Mays heart belongs to Gabriel, the leader of the silver dragons and being stuck in Abaddon is not doing great things for their relationship. You see May is a doppleganger and belongs to a demon lord and this particular demon is trying to keep her for himself. Until now May has managed to dampen his plans but the rules have changed and it looks like she will have to give in.

Gabriel agrees and it shocks May that he is ready to give her up. She has no need to worry though because in her absence he has been busy thinking and has come up with a plan to get them together again. There is some good news and bad news that comes attached to this plan. The bad news is that the demon lord will be able to go to the mortal world again but the good news is that he won't have the same amount of powers. Sounds too good to be true but there is no other choice.

Things get even more complicated for May and Gabriel as the plan progresses and alot of outside influences were not taken into consideration. Namely the Red and Blue Dragons and a dragon who is supposed to be dead. May will have to keep trading to gain her freedom and that of some others if she wants to finally be with Gabriel forever. Otherwise everything could just go Up in Smoke.

This second book in the Silver Dragon series was just as great as the first. I now know May better and I am also starting to like Gabriel as much as Drake. This book was amusing from the first page till the end and I found myself laughing out loud more than once. I love the fact that Aisling and Jim also make appearances in this series and I can't wait to see what else this author produces because I just love dragons.

With a great plot, more than interesting characters and lots of style this has everything a great paranormal romance needs. Not too overboard on the love and enough action and banter to keep the pace going this is a book that begs to be read in one sitting. Katie MacAlister has hit the spot again with this newest release and I am sure she will continue to do so in the future.

I feel absent this week. I have been reading but I just haven't had the time to make any real progress on any particular book. Work is busy and has been taking up more time than usual.

May has an unique talent. She can hide in the shadows and nobody can see her. It makes her job as a thief very easy but she is commanded by a demon lord and the Otherworld law is out to get her.

Gabriel is the leader of the Silver Dragons and even when May is hidden to everyone else he can see her. When he kisses her she can control his fire and that means she is a Wyvern mate. Gabriel and May are happy to mate but May just doesn't have the time to settle down like Gabriel would like her to.

Anyone who keeps up with my Goodreads group will know that I was struggling with this one at the beginning. I am not sure what was putting me off but it was a mixture of the characters and just the general way the story started. I actually put this one down for a week and I really thought I wouldn't pick this up again but I decided to give it one more chance. I did finish it but it was a bit of a bumpy ride.

Things heated up when Jim came along. Anyone who has followed Katie's book will know who Jim is. Then Aisling and Drake were on the scene and I started to relax back into the familiar 'Dragon World'. The story was going really well and then things went bad again. Way too much talk and not enough action was annoying me...then there was too many characters and way too much information. I actually got a headache and wanted to throw the book across the room. However the end was great with an amazing cliffhanger that will definitely have me buying the next book in the series.

All in all Playing with Fire is a must read for any Aisling Grey fans out there as this book carries on from Holy Smokes and is set in the same world. If you haven't read the Aisling Grey books then you may have a problem getting into this one. I had problems and I have read the previous books so be warned!

I hope Aisling will make appearances in the future Silver Dragons books with her dragon Drake. I started to like May and the other new characters as things progressed but I doubt I will ever like them as much as Jim, Aisling and Drake. Up in Smoke is the next book in the series and I have to read it to find out what happens next. I look forward to it and hope I don't have as much trouble with it as this first part.
