Ignite by Donna Grant




 ABOUT THE BOOK 



Every inch of him was molded as if from granite…and her blood ran like fire...

For centuries, V has waited to awaken from his doomed sleep and reclaim his destiny. But this Dragon King—one among a legion of legendary warriors sworn to protect the human race from darkness—must first find a way to win back his sword. Wield its power. And try not to fall prey to his own illicit desires.

Claire may possess the beauty and soul of a goddess but V knows better than to mess with a mere mortal. Still, he instinctively knows that Claire is The One who can help him regain the use of his sword and restore his place at Dreagan. But if she learns the truth about who—and what—he really is, her memories of him would be erased forever. How can V love Claire truly, madly, deeply…and protect her from the forces of fire and darkness that could destroy them both?

Praise for the Dark Kings series:

 REVIEW 

It is hard to discuss Ignite without giving away details. Spoilers at this point are bad. I would highly advise catching up on the past books before reading any current novels. A war is coming, or should I say the war is here. It seems all that is left is hurling that first shot, which may have just taken place. Intricate groundwork is present in the Dragon King novels, and deep-rooted subplots are what appeals most to me in urban fantasy/ paranormal romance. 

The concept of supernatural beings living among humans fascinates me. These heroes are powerful, charismatic, intelligent, virtuous, and captivating. In their world the fae, shifters, magic users, and some I have yet to identify, all band together to fight for humanity. The romantic couple in Ignite fit in this world as one would expect. V and Claire have a quirkiness that makes them stand out. The two are charming and perfect for one another. Donna Grant shines in the urban fantasy/paranormal romance genre. She quickly became one of my favorites, and I am eager to return to her world as soon as her writing allows me to.
