A paranormal romance that will keep you desperate for more! Donna Grant seamlessly intertwines romance together in a realm that is something you’ll want to read over and over again.

Great book! Always amazing story line and characters. I get lost in their history and the leads always have the best chemistry.

I love Donna Grants Dark Kings series! This wasn’t my favorite, but I still loved Kelton and Bernadette’s story.
Grant’s writing never fails as she drags you down and into her stories that usually have me on the end he of my seat wondering what’s next?? Alpha male? Check! Off the charts chemistry between the two main characters? Check check!
This has all her usual go to for me. I did find it a little longer than it probably needed to be, but I feel like there are always pieces that lead to something else in another book coming in the future.

If you haven’t started any of her series, I’d suggest you start! Dragon romance stories are becoming one of my favorites and it’s because if this author. Very enjoyable read!

The battle continued – for dragons and love…

This is the sixteenth instalment in this series and despite usually needing a scorecard to keep everything, and everyone, straight things came together for me! Finally? Maybe lol. But that didn’t stop the fact that Keltan and Bernadette’s story brought us one step closer to finding the truth. And another dragon falling in love.

Oh, it wasn’t easy. Not at all. Bernadette seemed firmly in the enemy’s camp yet, as usual, not everything was as it seemed. Fae, dragons, druids, warriors. Even a Reaper made a brief appearance. All of it, the lows, the highs, the ‘oh my’ moments, had each revelation bringing with it more clues and leading us to the end I know is coming…

The romance between Bernadette and Keltan was parallel to the bigger story but they were an integral part with voices – and emotions – all their own. The chemistry between them was there even as magic and illusion, and long-held beliefs, battled to keep them apart. And that wasn’t the only skirmish.

No, this was a fast-paced, don’t lose your place or you’ll miss something, kind of read, making it one of my top favourites of the series. So much became clearer and yet so much still hidden.

Fantastic read in a highly entertaining series.

I marked this book as a 4 star on GoodReads after reading it 3 years ago but didn't write a formal review. I thought I would leave the rating here and move it off my shelf.

Bernadette and Kelton bring the Dark King's world alive in this tale of romance .
Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.

I'm a bit after-the-fact in writing this review, so I'm keeping it a little more general! This was my first novel in the Dark Kings universe, and I felt I had a bit of learning curve to learn/keep up with all of the characters.

Overall, I enjoyed Kelton and Bernadette's story. It's steamy, it's magical, and it's complex. It leaves the door open for the future stories while largely resolving things for Kelton and Bernadette (at least their love story), which I appreciate.

I was a bit underwhelmed by some of the big bad and some of the Kings' decisions, but I think it's due at least partly to my jumping in at this point.

Be prepared for tons of characters and quite the Scottish brogue!

This story felt like it should have been a novella rather than a full novel in the overall series. Even fresh from reading this story for a second time I'm hard-pressed to think of why it ended up being so long even though there were quite a few things going on. We think we're getting to the point when answers will start trickling in, but there are a couple more mysteries brought in that have a few more moves to make before we can get the answers we've been longing for. That's kind of the prevailing theme of this particular book, to have questions but no complete answers.

There was a big fight scene, but it was anticlimactic. That was understandable though as there are a few books yet to go in the series until we get to see everything really go down. Up to this point the romance was quite a roller coaster. At some moments there was tenderness, understanding, exploration, and something soft and wonderful, and at others there were a whole lot of hurt and denials. Keltan's vehement, adamant denials of Bernadette being his mate got very, very trying. There are only so many times it needed to be said and yet it happens again and again and again in the same way that it became less effective each time and a whole lot more annoying. I understood it, kind of, but I just didn't like it.

Bernadette on the other hand, grew into someone I truly respected. She started off as smug and self-righteous, but soon after learned that not all was as it seemed. When she learned just how far someone has gone to put her in the position Keltan found her in she opened her eyes and her head to all of the truth. And finally, FINALLY, someone who actually follows their intuition and asks solid questions that most readers have been shouting throughout the course of the series. She also brought up excellent points and expressed them with an inner strength that gave her the determination to follow her gut. I'm very much looking forward to where that goes.

