A Dragon's Tale

A Dragon’s Tale is a collection of three novellas about a couple of characters fans of the Dragon Kings have all come to love. Con and Rhi, star crossed lovers who have been through h—l and back and are finally looking for their happily ever after. These engaging short tales share a bit of their present, reveal more of their past and hint at their future. Highly recommended for any fans of our Dragon Kings.

Whiskey and Wishes 5/5 This little holiday themed novella is #18.4 in the Dark Kings Series and reads best as part of the series. Picking up after Inferno, this tale asks the questions we all have been dying to voice. While we get some answers, we are left with several unanswered queries. This book is a transition between the Dark Kings and the upcoming series Dragon Kings and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next! A nice quick read with a lighthearted feel.

Heart of Gold 5/5 Ever wondered what Con’s red journals contained? What emotions he revealed in he private confessions? The little hints we received throughout the series did little to prepare us for the depth of emotions we find in this novella. It takes us on a rollercoaster ride from agony to ecstasy and everywhere in between. Thank you for this glimpse into the soul of our Golden King and his lady love.

Of Fire and Flame 4/5 This short prequel novella fills in the gaps and reveals details the other books missed. Here we finally get to see what really happened so long ago when Con shattered Rhi’s heart. All the little pieces we remember from each of the Dark King tales will finally make complete sense. It is a very emotional read told from the point of view of all three of the main players in this traumatic event. A very quick read with all the angst you would expect to find. Just wish it had a little more ....

REVIEW: A DRAGON’S TALE is a collection of three previously released novellas in Donna Grant’s DARK KINGS paranormal, romance series.

WHISKY AND WISHES:

WHISKY AND WISHES by Donna Grant is a holiday novella found in the author’s Dark Kings series following the revelations in book eighteen INFERNO.

NOTE: If you have not read book eighteen INFERNO there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from third person perspectives WHISKY AND WISHES focuses on the rekindling relationship between Constantine, King of Kings, and his mate, Fae warrior Rhiannon. With Con and Rhi’s relationship starting anew, the other Dragon Kings and their mates have booked time away to allow Con and Rhi to rekindle their love but the approach of the human holidays aka Christmas, Hanukkah, and the New Year, Rhi sets about to decorate the castle, preparing for a welcome home celebration for the Kings, the Reapers and the Fae, but there continues to be heart break and pain as Rhi and Con have not heard from the other Dragons and their loved ones, who were sent to the other realm. As Rhi and Con come to a decision, the Kings struggle to locate one of their own.

WHISKY AND WISHES is a quick read; a fast paced novella that bridges between the Dark Kings and Donna Grant’s new spin off series beginning with Dragon Revealed (Varek, King of Lichens) in January 2021. The premise is entertaining; the romance is spicy and seductive; the characters are numerous and familiar. WHISKY AND WISHES is a bit of a filler between series, setting up for a new adventure with the dragons and their mates.

HEART OF GOLD

HEART OF GOLD is the February 2021 novella in Donna Grant’s contemporary, adult DARK KING paranormal/fantasy romance series focusing on the Dragon Kings and the women they love. This is the continuing story of Constantine, King of Dragon Kings, and his mate, Light Fae Rhiannon. HEART OF GOLD can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Rhi and Con) HEART OF GOLD focuses on Con’s red journals, journals in which he wrote his most intimate thoughts and professions of love for his mate Rhiannon. Thousands of years earlier, Con pushed Rhi out of his life, and in the ensuing time the guilt and grief consumed our story line couple. With their rekindling and second chance at their own happily ever after, Rhi finds Con’s journals, and embarks on a journey of love from the man she has never stopped loving, herself.

HEART OF GOLD is a story of heart break, reflection, acceptance and love. A quick look at one man’s thoughts about what was, what happened, and his need for the only woman that controls his heart.
