This short novella from Donna Grant revisits Constantine and Rhiannon. They are still on Zora, and on Earth, Winter is approaching. Rhiannon is a Fae and feels her emotions deeply. She missis Earth and the turning of the seasons. Constantine knows this, and this is the story of how he shows his love and appreciation of her.
This is a well written novella, which showcases two of the main characters of Donna Grant’s Dark Universe. The characters are true to their written personalities which makes this an enjoyable read.
I was given an ARC of the novella by Donna Grant through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
If you’ve read any other series by Nora Roberts, you won’t be disappointed with Inheritance. She can write an interesting, suspenseful book with great characters and spectacular locations. This book is a contemporary paranormal fantasy from the very start. With two great main characters of Sonya McTavish and Trey (Oliver Doyle III) the lawyer son of Sonya’s lawyer Oliver Doyle II. Add in additional secondary characters and you find that you are reading an intricate and well-developed story. The ending of this book is a cliff hanger, quite a surprising one, but it will only make you want the second book RIGHT NOW! I can’t wait to read book 2.

Donna Grant has finally gotten to Malene and Armir’s story. This is a continuation from book Everspell (Kindred series by Donna Grant) which gave us questions about whether she was killed or if something else happened to her. In Reign Armir has not given up his search for her after the battle that finished Everspell. But it’s been a year, and he is starting to doubt he’ll find her….and Donna starts an interesting, suspenseful, and surprising story. I did think that the start was a bit slow, but it did pick up at about a quarter in. Well worth reading, with no grammatical or plotting errors. The two main characters are well developed and give us a good understanding of their minds. It can be read as a stand-alone but will make better sense in the story if read from book 1 in this series, Rage. An exceptional series, the Kindred starts the entire storyline, and is an enjoyable set of books that will give the reader the best experience.

Book number 2 in the League of Lords series, and this is a really fun, interesting offering from Tracy Sumner. Our two main characters are Lady Victoria Hamilton and Finn Alexander (aka the Blue Bastard), Finn can read minds, and has the reputation of a playboy, and a scoundrel. He’s dreaming about Lady Victoria, whom he has never met. Lady Victoria also has a gift of both moving time, and blocking others supernatural powers. She decides that the two of them should be friends. And so, the story is off at breakneck speed.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I wanted to read this book because of the setting being in Ireland. And it is, in what anyone not from Ireland, exactly how you’d picture it. Our three main characters are Grace and Ava Kelly and Shane Egan. Grace and Ava have left the village of Emerald Bay a year ago for the bright lights, big city of London. Ava broke up with Shane before she left because he wouldn’t leave the village to go with her. Shane is part of his family’s business, a fisherman who believes that he can’t leave his father and brothers. Neither Ava or Shane have moved on, even though Grace is pushing Ava to forget Shane, and Shane had told Ava there was no coming back to him. This is the basic setup for the book, which take place just before Christmas. I felt the story of Ava and Shane was resolved fairly quickly and satisfactorily, but this creates another problem for the pair, and this part of the story seemed to take a long time to be resolved.
The book is well written with good main characters and supporting characters, with no noticeable grammatical errors. The plotline seems to drag in places, which is why my rating is 3.5 Stars, rounded up to 4 stars. An enjoyable book, but not enough conflict or tension.

I had a very hard time getting into this book. Cordelia is not the aware, self-assured woman who knows what she wants and has plans on getting there. Her character confused me, and I was about 30 percent in before I started understanding the story, and the characters. Once that happened, I did enjoy the book, so that if there is a second book dealing with the sister’s character, I will read it. Just know if you start reading, and seem to be struggling, keep going. The story gets better and the book is worth it. 5 stars for having a good story and satisfying finish.

This book and story remind me of Donna Grant’s earlier books in the Dark Sword, Dark Warriors, and Dark Kings series. These three series, along with her Reapers series are the backbone and back history of the two current series, of which Heart of Glass is book 3 of the Skye Druids. This book starts with Theo Frasier, Detective Inspector with the local police trying to find out who is controlling a deadly mist that is killing Druids. He meets Ferne Crawford, a Druid Seer, who felt compelled to come to Skye from Edinburgh. These two people meet, and both feel a connection to the other. Donna Grant shows the reader how to write an intricate mystery, with a romance added to make the book even more intriguing. Both main characters are very well developed and have flaws and secrets. The supporting cast is quite large, with most of them having been either main characters in earlier books, or friends and/or family of the main characters. Every book gives these characters more depth. Heart of Glass is very fast paced with enough pauses to catch your breath before moving to the next surprising element. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. Donna Grant has written a fantastic story that adds more details to the Dark Universe she’s created. If you’ve never read any of Donna’s books, reading this as a standalone might be confusing, but the prior books are the links in the chain, and are worth the time to read them for the best experience.

This is a prequel to the Dark Kings books, but also the Dark Sword and Dark Warriors. It is a story of the Dragons on Earth, when there are only dragons. We learn about them, their Kings, and the King of Dragon Kings. In particular we meet Lennox, the King of Silvers and the King of Kings. And we also meet a Fae, a Dark Fae named Allis, who has been watching her world, inhabited by both Dark and Light Fae start to fall apart and into war. She’s alone with no living family, and decides she is going to try and create a Fae Doorway, something no other Fae has been able to accomplish. Either she creates it or dies trying, but she has to get away from her world. This is the set-up Donna Grant has written to introduce us to our two main characters. Lennox, the strongest dragon on Earth, has underlying compassion and intelligence. Allis is a frightened woman who truly only wants to explore new places as her aunt had encouraged her to before her death. This is a must read if you’re a fan of Donna’s Dark Universe and gives us some history of an important character who we’ve all been waiting for their story. Mind! Donna Grant doesn’t give us all the information we want in this book, which gave me more questions, but it does tell us how things were playing out for our Dragons before humans enter onto the scene. Well written as always, my only negative is that the middle of the book seemed to go on and on longer than it needed. But the overall story is 5 Stars.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers an epic prequel to her long-running and critically acclaimed Dark Universe series.
Passion’s magic ignites a fire too hot to touch—and too wicked to die…
The stars have always called to Ailis, beckoning her to see what other realms were out there. She’s told its impossible, but that doesn’t stop her need to explore beyond what others believe. Ailis never expected to change history by creating the first doorway to another realm. She certainly never imagined opening that door to find a commanding dragon who shifts into a man. She’s irresistibly drawn to Lennox, powerless against the yearning of her body and the longing of her heart.
Magic might have chosen Lennox as King of Dragon Kings, but it’s a position he’s never wanted. Until the day a new being arrives—and irrevocably changes his life. The closer he gets to the fearless, ravishing woman, the more he fights the passion that flares between them. He lives only for his duty, but one fiery kiss unleashes a firestorm of desire that will ripple across eons and realms. Fate might have brought them together, but will it also tear them apart?
The origins of the Dark Kings/Dragon Kings and the entire Dark Universe is finally revealed.
Our two main characters are both witches; Emmaline Bluewater is weak, while Bastian Truenote is strong. Nearly a decade ago they were engaged, but Bastian left Emma with no explanation and hasn’t been back. He was cursed, bat can’t tell her. Heartbroken, Emma moves to a new town and starts to put her life back together. Now Bastian is back, and wants them to marry, because of the curse.
I enjoyed this book; even thought I’d like to slap some sense into these two characters. They have chemistry which makes this a fun read. Sophie Morgan has done a wonderful job on the two main characters, and some of the secondary ones have potential-maybe sequels in the future? Hope so for this engaging author and the world she’s created.