Getting closer to the end of the series is a little bittersweet, but I've become so invested that I find myself glad there are a few more stories between me and the ultimate confrontation. So while this wasn't my favorite book as a whole in the series, there were parts that set it apart. For me it was Bernadette's insight, curiosity, and forthright honesty that made the book worth reading. Bring on the next!

It seems that Donna Grant has no signs of stopping! With the Dark Kings series, she has created elaborate worlds and interesting characters. But because this series is so long now and has been created initially as a spin-off, I do think that it has started to feel a little repetitive.

However, since I am a fan of this world and writing style, I feel like I can still get on board with some of it. I just worry that because the same style is used so often that readers may feel like its getting repetitive. Perhaps its just me but I can definitely pick up on the same tropes, etc that are used by the author.

Nevertheless, I do enjoy the world. The characters tend to have a softer focus about them, which is why I think her heroes tend to stand out for me. In a genre that is rife with alpha males, Grant creates heroes that are alpha in their own personal way.

Donna you truly are the Mother of Dragons!

The next in the Dragon Kings series is here!! No spoilers I promise, but this book will stroke the fires of the Kings books and give you all sort of new ideas to lead you around!

Keltan and Bernadette are two of my most favorites in this series, the connection, the chemistry, the emotions are so real and meaningful. Bernadette is being used as a pawn unknowingly, and Keltan is the one to set her straight and to set her free.

Read this, if you love Donna, if you love the Dragon Kings, if you want a great story. Just do it!

Solid 3.5*. Fever by Donna Grant is book #16 in the Dragon King Series packed full of action, suspense and romance. I wish I had read the other books before starting this one as it took me quite a while to get caught up with all the names and characters and to get an overall gist of everything that was going on in the beginning- this made it kind of hard to get into the book at first. Once I got the hang of who everyone was then I started to really get into the book.
I'm 100% sure that if I had read the previous books, I would have been more invested in the characters and the outcomes bringing the book up to 4*. Unfortunately, because I had no idea what was going on for the first quarter of the book the experience for me was a bit different. I did really enjoy Keltan's character and his stubbornness. It was so frustrating and captivating at the same time. Bernadette was cute and you definitely cheer for her throughout the novel. Con was the one I was the most intrigued about even though he wasn't a main focus of the book. I'm really curious to see where his story heads.
Overall, I enjoyed Donna Grant's writing style- the only thing I didn't buy into was how quickly the and short lived the romance bits were... went from 0-60 in less than a second, which I understand sometimes needs to be done for the sake of keeping the book short.
Other than that, I recommend this book to those who have previously read some of the other Dragon King novels, or if you are looking for a quick romantic read with intriguing action.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have read one other book by Donna Grant, that was in her reaper series, so I went into this one thinking that I had some idea of what to expect. I was right to a certain degree. I really enjoyed learning about some of the characters mentioned in the previous book that I read and seeing some of the things that had occured from a different point of view. Grant does a great job at composing a story that brings you in and creating characters that you care about.

That being said, there were points in this book where I felt like I was playing catch up. That is not fault of Grant's, but mine because I have not read any of the books in the series. They would mention characters and relationships in passing and I kept thinking wait, what? I do plan on reading more books by Grant in the future, I will just probably catch up on the series first.

It's been a long time coming... The epic battle between the kings and Usaeil is finally here. So much happens in this book, but it's still not enough. When anthropologist Bernadette Davies starts lecturing about dragons being real, she immediately falls on to the dragon kings' radar. As the dragon king Keltan listens to her talk, he knows they are in trouble. Someone has been telling tales about dragons and picked the pretty mortal to spread the word about them. Determined to protect his home and brethren, Keltan gets close to the petite doctor. Bernadette soon realizes she's is in over her head, but it is too late to back down, for Usaeil will kill her if she doesn't comply. When the attraction between the king of the Citrines and Bernadette roars to life, there is little they can do to stop their passion from igniting. Meanwhile, Keltan continues to deny that she might be his mate. Since he never wanted one and saw mates as a weakness, it is unlikely he'll give in to his emotions. Then there is Con and the fact that Usaeil has him under her spell... Ulrick takes over as the kings' leader in Con's absence. To guarantee their victory in the battlefield, the dragon kings, the king of the dark fae and his army, and the light warrior fae Rhi all come together against their common enemy. The battle will be epic but costs will be high. Many answers are given in Fever, and the path that the dragon kings, the North siblings, and Rhi will take is drawn. Or so it seems... because there are new players in the battle between good and evil, and while love might conquer all, there is the chance that heartbreak will be stronger and Rhi will never again be with her king.

