SCORCHED BY DESIRE
Dimitri lives to protect the secret of the Dragon Kings from the human race. Bound by a bond stronger than blood to the Kings, Dimitri uses his strength and prowess to defend a thousand-year-old secret. But when an oh-so-sexy, slightly absent-minded archaeologist wanders into his midst, Dimitri will have to give up his rules, and give in to desire...
When Dr. Faith Reynold stumbles upon an ancient skeleton that appears it comes from a dragon, she’s completely taken aback. A woman of science, there’s no way in her mind that this mythological creature can exist. But when a devilishly handsome man named Dimitri intercepts her path to uncovering the truth, Faith’s curiosity turns into all-consuming passion. She’s never felt this way about any man before. But when Dimitri reveals his biggest secret, can she learn to love the man—as well as the dragon within, in Firestorm, the next Dark Kings novel by New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant.
I continue to be obsessed with this series. I love this world. Dragon Kings who are really protecting human and human who would do them harm. Yeah, right. Good luck with that. These kings are so strong and they love so deeply that I am completely taken by them all.
For this book, it was Dimitri that had my heart. He returns to the isle of his birth to protect the secret of the Kings. But he finds an archaeologist that seems to have a reverence for the bones she has discovered. Her tender care of them and her absent-minded manner has him paying her more attention than other humans. What is it about her that has him so wound up? And when a large secret erupts in the night, Dimitri has to decide what to tell her. I so love how deeply these Kings feel and Dimitri is no exception. They may have a King of Kings but they are each a King in their own right. They make their own decisions. And I'm always cheering for them. I was so happy with Dimitri's choices. I wanted to cheer him on.
As for Faith, I loved her. She was deeply effected by the bones she unearthed. There was a connection for her. She is meant to find them. Meant to find Dimitri. And here is my wondering. I keep wondering if this is playing into the hands of their enemies or it's the strength they will need to defeat them. Because there is a bigger story here. Each book unfolds a couple but muddies the water further on those that would expose and destroy the Kings. I haven't decided on which the mates end up being but I am hoping they are the strength that will be the deciding factor to the Kings success.
I've slowed down on reading these books. Not because I don't want to devour them, I so do. It's just that I'm nearing the end of the books that are available. New ones are scheduled for NEXT year. Oh yes, I know that's sooner at this time of year but it's just not soon enough. I need them ALL. I want to stack them up next to me and go from one to the next until I know all their secrets and then I want to start again.
If you haven't got stuck in this series, you need to get on that as soon as possible. Any shifter lover will love this book and this series.
