies are on the move too, and they’ll stop at nothing to seize Laura — and take control of an entire continent.

This is another great addition to the Billionaires and Bodyguards series. Laura has the ruby and is wearing it around her neck. She knows nothing about a Fire Maiden. Marco lived between his two homes – one in Lisbon and the other in Madiera. Marco was in Lisbon when he sensed Laura’s fear and went out to investigate. He rescued her while she is being chased by baddies. She is not used to shifting into her dragon form so she is very clumsy. It is so funny when they arrive at Marco’s home in their escape from the baddies and she has a hard time landing. I could just picture the landing. LOL.

Olivia, a biotch, broke Marco’s heart about 10 years ago when she left him. He doesn’t want to open his heart again even though he feels something for Laura. She stays at Marco’s house. When he had to go out, Laura stupidly left Marco’s house to meet with Tito, who turns out to be a real bad @ss. Laura calls for help and Fin arrives before she meets with him to distracts him and his goons so Laura can hide until Marco arrives. There was a lot of “edge of your seat” action when Marco and Laura tried to escape them. Shortly after they arrive at Marco’s house, the baddies are there wanting Laura. Laura and Marco shift and take a marathon flight hundreds of miles away to the island of Madeira where Marco has another home and staff. A lot happens when they are on Madeira and a lot of action takes place.

This book was thoroughly enjoyable. I love the fact that during all of the action scenes, Marco, is slowly falling in love with Laura. Marco was hurt by Olivia, who was his fiancée, when she left him and she turns out to be a real bad@ss too. I love how Laura gained confidence and took care of Olivia.

I love Fin’s role in this book. He is awesome and I am rooting for him to find his mate.

Lots of "Edge of Your Seat" Action & Romance

I was not disappointed. Marcus and Laura are wonderful together. When Marcus realizes that his behavior is causing more harm than good, he actually begins to think like the soldier he truly is. Even with his brusque behavior in the beginning, it is understandable as we go through Marcus's thinking process. I liked that this story focused more on Marcus than the other stories focused more on the females. This one was more equally based, and helped to make the story more relatable and enjoyable. Once Marcus accepts that Laura is his mate, his personality suddenly takes a major shift. It's like the wary soldier turns a switch off and becomes someone else or maybe the man he was meant to be.

Great 4th Book in Series

Packed with adventure and action and brought to life in audio. You will enjoy this sexy couple and the backdrop of Portugal. Marco is gruff with Laura who is trying to sprout her dragon wings which puts her in a bad position. He takes her to his island to teach her to fly and keep her safe. She not only is his ally but also his mate.

Enjoyable

Narrator does a really good job of giving a clear, quality performance. Recommend listening!

This series is so fun! Love that each book takes place in a different European country! There was mention in this book that there’s unicorn shifters in Scotland, so here’s hoping there will be a book in Scotland! This one takes place in Portugal; which is somewhere I don’t know much about, so it was great to read about it. We get dragon shifters in this one! Laura very recently found out she can shift into a dragon; she knows that there are shifters out there, but she knows very little about shifter society and how to control her dragon. It’s very rare that she ends up being a shifter, but there’s something magical going with her. Since Laura is pretty clueless about all things shifter, she sets out to find someone to help her; which leads her to Portugal and Marco. This book gets right into the action with Laura finding herself in a dangerous situation, but luckily, dragon shifter, Marco, comes to her rescue. He doesn’t want to get roped into helping Laura; he had some issues in the past with deception, but he can’t really help himself. There’s a pull between them. Sweet and hot romance going on! I like that trying to resist scenario. Good connection and passion between Laura and Marco. Love the whole adventure they find themselves on; exciting action! Totally entertaining and fun story with a heartfelt romance! Excited for the next book!

Shifter fun! Sweet romance! Awesome!

Once again this narrator did a great job and took me into the book. I was kindly gifted this audible book for an honest review. BOOK REVIEW I really enjoyed this fourth book. No need to read in order as there is only a little overlap, usually of the next character who will be based in the next city that will be getting their story told. Great story with an entertaining plot that took me along for an enjoyable ride. I loved the slow fall into the realisation of being mates, even though Marco was a bit stubborn due to being burned in the past. His dragon was more astute than him. Pushing the truth at him. The sex scenes were soft, comfortable and very enjoyable. Great chemistry between Laura and Marco and though I have never been to Portugal or Madeira, they both came alive for me with the great descriptive scenes. The Guardians of these two places are even more ponderous and slow than any of the previous cities and it seemed fitting that they were well shaken up. The fact Laura has only just learned she is a dragon shifter and needs to learn everything from scratch added to my enjoyment. Really glad Olivia is out of the picture. Cannot wait to read Finn’s story. This is my honest review of this book.

