Publisher's summary

Fire Maidens: the sizzling, suspenseful series finale!

Bear shifter Heath Cauley figured his latest bodyguarding gig would be the usual - social gatherings, public events, and a bratty, entitled heiress to endure. He wasn’t expecting a stubborn, independent Fire Maiden with a fiery attitude and a hell of a left hook. And he sure wasn’t expecting sparks to fly from the moment they meet.

Dragon shifter Claudia Kaiser is determined to fulfill her destiny as a Fire Maiden, no matter what the risk. She’s a protector, not a damsel in distress. But not everyone sees it that way, so she can’t make a move without a detail of bodyguards hot on her heels. That includes the intriguing - er, annoying - new guy with golden brown eyes and a mysterious past.

Meanwhile, a treacherous enemy plots to release unfathomable evil locked away beneath the snow and ice of the highest Alpine peaks. It will take teamwork, unsavory informants, and swallowed pride for Claudia and Heath to not just survive, but to save the continent from a terrible fate.

Anna Lowe’s Fire Maidens: Billionaires & Bodyguards series

Danger lurks over Europe, where a ruthless dragon clan plots to seize power in the grandest, most glamorous cities. The guardians of old have summoned a new generation of shifter heroes to protect the castles, cathedrals, and cobblestoned streets of their ancestral homes - and to seek out the last of the Fire Maidens, women coveted by the dark lords for their royal blood. Those women are absolutely off-limits to the young warriors tasked with protecting them. But destiny, of course, has other ideas…

A series of sizzling paranormal romances with adult content. Dragons, wolves, lions, and more! Each story is packed with action, emotion, and romance! No cliff-hangers. If you like smoldering-hot shape-shifters, military heroes, royal intrigue, and a hint of magic, you'll love these books. Join these strong heroines and their alpha heroes in atmospheric locales filled with danger and suspense!

Last of the series.

AUDIBLE Nothing to do with the author or the great story and characters but I found it hard to disappear into the story as I usually do. When I did focus in, I enjoyed listening. I am putting my lack of focus down to what is happening outside my door at the moment. The tv is full of both the floods here in Australia which has affected family members and the war abroad. I know I will listen to this series again and will immerse myself totally as usual. BOOK REVIEW Bittersweet read as this is the last book of this series. Unless we are very lucky and the author treats us to another destination, or a get together book of all the Fire Maidens doing their thing. I just loved this emotionally packed story and cried when I finished. Once again Ms Lowe has written a book that just pulled me in and took me to a faraway place. One I have been lucky to visit. Brooding and quiet Heathcliff finally gets the HEA and what a wonderfully match she was. Putting him through his paces and giving him one hell of a run around at first. Claudia is the Swiss Fire Maiden we have heard about. The apparently snotty and snobbish woman who wouldn’t put herself out. She is a far cry from that. A bit of a complainer and manipulator but only due to being kept in a gilded cage from birth. All the other Fire Maidens have had their surprise Fire Maiden history sprung on them but Claudia has known since birth who and what she was, with little allowance for her feelings or wishes. Now, she is not trapped in an Ivory tower, or abused, in fact she is much loved and cared for. But she has not really been allowed to be a true Fire Maiden and all that entails. In this story, Heath learns to love again and wasn’t that a bittersweet story about his mother. And Claudia learns to grow into who and what she is and was always meant to be. Loved so much having all the others from this series come together in the end. The nasty Jacqueline gets her much deserved comeuppance. And no loss at all. So terribly sad this wonderful series is finished but I cannot wait to see in which direction this author will take us next. This is my honest review of this book which I read through Kindle Unlimited.

Claudia and Heath

It is always bittersweet to end a series, Fire Maidens Switzerland is no exception. In this journey, it begins with a slightly unusual beginning where Claudia is fully aware of her role as a Fire Maiden. When you have a level of expectations laid on your shoulders, it is difficult to let go. Heath is her newest bodyguard and is having difficulties reigning her in. Claudia listens to no one, but Heath is up for the challenge as her life depends on it.

What a great ending to the series by bribing all the Fire Maidens together! I look forward to see what else Anna will be doing in the future. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Fire Maidens Switzerland provided by the author.

Heath and Claudia's Story - The End of an Era

Having devoured all the books in this wonderful series I was looking forward to Heath's story and I have to say it didn't disappoint. I've always liked it when he stepped up to help his buddies in the previous books and wanted him to find his own HEA. I loved his story but as the final one in this series, I admit I'm sad realising that his story is the last and that the series has come to an end.

