This book is centered on Mason, a member of the London Druids, and Rowan, a Druid from Washington state in America. They meet in London while attending a large gathering of the London druids. From this beginning Donna Grant has written a fast paced, exciting, and very involved story that moves the reader through an intricate web of characters. As part of an ongoing series, this book should be read in order for the best experience, and what an experience Kiss of Skye is. Well written with fully developed main characters and a supporting cast whose stories have already been told, it moves along quickly and for fans gives the reader an edge of the seat experience. I cannot wait for the next book to read what else is going to happen to the Druids who live on the island of Skye.
I received an ARC of this book from the author through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
He’s a secret wrapped in sin—power in every step, temptation in every breath.
He moves through danger like it belongs to him. I should be afraid.
Instead, I ache.
Everything around us is a threat, but the moment he touches me, the fear disappears.
His mouth is a promise. His body a weapon.
And I don’t know which one will break me first.
I tell myself this is survival—that the heat between us is just adrenaline, a temporary madness.
But when he looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters, the truth cuts deep. This isn’t madness.
It’s obsession.
Need.
And it’s already too late to stop.
He’s my temptation.
The mistake I’ll make again and again.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a sensual, high-stakes story of magic, danger, and the kind of love that dares the dark to strike in the Skye Druids series.
He’s the fire I crave—and the danger I can’t escape.
I entered a hidden city of power and secrets, only to find myself consumed by him. Body and soul.
Strong, unyielding, and impossible to resist, he commands everything around him—including me. Every movement, every word, every heated glance pulls me deeper into his orbit.
His touch scorches, his gaze dragging me closer to the edge where passion and danger collide.
Darkness lurks around every corner, but desire is the deadliest temptation. I never meant to surrender my heart.
But some flames are impossible to fight.
And in this world of shadows and lies, I must face what’s burning between us before it destroys us both.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant weaves a sensual tale of forbidden love, fiery passion, and the impossible choices that come with it in the electrifying fourth installment of her Elven Kingdoms series.
Our two main characters-Inej, a human and Manu, a Mountain Elf- are both complex characters. I never really connected with Inej, but found in Manu a wonderful character to read about. Inej has traveled to the mountains to try and find a co-worker who has been abducted. She’s been told that Manu is the one behind the abduction. Manu is the de-facto head of his tribe of Mountain Elves the Navara. Unknown to Inej, Manu is working against the evil that is spreading through the planet Zora. This is the start of the book Mountain Fire. Somewhat slow to me through the middle of the book, it picks up as we get closer to the end.
Well written, with a good plot that ties into the prior Elven Kingdom books and has some characters from the Dragon Kings series, this is an overall enjoyable read with a mostly satisfying ending.
I was given an ARC of Mountain Fire by the author Donna Grant through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
In this book we have our two main characters-Kurt Barclay, son of two London Druids, and a turncoat hacker know to the Skye Druids as Sabretooth, aka Saber. He is guilt ridden due to a betrayal of Sabryn one of the group of Skye Druids trying to stop a seemingly unstoppable evil that is on Skye and targeting the Druid population. From this start. Donna Grant has written one of the most exciting books I’ve read in this series. She writes mostly about our two main characters but also expands to others who have been featured or will be featured in up -coming books. I could not stop reading this! I thoroughly enjoyed After Midnight and wish that Donna Grant had already written the next book. The author has an extensive catalog of books, in her ever-expanding Dark Universe. If you enjoy well written, contemporary, romantic paranormal fantasies Donna Grant should be your go to author.
This book has no obvious grammatical issues, a strong plot, great characters, and solid characterizations. Read as a standalone, but you will get more enjoyment if you start at the first book of the Skye Druids series.

She was always my weakness. Now she’s my only hope.
She was my salvation once—wild magic in her blood, fire in her kiss, and a body I still dream about. I touched heaven with her.
Then dragged us both to hell.
Now she looks at me like I’m the enemy. But I see the way she trembles when I get too close. Feel her power pulse when I say her name.
She hasn’t forgotten.
And I’ll make damn sure she remembers.
An ancient evil is rising beneath Skye—older than our magic, and twice as ruthless.
