BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The Dark Kings are sworn to defend an ancient legacy of dragon magic. But their fiercest challenge lies in the modern world, where a woman’s love conquers all. These are their stories.
This book contains the first 3 Dark Kings prequels + a bonus story, “Passion’s Claim”:
“Dark Craving”
Fueled by ancient magic—and enflamed by human desire—the Dragon King known as Hal can transform himself at will into one of the legendary winged creatures he is sworn to protect. But one thing he can never do is fall in love…with a mortal woman.
“Night’s Awakening”
The dark immortal warriors were never meant to experience human desire. But when Guy, a member of an ancient order of shape-shifting warriors, meets Elena—a mere mortal whose beauty and blind ambition shakes him to his core—all bets are off…
“Dawn’s Desire”
For centuries, the Dragon Kings have hidden their shapeshifting powers from the world. But when a mortal enemy threatens to expose them, the warrior Banan must leave his secret lair in the Highlands to risk his life for the dragons within—and resist the temptations of human love.
“Passion’s Claim”
Banan has been waiting for centuries for someone like Jane. Guy knew it was love at first sight with Elena. Can two Dragon Kings commit to two immortal women for eternity? Or does fate have something else in store?
REVIEW:
Dark Heat is a set of novella’s from Donna Grant’s new Dragon King series. Each story follows one of the Dragon Kings and how a simple twist of fate will change everything for these Kings that are older than time.
Dark Craving: Characters: Dragon King Haldor Wilson & Cassandra Hunter
This was a good story, short and sweet and to the point. Not a whole lot of drama per se. But a great beginning to Donna’s Dragon King series.
Night Awakening: Characters: Dragon King Guy & Elena Griffin
Another Dragon King falls. 🙂 But in a good way. Guy and Elena’s story is a bit of a whirlwind story starting with a death and end with one of them going under cover. Night Awakening sets up perfectly for the next novella Dawn’s Desire.
Dawn’s Desire: Dragon King Brana & Jane
Brana & Jane are just too sweet together. How can you not love a story where the Plain Jane girl is the ultimate prize for the very handsome, yet dangerous King of the blues? In Dawn’s Desire we finally get to meet up the the Dragon Kings enemy and get a little insight into the why.
Passion’s Claim:
This was a bonus story about two Dragon Kings who don’t have any clue on how to woo their women. These to very short stories made me laugh, cry and want to slap some Dragon Kings around.
I loved that Donna put all these stories together into one book so that there was no waiting to read the next story. I am very much looking forward to the first full length book in the Dragon King series. Darkest Flame will be out in April 2014.
