This book has everything that I want, love, action and a hot guy. The chemistry between the characters feels very real sandal I can say is that I want the next book right now.

I was given this book to give an honest review.

I was given this book to read. Dragon Kings, dragons, the legend of Vald,. light and dark fae. and magic, this book has everything. The dragon kings sword has been stolen, who did this and why? This book is part of a series and looks like more will be coming (a lot of dragon kings need mates!) This book is great by itself, but you will want to buy all of the series, so why not start at the beginning!

All I’m going to say is this: I am now going to start the first book. I had never read any of Donna Grant’s books but I can’t wait to start! This book has everything I love - dragons, magic, magical realms, and romance.
There were a few things I were a little confused about, but mostly because I haven’t read any of her other books. So honestly, if you wanted to read this as a stand alone you technically could, but I would not recommend it.

I received a free ARC from Netgalley.

I had read a couple in this series years ago so I was a little lost. The extra characters and viewpoints made this a complex story that was only in part about the main characters. I enjoyed their story and would focus on just those parts if I read this again.

Left with lots of questions and side characters hanging.

5 stars - an enduring world of dragon kings and thoroughly entertaining

Two dragon kings on a quest to find Vlad's sword with Roman finding love along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read Vlad's happy ever after story. I am becoming a big fan of the dragon kings.

I have voluntarily posted a review consisting of my honest opinions. I received this product for free from Netgalley.

On the journey to help his friend and fellow dragon king V, Roman finds a gypsy that he is finding really hard to resist. When Sabina was a little girl, her gypsy grandmother told her a story about how their ancestors stole the sword of a dragon king in order to save their people. Little did Sabina know, but that story leads her on an adventure that changes her whole life.
I loved Sabina’s and Roman’s story, but it was really about half the book and not my favorite part. This, as with all of the Dragon King books, tells an overall story of the dragon kings. There is a lot of Rhi and Con in this book. I am DYING waiting for books (or hopefully it’s just 1 book) for these two characters, so I was really happy to read so much of them even though it was driving me nuts. This book also interwove characters from her Reaper series, which I absolutely loved. It also introduced new characters/problems. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I highly recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Donna Grant enthralls with the fourteenth paranormal Dark Kings story in which Dragon King Roman helps his fellow dragon king V search for his sword. Sabina, a Romany, has been living isolated with her brother Camlo who is mentally challenged but has an affinity for animals. Sabina knows a family Romany legend which tells how the tribe put a powerful dragon to sleep and stole his sword. When Roman and Sabina meet in the Carpathian mountains, the legend of the sword starts to unwind and pull dragons and Romany together. Follow their growing relationship and the increasingly entangled destiny of the dragon kings. Just finished with the enmity between the dragon kings and one of their own, Ulrik, they now discover there are other sinister players in the dragon destiny. Sexy and energetic scenarios weave their way through this story. Enjoy.

I don’t know why I keep jumping in and out of this series without reading straight through, but each time I come back to the series, I end up loving these books. Even with my large time jumps and missing information/back story, I still am completely sucked in by these engaging characters and sizzling chemistry.

As each of these books centers around a Dragon King finding his true mate, this one started with V (who I thought was going to be the star), but it ended up with Roman. Roman can hear metals in the ground, so he is the obvious choice for a helper finding the lost sword, right? While V is a little off his rocker due to his constant sleep and inability to find what was stolen from him, Roman is steadfast and just as determined not to see his fellow Dragon King suffer any more. While searching the Carpathian Mountains (yes, V is *that* V as in Vlad), they stumble upon a Romanian girl living alone with her brother. Normal, right? Except that the brother can talk to animals and the girl identifies as a gypsy. Oh, and when V touches the brother, he suddenly gets some of his missing memories back.

Of course, there wouldn’t be a Dragon Kings story without romance, and this one pairs the very independent Sabina with the self-sacrificing Roman. While both initially try to resist the pull, some very dangerous adventures and a true connection between these two end up pushing them into instant commitment. The sizzle is definitely there in more ways than one (get it? Dragons breathe fire…). As always, there are oodles of side stories that I’m sure will materialize fully in books to come, but it was a good way to keep things moving and keep us hooked.

Oh gosh this world! It just gets more intricate and bigger and so many things are happening...

Roman and V set out for Romania to look for V's sword. And they come across Sabina and her brother Camlo, direct descendants of the Rom or the original gypsies. And it explains why they roam. Sabina and Camlo join them in their quest. Because Camlo is special, and Sabina had no real idea how special he was and how instrumental he is. She is too, much more than a mate for Roman.

I really enjoyed this book! I love how compatible Sabina and Roman are, and how special Camlo is. I hope he plays a bigger role in this world.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book! I like it a lot!

Another great book from the series. A book full of mystery, unexpected events and searching for answers. Roman is helping V with finding his sword and their journey is leading them to Sabina and her brother who have a special sight. Sabina's grandmother had warned her about dragons but her gut and her brother action make her decide to help V and Roman. A journey full of unknown, finding of the past, searching for an answer, finding love and passion. Really great interesting read. Both Sabina and Roman likable characters who make reading even more interesting.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

I did not realize this was book 10 in a series. I enjoyed it, but feel like I would have liked it more had I known all the references to previous characters and plot lines.

