Queen’s Birds of Prey Series1.Mercy2.Blaze3.Judith4.Piper5.Remington6.EsmereldaBlaze and her warrior sisters had been around for several millennia, their time of fighting in wars and conquering kingdoms now a distant memory. Before Queen Dante passed, she’d graced her prized warriors—the falcon, hawk, eagle, phoenix, vulture, and owl—with humanity as well as immortality. Blaze, a hawk, had done … immortality.
Blaze, a hawk, had done many things in her immortal lifetime. Now, making toys was a pastime she enjoyed. However, the owner of the print shop that made the blueprints for her designs had not only ripped her off, but several other companies by giving them faulty blueprints and keeping the correct ones for himself to profit from. Blaze had caught the defect before she had put her project into production, the other firms hadn’t been so lucky and had lost millions. Given the opportunity, Blaze purchased the print shop.
Bryson had worked for the print shop for ten years. However, he had no knowledge of the owner’s dirty dealings. When the new owner stepped in, he was happy to still have a job and was eager to help in any way he could. What he hadn’t expected was the jolt he received when he shook the new owner’s hand. In that moment he knew two things, she wasn’t human, and she was his mate.

‘Blaze’ is book two of Kathi S. Barton’s “Queen’s Birds of Prey”. Imagine my surprise when I’m going through my books and records to realize I’d somehow missed reading and reviewing this one!!! This is where we get to know Blaze, Queen Dante’s hawk while continuing the journey of Mercy, the Queen’s falcon, her mate Joel, and we see a bit of Piper, the Queen’s Phoenix. Oh, and Blaze meets her mate Bryson and his sister Clara. As in most of Ms. Barton’s books, there are shocking secrets that come to light within Bryson’s family. One in particular that shocked me more than the others. You’ll know which one it is when it’s revealed to you as well. I love the chemistry between this author’s Hero and heroine. Her stories always take me through all the drama, angst, intrigue, and the sigh worthy romance that makes those few hours melt away while I’m lost within her world. What more could any reader ask for?
Blaze is the hawk of Queen Dante’s birds of prey. She like her sisters was granted immortality and has done a great many things in her lifetime. Her current passion is making toys, at least it is unless she’s being ripped off like she currently is by the print shop that makes her blueprint designs. Blaze only expected to confront the man about the faulty blueprints and then be on her way. But things never work out as expected, and now Blaze finds herself the new owner of the company. She also has another surprise waiting for her inside her new acquisition…one of the employees is her mate.
Bryson has known struggles from an early age. Having his mother walk out on him and his younger sister and a loser father who’s convinced he’ll hit the next jackpot with his gambling ways, has left Bryson feeling more protective of his sister and a bit jaded. When his place of business gets a new owner who seems to want to see the company succeed and only has her employees best interest at heart, Bryson is shocked to discover she’s more than just his new boss…she’s his mate, someone he was convinced he would never find given he’s almost 40 and was still single.
Blaze and Bryson may have accepted what fate put in front of them. But Blaze isn’t one to take to threats, especially when it involves those she loves. Bryson’s father is going to find out one way or the other that Blaze won’t take things lying down. But there’s also more at work and Bryson will soon discover everything he’s known his whole life is just a big lie…
This was an awesome book. Had some things pop up that readers wouldn’t expect to happen.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book**
