This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was action-packed, fun, sweet and kept me reading. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

I loved following the adventures of Melisse & Henry through the pages of this book. There are dragons, magic, fae, druids and realms to explore during a budding romance. The character development and realm building are captivating.

“She’s the most magnificent being alive…And the only one I crave.”

I know I've said this at the start of each review but a special thanks to the author for allowing me to read their book early

Now on to the review

I enjoyed the book, I wouldn't say love or that it had me hooked but that could be because I didn't realise this was the 8th book in a series 😅😂

But none the less I did enjoy the read and how the story was told, it didn't feel rushed but I did find at times that I had to push myself to continue but again that could just be because I didn't realise that this was the 8th book in a series

Overall I liked the story and characters that I grew to really like and I may even go find book 1 to read and start the series from the very start

This is the 8th book in a series that I haven’t read. There’s a handy guide at the beginning saying who all the characters are, or else you can be rebel like me and just skip over that part knowing that I would never remember who’s who. I suspect it would be easier to keep track of characters and make sense of the storyline if the other books had been read, but I enjoyed this by itself. There are two worlds, Earth and Zora, there are dragons and fae and people who are 1/2 dragon, 1/2 fae as well as humans. There was a lot going on, but I enjoyed it enough to add the rest of the series to my TBR. Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was my first Donna Grant book and I can say it definitely won’t be my last. I didn’t know anything about this author or book when I started reading (I didn’t even know it was part of a series), so the beginning of the story was a little confusing given all the characters introduced. It took me a little bit to understand the dynamics but once I was about bit into the book, I was hooked. Donna Grant does a fabulous job at world building and creating a story that has action, adventure, dragons, fae, magic, tension, and romance. There were times where I felt the story could have been sped up a little or I got a little lost and then time where so much was happening that it read so fast, but overall I really enjoyed it. Now I want to go back to the beginning of the Dragon Kings series and read them all!

I was waiting for melisse and Henry's story since their characters were introduced and the wait was totally worth it. The author does know how to satisfy her readers and even giving more than they were expecting. The book totally had me from the very first page and I literally couldn't put it down. 

The book states a mesmerizing adventure filled with magical battles. The twists, the turns, the plot, the intense passion and the thrill within the story had me on constant edge. The romance among all the dangers had me in complete awe.

The chemistry between melisse and henry was totally fire. Henry a normal human who worked as MI5 agent in London learns that he is not normal after all which somehow lead to his transformation to a protect the lady he loves despite the betrayals and is bound by the ancient magic is intriguing. Melisse, the dragon queen known as the queen of violets is definitely one of the strongest fmc i have read about, her strength and determination is captivating and is even feared by her own kind. The moment they met they form an unspoken unbreakable bond but their journey does take turns but they do find their way back to each other. Their story is all about love and magic.

The DRAGON BORN is definitely an outstanding choice among its genre paranormal romance and would definitely recommend if you love to live in a world of magic and dragons and everything that goes along with it.

I have been waiting forever for Henry's story and not only was I delighted but speechless with how the plot unfolded. It truly rocked my world. This book was exciting, multifaceted and profound. The author’s imagination never ceases to amaze me and I am astounded with how she keeps coming up with such unique detailed plots.

For me it was hard to imagine Henry stepping outside his cool levelheaded personality, but he did in a way only Henry could. Author Donna Grant expanded his character while staying true to his previously well-developed one and didn’t turn him into a stranger for this reader. Finally, the reader will get clarification on what really happened between Melisse and Henry.

Melisse shares her whole story in this book and the reader will finally get some clarification on what happened to her mom, Ailis a dark Fae and her dad, Lennox, King of Dragon Kings from Ignite the Magic. Her story will break your heart.
This book contains an exciting new character that I look forward to reading more about. I do hope she falls in love with a Dragon King. Only time will tell.

I enjoyed this book and gave it 5 STARS.

I came across Donna Grant and her Dragon Kings series at a book convention. After hearing the blurb for the first book I was hooked and bought the entire series in the spot! This next book in the Dragon Kings series was just absolutely perfect! Grant's writing is just superb and she knows how to captivate her readers! Dragon Born has become my absolute favorite Dragon book of all time!

