Boston Dragons Series:
I Dream of Dragons (Book 1)
My Wild Irish Dragon (Book 2)
Never Dare a Dragon (Book 3)
Blurb:
One New York Dragon + One Boston Phoenix = Scorching heat
Jayce Fierro is part of a legendary Boston firefighting family of phoenix shifters. Hiding his true form makes being in a relationship rather difficult. Meeting the beautiful Lieutenant Kristine Scott of the New York City Fire Department and knowing he can't have her only makes things worse.
Dragon shifter Kristine can't stop thinking about fun, flirty Jayce and his teasing smile. A relationship could never work-not with the distance between them, and definitely not with her shifter secret. But when Kristine lands herself in a blaze of trouble and secrets are revealed, Jayce will do whatever it takes to help-whether or not the feisty, stubborn New Yorker wants him to.

Unfortunately "Never dare a dragon" couldn't convince me completely. It started out really strong but then things got a bit weird or rather I was expecting something meaningful and maybe even heroic just to read something somewhat anti-climatic.
I loved the characters and the story, on the whole, had a lot of potential but there were too many details messing things up and some things didn't really make sense in my eyes. Some parts felt rather forced and drawn out so the writing lost some of its force and its lightness.
Maybe it might have been different if I had known the other books in the series before I read this book but I didn't. Many of the characters had obviously been introduced in one of the earlier books so it might have been less irritating that new important characters seemed to pop up left and right if I had read those. Maybe. I'm not sure that this is really the case as some things seemed to happen rather randomly.
Even though I was irritated, I might try another book by the author because I liked the idea and the characters.
