With plenty of action and a nice pace, THE BOSS was a pleasant read.
A few things stuck out to me when I was done reading THE BOSS. I really enjoyed the authors take on the dragon shifters. I really enjoyed the job they perform and the way they work together. There was plenty of action in THE BOSS between the firefights and fighting the bad guys. The secondary characters brought a lot to the table and I want to know more about them.
A few things I didn't love. We were kinda thrown into things without a whole lot of background given. I would have liked to know more about the dragons and even Delaney. The romance between Delaney and Finn started off pretty fast, but I didn't necessarily FEEL their connection as fiercely as it was explained.
I would read more in this world and I wouldn't mind seeing the other dragons find their mates.

I love finding into and falling Paranormal books that have a good taste of Romance. I had the ability of reading The Boss by Abigail Owens, and let’s just say that I can’t believe all that it offered me, as the reader.
I fell in love with the characters, as well as the story development. I couldn’t believe that the author was able to manage such a feat – building the world that she did, full of magic that was of it’s own kind. This was most definitely considered a 4 Star Book for me!

The writing wasn’t good in this one which is so confusing because I LOVED the Rogue that was published a year later. This book really just did not feel polished at all.
I’ll give #3 a chance because I already bought it but will hold off on buying the rest of the series.
Read on my kindle from 10-11pm and then again from 1:30am to 4am. The third trimester is proving useful for reading productivity

Abigail Owen is a new to me author, The Boss is the 1st book in her Fire's Edge series (there is a short story prequel).
I like the world she has developed so far but there is so much going on still left unanswered.

Shoot, almost another review I forgot to write. Coming back to this a handful of days after completing I’ve found it a little forgettable. I liked it, but it didn’t really have any memorable characters or world elements. I liked the idea of this, but I think it wanted to be grander than it actually was. The kings/different types of dragons/how the US worked was more complicated than it needed to be, but yet our two main love interests were kind of undeveloped. They weren’t bad, but I can’t really tell you much about them personally. I don’t see myself continuing on. I did read this in one night though, so it’s very readable.

The Boss (Fire’s Edge #1)
By Abigail Owen
4 stars
I thought that The Boss was a really great read. This is the second Dragon Shifter book that I have read this week and I am really starting to enjoy them. I really enjoyed the authors writing style and her imagination really shone through in the story – I could imagine what I was reading and that always helps me as a reader especially with paranormal stories. I have to say that I was really drawn to the front cover and I don’t usually take much notice of them but this one I really liked.
As soon as I started reading this book I knew I was going to love it, I was pulled in straight away. I loved the main characters Finn and Delaney, they had both been hurt but I could tell there was something there between them. Finn tried his hardest to push Delaney away and I love her tenacity in that she wasn’t going to let that happen. I think that both characters had huge growth over the story which I liked as I felt like I was on the journey with them and I really got to know them.
I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this author and the rest of this series in the future. It was a great 4 star read!

The Boss (Fire’s Edge #1)
By Abigail Owen
Rated 5 stars!!
Wowzer! Wow! Wow! I LoVe this story and did you see that cover?!! This book is outstanding! It has it all! Dragons( of course I had to mention them first), danger, love, fear, hate and a strong sassy woman. These dragons (all 10 of them) who work as enforcers are all very different. I loved learning about each of them. The colors, the shift, the man and beast. How can they be scary when they are so darn adorable! They all have different personalities but they have one thing in common.....they view each other as family.
Did I love Finn? YES! His story drew me in. I couldn’t get enough of him and his commanding voice. (Well he is the “Boss”. ) He has had a rough past and that is leading him to be cautious of any future. Delaney.....Delaney....Delaney! You are a favorite! It’s not too often i have a favorite girl. But Dang you are so sassy and strong! I love your attitude! You blended in so nicely with the guys..it was kinda fun to watch (read). When you stood on that mountain and said—-those “words” to Finn I was so proud of you and all that you have overcome. Simply wonderful!
My only issue (and it’s pretty tiny) is the traitor and the Rogue. Both of these were briefly touched upon but then really nothing else was mentioned. I am going to assume it’s for setting up one of the next books. Don’t let this deter you from this book. The story is still amazing because of the connections all the characters have with each other. On a side note I enjoyed meeting Lindi (Drake's Sister) and her “boys”.
This is my first book by this author and it will not be the last! I am looking forward to (and can hardly wait)reading about all these dragon shifters in the future (hint hint). The writing flows so nicely. I made connections to this crew without even trying. Even though it’s a large cast I didn’t feel overwhelmed by meeting “the guys” all at once. That tells me how engaging the writing is. The story was different but yet something I am familiar with and the character development was very good. The characters have a nice structure among them. The fun and bantering is what makes a great book to read.
When is the next one??

The Boss by Abigail Owen is a paranormal story about Dragon shifters. I have to say that I love stories that have mythical creatures and even better when they are human/mythical creatures. This story is a fast pace read. If you start this story you will be pulled into the story and will be hard pressed to put it down until the very last word. Abigail Owen does an amazing job keeping the story moving but having a great amount of detail. Finn is a dragon shifter, who has only one mate for life. Finn has had his mate but has lost her and vows never to get so close to anyone else. Well then there is Delaney who is a spit fire. She is a woman who know what she wants and will go after it. She does have a great personality and Finn is trying to keep his distance. Will Delaney get Finn to lower his shield around his heart? I cannot wait to see what comes next.

This is a paranormal story that has just a little bit of everything in it from action to hot steamy romance. This book pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me engaged until the end. Delaney and Finn are characters that are attracted to each other from the start. They made me feel as if I was right there with them. One is running from love and the other is running from her past. Will Finn save her and finally give in to fate? A great start to a new series! I highly recommend this book
