Covenant is BJ McCall’s fourth Dragonfire book, and one of the most fun to read. I like this world Ms. McCall has created, one with passion and desire around every corner, and paranormal characters who have the same worries as any of the normal people: insecurity, low self esteem, indecision, all are seen in this one, and it made the story more intriguing. The characters in this one were well developed, and I enjoyed the interaction between all of them.

Livia Hazac is from a typical middle-class dragon family, and has watched her heart’s desire for years. She is generous and attentive to friends, regardless of who they are. I liked that she helped an old lady, with no thought of reward, just to be her friend. I like that she has her own goals in life, besides wanting a man she doesn’t think will ever notice her. She has a core of inner strength, and I found her to be a loyal and intelligent woman as well.

Byrne Tregaron is a man born of privilege, strong in character and willing to work hard for what he wants. He is handsome and intelligent, and determined to enjoy life to the fullest. I liked that he didn’t just walk away from the covenant, and that he was willing to do what was required, in spite of his inner turmoil. As he got to know Via, I was surprised she never revealed her true identity, but I wanted to watch as plans unfolded for these two.

There are plenty of secrets here, such as Via’s real identity, and the truth behind the covenant. There is lots of heat in this one, and the scenes between Via and Byrne are off the charts for pure sexiness and passion. I really enjoyed the big reveal at the end of this, and even the one sad point was handled with gentle care, bringing a sense of closure to an old hurt. This is one for those who like knowing that sometimes, dreams do come true, and once in a while, you can have what you want. But beware, this one could burn your fingers, so handle with care.
