Book Description
His kiss was fire and passion. She shivered, wondering how he knew just how to touch her, to
send her spiraling into an abyss of pleasure...
For centuries, the Dragon Kings have lived among mortals, forsaking their true selves. But for Kelton, hiding in the realm of shadows—and existing only in the world of dreams—is no longer an option. A human woman claims to know that he, like other dark warriors of his kind, is real. That the legends about these powerful, seductive men with hearts ablaze are true. And that, with just one embrace, Kelton could destroy her…or love her until the end of time.
Bernadette Davies is an anthropologist who knows better than to fall into the arms of a Dragon King. But how can she resist Kelton when he’s so willing to share his secrets and bare his soul? He hasn’t met a beautiful, trustworthy woman like Bernadette in…forever. But once they give into their mutual desire, their worlds will never be the same. Soon Bernadette must face her dilemma: Should she expose the truth about Kelton in the name of science? Or join him in his battle with the dark forces—in the name of love?
My Review
The Light Fae Queen came to Bernadette and convinced her that dragons exist and need to be brought to the public's attention. So for over a year Bernadette has been telling people about dragons and how she has proof they exist. She's been looking into Dreagan Industries who she suspects are all dragons so she confronts Kelton, one of the owners of the business. He knows she's being used by the Fae Queen and knows that she might have proof of their existence so he opens up to her and tells her the truth about himself.
Kelton tells Bernadette everything but she knows that's only because he plans on erasing her memories before she leaves so he has no reason not to tell her the truth. I found that a little sad but I understood why she couldn't be allowed to remember anything. Dragons have been in hiding from humans for thousands of years and they know that humans would try to kill or experiment on them if they knew about them. I really liked watching Kelton and Bernadette get to know each other with no secrets between them.
Then there's the crazy Fae queen manipulating Bernadette for her own uses and the huge danger and fight that brought about in the story. There's a missing Dragon King, a crazy Fae queen who's been lying about a lot of stuff for a very long time. Kelton and Bernadette are staying together and getting closer while danger is looming just over the horizon. There were a lot of interesting secondary characters that I have more questions about and hope to see them in upcoming books but Rhi was by far the most interesting secondary character that I want to know more about and want to see again. She is going to be something else but I don't know what and I want to know what kept talking to her or who. It was strange that she kept hearing a voice but I have no idea who it was. I want to know more.
I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next because there always seemed to be something happening in this story to move it along. The ending was phenomenal and has me wanting to read the next book in this series.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Disclosure: I was give an ARC of this book via NetGalley but all opinions and thoughts are my own.
Sounds like a winner all around.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteI always enjoy her books. I'm slightly behind on her and need to get caught up. Nice review!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI read a Donna Grant book about werewolves awhile back (2008, I think) but only gave it a 2. It sounds like her writing has improved quite a bit. I'll have to give her another chance!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do because this was good.
DeleteIt's an author I heard a lot about and I need to try her books too
ReplyDeleteI hope you do.
DeleteDragons always float my boat.
ReplyDeleteI do hope she expands on those interesting secondary characters in later books in the series.
I hope so too.
DeleteOhhh edge of your seat book!
ReplyDeleteit sure was.

DeleteI have quite a few of her books on my kindle. I need to start reading them. This one sounds hot.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like her books.
DeleteGlad to see you enjoyed this one! The blurb kind of reminds me of early Sherrilyn Kenyon.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!
I can see that.
DeleteI really need to try this series. I have read and enjoyed Donna Grant's contemporaries so I bet I would have good luck with this one. Great review!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do.
DeleteThis does sound good. I've been meaning to try her Dragons after reading about her cowboys. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many of her other books.
DeleteSounds good! Do you know if it's going to be a series of interconnected standalones (each with a different couple) or whether this couple continues in the next book?
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea.
