Romance

Denae Lacroix, an American working for MI5, is sent on a mission with only one other agent into Dreagan. She is confused about the secrecy of the whole deal, but follows her assignment. It isn't long before Denae is in a fight for her life and not from a hidden enemy but from her own people. She is about to be awakened to a world she never imagined and fall for the DARKEST FLAME burning. Kellan, had slept for thousands of years. He awakes to watch as a man attacks a woman and since he doesn't care about humans at all he watches as the woman holds her own. He is tempted to let her die, but something makes him save her. He takes her to Con and the other Dragon Kings, planning to drop her off and leave. Something makes him stay and watch over her. Denae has no choice but to tell Con and his people what had happened to her and they promise to help her escape the agency. Before she can escape and find peace the world around her explodes with more than just her betrayal leading her and Kellan into a fight for their lives, the other kings and their mates ... in fact the whole world. DARKEST FLAME is a sizzling, high octane read. Author Donna Grant takes her readers back to Dreagan and her Dragon Kings with as fresh and thrilling a storyline as the previous books. Right from page one I was rooting for Denae and nearly applauded when she won the fight against her fellow agent. I also enjoyed watching as Kellan slowly lost his heart to the sexy, tough woman, who teaches him not all humans are bad. The sizzle was of course between the two of them when he finally gives in to his heart. There is also a bit of a side story that threads through this one concerning Con and a Fae named Rhiannon which adds a bit of drama and suspense. There is so much happening in this book you will be breathless by the end but ready to grab up the next Dragon Kings book as soon as it comes out. DARKEST FLAME is a real winner and a keeper.

SUMMARY

In Darkest Flame by Donna Grant, the Dark Kings have fought for centuries to preserve their dragon magic. But one of the most powerful warriors of his kind will be put to the ultimate test. Is he strong enough to resist his greatest temptations? Or will he be forced to surrender—body and soul? HER BEAUTY IS A WEAPON. Denae Lacroix is a beautiful MI5 agent on a deadly mission. Sent to the Scottish Highlands to spy on the mysterious Dreagan Industries, she discovers too late that she’s been set up—as human bait. She is an irresistible lure for a man who has not seen or touched a woman for centuries. He is a man with a destiny—and a desire—that could destroy them both… HIS PASSION IS A CURSE… It’s been twelve hundred years since Kellan has walked among humans—and there’s no denying the erotically charged attraction he feels for Denae. But as a Dragon King, he is sworn to protect his secrets. Yet the closer he gets to this smart, ravishing woman, the more her life is in danger. All it takes is one reckless kiss to unleash a flood of desire, the fury of dragons…and the fiercest enemy of all.
