Fever is book sixteen of the Dark Dragon series by Donna Grant. As always the romance is hot with a happy conclusion. It also has a major shift in the over theme of the dragons’[ survival which does not always happen in the books. For fans of the series this is a must read. For those new to the series there may be characters who past you need to understand to fully enjoy this book.

Kelton is sent to find out more about the anthropologist, Bernadette Davies. She turns out to be extremely different from his expectations. They relationship is far from normal but not impossible. Ms. Grant gives the reader smart women to go with these strong, loyal dragons which I for one appreciate.

Besides their meeting relationship building and love affair there is a battle brewing. In fact, it has been for several books. By the time of the story’s conclusion a foe and friend are dead, another heart is broken and a new enemy is on the rise as well as perhaps another dragon ally. Serious business for the dragons within a compelling read.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

*I received this book free from St. Martin's Press via NetGalley.*

Kelton is in pure denial. He likes Bernadette, but the words relationship and love are so far out of his realm of denial that he can't even grasp them. Not even with everyone telling him so. It's comical at times.

Bernadette, on the other hand, doesn't know who she can trust. She's been lied to, manipulated, and now she's entering dragon territory that not too many humans have ever witnessed. The one thing she does know is that she's drawn to Kelton and she hopes it's natural and mutual; not one of Usaeil's manipulations.

Fever is a compelling book filled with lies, lust, love, and war. I couldn't put it down once I started it.

"You're...all right with us taking your memories?"
"No," she said with a laugh. "But I understand why it needs to be done. This place is very special. All of your are. It should be hidden for as long as possible."

Now I realize this is book 16 of the Dark Kings series, but I've only read this one and the one before it. I do want to go back and start from the beginning, but it's not something I feel like is needed to grasp what's happening in the series. There's always just enough past information added to make it feel like you're not missing anything.

If your interested in an action packed sexy dragon shifter read then this is a good series to sink your teeth into.

Only the second story I have read in this series and I am beyond hooked.
(note to self - get the others)
Fantastic battle ahead, so much hurt, anguish, betrayal yet love, prosperity bloom also.
Bernadette... now there is a mystery building with this one. And I can't wait to find out what it is.
Kelton didn't want love or a mate? He will have a fight ahead of him for sure...
Rhi oh my heart aches for her.
So much action in this one I enjoyed every single word.
Can't wait to see what happens to whom next.

Donna Grant has more than earned the title, Mother Of Dragons.
In this 16th installment of her amazing Dark Kings series, Donna Grant somehow keeps things fresh and new. Not once did I feel as if I were re-reading.
No one does dragon shifters better.
Kelton and Bernadette are the perfect match for each other.
Fever is full of twists and turns, answered questions, angst and sorrow and at the end, this amazing author just leaves you wanting more!
Each book in this series is a stand alone so if you haven't started just grab one and get lost inside a world of the very best kind of make believe.
Thank you Donna for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Not reading much paranormal lately this author with this one got me to dive into one. Having read also some from this series I do enjoy these. In this one we are given a closer look at Kelton whom will melt us and Bernadette. Once they meet face to face we are given the inner struggles and the feel the burn. You also get a bonus in this because of two others in here. Oh the battle within at times for Bernadette. Danger and drama will also enter into this one with a biggie to boot. We will be turning those pages as we are consumed until you are left limp.

The newest installment in the Dark King’s series was truly an emotional roller coaster ride. From the highs of a blossoming relationship to the lows of a loss. You’ll not find a better book than this one. To get the most out of this series I really would begin at the beginning but it’s not necessary. Fever follows Keltan and Bernadette. With the leader of the dragon kings M.I.A. Keltan is recruited to investigate Bernadette who claims to have evidence that dragons really do exist. From the beginning I could feel the connection between Keltan and Bernadette. I was pleasantly surprised when she showed up unexpectedly at Dreagan. This is were Bernadette learns the truth about the Dragon Kings. It doesn’t take long before they discover who is behind trying to expose the Kings. Without giving too much away Fever is by far one of my favorites. We finally got our battle we’ve been waiting for and I honestly was shocked when I finished reading it. I was and am at a loss of words. If you have not read this series yet you’ve been living on another planet. Do not wait another minute. You’ll not be disappointed.

Although much of beginning is devoted to catching readers up on the dragon king story, It is still worthwhile to catch up a little on prior stories. There are many books but interesting nonetheless. This is another in long line of dragon Kings...lots of action, romance and tons of plot twists. Although story is about another dragon king, finally story about Rhi.

