CAMAIL Laure: I cannot recommend this series enough! It has everything one would want: smut, romance, epic characters and a really awesome and surprising plot.

Jessica S.: After too long I finally picked up the second installment of the Kingmaker trilogy by Amanda Bouchet, with Breath of Fire. Cat and Griffin's journey continues as they fight to save their kingdom and each other. My mind was really sore to try to recall what had happened previously. What I vaguely recalled was Griffin kidnapping Cat for her powers, and naturally, they fall in love amid some bickering and teasing and whatnot. I continue to love the banter between these two, though now things were definitely more on a romantic level of bickering.

Though Cat and Griffin are decidedly a couple, they still have trust issues to work through and this is clearly evident in the beginning of the book. I actually thought things were going in a different direction, until we immediately got back on track. So never fear, Cat and Griffin are pretty much cemented together.

Cat's evil mother is still at large and being an enemy to contend with, but until that day comes, Cat and Griffin have to deal with the enemies that are in much closer range. From what I gather, they are still doing whatever possible to gain control over their kingdom and put an end to the tyranny their current...

Kindle Customer: I was worried that after such a good first book, it would be difficult to maintain the pace, comedy, excitement and entertainment, with the second. That is certainly not an issue for Amanda Bouchet. These books are a joy to read and I defy you not to fall in love with them. I can't wait for the third book in the Kingmaker Trilogy, once again, Thank you Amanda Bouchet.

Laurie Bell: The second in a triad and just as interesting, fast paced and full of sass and adventure as the first. Look forward to reading the third. Could not put it down. An author to watch for !!!

TK: A witty and strong female lead, the perfect mix of action, romance and story and a sneak into Greek mythology. This book kept me reading till late into the night!

Delen Mite: Kleiner Hinweis für alle Leser, in die Bd. 1 genauso wie ich vor einer ganzen Weile gelesen haben und nicht mehr 100 % alle Details wissen: Bd 2 beginnt basierend auf einem Ereignis aus Bd. 1 und Griffin regt sich fürchterlich auf, Cat ist am Boden zerstört. Haltet durch, ihr kommt schnell wieder in diese Geschichte rein und alles klärt sich auf. Das Buch ist komplett flüssig geschrieben und super spannend. Ich konnte es nicht aus der Hand legen und jetzt muss ich leider leider ein ganzes Jahr warten bis Bd. 3 erscheint.

Andrea Ferrer: Breath of Fire is a perfect example of why I love Fantasy Romance.

As excited as I can be about a series, I'm always wary about a second book, specially one that follows a first that I couldn't love any more. With time and experience, you start trusting the authors and your nerves diminish. But Bouchet is a new author,A Promise of Fire was her debut, so I was worried... well, from now on, I will never doubt her again. To put it simply: I. ADORED. THE. BOOK. In fact, I'm still reeling from it, but I think once this post-amazing-book haze goes away, I will like it more than book one.

There were many things I loved, and in no particular order:

1. Bouchet didn't do the typical second book scheme of separating the main couple. Or of adding a third person to "spice things up". I cannot find the words to express how thankful I am for this. Instead, she focused on making this relationship, so new and still fragile, into one of pure steel. By the end of Breath of Fire, you cannot imagine anything petty separating Cat and Griffin. This, along with the superb writing, is one of the reasons she joins C.L. Wilson as my favorite Fantasy Romance authors.

2. The Heat...