Dragonfire is book #14 in ‘A Dark Kings Novel’ series by Donna Grant. It took a little getting used to the accent written in the story but once you get the hang of it it brings the story to life and I can’t seem to put it down. I want to know what happens next! I recommend starting with book one of course, this will allow you to get the main characters back stories. However, with skipping a few books into the series you still get the gist of what has been going on and where the story is heading for future books.

I give this book a 4.5 stars. I really enjoyed getting to know Sabine (Romani Gypsy), Camlo (her half brother), and of course Roman (Dragon King).

Dragonfire begins with a girl talking to her grandmother about her mom taking her away from her gypsy family. They have gifts and the family has been hiding a secret. For generations, the story of why they're on the run is passed down. There was a dragon king who had a magnificent battle sword. But one of the gypsies saw that he would use that sword to kill all the people in the village. So six families took waited and stole the sword from him, and split up. Always on the run. That is just the prologue too. 

That was right before Sabina and her family to leave the caravan because townspeople were after them and murdered her father. Her grandmother had the "Sight" and could see the future. It was a gift that was passed down through the family lines. Both Sabina and her brother have the Sight. Now Sabina and her half-brother live alone in the country. The rest of the gypsy family have moved on. Sabina and her brother Camlo also have the Sight. Camlo can communicate with animals and is gifted with wood. But even though he has grown to the size of a man, he has kept the mind of a child. Camlo is an important character in the story, and I just adored him. Sabina was a strong character too. She has to change within the book. Her fears end up being used against her, and there is a little twist/reveal. I like her, I want more of her and Roman. I honestly wished the book didn't end. 

Roman is a whole lotta hunk. The book starts with V and Roman going to Romania where V, aka Vlad, use to rule to search for his sword. Well, that's where Sabina and Camlo are at, so the obviously run into each other. This part made me adore Camlo because of his childlike excitement of knowing who the Dragon Kings are. As it continues we see more Druid and Fae involvement and that they need to search Roman's homeland, Iceland. This is where it gets all Indiana Jones with magic. Maybe not quite Indie, but it's the best example I could think of at the moment.

We get like one scene with Con and Rhi development. It isn't enough. It's just enough to tease. Whenever they get their book it better be 600 pages and amazing. I am glad there isn't too much bouncing around to other side plots in the world. This really focuses on Roman, V, Sabina, Camlo. I think V's sword is such an important part of the world that you need to focus on them and the challenges that they face. 

I loved this book. It was hot and it was serious. Fire & Ice indeed. If you decided to just pick this up off a shelf you wouldn't be too lost. There are minor references to previous books and if you haven't read them it will trip you up for like a couple pages but it's easy to move on. Like I said this focuses on a select few rather than everyone in the world. This series is really vast and I love it. I want to soak in it and just enjoy this massive world that Donna Grant has created.

Donna Grant’s “Dark Kings” series has become one of my all time favourite paranormal romance series. Seriously, who doesn’t love a dragon shifter with a brogue? It just can’t get better than this!! Or maybe it can...

“Dragonfire” is the next instalment in this breathtaking series and we not only get to catch up with our favourite light fae, Rhi, but we also get to meet the woman who will steal Roman’s heart, Sabina. A beautiful gypsy who lives in the mountains of Romania with her mentally challenged brother, she has always tried to steer clear of the sight that was passed down to her by her ancestors. That and the legend of the dragon Vlad and his stolen sword. So when two men who are not only incredibly breathtaking but also seem to possess a certain magic about them wonder into their territory, Sabina is wary. But it seems that her brother knows who they are and trusts them. Of course, it takes a bit more than blind trust to believe in Dragons and Dragon Kings and Sabina soon finds herself and her brother in Iceland.

Roman is on a mission to find V’s sword and bring back the dragons. What he didn’t expect was to stumble upon a mesmerising gypsy who not only manages to steal his heart, but who also has a deep connection to the dragons.

Another winner by Grant! Can’t wait to find out who Rhi’s dragon king is - although I have a guess, I can’t wait to read their whole story. Hope that we will get to find out soon!! Absolutely love this series!

While I did enjoy Roman's story, I was not in love with it as much as I have been with the other stories. There was just something lacking between both Roman and Sabina.

Loved the chemistry between Roman and Sabine. The character interaction is what makes this a well written great story.

Sabina is a Gypsy living with her brother near the Carpathian Mountains. When she was a child, her grandmother told her a story and made her promise to remember it. The story was about a kind Dragon King who’s sword was stolen by her ancestors. Because of that theft, her family was forced to leave their homeland and becoming Romani. She thought it was a legend until she met Roman and Vlad. Roman is helping his friend V find his stolen sword. Traveling to the Carpathian Mountains, they stumble upon Sabina and her brother Camlo. With urging from her brother, Sabina realizes that she needs to help the Kings find V’s sword. Their journey takes them to a mountain in Iceland where V’s sword might be. But there are wrenches thrown into their plans. A mysterious alliance between Druids and Fae threaten their quest. Can Sabina and Roman find the sword? Will they give into their attraction to each other? Or will everything fail?

