Those women are absolutely off-limits to the young warriors tasked with protecting them. But destiny, of course, has other ideas….

Thoroughly Enjoyable Boxset
Book 1:
I am loving this new series by Ms. Lowe. It's fun with lots of humor and suspense. Can't forget to mention it takes place in Paris, beautiful Paris. What more can we want with a sweet romance story.
Ms. Osborne did a lovely job with the narration.
I enjoyed the story. While it mostly follows the pattern of the previous series, there were a couple of twists that surprised and please me. It kept the story fresh and engaging.
Natalie is a sweet yet feisty heroine with a heart for the downtrodden and no room for snobbery. Tristan is practically perfect in every way. He's strong, handsome, fearless, and noble. He's also determined to protect Natalie and make sure she has the final say in her life.
I loved the secondary characters in the guardians group, especially Clara and Hugo. They are so sweet and adorable. I also enjoyed Liam, the lion shifter. In many ways he reminded me of Del from the "Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire" series. There is obviously a backstory with him which I can't wait to learn about in the next story.
Book 2:
This is another well-crafted story by Ms. Lowe. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Gemma and Liam. He was sweet, charming, and funny. Gemma was smart and sweet. Loved the side characters of Gareth, Sergio, and Gemma's slightly addled father. I even found Electra amusing. She was the perfect semi-villian.
The narration was well done.
Book 3:
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 versions of each book.

Love these books!
Fire Maidens
Paris
This is going to be a great series. We move from Hawaii to Europe for this one, which is sort of an offshoot from Jewels of the Heart and Pearls of Desire. While you don't have to read either of these two series to understand this one, you should just because they are fantastic!
Natalie has followed her dream and come to Paris. She is all alone in the city of love but she isn't really here to find love, she is here to explore Paris and help out the less fortunate. She works to support herself, but she volunteers at a soup kitchen to give back. Her French is not the best and she uses the opportunity to improve it and to learn about the lives of those she meets there. She had never been one to believe in the supernatural, but lately she has been having strange dreams about, of all things, vampires. When a strange man comes into the soup kitchen she is not sure why she feels he is there to watch her, but for some reason he seems to be connected to the strange dreams. Vampire. Really? No, is must be her imagination.
Tristan has been hired by the guardians of Paris to patrol and report on vampire activity. He is drawn to one of the city's soup kitchens because of one of the volunteers. When he drops in hoping to catch a glimpse of her he is immediately on alert when he senses a vampire presence. It doesn't take him long to determine that the vampire is there for the same reason he is, Natalie.
So starts a life changing night for both Natalie and Tristan. It seems she is one of the sought after Fire Maidens whose presence in their specified city brings power and stability to the shifters who reside there and also, by association, the human population. Tristan's dragon has declared Natalie is his mate, but how can someone like him possibly be mates with someone as special as a Fire Maiden? There is no way the Guardians are going to allow that to happen.
We also get to meet Liam, who will get his story in book 2. Love me a lion shifter.
London
Another great book by Anna Lowe. You can read this one as a stand-alone, but the first book (Paris) gives a little more information about Fire Maidens and introduces you Liam.
Liam is an unusual shifter since he had a dragon for a father and a lion for a mother. All his life he has been told that his father was no good and died in a fight which caused his mother to die of a broken heart. He was raised by his mother's family and was made to feel inferior since he wasn't a "real lion."
Gemma has fled Boston where she was stalked by a crazy man and has come to live in London near her English father. She works part time at a map shop and gets involved with every civic cause that is worthy of her attention. She lives on a narrowboat on a canal, or at least she does until the owner returns to the country. She visits her crazy father who lives nearby and seems to be always worried about things like dragons attacking her, as if. There are no such things as dragons. Or are there?
Gemma will learn a lot about dragons, and lions, and wolves, and even ravens and unicorns. Join her and Liam as they flee across London and then to a "cozy" castle in Wales. Destiny.
I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.
Rome
In this book, we get Sergio's story. You remember him, right? The hunky Italian wolf shifter who helped out Liam and Gemma in the last book? Well, he apparently has a really checkered past. Don't tell anybody but his family used to be a mafia superpower. Sergio did what he had to do to protect his mother and then hoofed it and joined the foreign legion. The Guardians of Rome have allowed him to come back and help out by spying on what is possibly a mafia wannabe. When he follows his "boss" on a photoshoot involving the guy's girlfriend, he is very surprised to find out the photographer is the newby dragon shifter he helped out in a park a few nights previous. He is even more surprised when his wolf continues to tell him that she is their mate.
Lena recently moved to Rome, the city she has always dreamed of living in. She doesn't understand why, since her move, on every full moon her body tries to change into some kind of beast. When she sees the good-looking man who she recognizes as the wolf/man thingy she saw in the park a few nights before, she doesn't know how to act. She has been having vividly erotic dreams about him ever since she met him. When he turns up at the house where she is renting a room offering to help her with her transformation problem, she is only sure that she would do anything to keep seeing him.
Find out what happens when a dragon and wolf find out they are meant for each other, right in the middle of a shifter battle. I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Fire Maidens
Paris, London and Rome.. what do they all have in common besides being major historical cities? Fairytales, Dragons, Wolves, Lions and Fire Maidens! Don't worry though, there's definitely action and a wide variety of paranormals! I voluntarily reviewed a copy of Volume 1 provided by the author.

