Sergio and Lena

Lena was a photographer and Sergio a guardian. He stumbled upon her when she was in mid shift. Sergio was on assignment following Vincente (a bad guy) so he ended up at a photo shoot with Lena and Amber. Amber was a piece of work and so full of herself. Amber wanted Lena to photograph her on Vincente's yacht. The bad guys thought Amber was the Fire Maiden when they saw the stone turn brilliant, but when they later realize it is Lena, Sergio had to get her off the yacht. I love how they escaped by taking one of the jet skis. When they reached land, Sergio took a motorcycle. From there, the action really takes off. There were quite a few “edge of your seat” moments because you know the bad guys would not be far behind them and eventually find them. Loved the fight scene and when the bad guys were trying to capture Lena. All he!! breaks loose when they do. Ms. Lowe always has a good balance of action and romance and she manages to pack a lot into her stories. This book was so enjoyable that I would have loved it to continue longer. As always, Ms. Lowe's bad guys are really bad, each in their own way. The b!tch, Jackleen, makes an appearance in this book. I hope Ms. Lowe plan to write a story about Marco who claims not to want a mate.

Kelsey Osborne narration was spot on, especially the selfish, self-absorbed Amber. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Wonderful!

The story is wonderful, the descriptions make you feel like you are there. The narration, though, is what makes this stand out from all the rest. Kelsey has such a wonderful range of voices. Her ability to even pronounce some of these words leaves me in awe. That is what I love about these. I'm looking forward to listening to the next one!

Awesome series! Lots of heart and passion!

The narrator does a solid job. I like the excitement in her voice and she gives a clear performance. I'd recommend listening if you have the chance. A fun listen!

Loving this series so far! This one I believe is my favorite too! Cool beginning with Lena not knowing that she’s a dragon shifter, so she has no idea why her body is trying to shift. Sergio, a wolf shifter, comes across her and offers support. That’s just the beginning of Lena and Sergio’s problems; they have a couple groups of bad guys after them, makes for some great suspense. Love how honest Sergio and Lena are right away; no games is always refreshing, and I love how accepting she is of the whole shifters thing. Lena is a tough cookie that uses her common sense. Sergio is adorable. These two have some majorly hot chemistry! Sweet and sexy connection! Plus, a shifter council that doesn’t completely suck! The story was engaging right from the beginning. Loved the Rome setting, the action, and the magical elements. Excited for the next book in Portugal with Marco!

Fire Maidens: Rome

In this installment of the fire maidens you get another couple that is fierce when their other half is in danger. These two are the perfect pair for each other and neither fights the pull so you get so much more of their love for each other than in the previous books. Love, love, love this couple!

Loved it

Even in the midst of craziness the narrator’s voice just made me happy to listen to this book. I loved the characters and the feisty Fire Maiden. I am enjoying this series.

Great Story!

I am really enjoying this series, and this story does not disappoint. There is great action and very intense at several points in the story. The characters are wonderful. I wasn't sure from the previous books whether or not I was going to like Sergio, but I ended up loving him. His acceptance of his fate was immediate and I believe that is because he is a wolf shifter. It follows with what we have learned about the different shifters in this world. The only point I didn't like was her changing into a wolf shifter too, considering she is a dragon shifter. This point is quite confusing and there is no real explanation for it. It doesn't take away from the story, but leaves my mind wandering. The narrator is the same as the first two and she gives the same powerful performance as the last two.

Fire Maidens: Rome

Fire Maidens:Rome is book three in the Billionaires & Bodyguards series and it's a great addition! This is Sergio and Lena's story! We first met Sergio in book two, Fire Maidens:London, where he was a supporting character! I really loved him as the hero in this book!

Lena has just relocated to Rome-somewhere she has always wanted to live. She does photography primarily for tourists and bridal parties to pay the bills. Hoping to one day have her work published, she has lots of spare time to photograph the sites with her unique perspective. Things are going well until her body started doing some pretty spectacular things. None of this was going on prior to her coming to Rome. She is caught mid-shift one night by Sergio. He was there to let his wolf run free for awhile. He shifts back to a human and offers Lena his help. She understands that she is shifting, but she doesn't know why? Something with her Mom or maybe her Dad? He was not around throughout her life, so she has no clues about him. Lena doesn't know what to make of it that's for sure. Sergio is there to help!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Lots of romance, suspense, and intrigue that the series is known for! Lena and Sergio have some serious chemistry!! I found the idea of Lena's awakening as a shifter a totally different and interesting angle. Most all shifters know what they are from birth so this was refreshing. The Guardians of Rome sure are an eclectic bunch they are! True to the set up of the series, each council is headed by a woman! I am especially drawn to that!

If you have the chance, grab this audiobook and dive in! It is definitely worth the treat as Kelsey Osbourne takes us on a fantastic journey in Anna's book! She brings a vividness you just don't always achieve while reading yourself!

Anna does a great job by giving us the groundwork for the next book in the series! I look forward to seeing how the hero will handle the Guardians, the enemies, and of course, his Fire Maiden!!

Sergio and Lena

Guardians, fire maidens, and destiny. Fates interwoven, this is the story of Sergio and Lena. Sergio, a lone wolf, gets an opportunity to return to Rome, but at a price... bring the mafia boss down. Lena, photographer, has her own dilemma. She needs to figure out why she grows wings at the full moon. The story follows well after the first two fire maidens, with an easy storyline with action, drama, and romance.

The stories can be listened to individually, but it's nice to get a glimpse into the travels of the next story. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Fire Maidens: Rome provided by the author.

Lena & Sergio

Another thoroughly enjoy listen! I loved that the action started right away with Lena dealing with her inner beast that definitely wanted out. Of course, our hero, Sergio, is there to lend a hand. I liked their interactions throughout the story as well. As usual, I enjoyed the side characters, especially Ariana and Dante.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.
