Swimming with the dolphins is more than a job to Abigail Drake; they have been her salvation in the last few years.  When Abby witnesses a Russian Mafia execution on the docks of Sea Haven, the dolphins protect her and keep her alive as she swims to safety. Aleksandr Volstov catches Abby hovering over the body of his dead partner on the dock and has a gun pointed to her forehead ready to pull the trigger before he recognizes her.    Neither Aleksandr nor Abby are sure who is more surprised to find each other here, however, Aleksandr is determined to keep her in his sights and Abby is equally determined to stay away rom the sexy Interpol agent who broke her heart.

OCEANS OF FIRE is the third book in the Drake Sisters eries and is thankfully, a full length book.  For Abby and Aleksandr’s story, Ms. Feehan has the space to delve into an in-depth story line on their relationship and expand the history of the Drake family with the advent of the hysterically funny Aunt Carol and her memories of Sea Haven.  It is never easy to be a part of such a large family, especially one so unique as these ladies,  the dynamics of the different magical gifts and the ways the girls learned to handle them growing up are brought out in more detail with hysterically funny stories coming to the forefront.  As Abby’s sisters give her the support she wouldn’t seek out but desperately needed, you get to look into the relationships between the seven sisters and begin to have a deeper insight of what growing up in such a large family is really like.   The absolute best part of the Drake series is the laughter!!  The teasing between the sisters, the teasing of poor Jonas, who is only trying to keep them safe, is so much fun to read. You will find yourself chuckling through out the book and in a full blown belly laugh when a certain ceremony is performed much to Abby’s dismay or is it anticipation?    I can only hope that the remaining four sister’s stories will be full length novels, giving us the full effect of Ms. Feehan’s entertaining style of writing.

OCEANS OF FIRE - Christine Feehan A Drake Sisters Novel, Book 3 Ms. Feehan consistently delivers multi-faceted characters, intriguing plots, and sensuous romances. Her latest offering, OCEANS OF FIRE, does not disappoint. The small town of Sea Haven as the center of international intrigue works well as the impetus for Abigail and Aleksandr to reunite. The plot has plenty of tense moments while the protagonists work together to solve a murder. Abigail is not about to let Aleksandr back into her life easily or stand idly by while he puts himself in danger to protect her, which is a perfect foil for his Alpha tendencies.

I admire Ms. Feehan's ability to make infuriatingly arrogant Aleksandr someone you find yourself pulling for, a tricky task since he expects so much from Abigail in spite of the past mistakes he refuses to admit to. The chemistry between the two, despite all of the problems they encounter, leads to some explosive confrontations and steamy love scenes. Supporting characters are well developed and the introduction of the fascinating and mysterious Ilya Prakenskii will leave the reader primed for the next novel in the series.

This is the third book in the Drake Sister Series. However, reading the previous tales (LOVER BEWARE: MAGIC IN THE WIND & THE TWILIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS) are not a prerequisite. So enjoy a little bit of magic, a dash of intrigue, and all the romance to be found in OCEANS OF FIRE.
