Book #4 You Slay Me
Title:: You Slay Me, an Aisling Grey, Guardian Novel
Author: Katie MacAlister
Publication Year: 2004
Synopsis: Aisling Grey is sent to Paris by her employer, who also happens to be her uncle, to deliver a 600-year old artifact to its new wealthy owner. Upon arrival, Aisling has the artifact snatched out from under her nose and from under the dead body of the woman who purchased it. With the help of a cabbie, Rene, and a cast-out demon from Abbadon in the guise of an overly enthusiastic Neufoundland dog, she has to find out how to get her artifact back from the theif. The problem? He's a dragon, she's his mate (and a Guardian and a Demon Lord) and everyone Aisling runs into ends up dead with her as the main suspect.
This was a fun and fast read! Ms. MacAlister keeps the pace going fast, and I kept trying to guess who the bad guy was, and failed every time....or so I thought. Aisling is a likable, if a bit clutzy heroine who seems to get the hottest guys in Paris falling at her feet...who cares if they're dragons? Her supporting characters made me laugh (and, I have to admit, cringe a little since one of my novels has a character very similar to Jim in it) with their antics. It's not a book that will make you think, but if you're looking for an entertaining read, I'd a copy of this up.
The Reader's Rating: 8 out of 10 books
Amazon Link: You Slay Me
Related Books you May Enjoy: One for the Money (a Stephanie Plum book) by Janet Evanovitch

And so I ask you, would you let the fact that hot and sexy man is a dragon bother you, really?
