A Dark King Story
For centuries, the immortals known as the Dragon Kings have hidden their shapeshifting powers from the world. But when a mortal enemy threatens to expose them, the warrior Banan must leave his secret lair in the Highlands, risk his life for the dragons within--and resist the temptations of human love...

Jane Holden has never considered herself beautiful. But when the impossibly handsome Banan casts his gaze upon her, smoldering with sensuality, she feels like the sexiest woman on earth. Banan, however, is a man on a mission. He refuses to succumb to this modern woman's charms--or his own desires. Two of his warrior brethren have already surrendered to forbidden love. But as the danger closes in, Banan realizes that he needs to possess Jane--mind, body, and soul. For she is more than his match. She is his destiny...
 
Don't miss the Dark Sword and Dark Warrior novels by Donna Grant--also set in this scintillating world of Highland magic and legendary lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, I really enjoyed September 25, 2012

As a secretary for PureGems, Jane Holden is just simply living her life. She dislikes her boss, Richard Arnold. But who doesn't hate their bosses anyway, right? It is only when she overhears her boss talking on the phone with someone about something suspicious that causes goose bumps rise on her arms. Has she overheard something to do with Sloan's death and Elena's accident while caving?

Before I continue, I should say that If you haven't read the previous books in this series, I highly suggest you do. I especially suggest you read NIGHT'S AWAKENING at least because the events in that last book very much connects to the events in this book. Someone is following Jane and Banan is there to protect her, yet readers are still left in the dark and Grant teases us with bits of information. It is only later on in this novella that readers really see Grant's intentions when all is revealed.

Grant packs this book is a ton of action. Out of all the novellas in this series, I felt that this one had the most action. Rife with suspense, Grant will take readers on a thrill ride with this book! I would have liked to see more of the dragon mythology played out, but of course the epic scene of them flying was amazing to read. Grant always does an amazing job at worldbuilding. So vivid and unique, her worlds are always interesting to visit.

I felt that the romance bloomed a little too quickly in this one. This novella seemed much more shorter than the others, rounding out to 99 pages yet Grant is still able to keep readers interested. It's possible that I wanted to read more about Jane and Banan together, which is why I felt that this book seemed to fly by. Everything happened too quickly that I simply want more.

I will mention that Banan is my favorite hero of the Dark Kings so far. He seemed the most relatable, the most down-to-earth and I loved his sense of possessiveness when it came to Jane.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am excited to hear that Grant is writing full-length novels set in this world. It will be a series to look forward to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great September 26, 2012

I am going to start by saying that I love anything that Donna Grant writes! This is no exception. Dawn's Desire picks up where Night's Awakening left off. The Kings are trying to find out who knows there secret and silence them. Here is where Banan steps in. He is pretending to work at PureGems to get closer to Jane Holden to find out if she knows anything. I don't want to give away too much, but the story has a climatic scene that you can't miss. Another hit for Donna and I can't wait for more!!!

I really enjoyed reading this series. This is the first series I have read by this author. I will be reading more of her books. Dragons were a nice change. I hope there are more books going to be written in this series. I would love for Con and Rhys to get their women. These are a must read!
