Magic, shifters, and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Inheriting a cottage in Ireland seems like a stroke of pure luck to Grace Connolly — as is a chance meeting with her mysterious (and hot) new neighbor. Soon, Boston’s most up-and-coming harpist finds herself mixing business with pleasure and getting to know Finn Hurley — intimately.But all is not as it seems with the alluring man from … the alluring man from next door, nor in the seaside village of Ballyfianna. Magic, shapeshifters, and legendary pots of gold? The surprises don’t end there — not when Grace’s family secrets come to light. Before she knows it, her mini-adventure — and sizzling romance — become a fight between good and evil. Ruthless enemies are muscling in on Finn’s home turf, and Grace will need more than the luck of the Irish to survive. Does she dare unleash the hidden power within her — a force she’s been warned never to use?
After a decade of military service, dragon shifter Finn Hurley is finally free to track down the elusive beauty he’s secretly loved for years. When he discovers her in his hometown, it seems like destiny is smiling on him. He should have known nothing in life comes easy — especially love.
Because Ballyfianna is no longer the peaceful, sleepy place it once was, and Grace has unwittingly become involved in its troubles. Bitter enemies from beyond its borders are plotting to seize power, while traitors are conspiring within. But they are all mere puppets to an even more treacherous enemy lurking in the background. Can this battle-weary warrior defeat evil and finally find his happy ending?
Don’t miss Anna Lowe’s FIRE MAIDENS: Billionaires & Bodyguards series!
Danger lurks over Europe, where a ruthless dragon clan plots to seize power in the grandest, most glamorous cities. The guardians of old have summoned a new generation of shifter heroes to protect the castles, cathedrals, and cobblestoned streets of their ancestral homes — and to seek out the last of the Fire Maidens, women coveted by the dark lords for their royal blood. Those women are absolutely off-limits to the young warriors tasked with protecting them. But destiny, of course, has other ideas…

She is in for a greater shock when she finds out she is a Fire Maiden. Finn only has a week to convince Grace she is his mate before she has to leave Ireland. Much adventure and romance to be found. This is a voluntary review.

Great storyline, love the characters. Very entertaining. I was given an ARC as a gift from the author without obligations. I am providing an honest review.
I found this book to be rich, fulfilling and delightfully entertaining in only a way this author can do. Technically you can read each happy ending book on its own but l recommend you really must start at the first book of the series to experience the full community, love and antics that the characters portray as they overlap into each others stories. Love and sex scenes included so for mature readers only.
Another engaging entry into this series. Although the beginning was slow as the story began to build, (and I was not completely in love with the Heroine), once she surrendered to her gifts and the magic in the story, it became an exciting shifter adventure with heart-stopping excitement and action. I loved that the author has drawn on local Irish mythology, music and folklore to colour this tale. Although each book has the same premise, this author has a gift for keeping each location and romance fresh and interesting.
Loved it. Interesting characters. Great story. I recommend it

I loved this magically romantic novel. Finn and Grace met briefly as children and never forgot each other. When they are reunited as adults, they know instantly that they are soul mates. Don’t we all wish for that perfect person that will fit us just exactly right?
However, it’s Ireland and not a dream world. Not everyone welcomes Grace. The townspeople of Ballyfianna don’t all agree on what is desirable for their future. Grace gets caught up in this conflict and proves to be instrumental in the magical solution. And since it’s Ireland, it involves a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow…..really! You’ll be amazed that Anna Lowe convinces you this makes sense!
So if you like magic, intrigue, suspense, and romance (and who doesn’t?), pick up a copy today!

