About this audiobook
As the daughter of the corporate king, Jessen Cade is duty-bound to honor her arranged marriage to a man she detests. Feeling trapped by family duty and a loveless future, she longs for more, straying to the Morgon side of the city.
Lucius Nightwing is the eldest son of the powerful Morgon clan, and the greatest enemy of Jessen's father. When a bar-room brawl thrusts Jessen into his arms, his dragon roars to the surface, craving to sate his carnal hunger in the brown-eyed beauty. The beast in Lucius recognizes her as his own, even if the man refuses to admit the truth.
Contains mature themes.
Juliette Cross
Juliette calls lush, moss-laden Louisiana home where she lives with her husband, four children, and black lab named Kona. She is the multi-published author of paranormal and fantasy romance. She has a B.A. in creative writing from Louisiana State University, a M.Ed. in gifted education, and was privileged to study under the award-winning author Ernest J. Gaines in grad school. From the moment she read JANE EYRE as a teenager, she fell in love with the Gothic romance--brooding characters, mysterious settings, persevering heroines, and dark, sexy heroes. Even then, she not only longed to read more novels set in Gothic worlds, she wanted to create her own.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great start of a new series. A new side to supernatural romances. Definitely looking forward to the main series
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"Jessen, if you don't know it by now, my heart is already yours." - Lucius NightwingIf someone had told me that it IS possible to have a good, complete story in only a bit more than 100 pages, with no prequel of said story anywhere to grab on, I would have laughed. Loudly. While holding my stomach and rolling on the floor. Now this doesn't mean I haven't read such books before. I have, but they usually come from authors I have tried before. However, Juliette Cross managed to prove she CAN do it!Lucius Nightwing and Jessen Cade are two creatures that could and should never be together. Lucius is a Morgon and Jessen is a human, and their families are business rivals. But after a girls-night-out goes wrong in his club after which he saves her, Lucius can't deny his dragon wants this woman more than anything. And once a dragon finds his mate, there's nothing anyone can do to keep them apart....I do love me some hot romance. I also loooove anything to do with dragons, and strong heroines. And Alphas, duh! So you can imagine my delight when I realized that this book had them all. It has the passion and the sexual tension - God knows how I managed to survive reading it without screaming, like I was the one needing to get laid instead of the characters. But it was all good, because Cross doesn't disappoint. She gave me sexy scenes that were enough to get my laptop scorched inside-out!She also gave me two wonderful main characters, full of flaws and deep personalities. Lucius was a delicious hot Alpha male, one that takes no shit from people who try to harm what is his - be it his business, his family, or his woman - and Jess was a strong woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind and defend equality between the species no matter how others treated her. She even gave Lucius a run for his money when he was being too stubborn! The story wasn't focused only on romance, though. It gave a strong message against the racism towards people who are different from us - the Morgons were half-dragons, yes, but they were superior to humans despite them not abusing that fact. And yet they were treated like crap from humanity, with lies being spread and parents warning their daughters not to get near them! Plus, there was some serious action in there, mainly because Jess was one unfortunate soul who always found herself in the middle of a fight.I've already started the next book, and I can't wait to get to the good parts! Lorian is my favorite character - what can I say, I'm addicted to the strong silent type - and I'm seriously anxious to see how his love story will work out! PS: Call me greedy, but I wouldn't mind if Cross decided to write a book for Slade, or the Rowanflame twins, or even Demetrius (yes, he did attract some of my attention, surprisingly)! In fact, I would welcome it! But that's just me and my fangirling, hahaha!***I was given an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5SOULFIRE is a short book, but it was easy to fall into. Jessen's father is dead set on her marrying who he wants her to, but Aron has never been and will never be what she wants. Her father uses her love for her sister to keep her in line, but when she meets Lucius she starts to see what a relationship could be like and starts pushing back. You can't help but immediately like Jessen. She is the daughter of one of the most powerful humans yet manages to be down to earth. Its easy to feel the emotions she's feeling and to see why she resents being her fathers pawn. Lucius is a Morgon and is happy taking care of his family and keeping to himself. He hasn't yet found his heartmate but the pull he feels for Jessen lets him know he's found her. Both Lucius and Jessen have an instant attraction, humans and Morgans however live separate lives and they have to fight for each other and their feelings. I really didn't want SOULFIRE to end. It was clear that the next book would be focused on two other characters and I didn't feel like we got enough of Lucius and Jessen. Why couldn't this be longer? Wahhhh... (ok I will stop whining now)Cross did a great job of opening up this new world to her readers and bringing the supporting characters to the front so we could learn a little about them as we were falling in love with the couple. As much as I enjoyed SOULFIRE I hope that book 2, Windburn, will be a little longer so that we can get more in depth with the couple and the new world that is forming around them with humans and Morgons finding their partners in each other.* This book was provided free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
