Fantasy books are the best… okay, maybe that’s debatable, but you’re obviously here because you love fantasy too! Maybe you’re like me and enjoy a mix of fantasy and romance–a delicious two-for-one combo of excitement and love. Well, have I got the book for you.
You know those stories that suck you in from the start? The ones with such beautiful writing that you feel like you’re truly involved in the story? THIS is one of those rare gems.

Emma’s writing is a dream. Her prose is eloquent, descriptive, and easy to read. The third-person POV works well here, and Emma does a great job of showcasing her small cast of important characters with distinguishable voices.
Our MC Lorelai is a half-elf who lives secretly among humans… and yes, she has pointy ears! Good thing her hair is long enough to keep them hidden, because magical creatures are sentenced to slavery or death in this world. She might be non-confrontational and kind at first glance, but turns out, she doesn’t take any BS from her oppressors and easily falls into the role of assassin. No big deal or anything. I won’t spoil the story for you, but I will say that Lore is definitely a Fire Heart. 😉
Then we have Abraxas, the misunderstood dragon. This man-beast won my heart over. His unwavering loyalty to his bloodline, and subsequently, to Lore, is swoon-worthy. The sweet, slow-burn romance offers a gratifying layer to the book, and is a reminder that not everything is how it first appears.
Now, I patiently wait for book two so I can finish Lore and Abraxas’ story, because yes, there was a cliffhanger. It was just enough of a cliffhanger to hook me on the idea of book two, without totally crushing my heart or dreams… so, thank you, Emma!
Fire Heart is out on January 31st, but is available for pre-order NOW (click here to get it on kindle!) I highly recommend this elf & dragon love story to anyone who loves fantasy books!