Another excellent story in the Dark Kings series. I am normally not a big fan of paranormal but I am thoroughly enjoying this series.

WOW! Donna Grant does it again! She wrote another book in the Dark Kings series that got me so hooked from the very beginning that I just couldn't put it down.

First off if you are new to this series I do suggest you don't read this one because it is book number 16. Please start from the very beginning of the series so that it will be easier to follow.

I absolutely have been loving this series so far and yes I loved this book so very much. I love the characters.

There is romance, suspense and a great battle. If you are a fan of this book series you don't want to miss out reading this one.

I am giving this 5 out of 5.

Fever is the long awaited 16th book in Donna Grant's Dragon King series. As each King finds his mate, the inevitable battle between the Kings and the light fae queen looms. Oh boy was this book so very amazing. Kelton always hides in shadows and dreams. He is sent by his brothers to listen to Bernadette Davies, an anthropologist who is spouting that dragons are real. It is quickly realized that Usaeil - we all know what we call her, is using Bernadette. This book was everything I wanted with all the kings, their mates, Con, Balladyn, Rhi and even reapers. The dragon king series just keeps getting better. I cannot wait to find out who Rhi's dragon king is and who is Con's fated mate.

4 STARS.......I loved everything this book had to offer, even the fact that the ending leaves you with more questions and wanting more. Mystery and intrigue, twists and turns, tears and cheers. Yes, there is a lot going on but I enjoyed every minute of it. The only thing that would make this better is the ability to listen to it. To hear that sexy Scottish accent of Kelton.....sigh.

I have to confess, I have not read every book in this series but I'm thinking I should. This is book 16 in the series and surprisingly, I wasn't lost in the story. This is an awesome Paranormal Romance must-read!

Is this the final battle? Keltan knows that he needs to find out what this beautiful woman knows about dragons. He thought that they had nothing to fear but someone is feeding her information. Bernadette knows that dragons are real she just needs others to listen. She just doesn't realise that Usaeil has been using her to turn others against the dragons. Is it too late for Keltan to save her? Is Rhi ready to fight the queen and who will win the battle? Will Con show his true colours? Will the Dragon Kings be able to claim their mates without fear or is there others waiting? Another good read in the series. I was lucky enough to receive a copy from netgalley & the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

There are answers to some of the questions readers have been putting out there, but with FEVER, new things come out that will have readers going a new direction with their thoughts. .. It is hard to write a review for a book such as this one, because I hate to ruin the mystery for others, so let me say fans of Ms. Grant's Dark Kings will not want to miss FEVER.

If you love your Dragon Kings, a sweet and steamy romance, action, danger, intrigue, and are ready to maybe shed a few tears, then FEVER is what you need to get your hands on.

A complex story of dragons, fae, others and mortals. Good story but being new to the series, very confusing. The passion and love that Kelton and Bernadette feels is real and authentic.

FEVER, A Dark Kings Novel by Donna Grant is book 16 in the Dark Kings Series. This is the story of Kelton and Bernadette. I have read the previous books which I do think helped me to enjoy this one but you can make it a standalone book if you wish to do so. Bernadette is a Dr/scientist who feels that dragons are real and that they are connected to Dreagan Industries. Kelton is sent to see what her findings are and if they are real that might expose them. Kelton was never one to truly be looking for his mate but what he finds in Bernadette is changing that attitude. I am enjoying this series and of course Ms. Grant's writing.

The Dragon Kings’ fight with Useail is come to a head. The final battle is now and the Kings must figure out her plan before their mates come to harm. Bernadette has become a pawn of Useail. She is willing to stand up for Keltan and the others and so whatever she can to find a way to help them.

Unfortunately the danger is just Useail and even defeating her won’t being an end to their troubles.

Fever is the 16th book in Donna Grant's exciting and sensual Dark Kings series. Does it stand alone? Well, kinda sorta. This story is a conglomeration of Dark Kings, Reapers, Dark and Light Fae, Druids, Others and humans. I recommend reading the series in order for maximum enjoyment. However, the story centering around this particular couple stands alone. So jump right in and enjoy the romance and exciting storyline. Don't give yourself a headache trying to figure everything out. Just go back and catch up when you're finished with this one!

