Review: Ignite

Ignite by Donna Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

V is the dragon king the others worry about because his grip on reality is not solid. They think it is because his sword has been stolen from him and he can't remember how. With this new story featuring what happened to V, it becomes more alarming. There are enemies the Dragon King does not even know about.

I loved learning about V. He is a dragon who is confused and is not seeing any meaning to life. When he chances upon Claire, it is as if he suddenly awakens. He knows something about her is special and he is intent on finding out. Claire on the other hand is a strong female with quite the burden to carry. She's been tasked with a family secret which she struggles to understand. When she meets V, a chain of events generations in the making finally kick off.

This chain of events leads the reader on a merry chase across the world and through time. It is a page turner and kept me up all night reading. The richness of the story is a trademark of Ms. Grant and I enjoy every new story she's written in this series. The formula for the book is essentially the same. Dragon finds female. Female is wary of Dragon. Dragon is in denial. A threat materializes to possibly take said female away; Dragon freaks out and realizes he loves her. Simple in formula yet Ms. Grant weaves it with many delicious scenes. Her character building is strong as each of these Dragon Kings and their one are unique. They have similar circumstances yet they respond in different manners. The way the characters grow together and fall for each other is the sweet romance to balance out the terrible acts committed against this noble dragons.

With each story and each dragon lord I read about, I'm even more vested in this world. I can't exactly see a happily ever after here because there are so many forces working against the dragons. And the dragons are fighting muzzled and with their wings clipped so to speak. They won't raise a hand to their enemies and play dirty. Sometimes being the good guy does not mean winning at the end.

This paranormal romance is recommended to readers who love dragons, adventure and timeless love.
