Fire and Ice --- Series: The League, Gen 2 #2
Quick Summary
Livia doesn't want to be married off to a man older than her father who will just treat her like a possession. But when she propositions a dark and deadly stranger in a bar she has no idea what she's getting. Adron used to be a League Assassin before tragedy destroyed everything that he is; but there's something about Livia's innocence that calls to him.

What I Liked
I love the original League books (Born of Night and Born of Ice) so this is a nice little novella that let's me get a glimpse of those characters. Though the science fiction elements are minimal in this one there is still a great romance. In typical Kenyon fashion we have a very troubled and damaged hero who needs the love of a compassionate woman to heal him. I have no problem with this story line and Kenyon definelty packs a strong punch considering this is only a novella. Livia is pretty innocent and still very sweet considering her upbringing but Adron really needed someone light in his life.

What I Didn’t Like
I wish this could have been a full length novel! As a side note I felt it was a little odd that Adron's ex-wife came about from a political marriage. After everything Nykyrian and Kiara (Adron's parents from Born of Night) went through and the love they have, I wouldn't expect them to support a marriage that wasn't based on love.

Knightly Dreams
Quick Summary
After finding her boyfriend in a compromising position with his secretary, Taryn is ready to throw in the towel when it comes to love. So when she makes a silly wish about the hero in her romance novel she doesn't expect to wake up beside him. Sparhawk, the Earl of Ravensmoore, was desperate to escape his story's ending so now he has 7 days to find love or be banished back into his book.

What I Liked
I loved Sparhawk and his funny reactions to things that were unfamiliar. Reading this reminded me of what I love about Sherrilyn Kenyon's writing. This was pretty much insta-love but Sparhawk made it believable because all he wanted was to care for and love Taryn.

What I Didn’t Like
Things got very meta at the end of this one and it got a bit too weird for me. It was an interesting concept on how writers and stories are created but it created a few plot holes that are not really addressed. It's a small part of the story so it's not like it affects too much but it's still there.

Dragonswan --- Series: Dark-Hunters #1.5
Quick Summary
Channon has been studying the Dragon Tapestry for years in hopes of discovering it's secrets. And when a tall, dark, and dangerous man shows up at the museum and asks her out, she's cautious but unable to resist. Sebastian is a were-hunter dragon and he wants nothing more than to avoid attachments -- before he lets someone else down. But when Channon turns out to be his mate, Sebastian knows he has no choice but to bring Channon back in time to his home in order to protect her.

What I Liked
Again Kenyon gives us a damaged and tragic hero to love and Sebastian is no exception. He was brutally tricked by this enemies and it resulted in the worst consequences imaginable. Now he's been banished from his family and lives on his own in complete solitude. Channon was a great heroine too because she was willing to give up everything in order to be with Sebastian once she realizes they are mates.

What I Didn’t Like
We get plenty of information about the were-hunters and their history but I would have liked more about Sebastian's family. Granted he's banished so we don't get too much interaction with his brothers and this is less than 100 pages so you can only fit so much.

In Other Worlds Paranormal Romance Berkley Sherrilyn Kenyon 9780425233207 Books Reviews

I just discovered Sherrilyn Kenyon this year and have become a huge fan. I've devoured her entire Dark Hunter series and am now into her League series. So happy to discover "Fire and Ice"!!! It may be in short-story format, but it's a PERFECT short story. Adron's physical damage was probably the worst any of her heroes has ever suffered, but he still forced himself to push forward in life because he knew deep down that people loved him. Livia was the perfect balm for his lonely heart. She stuck by him even when he wanted to give up on himself. Overall, I loved meeting Nykyrian and Kiara's children (now grown) and seeing their playful interaction. But it's Adron's heart that moved me the most. I loved the emotional intimacy that SK was able to develop in such a short arc, and was extremely happy with the conclusion of the story. A must read for any League fan!

I liked the concept of "Knightly Dreams," that characters in books are as real as you and I, but just reside in other realms. And that if books that are meant to be written languish because writers refuse to finish their stories, the characters that inhabit those books can go crazy and be locked in literary prison. It was a sweet read, and I thought Sparhawk was rather silly/charming in an Edward-from-"Enchanted" kind of way.

I read "Dragonswan" a few months ago and I don't remember a whole lot about it except that it filled in some initial info about Were Hunters from the Dark Hunter series. I don't remember it being a bad story, just not instantly memorable.

Get this book for "Fire & Ice." You won't regret it!
In Other World was a book with three different stories. I had not realized that these stories had been released at an earlier time. I enjoyed two of the three stories.

The first story was taken from Kenyon's Born Series. I really liked this story about Adron and Livia. It was so sweet and loving that it sucked me in from the first page. I had seen Adron's name from the other Born books but it was great to get his back story. This book could have been longer because it would have been great to get into more depth about Adron and his injuries and Livia's culture. It was clear that both characters had been through some tragic situations. I loved how the story developed and ended. Adron was in so much physical pain and just wanted to be with Livia so much. I loved the way they met and how their loved developed over one night. I know I had tears in my eyes throughout most of the story. I also laughed a lot. I hope that Ms. Kenyon will do stories on Adron's brothers and sister Zarina. I remember Zarina from Devon's story. She is a kickass female.

The second story started off cute but then just turned weird and confusing. I could not get into it. It just seemed so rushed. I liked the characters but then it got into some kind of library with books written by children and lost authors and just a lot of mumble. I could not get into it after that and I just skimmed over the last half to get to the last book which I knew was a werehunter book.

I loved the last story because I love Kenyon's werehunter stories. This story was so entertaining that i could not put it down until I finished. I had not read a dragon shifter story before and I loved the story between Sebastian and Channon. Sebastian was so sexy and sweet. The whole mating and hand imprinting was great. I cannot wait until her next book No Mercy.

All in all this was a good purchase and I enjoyed two of the stories. I would recommend the book to any fans of Kenyon who have not already purchased these stories earlier. You will enjoy the stories very much. I would have given five stars if not for the second story.
