Synopsis:
Kasia Amon is a master at hiding. Who―and what―she is makes her a mark for the entire supernatural world. Especially dragon shifters. To them, she's treasure to be taken and claimed. A golden ticket to their highest throne. But she can't stop bursting into flames, and there's a sexy dragon shifter in town hunting for her...
As a rogue dragon, Brand Astarot has spent his life in the dark, shunned by his own kind, concealing his true identity. Only his dangerous reputation ensures his survival. Delivering a phoenix to the feared Blood King will bring him one step closer to the revenge he's waited centuries to take. No way is he letting the feisty beauty get away.
But when Kasia sparks a white-hot need in him that's impossible to ignore, Brand begins to form a new plan: claim her for himself...and take back his birthright.
Review:
The Rogue King was a forbidden dragon shifter romance that was filled with action and a lot of heart. With political intrigue, precarious situations, and a fascinating world, I fell madly in love with this book! I cried, laughed, and this story went right onto my favorites list. If you love romance that holds you in the palm of its hand, definitely add this one to your tbr!
“My knight in shining scales,” she quipped.
“I’m no knight any more than you’re a princess,” came the immediate denial.
Huh. Little do you know.
This story started off with a bang and within a few chapters, Brand and Kasia found themselves being hunted. Brand was a dragon shifter, who was supposed to bring Kasia back to the Blood King. It would make him one step closer to his revenge. Yet they hit a plethora of obstacles along the way. The action was so much fun, and it made this book impossible to put down!
She called to something deep inside him.
Mine, that voice whispered.
Brand was someone I instantly loved. He was protective and loyal, yet I wanted Kasia to be for him. He was so focused on the end game, that he didn’t even realize when little cracks started to appear in his plan as a friendship formed between them. But Brand was the mysterious and silent type. I loved getting to know him, and when he would show us little peaks into who he was, it felt like the sun was breaking through the clouds.
“It’s not smart to piss off a dragon.”
She lifted a single eyebrow and snorted— a very dragon sound. “Like you’d hurt me.”
There went that trust thing again, like a quiver of arrows unloaded into his heart. Only now, it just pissed him off.
There was so much unknown in Kasia’s world, but her visions never steered her wrong. Because of them, she knew without a shadow of doubt that Brand would always protect her. That she was safe with him. So as she traveled with Brand, I loved that we got to see how brave and fierce she could be. And that in the end, she definitely knew what she wanted! I easily loved Kasia with my whole heart!
Kasia kept pushing. “Look at how you handled our first meeting. Your instinct was to help me.”
Now he scowled. “My first instinct was to fuck you. Long and hard.”
On their dangerous travels, watching them get to know each other was so entertaining. I loved how they messed with one another. How they learned to rely on each other. And how they worked together as a team. But one of them things I loved the most, was when their moments turned seductively steamy. Sigh. Rounding out this story were so many fabulous characters that I can’t wait to see in future books!
To hell with supposed- tos, and the world outside, and what logic should tell her was a bad idea. She didn’t want to stop this, to fight it any longer.
With revenge, lies, bargains, and love, The Rogue King was an instant favorite! This story will make you feel so much, I even screamed and jumped haha. And while I couldn’t wait to jump into the next book, I learned that this series, Inferno Rising, intertwines with the Fire’s Edge Series. And the author has a reading order recommendation on her website that I will be following. I’ll share the link here. Enjoy!