Music Magic
This book seemed to have a gentle tone in the telling. Not that the sentiment was lovey dovey.
Grace is embodies the characteristics of the fire maiden by being compassionate, caring, stubborn, independent, resilient and nurturing.
Finn is used to being overlooked by family friends and comrades. He had a wandering major and never felt like he fit anywhere. He is super loyal to the ones that he cares for and he we’ll fight for what he believes is right.
The history of their first meeting set the tone of the story line perfectly.
Inheriting a cottage in Ireland seems like a stroke of purse luck for Grace Connolly, especially after she is reunited with her childhood friend. When Finn Hurley finds the woman he has been searching for in his hometown he believes destiny is smiling upon him. But the small town of Ballyfianna is not as peaceful as it used to be and Grace unwillingly becomes involved in the problem.
This was a very sweet romance. Both Grace and Finn were amazing characters with steamy chemistry. Grace is a beautiful musician who knows very little about magic and nothing about shifters. Being saved by a dragon, who is Finn, blows her mind and makes her doubt everything she knows. I really loved her unique way of feeling and using magic.Finn is a sweet and kind protective alpha male. He was just perfect and I loved the scenes with his nephews and nieces. Even though Grace is only in Ireland for a week she falls hard and fast for Finn, and he for her..
These two had a fast and sweet romance. They have to deal with annoying and hateful locals, constant interruptions from family, and enemy shifters trying to take power. This book was everything I look for in a paranormal romance.
I cannot wait for the next book to come out because I want to know Lachlan’s story!
*ARC provided by the author for an honest review.*
Finn and Grace were childhood friends that were seperated but they never forgot one another. They meet again years later and their feelings for one another are still there. Finn is a great character. He knows what he wants and that is Grace and his dragon agrees. He will do anything he can to be with her and protect her. Grace is a strong character but is confused with all that is happening to her. She is glad that Finn is there to help her. Danger seems to be at every turn and they have to work together to defeat their enemies.
What a great way to start a story- I just loved it. This an action packed adventure that has you anticipating what might happen next. I have enjoyed every story in this series and look forward to the next one. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Rated 1-5 stars w/ 5 being the best

Performance: 5 Stars
Story: 5 Stars
I keep saying that each book is a favorite, but it’s true. Each location and couple is more fun than the previous. I was looking forward to this book and wasn’t disappointed at all. It kept me engaged all day. I’m looking forward to the next installment. Ms. Osborne’s performance has completely improved with each book and I look forward to listening to her.
I love Grace and her moxie! She was such a lovely and lively character. I loved that she was biracial and how it played into the story. Finn was adorable! Loved how he interacted with his nephews. His family was fabulous as well. I absolutely loved how the richness of family relationships played into this particular story. It’s been a theme in all of Ms. Lowe’s books, but this one just seemed to tip the scales a bit more for me.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of the audiobook. I also purchased the Kindle version.

This story started out quite differently than the other stories. First of all, Finn had met his mate when he was ten years old. After he finished his business in Ireland, he was going to America to find her. Surprise! His mate inherited a cottage from her uncle in Ireland & now Finn is her neighbor. This story is really intense, and the danger actually comes from one of their own. The action scenes are really intense and excitement building. Grace finds a magic of her own hidden in the caves of Ireland, changing her view of her entire world. The narrator in this series does not fail in her delivery, making the story that much more enjoyable.
Fire Maidens: Ireland is one heck of a story! Book five of the Billionaires and Bodyguards series, it’s a fresh new perspective to the series. It has lots of intrigue, interesting characters, and a classic good vs. evil storyline! I loved all the history and relics combined with magic!
Grace has just inherited a cottage in Ireland from her uncle she visited as a child. Going back there brings back tons of great memories-especially ones of Finn. Finn saved her life one day while they were playing in the next door castle ruins and she has never fogot that nor him!
Finn is dumbfounded when the girl from his childhood shows up in Ballyfianna! What are the chances?? He’s been searching for her and now it seems destiny has brought her to him.
But Ballyfianna isn’t such a sleepy Irish village any longer. There is corruption afoot and the Guardians of Ireland are trying to figure everything out. When Grace arrives to see the cottage, she inadvertently sets off a bid for power from unscrupulous shifter clans that have been wreaking havoc across Europe!
I absolutely loved this book! The story had a different approach from the others in the series and I loved this different perspective! Grace and Finn knew each other and they already shared a bond of sorts, so their trust in one another was totally believable! I love how Anna weaves the story around the different shifters, their Fire Maiden, and magic! This is definitely worth the treat and is now a favorite of mine!
Another fire maiden book . These books are paranormal romance but also easy reading with a little danger.
This book is set in Ireland and features Finn from the previous book, and Grace a talented musician revisiting Ireland. It’s set in a small town, so you have that small-town feeling and everyone knowing one another. Being a dragon shifter romance made it very enjoyable to me.

I have to say this book captivated ME from the first page, to the last-full of magic and your dream boyfriend or should I say Dragon!
Grace Connolly inherited the old Coglin’s cottage. She had one week to rent it out before she had to leave. Things were different when she ran into THE boy. Plus falling off a cliff changed things too.
Finn is a DragonShifter plus he helped the guardians. Finn couldn’t believe that after all these years she’d come back and she’s his MATE!
This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books.