I was pretty excited to read Dragonfire. I had read and reviewed Heat and enjoyed it. So I figured that I would like this book also. And I did. What I didn’t know was that Donna Grant is writing other series at the same time she is writing the Dark Kings series. I figured it out when Eoghan and Thea from Dark Alpha’s Hunger were mentioned a few times in this book. As was the Light Elf Queen and the new Dark Elf King. Along with Rhi, Con, Ulrik, and Mikkel. Then a lightbulb went off over my head and I went “No, freaking way“. I am in awe that someone can do that. I have issues with keeping one thing straight in my head. So forget many series of books with many plotlines and characters.

I liked Sabina and Roman together. I will admit that at the beginning of the book, I was a little confused at who Sabina was supposed to be with. And yes, I didn’t read the blurb…lol. I thought it was going to be V for some reason. Because the book started off with the story that Sabina’s grandmother told about him. But once Roman and Sabina met, the sexual attraction and chemistry came off the pages. There was one point when they were in the caves, where I was chanting in my head “Kiss the girl. Kiss the girl” (and no, I didn’t sound like Sebastian from The Little Mermaid when I was saying it to myself).

When they finally did have sex, it was amazing. I will never look at hot springs in the same way again. What I liked, even more, was that the author didn’t let the sexual tension down. She kept it up. Which meant that the other sex scenes were amazing.

I also liked Sabina and Roman as people. They both had gone through some tough times. Sabina’s was losing her mother and stepfather and taking care of Camlo. She had to be strong and wary. Because of Camlo’s disability, she always needed to be on the defensive. Seeing her open up and trust Roman and V was powerful. Roman’s tough times were when he became Dragon King. When he told the story about how he became Dragon King and who he had to defeat, my heart broke for him. But, what made me like him, was his gentleness with Camlo.

I do wish that the author got more into Camlo and Sabina’s abilities. Sabina had the Sight. But what did that consist of? What could she see (other than people being dishonest)? I know that it came into play when she touched V in the cave but still, I would have loved a better explanation. Also, I would have loved a better explanation of Camlo’s abilities. I was also frustrated when it came to getting information out of him. I know that he had the mind of a child but man, that whole scene dragged out when Roman and Sabina were deep in the caverns. What other abilities did he have (other than talking to animals and the Sight)?

The plotline involving V and his sword was amazingly written. The author did a great job at keeping me guessing about where the sword was. Also the neat twist she put in that storyline, I liked. I wasn’t expecting it. But it did explain a whole bunch.

I also liked the storyline with Sabina and Roman’s journey to get the sword. Dangerous doesn’t even begin to describe it. And with the Others magic making it even more dangerous, my heart was in my throat during the entire journey. The end of that storyline had me in tears. But I forgot one thing. Only another Dragon King can kill a Dragon King.

The secondary storylines were good but man, they were vague. Take Con losing the weapon. That was a first for me. What was the weapon? It was something that Con and the other Dragon Kings feared. Because the “Oh Crap” factor went up when V and Roman got the message. The storyline with the Others infuriated me. Why were they doing what they did and how did they know what was going on it the future. Also, the book that Usaeil found in the hidden library. What is with that? And the very last chapter. I wanted to scream with frustration about that.

Like I mentioned above, I wanted to scream at the end of Dragonfire. But, I did like how the author ended or didn’t end the storylines. She ended Roman and Sabina’s happily and gave a hint about who her next book might be about. Which I can’t wait to read!!

I gave Dragonfire a 4-star rating. This was a well written 14th book in the Dark Kings series. I connected with the characters. The plotlines were well written with no lag or dropped storylines. I did wish that more explanation was given about Camlo and Sabina’s powers. And the end frustrated me. I enjoyed reading this book and cannot wait to read book 15.

I would give Dragonfire an Adult rating. There is explicit sex. There is language. There is violence. There are no triggers. I would suggest that no one under the age of 21 read this book.

I would reread Dragonfire. I would also recommend this book to family and friends.

I would like to thank St. Martin’s Griffin, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review Dragonfire.

All opinions stated in this review of Dragonfire are mine.

I chose to leave this review after reading an advance reader copy**

I had a hard time with this book it lagged for me and I did not really enjoy it. Net galley states I have to have 100 words but I don't think there are one hundred words for me to come up with to review it

I wasn't sure what to think about this one at first. Roman seemed to be unsure about his path and he definitely gave a vibe that he would put walls between himself and Sabina. I loved Sabina from the very beginning. She put her life and future on hold for her brother and his welfare. The journey they all are on was very confusing at times but I had to keep going to see if they could complete the challenges, even though I knew the end reward would not be what they expected. I loved the relationship that developed between Roman and Sabina and can't wait to see what the future will hold for them.

I totally enjoy each line of her writing. I love the characters, the plots the many different levels, the romance, the passion. The suspense and just everything about them! I will say this is a series that is definitely a keeper and one to enjoy over and over again.
