Having left America to explore the Scottish Highlands, Elena suddenly finds herself...more

Elena Griffin and her friend, Sloan trespass on private property to go caving. As it is her first time doing this, Elena shows a lot of anxiety and stumbles her way through this adventure. It seems that her friend Sloan is overly excited about this trip because she pushes Elena almost to the point of exhaustion. It is only when they are deep within the cave that Sloan allows Elena to rest. But Sloan isn’t ready to slow down just yet. Leaving Elena alone to rest for awhi...more

The second book in author Donna Grant's addictive DARK KINGS series! Taken from my review at RomanceJunkies.com:

Elena Griffin has worked her way up the ladder for the past eight years, hoping to win a promotion to the London office to begin with. Having a desire to see the world, she figures her work with gems will allow her to work all over the world, one country at a time. Finally getting her desired promotion to London just a month ago, she has only been on the job for two weeks. So when her...more

I enjoyed this book better then the first. I felt like the first book set us up but this one really took us into the story with the Kings.

The circumstances that brought Guy and Elena together were tragic to say the least. Elena has gone caving with her brand new boss, as she had only been in Great Britain a short while she felt obligated to go. She didn’t realize that this one caving trip would change her life forever. After the tragic accident Elena is wounded and scared, when the Kings find h...more

I got up in the middle of the night to make sure my pre-order of "Night's Awakening" downloaded to my Kindle. I think I squealed just a bit once I saw it officially. =)
I even decided to stay up just a little bit to read it, although I was exhausted from the day before. I was determined to read Guy's story.
Elena is off exploring with her boss, Sloan, who wants to go caving on private land. Elena knows something is up with her boss because supposedly Sloan...more

NIGHT'S AWAKENING of the Dark King series by Donna Grant
I loved it! It's all about Highlanders, Warriors, Gragon Kings, Dragon-shifters!
This second story, as an ebooks, is romantic, amusing, exciting.
It wanted to read more and I would have liked it a bit longer.
Beautiful cover and nice choice of tattoo for her main character, Guy.
I loved her characters! Guy, a Dark King, a virile man, an immortal extremely
powerful Dragon King. He is also part man / part dragon. He can shift f...more

My Rating: ❤❤❤
GOOD: The characteristics of a 3 star book include: interesting characters, a decent storyline, and unique story elements; there was something about the story that I didn’t completely connect with; the book is a solid read. I would recommend it to a friend.
My Thoughts:
This one was a so-so read for me. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series. It was a bit blah and the story felt bland. Grant did try to add an element of suspense but it was just a miss for me. Also...more

Absolutely great book! I love the whole Dragon shifters and secret for humanity. Guy knew something was up almost like he could feel a change coming. Elaine was new to the UK and when Guy finds her in the mountain, after a rock-climbing mishap. The Kings have to find out WHY Sloan and Elaine were in the mountain and what is going on with Guy and Elaine? Why are these changes happening to their magic and the silver dragons???? Awesome book and can't wait for #3.

Jessie
Another interesting novella by Grant. Book two brought in an interesting plot twist and beats into the reader why the Dragon Kings are so paranoid about their privacy. On to book 3.

This book does contain some sexy bits.
Candace
Awesome book, leaves you wondering With quesions and excited for the next book..
Hot highlanders who turn into dragons with dangers out there. Can't wait to see where Donna Grant will take us next in Dawns desires..
Courtney
Enjoyed this one as much as the previous one. Quick, easy read. Glad that the history of the dragons was explained a little bit more in depth and I am curious to see how the new plot arc introduced in the last few chapters is resolved in the final ebook.
Bridgette Bandell
This book was very fast paced and very well written. the tension raised between Guy and Elena. I enjoyed how in tune to each other the two were from the get go. I am interested to see where the next book takes us! I wish this book was a little longer but loved how even though the novella was short.... there were no details spared. Only deepening my Donnaddiction!!
Desiree
Love, loved it!!! Hate that we have to wait to find out what happens with Elena. Can't wait for the next one!! So hurry up Ms.Donna, please and thank you. :)

Another fun quick read. I enjoyed it, but found parts of the story to be a repetition of Dark Craving.
Kathryn
Talk about love stories! Guy & Elena have a mystery surrounding them but the Dreagans even more so. Are they in danger? Are their protected lives about to come crumbling down?
Shannon
Hero: Guy
Heroine: Elena Griffin
Costars: Banan, Rhys, Con


Guy and Elena are intense and passionate. I didn't feel the same emotional connection as I did between Cassie and Hal in Dark Craving but the potential is definitely there. Maybe be it will develop more in the Dawn's Desire.

can't wait for the next book to come... it is getting better..