Health and Claudia's story was a fitting end, I loved how they were able to move past their fears about trusting someone new, how Heath was able to get past his fear of opening himself up to love so they were able to accept that they could find happiness and love together. It was nice to see his buddies and their Fire Maidens all come together, I love the abiding friendships and camaraderie formed not only between the guys but their wonderful mates. I'm going to miss this bunch of shifters but then all good things come to an end - although maybe Anna can revisit them when they all have children, perhaps a Christmas Special sometime?

But back to Heath and Claudia, these two are perfect for each other, but then they would be because they are destined mates and Destiny wouldn't have it any other way. They met by chance one evening and ended up spending the most incredible night of their lives together - only to part in the morning without exchanging details. Later that day he attends an interview for the position of bodyguard to the only born fire maiden, you've guessed it, Claudia. Despite her not wanting him as part of her team they work out an arrangement, a professional one, which turns out to be the best decision possible when dark forces attack Claudia and her safety and survival is placed squarely on Heath's broad shoulders.

As always Anna's writing style, research of locations and characters are a joy to read.

The narration of this book, in fact, the whole series is by the talented Kelsey Osborne, she brought all the characters to life beautifully.

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

Anna does it again!

This is the finale of the Fire Maiden series and it is everything I expected. This story is different in that our fire maidens comes from a family of fire maidens, so she has always known what she was and what is expected of her. It doesn’t mean she has to like it though. Bucking against the restraints of her position she takes way too many chances. She starts to see her mistake as her frivolousness has consequences.

I loved this story! Having all the fire maidens and their mates come to help banish the evil was especially enjoyable! I loved seeing their friendship and honor take center stage.

This story ticks all the boxes and you can not go wrong with this or any of the books in the series.

Excellent story

Claudia and Heath’s story is a fast paced entertaining story. Loved that the characters from the previous stories join this story. Once again an excellent story. Wonderful characters with plenty of action.

Final book of the series

I am sad to see this series end, but I am sure Anna will soon have us enthralled by more great characters. I always find her books so easy to read and hard to put down. I also love to listen to the audiobook when it comes out and find myself hearing things that I missed because I read it so fast! Her narrator is fantastic so be sure to check one (or more) of her audiobooks.

In the last installment of the series we get something we haven't had before, a Fire Maiden who has always known what she was. Claudia's grandmother was a Fire Maiden and she was raised knowing she had important duties. The one thing that has always irked her is the lack of privacy due to her inevitable bodyguards. It has only gotten worse since other Fire Maidens have appeared and been in danger from the Lombardi's and others. She knows she is important but she is also a dragon shifter who has been training all her life.

You will remember Heath from the last book. He has come to Switzerland to take a job as a bodyguard for some rich guy's daughter. Imagine his surprise when he realizes that the woman he is supposed to guard is none other than the dream woman that he had a one-night stand with just the night before. The one his bear has not stopped going on about ever since she snuck out early that morning. The one his mind keeps drifting back to when he knows there is no way he would ever be able to allow himself to have a real relationship with her. The one who is apparently - a Fire Maiden? So, way out of his league.

Lots to this one. We will find out Heath is kin to some other shifters we know from Hawaii and that his bear is not his only... OK, not telling you that. There will be witches, demons, and Jacqueline (who is a little of both, har har). There will also be a chance to visit with all the other Fire Maidens and their mates. Yipee!

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

BEST IN ROMANTIC ADVENTURE

Such sweet tender love stories. I always finish one of Anna's book with a heart felt smile, feelings of happiness, content and at peace. Her books show us the goodness in people and how their selflessness wins over evil. I think l own nearly all her books and read them many times over. RECOMMENDED!! As usual this audio version was beautifully narrated by Kelsey's easy listening voice.

Fabulous Conclusion

This was a fabulous conclusion to the series. I loved Claudia and Heath together. The sparks were awesome. I loved the breakfast where all the couples gathered. The conversation among the couples was hilarious at times.

Narration was on point as usual.

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

Claudia and Heath

What a great ending to the Billionaires and Bodyguards series! I highly recommend listening to and/or reading each book. This book was different in that Claudia, a dragon shifter, knew she was a Fire Maiden. There was lots of action, suspense, and, of course, romance. Heath, a bear shifter, who she had a one-night stand with, was one of her bodyguards and boy did she give him a run for his money in trying protect and keep her safe. Jacqueline, villain from previous books, joins forces with Ghisell, a witch. Of course they cause lots of trouble for Claudia. I like when Claudia and Heath were fleeing for their lives, Heath does a special shift to come to her rescue. It was awesome when they made it to Claudia's chalet. By then, Claudia was practically frozen. Heath warms her up so nicely. They realize they were mates but it took them a while to admit it. The ending is so good with all of the Fire Maidens. I love how they came together to support Claudia. It would be nice to catch up with all of the Fire Maidens, especially if they have children. To me, Kelsey Osbourne is the voice of the Fire Maidens and she did a great job with the narration.
