Dragon Fire

Summary: Linda Ladd's Best!
Review: "Disciple of a secret Asian order - a stunning, sapphire-eyed enchantress trained in the ancient martial arts - Windsor Richmond travels across the American frontier, sworn to chastity...and revenge.

On a westbound train, rugged Stone Kincaid is drawn to the exquisite and mysterious Windsor by an all-consuming passion he is helpless to deny - never dreaming the sensuous stranger wrongly believes him to be her enemy...and longs for his destruction.

In a bold, untamed land, fate would cast them together, shared vows of retribution would impel them toward danger...and a soul-searing love forged in the flames of desire would make their magnificent hearts one."

I thought this book was excellent! Linda Ladd succeeds brilliantly in bringing her characters to life and making you care about them. "Dragon Fire" has plenty of adventure and passion. There are some heartbreaking events, but they only add realness to the story. [This is book 3 in the "Fire" trilogy.]

Summary: Not that great
Review: This book wasn't terrible, but it seemed to be poorly written. It had it's moments, but I just thought that the hero and the heroine fell in love too quickly. This book lacked the passion and fire that I like. The lead characters really didn't seem to have any chemistry. Also, many times, the book seemed kind of fake and clicheish. I don't think the writer did alot of research regarding the Chinese basis of this book. Alot of the information based on that seemed to be copied from some B-grade martial arts movie. I don't know, maybe the people who make B-grade martial arts movies do do the right research for this stuff. The main thing that soured me to the book was that the description made me think the heroine would be this strong person, which I like. But, it just seemed that she still always had to be forever rescued by the men, even though she's supposed to be this martial arts expert.
