    About this audiobook

    TURN ON THE CHARM

    According to some (including himself), Constantine is one of the greatest heroes of dragonkin who ever lived. Too bad he's now lonelier than ever and his biggest adventure involves a blow-up sheep-until he has an opportunity to save his kind once again. All Constantine has to do is break into a demon's dungeon, steal an ancient artifact, and reverse a deadly curse. The plan certainly does not involve rescuing a woman . . .

    TURN UP THE HEAT

    Bee isn't sure whether to be infuriated or relieved when Constantine pops up in her prison. The broody, brawny shifter lights her fire in a way no one ever has before, yet how far can she really trust him? Their chemistry may be off the charts, but when push comes to shove, Constantine will have to make a crucial choice: to save the dragons or the woman he's grown to love with fierce intensity.

    Despite her love for novels, Katie MacAlister didn’t think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. MacAlister resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. More than thirty books later, her novels have been translated into numerous languages, recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell.

      Constantine of Norka, who is the leader of the now defunct Silver Dragons, was killed and resurrected by the love of his life, Ysolde who was stolen from him by Baltic who formed the Light Dragons after the fall of the Black Dragons who were reformed under Kostya, Constantine's godson. Since Constantine had no sept, Baltic accepted him into the Light Dragons. Constantine can fade in and out of this world and the Otherworld since he is a spirit. Because of this Ysolde asks him to go to Abaddon (hell to humans) and take a special token from the demon lord of Abaddon, Asmodeus in order to break the curse put on the dragons. When he arrives there he finds Bee Dakar, the Charmer hired to break the curse locked up in a cell after being caught for doing the same thing he is there to do. He refuses to let her out as he believes she is safer in the cell since he cannot protect her. As a spirit, it takes a lot of energy to do certain things such as breath fire or fight in corporal form. When he makes it to Asmodeus's room he finds Gary the head in a cage who is a knocker or a spirit that warns people in mines by knocking on the wall when a collapse in eminent. Gary tells Constantine what to take.On the way out Constantine releases Bee and tries to make an escape but they are both caught and Gary told Asmodeus that he took something so Constantine, who has had a bete noir placed on him that keeps him in corporal form, gives over the finger he took, but keeps the other object he took. Amid the chaos that soon ensues, Bee, Gary, and Constantine make a run for the gate and escape Abaddon. When Bee tries to undo the curse on Constantine it blows up, which means the artifact was the wrong one. That's when they find out that the demon lord with whom they needed to get an object from was the one before Asmodeus: Bael. Constantine is withholding information about Bael from Bee and from the other dragons.While they are making plans to find Bael to get an object, Bael is making plans to gather magic objects in order to take over the Otherworld and Abaddon and then kill off the dragons and take over the world. So the dragons are going to have to get together to stop Bael from getting these objects while also trying to break the curse that keeps them from being able to talk to each other and makes them want to fight each other.Constantine is a wonderful character. He has an inflatable sheep and enjoys sex toys that he keeps trying to get Bee to try with some success. When he stays in Paris he stays in a brothel because it is free of magic and the service is great. He is so kind to Gary and gets him a hamster ball to rest in and a Tonka truck to be placed on with a remote so he can move about on his own. He's a bit of a romantic and while at first he's still stuck on Ysolde that's more of an idyllic love that isn't real. What he feels for Bee, however, is real. The two of them together are a fun couple to read about and this book was a really enjoyable read.QuotesI like base motives. They can be oodles of fun.-Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 52)“Do not think about what you will by doing,” Constantine said. “Just do it.” “You sound like a horrible mutation of Yoda.” I grumbled.-Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 70)“Was that supposed to be a kiss?” he asked when she pulled back. The self-satisfied look on her face faded to one of annoyance. “It was very much a kiss, yes. It was supposed to be a comforting gesture since you are obviously distressed about something, but now I take it back. Oafs like you don’t deserve comforting!” “I am a wyvern, not an oaf. And wyverns enjoy being kissed, but only when it’s done properly.” Bee opened and closed her mouth a couple of times, clearly outraged, “My kiss was just fine!” “It wasn’t. It was a mere pressing of the lips. There was no passion, no heat, no teasing of the mouth, no whispered promises of pleasure, no hint of the sweet joy that lies within. And then there was the way you leaned forward to do it, ensuring that no other part of your body touched mine. A kiss is more involved---“ “Criminy beans, don’t you ever shut up?” “I assumed you wished to know what elements of your kiss were lacking—“--Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 111-12)Sometimes you have to make your own fate rather than waiting for others to do it for you.-Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 119)Somehow, I never thought this day would end up with me hunting a demon lord with an ex-dragon and a head in a hamster ball.-Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 162)“I’m falling in love with you, you irritating, annoying, incredibly wonderful man. And if you think you’re going to get rid of me once the situation with your father is over, you’d just better think again.” He stopped writhing, lifting his head up to glare at me. “You’re stopping?” I pinched his hip. “Dammit, I just told you I loved you! Is that all you’re going to say? You’re supposed to react to my statement! Appropriately, I might add.” “You did not say that you were in love with me; you said you were falling in love with me. There is an important difference. Tell me when you are fully in love with me, and then I will react appropriately.”-Katie MacAlister (Dragon Storm p 281)

