About this ebook

Laith was powerless not to respond.

Their eyes met again, held. He felt an uncontrollable, undeniable pull to this woman and he fought against it. Hard. It was more than just lust. This...feeling...was on another plane all together...

DARKNESS AND SECRETS SURROUND HIM
His name is Laith. To most, he's known as the owner of a local pub near Dreagan. But little do his patrons know that beneath his handsome, charming exterior Laith has the heart and soul of a Dragon King-one who wields control by keeping his friends close and his enemies closer. Until a beautiful, mysterious stranger enters the picture, and sets his whole world on fire...

SHE IS HIS SALVATION
To learn the truth about her dead father, Iona has returned to Scotland only to learn that she's part of an ancient pact with Dreagan-one that will threaten the fragile peace with the Dragon Kings. Gorgeous, sly Iona isn't like anyone Laith has ever met before...and she harbors a secret that others would kill to possess. Will she complete him-or destroy him? Passion always comes with a price...in Hot Blooded by Donna Grant.

Ratings and reviews

With a fast pace and smooth flowing plot, this romance enthralls readers from the very beginning with suspense, action and romance. Iona captures the heart a young woman who doesn’t believe in love and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as she returns to Scotland to discover her father’s secrets only to have her world turned upside down. Laith makes hearts pound as the Dragon King determined not to find a mate but soon discovers that the mysterious Iona has the power to destroy him. These strong compelling characters grab reader’s attention and ensure that they have to know the entire story behind their sizzling attraction and romance. The well written scenes and details paint vivid imagery that capture the imagination and make it easy for the reader become lost in the story and the well orchestrated action and suspense draws the reader in and holds them hostage until they have read every last word. To spice things up even more, the Dragon Kings are being attacked from several different sides and they have to call for reinforcements which add more wonderful characters and magic to the story.

Hot Blooded is a good story. Grant will give us more history of the DK's as well as many more questions. Rhi will make an appearance but she has changed. Hot Blooded is set at a slow pace at first but quickly picks up. The Warriors and Druids have a big effect on this story and I love when they make an appearance. Overall another good story in the Dark World Grant has created. Happy Reading!!

I love this series! Each book is even better than the previous one. I love the way Donna builds the anticipation for the next book throughout the current one I'm reading. Love the suspense!