Ms Lowe transports me to these wonderful places.
PARIS, LONDON, ROME
I love the way Ms Lowe transports me to all these wonderful places with mere words. Her descriptive talent is amazing.
Ms Osborne does a good job of narrating as well, though I do listen at a faster speed.
If you haven’t already, grab these books in any format and enjoy the ride across Europe.
I have reviewed all these books in both ebook and audible already. Read those reviews for more information.
But I do love having box sets for easy reading and now, to be able to listen to these great stories once again without the having to stop and change titles is wonderful.
Also great value getting three books for one credit.
Though I would have loved to get the short bonus stories associated with these books included, a bit greedy I know.
I was kindly gifted this box set and though I have already listened to these stories individually, I have bought the other two box sets.

Three Adventures in One
Anna Lowe never fails to provide stories full of romance and adventure, and the narrator does a wonderful job at bringing the stories to life. While these stories can be read in any order, the characters from the first stories tend to show up in the later books, so it's better to read them in order. Climb aboard and enjoy the fun in these three books.

Fun listen!
Fun to get 3 full books in the Fire Maidens series all together! You get Fire Maidens: Paris, London, and Rome! Really enjoy this entertaining paranormal series!
The narrator does a good job. She gives a solid, clear performance. I’d like to hear more emotions coming through in her voice, but I’d recommend listening.
Paris
Loved the premise with the whole fire maiden scenario and that the books in the series will take place in different European cities. Here's hoping for cities in Ireland and Scotland! This one is in Paris, and it was fun to touch on some of Paris' attractions. Natalie is surprised to learn that supernatural entities exist; vampires, shifters, etc., but she's even more surprised to learn that she may have more to do with that world than she anticipated. She ends up meeting Tristan; a dragon shifter, who helps protect and support Natalie. Unfortunately, old fashioned ideals get in the way of their connection. Also, an unfortunate, stuck-up supernatural gets in the way as well. The vampires aren't exactly making things easy for Natalie as well, so she's dealing with a whole lot. I love the whole mate connection, and Tristan and Natalie are really sweet together. I do wish Natalie felt a bit more for Tristan or that what she’s feeling came across better, but overall, they have good chemistry and definitely some heat between them. Entertaining adventure for Natalie and Tristan! I'm really excited to read the next book!
London
Fun series! Loving that each book is at a different famous city; cool for the characters to interact with some of the famous sites. Sweet connection between Gemma and Liam. Heartfelt and steamy! As always, love the shifter aspect. Lions and dragons in this one! The characters are still dealing with the old timers being stuck in their way; man they need to change with the times. Liam is trying to protect Gemma, but that can be difficult with multiple enemies on the loose. I liked the backstory with Liam and seeing the growth within him. Entertaining read! Looking forward to reading the next book that takes place in Rome!
Rome
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!

A great bundle of audiobooks!
Paris
This is going to be a great series if it continues on like this book is. I loved everything about this story. From vampires and dragon shifters to fights and finding your mate this book has everything you can hope for and more!
London
Just like the first book in this series, I absolutely loved this book! So much action and love as well as attempted deception and an awesome surprise with our lovely shifter this time. I don’t want to give anything away but will tell you that you will love this book!
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!
Overall this is a fun book bundle that will keep you entertained for hours!

Exciting stories
What is not to love of a collection of stories that allow you the luxury of travels while you are working. Paris with Tristan and Natalie is a wonderful story full of adventure, danger and romance. Dragons, gargoyles and vampires are a very wild ride in the city of Paris. You will enjoy the ride.
London has Gemma and Liam handling werewolves, lions and the ever present dragons. As in all the fire maiden books there is an unimaginable situation to escape with the added bonus of a romance.
Rome has Lena and Sergio fighting around Rome trying to escape all the people trying to capture Lena. I highly recommend this series of books.

ROMANTIC, ADVENTUROUS, ENTERTAINING, A1 NARRATION
ROMANTIC, ADVENTUROUS, ENTERTAINING, A1 NARRATION
SO SO romantic, you will just love this set of books featuring beautiful, strong, courageous and humble woman that care about community and those that need a hand. These girls find themselves drawn to their biological home, even if they don't know it yet, that includes the history of their ancestors and a paranormal existence all around them they never knew about.
These stories are entertaining ,as each character is introduced, we learn about the struggles and soon the rewards to those with good hearts.
Travel around the globe as you read ,with each book set in a famous location where the bad guys and the good guys fight for supremacy. There is a damsel in distress at the center of the mystery but don't be misled these women are strong, feisty and independent. Paranormal shifters , old and grumpy or young and enthusiastic these characters are sure to keep you as entertained as they did me. No cliff hangers but with guaranteed happy endings.
I have all Anna Lowes books and find they are so satisfying they can be re-read/listened further down the track.
If you want a feel good, romantic paranormal series then this author is for you, you won't regret it.
The narration is in a beautiful easy listening voice that compliments the characters and all the action.
RECOMMENDED
