Sad I have to wait for the next one,
This review is from: Love In The Time Of Dragons (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this one. I think it was my favorite of all the Dragon series, although I also really liked the last book in the silver dragon series. I like Ysolde she's a great character. I think the dragon books just keep getting better and better as do the Heroines. I haven't read her vampire series but I think I will soon.

Hilarious Romp With The Dragons!,
By Andrea Griffin "Avid Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love In The Time Of Dragons (Mass Market Paperback)
Ahhhh...Baltic, Baltic, Baltic. For so long, us readers viewed you as one of the bad guys...especially when you helped wipe out many of your own kind. Were we right...thinking Baltic is a big ol' bad guy? Or were we wrong...judging him using circumstantial evidence? "Love in the Time of Dragons" by Katie MacAlister addresses this (as well as other exciting plots) by giving the readers an interesting new(ish) dragon couple - Baltic and Tully Sullivan (aka - Ysolde). Now, I'm not going to bore you by rehashing the plot (which you can read about in the book description as well as the other reviews) but I am going to let you in on why you should read this book.
First off, MacAlister has got to be, hands down (or scaly taloned paws down) one of the funniest writers currently. If you've never read her work, I highly suggest that you do...and you can start with reading the Aisling Grey series first (which will give you much needed background info which leads up to this book). I find that she's one of three writers whose humor actually makes me snort...a very unladylike sound, but I'll just claim it's involuntary, kinda like hiccups. Second, read read READ her dragon books to learn about "Jim". "Who is Jim?" you ask...well, Jim's a demon. A big, shaggy, slobbery Newfoundland of a demon. One who is having an illicit love affair with a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named "Celeste". Jim, more often than not, is a fount of information...usually useless information, but funny as Abbadon none the less. If Jim were a man, let's just say he'd have a penchant for Members Only jackets, Miller High Life, and cartoon porn. Don't let his demon heritage scare you...under all that fur lurks a heart of gold. Third, the MEN. Ohhhh...the men. All of these dragons sound soooo yummy. Personally, I can't wait for Bastien's story. I've no idea why, but I just think he's such a compelling dragon. *sigh* Maybe, if I pray to the Gods of Creative Inspiration, Ms. MacAlister will write his story next...complete with a leading wyvern's mate named "Andrea". But I digress... Finally...read Katie MacAlister's work. I own EVERY book she's written & I can say that I pick them up again, once a year, just because they're good enough to read and re-read again. Cheers! 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

I know this just came out 7 days ago, but I'm already excited for book 2!,
By S. L. Howell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love In The Time Of Dragons (Mass Market Paperback)
MacAlister's Dragon books get better with each one, and "Love in the time of Dragons" is BY FAR the best. I laughed so hard, I cried. The romance scenes, while not as plentiful as in the Aisling/Drake or May/Gabriel books, are super steamy. Tully/Ysolde is a great heroine (much less whiny than Aisling was in her books), and Baltic is INCREDIBLY hot. The best part is that Katie Mac finally starts filling in some of the holes that she's been laying since the begining (while leaving lots of new ones, of course). If you haven't read any of the dragon books, you definitely want to start from the Aisling Grey, Guardian novels to really understand this one. Once you get here, you'll be VERY glad you did.

3.5 stars - Long time villain, Baltic, finds redemption and his mate,
By melindeeloo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love In The Time Of Dragons (Mass Market Paperback)
I really loved the beginning of Love in the Time of Dragons. Even though I am not a fan of flashbacks, I actually enjoyed them here. I thought that Tully's dreams of the past were very effective way of telling the story of Silver Dragon Ysolde and Black Dragon Baltic's love in their past life together while also allowing the the human Tully to slowly regain her memories of her life as Ysolde and her love for Baltic.
At the start of the story I really liked Tully/Ysolde's character. Tully awakes after blackout in a somewhat strange situation, with all of our old favorite characters (Aishling, May, Gabriel, Drake) from the previous Dragon books telling Tully that she's actually a reincarnated dragon, but even though Tully was questioning her own sanity, I thought that Tully was incredibly sane for a McAllister heroine. However, somewhere along the way that all changes and Tully becomes the typically zany leading lady of these Dragon books and begins to loose her own identity to the point where Tully ends up nearly interchangeable with Aishling or one of many other of the author's past leading ladies. Even so, I still really enjoyed the parts with Baltic past and present - I love it when a villain is redeemed and there wasn't any being in the dragon world more 'evil' or reviled than Black dragon Baltic, so turning Baltic into hero material is quite satisfying and Tully's Baltic is becoming a wonderful dragon mate - and best of all their chemistry together was quite good. On the whole with a slightly different ending I would have still really liked the book just because of the parts with Baltic. And quite honestly I'd have been happy if this story had been a standalone. However, since Love in the Time of Dragons begins a new Light Dragon series there was s not a happily ever after yet for Tully and Baltic. And the ending here - which set up for the rest of the series - left me feeling a bit depressed. |