Once again this narrator did a great job

I love reading Anna Lowe's stories, and listening is even better. She has a good habit of making the paranormal come to life.

Marco is a dragon shifter. He just completed a tour with the Foreign Legion of France and has come home to settle into a nice quiet life. He had been burned by women before he joined and everything he has seem since has confirmed that most women just want what would make them comfortable. Until he rescues Laura and winds up bringing her home. his dragon is pushing him that she is his mate, but he doesn't believe in mates any longer.

Laura's family has known they were descended from dragon shifters but no one has been able to shift for generations. Until she suddenly started to shift, much later in life than most start. She has been trying to find help for a while now, only coming across some taciturn shifters in the US. She makes the decisions to return to her family's roots and see if she can find help there.

Once in Portugal she winds up being targeted by vampires, who have gotten another dragon to chase her down. She is on the run until she sees a third dragon coming right for her. She manages to dodge him and finds out he was chasing the original dragon trying to catch her, and not herself. Giving Marco, who is the one that came to her aid, her guarded trust she starts to learns more of shifters, specifically dragons.

Will these two be able to come together, or will the past interfere? Have a listen to the book and find out. I did receive a copy of this book for free, and I fell in love with not just this story but any of the Fire Maidens Anna has brought to life. I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Can destiny help a bitter warrior?

We're now into the fourth book of the Billionaires and Bodyguards series involving Fire Maidens. We are focused on Marcos, who is slightly jaded from his past. And Laura who just wants answers. It seems as though Marcos and Laura's destinies are meant to intertwine. Especially when Marcos saves Laura from the vampires and gives her refuge. Marcos decides to teach Laura about her newfound abilities, which develops into something more.

As always, I enjoy seeing glimpse of past and future mates in each story. Looking forward to what Ireland brings! I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Fire Maidens Portugal provided by the author.

Anyone who reads my reviews will know how much I love Anna Lowe's books but I especially love them once the wonderful Kelsey Osborne has added her magic touch to the audio. This book about Laura and Marco was one I particularly loved. Laura Sampao always knew her family descended from dragon shifters, but no one had shifted in so long that they all assumed that power was lost. That is until she inherited a ruby necklace from her great aunt and found herself shifting into a dragon! Her life will never be the same, she decides to go to Lisbon and seek the help of the Guardians there as her family originally came from Portugal.

Marco da Silva, who we met previously when he helped Sergio and Lena in Rome, is the heir to an ancient dragon dynasty, but he’s determined not to take his father's seat as one of the Guardians believing that power and respect should be earned not inherited.

Whilst Laura is waiting for the Guardians to answer her plea for help she finds herself being pursued by a vampire and a dragon through the streets of Lisbon. Her one chance to escape is to take flight, but she is so new to flying will she be able to do it? Just when she thinks everything will be lost and she will be caught by the dragon pursuing her another dragon arrives on the scene and chases her pursuer away. He's, gruff and distant but he offers her refuge, he takes her home to his vila and begrudgingly offers her assistance.

Marco may want to keep himself to himself and stay away from women but when his dragon wakes him late one night and tells him that Laura is in danger, he has no choice but to help her. He defeats the dragon pursuing her and as she has nowhere safe to go he takes her home.

After another attempt to capture Laura by the vampire, the only way for him to keep her safe is to take her to Madera, but the only way they can get there is by flying and not in a plane! He has only done that marathon flight once will a novice like Laura be able to make it?

Once on Maderia the danger level increases, Marco begins to teach Laura all she will need to know, will they be able to get help from Madera's Guardians? But the danger has only increased and powerful enemies are on the move, enemies who will stop at nothing to seize Laura and use her power as a stepping stone to obtaining control of the entire continent.

But by this time Laura and Marco have realised that they are mates and are determined to defeat their enemies and be together. Their love story is action-packed and yet at times sweet, but this is a love story between dragons so there is lots of heat, from a dragon kiss to a dragon bond. I loved it, thank you, Anna and Kelsy you make such a wonderful team.

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