This is the eighth book in the series and while I haven’t read the previous books that doesn’t matter. This was easy to keep up with, even without reading the previous books. The characters aren't super compelling and don't draw you in, and after reading it, I don't feel a need to read the other books in the series. I may have done both myself and this book a disservice by not reading the other books, but overall it is a series that I think would be interesting for others.

This book perfectly balances the elements of a true fantasy romance. It's a delightful mix of cozy romance and thrilling adventure, topped with a generous sprinkle of spicy scenes.

I didn’t realize this was part of a series until I started reading it - I was confused at first but just kept pushing on until I realized! I finished it though and it was great. Loved the relationships and the characters and obviously anything with dragons is my favorite. I will have to go read book 1 now and can update my review after!
Will be adding to our library though!

This was my first book from this series so it took me a while to understand everything that was happening. It was a bit of a slow read since I had to piece everything together but it was okay. The characters weren't my favorite in terms of personality

This was the first book I have read from this series. It took me awhile to understand everything, but once I did I enjoyed it. It is basically about different groups coming together to help defeat one bad fae. In the process, you have two individuals who have been fighting their feelings for each other for some time. After something happens, they no longer are willing to deny their feelings. Once that dam is broken, they have no way to ever go back to how things were before nor so they want to.

Dragon Born was an okay read for me. This is not my first book from this author, but I think that when it comes to her books, I either find them amazing or okay reads. The one thing that killed the story for me was the pace of it and I was hoping that it would pick up throughout the story, but it never did. This book gives us Melisse and Henry's story which I think is a second chance romance. Melisse and Henry find themselves in a situation where their lives are at risk. A druid is determined to end Melisse whereas Henry is determined to fight for their lives, but they are not the only ones. This book ends with a cliffhanger, but since it really isn't for me, I won't read the next book in this series. This paranormal story had love, revenge, hate, suspense, steamy scenes and a bit more.

This was great - but defently would have made more sense, if I had known it was a series before requesting it.. so my bad ;)

Loved reading the mesmerizing and spellbinding paranormal romance story. When Melisse is stuck and can't get away from the Druid who has been killing dragons, Henry tries to free Melisse and talk to the Druid. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting love story by the phenomenal author, Donna Grant.

This is the story of Melisse and Henry and how they reunite. It is also Katla's story and her misdirected hatred. Villette is the mastermind behind the vines and their mission. All is twisted together into a fabulous story.

It's been years since I have read a Donna Grant book and after reading this I want to kick myself, because I loved them and I don't know why I punished myself by missing her books. This book is late in a series, but I think that while it would be ready to read the others, it holds up as a stand alone. (I have plans to go buy the backlist of at least this series)

Henry, a former MI5 agent, and Melisse, the Dragon Queen, are our main characters. Henry finds out that he is a descendant of Dragon Kings and goes to investigate this. He meets and becomes involved with Melisse, but a betrayl occurs that initially tears them apart. They overcome this and join together to try and prevent war.

They have great chemistry together and Ms. Grant writes a great love scene. I can't wait to go read the others in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All opinions are my own - reading this is a great way to spend a day!

This book was a really slow read. I found myself skimming instead of reading. The characters were likable. I needed a little more action in this book.

Disclaimer: I would like to note that I received this ARC with the mindset that I would provide an honest review.
I am truly excited to have been given an opportunity to read this ARC. I love Donna Grant’s books and have always enjoyed her writing style.
It is important to note that this book is the 8th in the series. While it is not critical, that you read all of the other books in the series, I would recommend that you do so because the characters and background are all connected.
Like with all of her books, we are instantly transported into a new world and in this world there are dragons. Enough said, am I right?
Henry, our male main character, once served as a MI5 agent that has now found out that he has a connection to this new world filled with dragons, fae, and magic. And within this connection he is introduced to our female main character, Melisse the Dragon Queen.
The chemistry between Henry and Melisse was top notch. I honestly think that is one of the best things about this book. Within Dragon Born, we are taken on a whirlwind of adventure, betrayal, and romance. The writing is done well and the pace is steady. I was never bored while reading, quite the opposite, and I wanted to know more throughout this book. I think the best books are those that make you question and wonder and this book definitely delivered.
I do not want to give too much away but I will say that I definitely recommend that you read this book. Thank you to Donna Grant for another wonderful book!
