Action, romance, sci-fi, with a touch of mystery and a dash of the paranormal, Aug 8 2006
By Deborah Wolf "Creator of RomanceADay.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kiss Of The Blue Dragon: An Angel Baker Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
This is action, romance, sci-fi, with a touch of mystery and a dash of the paranormal. The characters are compelling and vibrant.I got much more than I expected when I picked this book up!
Angel is a strong female lead, which I love. She's an independant mercenary. She's got a kickbut and take names attitude with the kung fu moves to back her up. Her only problem is that emotionally she's a wimp. Marco is sensitive, he respects her and he's just what the psychic ordered. But he's a COP, trying to uphold the laws of a bloated bureaucracy.
Overall, Julie Beard has impressed me with creativity and her ability to keep track of and pull the right threads together.

Kiss the Blues Goodbye with this book!, Aug 29 2004
By Ceres - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kiss Of The Blue Dragon: An Angel Baker Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
Julie Beard's Kiss of the Blue Dragon is the perfect example of a kick-butt heroine with a softer side. Ms. Beard has penned an excellent story with clever narrative and sassy, sparkling dialogue. Angel Baker has a past that makes her oh, so human and explains why she's a Certified Retribution Specialist. Marco is perfect, a man who's not threatened by a real woman. I hope there will be more Angel Baker books from Julie Beard!

This SHOULD have made me happy., Aug 23 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kiss Of The Blue Dragon: An Angel Baker Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
I like a good mystery, I happen to be a sci-fi freak and I don't mind romance in a story. Set around 2100 AD, Chicago, Angel Baker is a Retribution Specialist (people pay her to get back at criminals when the law can't). She is strong, pretty and knows how to handle herself. Sounds great. What went wrong?Well, the setting seems more 21st Century than 22nd Century with some stuff tossed in hover-that and laser-this, and things kept confusing me. I understand why the Russian Mafia is tough TODAY (they had to deal with the KGB), but the Russian Mafia of the 22nd Century has been in the USA for over a century dealing with a legal system that's in shambles. Why is the author talking about how tough they are because "of relentless suffering in a failed communist economy"? Just how OLD is the members of the Mafia or did Russia try communism a couple more times?
And is the Mongolian gangsters from Mongolia or China? Are they a little of both? Or does she mean Inner Mongolia? And why would they have slavery when they have androids? Why use acid rounds and laser weapons when good, old fashion bullets would do?
Also, the romance seemed rushed (and mostly off-screen/off-page for those of you wanting some action in the bed room). Well, at least the plot made sense (when you ignored the flaws in the setting). Some parts, like the old fashion train being kept as a tourist attraction, seemed to make sense and also added a touch of humor.
I suggest getting it used.
