REVIEW - The Enforcer (Fire's Edge #3) by Abigail Owen


The Book
Release Date: 9 December 2019

Death comes for everyone. Even Drake Chandali. The aging process that twists all unmated dragon shifters’ bodies into something useless has taken hold of his body centuries early. A mate could have reversed the process, but now it’s too late. To protect his team of enforcers, he leaves, and comes face to face with the woman he’d thought was human when he saved her from a fire months before.

Except she’s not human. She’s a mate.

Camilla Carrillo almost lost her family to wildfire. To discover she’s fated to mate a creature made of flame and rage, and become one herself, should be terrifying. But somehow a rightness settles inside her, especially when she’s around the glowering red dragon shifter who wants nothing to do with her.

When Drake learns Cami bears his mark—the same mark as the High King—he refuses to believe she’s meant to be his. It’s too late. How could he turn Cami only to take her with him to the grave? At the same time, he can’t walk away. Hiding her from the corrupt, rotting High King might be the last honorable thing Drake ever does with the little time he has left.

Each book in the Fire's Edge series is a STANDALONE:
* The Mate (prequel)
* The Boss
* The Rookie
* The Enforcer

My Review    5 STARS
In this book of the series we finally get Drake's turn to find a mate, and happy lady Cami who likes to talk is the perfect fit for stoic little talker Drake.

We get more action from the team as they fight fires, we see more of Rune and his rescued mates and the Alaz team show their real colours to the team and the Alliance interfere with the running of things.

Cami is a strong character, very family orientated with strong beliefs.  Cami is the only person who can tolerate Drake when Rune brings him into his caves as he leaves his team in order to die quietly away from them.  However, with the nearness of Cami, Drake starts to feel and get better, not that he notices at first.  

When Cami decides she has to go back home to help her family, Rune and Skylar, Cami's friend, engineer it that Drake will find Cami as she tries to leave and get Drake to volunteer to be her bodyguard until he dies.

Of course there are complications and Drake finds he and his Dragon want more from Cami, but he can't.  Not until he finds that her touch is what is helping him back to a place he has not felt in years and especially when he finds that the Alaz team is after her.

Really enjoyed this book and meeting new family members and getting more from previous team members, their mates and other members yet to get their own stories.