Dr. Bernadette Davies was once a respected anthropologist; however, after meeting the Queen of the Light Fae, she is shown that dragons and otherworldly species do exist. She is now a cryptozoologist lecturing about the existence of dragons. Kelton, a Dragon King, attends a lecture given by her to learn what proof she may have of their existence. The two are instantly attracted to each other, which makes things difficult for Kelton, who always swore that he would never fall in love and mate. He brings her to the stronghold of the Dragon Kings so she can learn all about them, with the understanding that when they are through her mind will be wiped clean of all she saw. Things don't always go as planned, though...

The romance between Bernadette and Kelton was sweet and playful, but also incredibly sexy. Ms. Grant really knows how to write steamy time! We also catch up a bit with couples from the previous books. We learn what really happened to Con, King of the Dragon Kings. The most exciting part of this book, however, deals with the clash of war that ignites involving the Dragon Kings, the King of the Dark Fae and Queen of the Light Fae and their respective armies, and the enigmatic Rhi. Main characters were killed (I was totally devastated by one of the deaths!), but where are their bodies?! Though this is the 16th book, there are still many more stories to be told, and the series remains fresh and exciting. I can't wait to visit this world and its inhabitants once again.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review, and all thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Book 16. A thrilling addition to a great series. Dragons, love and drama. Donna' s writing catches a reader and brings them into her world.

When I finished Ignite, I was curious about who the next book was going to be about. I knew it wasn’t Con, because Ub*tch had him, so I figured it was Kelton. As for the woman, that was left up in the air. So, I wasn’t surprised when Kelton was the first person mentioned. I was surprised at who his mate was and how he met her.

Fever was an exciting book to read. I was expecting more of a filler book, like Ignite. To my surprise, Fever ended up being so much more. Not only was it Kelton/Bernadette’s romance, but there was a progression with all the major storylines – Con/Ub*tch storyline, the storyline with Rhi, the Dark Fae storyline and the storyline with The Others.

I wasn’t too sure about Bernadette. Like the Dragon Kings, I thought that she was getting her information from someone. I figured it was a disgruntled someone. But I wasn’t expecting it to be Ub*tch. Her sudden decision to go to Dreagan also raised my red flags, as did her immediate attraction to Kelton. But after her heart to heart with him and seeing exactly how Ub*tch destroyed Bernadette’s life made any reservations I had towards her go away. What Ub*tch did to her in this book was awful. Which lead me to wonder, exactly what did Ub*tch know about Bernadette? I also wanted to know why Rhi was so drawn to her. I have a feeling I know why, but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. All I will say that if I am right, that is a HUGE bombshell!!

I loved Kelton. He was willing to do whatever it took to find out who was leaking Bernadette. But when Bernadette showed up at Dreagan, he decided to be honest with her. He didn’t expect to fall in love. I loved how honest he was about his struggle with Con’s decision to send the dragons home. Once he determined that Ub*tch was using Bernadette, he was going to do anything to protect her, which included sending her back to that conniving evil witch. I did get a laugh over his complete denial of his feelings for Bernadette. Typical alpha male right there.

Bernadette and Kelton had major sexual chemistry and sexual attraction from the beginning. That translated into some seriously hot sex scenes. I did feel let down when they figured out that Ub*tch spelled Bernadette to attract a Dragon King (ie, Kelton). I had a brief moment of panic that those impressive sex scenes I read were magically induced. Thankfully, the author cleared that up fast.

I am glad that Rhi made more of an appearance in Fever. Like I said above, I have a theory of why she was so drawn to Bernadette. Also, her struggle with the dark was so much more pronounced in Fever. I felt terrible for her.

I couldn’t stand Ub*tch. What she did to Bernadette (the blood spell) was wrong. What she was doing Xanth was wrong also. That poor man. She tortured him!! What happened at the end of the book was terrific, but I wish there were closure!!!

I didn’t understand why Death and the Reapers weren’t getting involved with what was going on in Fever. I started to get irritated because Death made such a big deal about Ub*tch being taken down. But, there was a scene towards the end of the book that made me go “Hrrrmmmm.” Made me wonder what the author has in store for that storyline!!

The Dark Fae storyline (with Balladyn) surprised me. I was NOT expecting what happened to happen. I put the book down and said: “Holy crap, that just DIDN’T happen!!!”

The storyline with Con and Ub*tch had me going. I didn’t know what to think about what was going on. All I could think was that it wasn’t good.

The storyline with Henry and Melisse fascinated me. Precisely who is Melisse, and what does she want with Henry? I cannot wait to read the next book.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. This was just a wonderful book to read and it was just easy to lose yourself in the story. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
