Flame: A Dark Kings Novel by Donna Grant

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my advanced copy which I received in exchange for my honest review.

From the publisher:

If she believed in destiny, she would believe they were meant for each other.

But that fire was put out long ago. . .

Living among the Dragon Kings, Cain has spent lifetimes learning to distrust both mortals and Fae. He is a warrior born—and every instinct demands that he fight to keep his own kind safe. But when a fringe member of the Dark Fae contacts the Kings with an urgent warning, Cain is torn for the first time. How can he trust this beautiful creature when resisting his primal attraction to her is battle enough?

Noreen is horrified by what her kind and the malevolent Others are planning for the Dragon Kings. Dark Fae or not, there are lines she will not cross—even if it means risking her life. But she never imagined that she would risk her heart until she meets Cain. She wants him with a soul-deep desire that frightens her…and endangers them both. Is saying goodbye to everything Noreen has ever known worth a love that will span time and realms?

My review:

Donna Grant does not disappoint.

This is the latest book in the Dark Kings series. I suggest you read them in order because you don’t want to miss out on anything.  This book introduces us to Noreen, a Dark Fae who has been a member of the OTHERS. The Dragon Kings are at war with The Others who have powerful magic. Noreen, it turns out wants to shift her alliance to the Dragon Kings. Noreen falls in love with the Dragon King, Cain. Cain starts out by wanting any information he can get from Noreen but the longer they are together the more Cain falls for her as well. He just doesn’t know if he can trust her.

I enjoyed this series and can’t believe it’s almost at an end. This book is filled with so much passion and the characters very captivating. Read the series, you will not be disappointed.

   

Letters from Jayson

Arc provided by NetGalley and the author in exchange for an honest review.

Synopsis from the Author’s Website:


Lindsey is ready for a change. Shallow relationships and a dead-end job have left her longing for more, so when a rare but difficult opportunity presents itself for a promotion and temporary change of scenery, she jumps at the chance to try something new.

Jayson wants a quiet place to finish his current project. With one missed deadline behind him, he doesn’t have time for distractions and interruptions. 

When Lindsey temporarily moves into a beach house owned by her best friend’s fiancé, she finds that it’s already occupied… by Jayson. To him, she’s a nuisance and a distraction from his work. To her, he’s a conceited and bossy obstacle. Both annoyed at this unavoidable situation, they agree to make the most of their predicament and try to co-exist in peace until their work is done. But Lindsey and Jayson quickly learn there is a fine line between love and hate. Is it really possible to love someone that makes you so crazy? 



Review: 

Lindsay is a journalist, fed up with being passed over for promotions that are given to the male chauvinists she works with. She finally confronts her boss not caring if it means losing her job.  Worried that she’ll quit, he sends her on an assignment to Florida to interview the reclusive best-selling author, Jackson King.  He knows full well she’ll encounter many challenges along the way. 

Lindsay’s best friend’s fiancé offers her his place to stay but he fails to tell her she’ll have a roommate, Jayson. Neither one is happy to have to share the same space, but they tolerate each other by communicating via letters.  Their love story begins.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It’s funny and it’s a light-hearted.  I have read many self-published books but not one as good as this one. Characters are well developed and the storyline is fairly solid. You will want to read it non-stop.

Highly recommend.