Only she and I can stop it. We’re bound by fate, fueled by everything we never stopped wanting.
She doesn’t trust me. Doesn’t want to want me.
Too bad. Because I’ll fight for her. Claim her.
Ruin her all over again—if that’s what it takes to keep her safe.
This isn’t just about saving the world. It’s about us.
What I destroyed.
What I’ll never let go again.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant returns to the Skye Druids, where destiny awakens, secrets unravel, and a love long denied refuses to fade.
This is a part of a very large Dark Universe that Donna Grant has created. With this, the 10th book in the Dragon Kings series set mostly on Zora (an Earth like planet) we meet Hector, Dragon King of the Sea Greens. He is helping clean up a partially destroyed underground city, and inadeptly touches an artifact which sends him to another place he’s never seen before. A woman comes in, sees him, and tell him to follow her. She is Emillia who has magic that allows her to see limited visions of the future. She leads Hector to a door, and when he opens it, he is back to unfamiliar land but feels familiar. This is the beginning of an interesting and entertaining book that gives the reader a little more information about how the planet Zora works. Very well written, with interesting characters, I enjoyed it very much. Donna Grant has developed an intricate universe for all the different kinds of beings who populate her worlds. If you are a new reader, to get the full experience of the intertwined books, start with the Warriors. Follow Donna’s recommended reading order and you’ll be devouring these wonderful, exciting, imaginative, and heroic characters. I don’t know how Ms. Grant continues to write these excellent books, but I hope she continues for a long, long time.

He is fire and fury. I am forbidden to want him. But some fates refuse to be denied.
I have seen the war that will tear our realm apart. As a seer, it is my duty to stop it, and the path to peace is clear—until him.
The Dragon King is dominance and destruction, a force of nature my gift didn’t foretell… and one I cannot escape.
He is dangerous—untamed, possessive. And the one man I cannot afford to want.
Yet every glance, every searing touch, threatens to unravel the future I’m fighting to protect.
Loving him could mean my ruin.
Wanting him could mean the end of everything.
But when betrayals rise and destiny shifts, one truth becomes clear: I saw the war. I never saw him.
And now, I don’t know if I can stop what’s coming… or if I even want to.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a riveting tale of desire, danger, and passion in the next installment of the Dragon King series.
As several other readers have said, I also had a difficult time with the first quarter to third of this book. Neither of the two main characters, Farah, a Wood Elf, or Rohan, a human, impressed me. Neither one was likeable. In the background there are other characters who were more interesting having been in the prior Elven Kingdom books. But I continued to read, and little by little Farah and Rohan developed into characters who had more depth. The story was more action/adventure than romance which caught my attention and got me interested in what was happening. The romance was more behind what was happening around with Farah and Rohan. It does come into full focus at the end of the book which is different than how Donna Grant’s other books go. Different, not bad. I did enjoy Storm Wood, and how the author features a different Elf race in each, keeping a hold on the larger plot line that ties all the Elven Kingdom books together. I am ready to read the next installment in the series.
I was given an ARC of the book by the author through BooikFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
I never wanted to fall in love. My sister’s disappearance damaged me for such things. I’ve devoted my life finding her—no matter where that leads me.
I could never have imagined it would bring me to him. A human with haunting celadon eyes and a determination that rivals my own. He’s strong, brash, and gorgeous.
Maybe that’s why I was caught off guard when he acknowledged that I was a covert agent. It’s a secret few know, and if word gets out, I’m as good as dead.
Too much rides on my identity remaining hidden. I have no choice but to help him navigate the perilous depths of the Below—and all who reside there.
But the lines that were once so vivid between us slowly begin to blur. We have only each other to survive and trusting him with my life is one thing. With my heart…that’s something I can’t even consider.
Yet, I can’t stop wondering what his lips would feel like against mine. I can’t help the ache I feel to be near him. And I can lie to him, but not myself. I crave his hard body next to me.
I never wanted to fall in love…but he stole my heart before I had a chance to safeguard it.
Now fate is pulling us apart, but I intend to fight for him. For us.
Even if it means my death.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant weaves a captivating story of daring choices, unlikely alliances, and the enduring strength of hope in the thrilling third installment of her acclaimed Elven Kingdoms series.