Fever by Donna Grant is Book 16 of the Dark Kings Series. It important to note that this is the 16th book of this series which also happens to be a spin-off from the Dark Warriors Series and Dark Sword Series; these should really be read in specific order so you aren’t confused by what’s taking place.

Once again, Ms. Grant has delivered another exceptional addition to the series while bringing forth new and interesting characters, and keeping the storyline fresh and intriguing...I was gripped throughout the story and couldn’t put it down til I had finished reading it. One step closer and yet still so much going on for this series...absolutely love it!

An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

The opening chapter to this book is enthralling starting with the first sentence out of Bernadette's mouth and ending with Kelton's shock as he sat listening.

Once again in the fluid writing style of the author Donna Grant the reader is immediately drawn into the plot of the storyline and held stuck to the pages till the very end. This story has another twist to the drama known as the villian Mikkel. He really is a devious bad guy and one that always adds drama and intrigue to any story he is involved in.

Kelton dislikes this assignment and really wants to be doing something else but he finds he can't help his attraction to Bernadette. Fortunately for him he gets his chance to talk to her and try to change her mind about her research. His thoughtfulness on the problem and how to approach it does make him the perfect Dragon King for this job.

Bernadette doesn't give up or in easy but she is always willing to listen to another's opinion. Her academia existence is threatened because of her crusade about dragons existing so I was interested to see how the author would made everything workout realistically in this story so Bernadette and Keltan could have a romance. Quite honestly I was impressed with the intricacy and detail that was used to maneuver this storyline that made it realistic and nail biting at the same time.

Donna Grant never fails to deliver. She is one of the few authors I have read that can create and sustain such an imiganitve and really complex world. Fever is my favorite so far in the series. Then again I say that with each book in the series

Donna Grant continues to write a great Dragon series! Although, fare warning, this series is hard to read as stand-alones and is best done in order. The Dragon Kings is a unique take on dragon shifters and I love the fact that the world started as theirs and slowly other species were brought to Earth from other dimensions.

Since I'd only read two of the previous books in the series, I had a hard time keeping all of the characters straight, but I assume that this would be much easier done if you do read them in order. I found myself still frustrated with Con from what I remembered from previous stories and although I like that the confrontation with Usael finally happened, I was frustrated by Con and his part in it turning out the way that it did. But I can tell we're setting up for future stories as well.

Bernadette and Keltan's story was passionate and decent to read but I didn't find myself as engrossed in their story as I was the overall confrontation and progression in the overall plotlines for the series.

I love pretty much everything that Donna Grant writes, but I'm always a little nervous about picking up a book in the middle of the series. Don't let that deter you. Even if you haven't read all the books, it does a great job explaining the world and the history. So much chemistry in this book from the slow burn to explosive action, and if you love well-written angst, this book is totally for you. It's not shoved in as a plot device but feels as natural to the characters (which I adore). A great romance with plenty for the magic lover as well!

The Dragon Kings have kept their identity secret for centuries so how is it possible that a beautiful anthropologist, Bernadette Davies, is able to lecture about the existence of the dragons? Kelton is sent to hear her speak and soon becomes involved with keeping her safe from Usaeil. A long awaited battle occurs and the Dragon Kings are joined by Rhi and Balladyn in their fight against Usaeil. There are unexpected consequences and not all situations are resolved in this story. The author keeps my interest in reading the next story alive.
