Dragon Eternal (Dragon Kings Book 4) by Donna Grant

In the next installment of her captivating new Dragon Kings series, New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant connects an enigmatic and determined Dragon King and a courtesan sent to tempt him to his doom.

He’s a man of few words, but she fills his soul with poetry.

Quiet. Brooding. Capable. Shaw’s mission is simple: Root out Stonemore’s leader and determine what the Divine has in store for the people of Zora and the Kings. Just as he gets started, however, a breathtakingly beautiful woman finds and tempts him like no other. Nothing can stop him from engaging in the pleasures she offers. After all, pillow talk is sometimes the best way to uncover secrets.

Nia’s life has never been hers. From starving on the streets to becoming a slave to the Divine, she merely does what’s needed to survive. But when her latest assignment brings her face-to-face with a handsome man who makes her feel things she’s never experienced before, she begins to see that while she’s been living, she’s not really thriving.

As truths are revealed, and Nia’s blinders are removed, she realizes that she can no longer sit by and allow things to continue as they have been in her city. It’s time to take a stand. With Shaw by her side, they spark a war so many have tried to avoid. But the injustices being perpetrated must be stopped—no matter the cost.

Dragon Eternal (Dragon Kings Book 4) by Donna Grant

4 Stars

On Zora

I have to say that I miss the Dragon Kings having stories located on Earth.  The challenges that were presented here were mostly believable; at least if you believed in dragons.  On Zora, and Earth clone, I know that they could be real, but more than likely not.  So, my review is for the story between Shaw, a Dragon King, and Nia who is a courtesan for the ruler “the Divine”.  They meet in the city that belongs to “the Divine” because Shaw and Merrill, another King, have been sent to gather information on this person, and the inhabitants of the city.  Shaw becomes enamored of the beautiful Nia, and because of Shaw, she starts to question her own actions in acting on behalf of “the Divine”.  The story takes a while to move to the exciting ending, with bits of what is happening with Merrill, and with the Dragon part of Zora.  Donna Grant gives us just a glimpse of what is going on with Con and his fellow Dragon Kings, Rhi, and the dragons who have made Zora their home.  Wish that more had been written on this part- for as important a character as Constantine is, it seems that his intelligence and abilities as King of Dragon Kings isn’t useful on Zora.  The interplay between the Dragon Kings is what kept me involved and interested in prior books. 

  This book is well written, and the two main characters are fairly well developed.  The story that takes place in the city is interesting, if a bit long.  The ending is definitely a 5-star ending.  But the overall book only deserves 4 stars- scenes of personal interaction are great but don’t make the slower parts deserving of more stars.  Donna Grant is a wonderful writer, who writes interesting books.  She continues to give readers reasons to enjoy her books.  This book is interesting, but the first half or so seemed to take forever to read.  A new reader should read the prior books in this part of the series- Dragon Kings- so that they understand the world it’s written in.

  I did receive an ARC of the book from the author through NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion.

Eversong (The Kindred Book 1) by Donna Grant

5 Stars

Enjoyed it more the second time

I originally read this in May 2019, and only rated it 4 stars.  This is an updated re-release by Donna Grant, and I’ve enjoyed it more this time around.  I cannot pick out where changes were made, which is a good thing.  The story centers on Leoma and Braith, who meet while trying to find a witch.  Most witches are evil, but not all, and Leoma can pick out a witch easily.  The story flows, and for our 2 hunters they have a book about them.  But the larger story continues with Everwylde, book 2 in the series.  Characters are well-developed and the plot is interesting.  I have a copy of book 1 but received a new copy from the author.  This is my honest opinion. 

That Cowboy of Mine by Donna Grant

BLURB and LINKS

Another stunning cowboy novel from New York Times bestseller Donna Grant, That Cowboy of Mine!

Is he an enemy?

Dillon Young is proud that she inherited her aunt’s ranch. The problem: someone is trying to run her off and is willing to do whatever it takes. Strange, dangerous things keep happening. Dillion suspects her no-good neighbor and fellow wealthy rancher Hank Stephens. Never a man to get his hands dirty, he sends others to get the job done. So, when the irresistible Cal Bennett is found passed out drunk on her property, Dillion is on high alert. Until someone takes a shot at her and Cal springs to her rescue. When the hard-bodied, no-nonsense-talking cowboy points out that she may need some help, Dillion is inclined to reluctantly agree.

