Publisher's summary

Denae Lacroix is a beautiful MI5 agent on a deadly mission. Sent to the Scottish Highlands to spy on the mysterious Dreagan Industries, she discovers too late that she's been set up - as human bait. She is an irresistible lure for a man who has not seen or touched a woman for centuries. He is a man with a destiny - and a desire - that could destroy them both. It's been 1,200 years since Kellan has walked among humans - and there's no denying the erotically charged attraction he feels for Denae. But as a Dragon King, he is sworn to protect his secrets. Yet the closer he gets to this smart, ravishing woman, the more her life is in danger. All it takes is one reckless kiss to unleash a flood of desire, the fury of dragons - and the fiercest enemy of all.

🔥 Fierce Flaming Romance🔥

🐉🔥🐲 🔥🐉🔥🐉

Phew! This was a long one, but oh so good! What do you get when you cross a beautiful but bada$$ secret agent with a grouchy but sexy as sin Dragon King? 👑 More erotically charged fireworks than a 4th of July Celebration!

This is no damsel in distress tale, but rather a game charge get your hands dirty, not afraid to fight the evil fae, and stand up to centuries old dragons kind of chick.

Even when Denae was hurt she never let it slow her down. And in those rare times she showed her heart and was vulnerable, were the times the Dragon King, Kellen found her spirit the most fierce.

These two were definitely made for each other. I loved their story.

The side stories are pretty great too, and with a pending war on the horizon, and an unknown enemy still in the wings, it has warriors, druids, light and dark fae, and the Dragon Kings anxiously awaiting to see who will make the first move.

I am loving this series so far!💕

Love Love Love

I completely love the idea of there being dragon kings in this world. And in such a beautiful setting as Scotland!

All done

this eill be yhe last that I read.i found it to br too repetitive 8n descriptions and romantic thoughts . some interesting moments.

Narrator pls STOP trying to do an American accent

Dear Narrator,

Your Irish brogue is really wonderful and sexy, but the first time you narrated Denae's Texas accented character, I thought it was a joke in the storyline or something, but then I realized disappointingly it wasn't and that you were going to be reading her that way all the way through the book. I only finished the story because that was the only book I had on my phone while on a long trip..
Not sure if it is all female voices or because you were trying to do a Texas accented female voice. I'm sorry, and not trying to be mean but Denae's narration comes across as cartoon-ish and really spoils the story....

good story

Good story, not so good narrator. The narrative for the male characters weren't bad . But the narrative for the female characters especially the American female characters were cringeworthy at best. So if you can get past that give this a listen .

Ok....BUT....

Every time I get into the story, the girl opens her mouth and totally blows me out of the mood. Her southern belle accent belongs in this book about as well as a Porky Pig accent. Really distracting!!! Also, the sex scenes are vivid but there is not enough of the courting and romantic build-up. I didn't feel the connection.....it was just a bunch of words between strangers. If you have ever read Darynda Jones novels, you would understand what I mean.

Darkest Flame

This is my 2nd time reading this book. I loved it just as much the 2nd time as the 1st. Denae is an MI5 agent and finds herself in a bad situation. Kellan is just trying to sleep in his cave. When he first meets Denae, Kellen wants nothing to do with her. But feelings are hard to ignore when you meet the one person in the whole world that you are meant to be with.

nice listen

Nice introduction into this world, can not wait for more. I just wish we got to know the main characters more depth

An Excellent Adventure!

I kept seeing adverts about the series, and I’m MOST glad I listened! The narration was absolutely brilliant - literal living art! The southern accent (and attitude) was eerily on point..the story was fun, fast paced, full of adventure and, of course, deliciously tantalizing in all of the right places. On to book 2!

Good Story but not for Me

This was a really good story. amazing sex scenes but there was too much back and forth for me and too many unanswered questions. Why could the Denae do so much and what was it about Kellan that allowed it? We the spy? This book ended with too many unanswered questions. I don't know if I'm going to stick around for book 2