      Dragon Storm by Katie MacAlisterBook #2: Dragon Falls SeriesSource: PurchaseMy Rating: 5/5 starsMy Review: There is certainly no sophomore slump here as Dragon Storm comes screaming into the series with a ton of fun and some new characters. For centuries, Constantine has lived as an outcast. He is thought to have been the ruin of many, many dragons and now lives predominately as a spirit though he can manifest into a solid form. Like most dragons, Constantine is handsome beyond measure but he is also, unlike most dragons, exceptionally kind, thoughtful, caring, and the bearer of a twisted sense of humor. According to Constantine, his one true mate, Ysolde is mated to Baltic and though Constantine has accepted the reality of the situation, he isn’t at all happy about it. In order to assuage his anger, Constantine finds new and improved ways to aggravate Baltic and awards himself points for particular reactions. Oh, and he likes to invest in sex toys and leave some lying about the house Because of his status among other dragons, Constantine rarely concerns himself with their affairs. However, a chance to redeem himself wouldn’t be ignored so when he is asked to go into the underworld to retrieve an item of great importance, Constantine agrees to go. Constantine has no intention of lingering in the underworld but finds his task hampered at every turn. The first hampering is Bee, a fiercely frustrating Charmer (her job, not her personality) who is, incidentally working on the same problem as Constantine. The second hampering comes in the way of a disembodied knocker by the name of Gary (Gareth, but nobody calls him that!) and the final hampering comes in the form of the crown prince of Abadon who has no intention of allowing Constantine, Bee, Gary, or his possessions to leave his realm. Against his better judgement (and thanks to the chains!) Constantine helps Bee and Gary out of Hell and back into the real world. Once back in the real world, Bee and Constantine determine their first course of action should be to reverse the curse that has plagued dragonkin for more than two years. If the curse can be reversed, and Bee is certain of her abilities, then each of the dragon septs can once again talk to one another and again focus on the larger issues facing them all. First on the list, banishing Bael’s sorry, evil ass back to Hell. As I have come to expect in my Katie Mac reads, Dragon Storm is full of characters past and Constantine and Bee are most assuredly visited by the other dragons and their mates. Aisling and Drake, Ysolde and Baltic, and Aiofe and Kostya all make appearances and work with Constantine and Bee to solve a lot of problems. Thrown into the mix is the budding relationship between Constantine and Bee and how the two of them cannot only be together but also care for Gary. The Bottom Line: I was less than impressed with the first read in this series but found myself pleasantly surprised by Dragon Storm. This read has all the things I love in Katie Mac books: feisty dragons, JIM and GARY for serious comic relief, the appearance of older characters, and the continuation of a good and somewhat unresolved plot line. Couple all of this with a new, fun couple like Constantin and Bee and Dragon Storm becomes all kinds of awesome. My only complaint about this read Aiofe, I still really dislike her and that doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon. On the bright side, Aiofe plays only a small role in this read so I didn’t let her dampen my feelings about the book as a whole. By books’ end, some of the issues are resolved but dragonkin and the world still face the challenge and threat that is Bael. On to book three, Dragon Soul.
