Donna Grant (Goodreads Author)
Fueled by dragon magic, the dark immortal warriors were never meant to feel human desire, much less fall in love. But when Guy, a member of an ancient order of shape-shifting warriors, meets Elena Griffin—a mere mortal whose beauty and blind ambition shakes him to his core—all bets are off…

I really enjoyed this second novella of the Dragon Kings!!!

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.

TOTALLY ADDICTIVE
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: ❤❤❤
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
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:

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.
Dragons who knew . Talk about sexy and exotic and add an accent and you will be with me from the first word to the last . I fell In love with Guy and Elena and wanted the book to go on and on so will be counting the days for the next instalment to come out . Donna you did it again I will be curled up on the couch again and again to visit with these strong and wonderful men and women .

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!!
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?
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.