Or a lover?

Waking up on a stranger’s property with a shotgun in his face is not Cal Bennett’s idea of a good time. Never mind that the person on the other end of the barrel is one of the most fiercely beautiful women he has ever seen. Things get more interesting when he finds himself shielding her from flying bullets. It’s clear that this smart, savvy woman could use a hand and Cal is all too happy to lend any part of his body she requires. His proposal: pose as lovers until they find out who is after her ranch. As the danger rises and secrets are revealed, the passion explodes between them and there is no turning back.

That Cowboy of Mine by Donna Grant

5 Stars

A great story!

This is a stand-alone contemporary romance.  Main characters Cal Bennet and Dillon Young are both well developed, showing us natural human traits and failings.  Set in ranching country, we first meet Cal, who awakens after having passed out while drinking, but he’s in the middle of nowhere.  He’s found by Dillon, who is searching her property for a missing show horse.  This starts the mystery, which is a very large part of the story.  Cal and Dillion are strangers to each other, and this gives the plot lots of conflict.  There is romance also but is mostly secondary to the multiple questions that arise from the search for the missing horse.  Donna Grant has written 2 other series set in Texas with cowboys as the main characters, but this book is set in a new location.  That Cowboy of Mine is marked as a Christmas book, but it starts in the fall and continues on through the New Year.  I enjoyed this book very much, and don’t hesitate to recommend it for anyone who enjoys Contemporary Romance and Western Themes.  I was given this book through NetGalley and also the author and this is my honest opinion.

Dark Alpha’s Passion (Reaper # 14) by Donna Grant

4 Stars

The ending is great

My rating is 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.  I’ve been a fan of this series since I started reading Donna Grant’s works.  The earliest Reaper’s books are the best, so that would make this one not the best.  It’s good, but I found that the first half was not of the caliber of prior books.  We’re introduced to the hero and heroine, but unlike prior books, the backstory for them was just so-so.  We are told what happened in the past and why they aren’t together.  But then they see each other, and they just fall back into their old ways.  There is no true depth to the story   Then, with the second half of the book, the action starts.  We learn more about the Others, who are now working independently from the original Others.  All of the second half is more detailed, with twists and turns that made up for the lackluster start.  This book could be read as a stand-alone, but the story would make more sense if you started with book one.  This series is nearly completed, and I hope Donna Grant gives the main characters more depth and brings back some of the key characters from her Dark Kings series.  I was given an ARC by the author through NetGalley, and this is my honest opinion.

My Fiery Valentine by Donna Grant

5 Stars

Dragons can be romantic

This short novella is re-visiting Vlad (V) and Clare, who’ve had multiple problems in their short time together.  Set at Dreagan, with cameo appearances of some of the other Kings and their mates, we see both Clare and V embracing the ideas of Valentine’s Day.  Each has decided to surprise the other with romance.  An enjoyable, well-written story, we get a glimpse of what life is like for those who call Dreagan home.  Donna has written this story to include only those who are residing there, and how they spend their time.  A reader will find only good thoughts and happy times in this novella, which is fine after all the extended family has gone and will go through. Having read all the prior books will make this book easier to understand.  I received this ARC of My Fiery Valentine from the author through BookFunnel, and this is my honest opinion.

Dragon Unbound: A Dragon Kings Novella

Another look at things in Zora

This book continues on in Zora, with Cullen as the Dragon King from Earth visiting the realm.  As has been the case with the last couple of books dealing with the Kings, one of them visits Zora, and there is some kind of problem that needs their help to solve.  Tamlyn has magic and has a secret.  This book is well written and progresses the underlying story.  I waited to write my review because I enjoy Donna Grant’s stories very much, but this new series has become very predictable.  I miss the action of the earlier Dark World books and would really like to have one of the new stories at least include the situations that she left open at Dreagan. Characters that are important to the series, who were in nearly all the prior books have been delegated to minor supporting roles-including the King of Dragon Kings. If you haven’t read any of the previous novels, I’d suggest starting at the beginning with the Warriors books.  But you could read this book without having read the others first.  I was given an ARC by the author, and this is my honest opinion.
