Darkest Flame: Part 1 by Donna Grant

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.

While I am a total paranormal junkie when it comes to my stories, there are not a lot of dragon shifter authors that I enjoy. I can whole heartily say though Donna Grant is by far my favorite when it comes to this genre.

Ms. Grant has been able to create an entire world of dragons that is done so extremely well; it has an insane life-like feeling towards it. With how many different characters there are in the story, I was a bit worried about how crazy it would be trying to keep everyone straight. But thankfully Ms. Grant was able to bring everyone in, and still keep the story going to where I wasn’t confused about what was going on.

In this part of the series, we are introduced to Denae and Kellan and watch as yet again another outsider is brought into the Dreagan Industries. I really enjoyed Kellan’s character the most in this book because it was nice to have a character in this series who actually doesn’t like humans! As strange as that sounds, the other characters all seemed to be ok with humans and it was getting a bit boring to be honest.

There is an INSANE cliffhanger at the end of this story, but I’m so glad that the next part is already out so that I can go ahead and get started on it right away!
