Midnight's Captive: Part 1
From New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant comes a new tale of The Dark Warriors—men who have been bound by gods, fighting a deadly war that normal humans know nothing about. It is a brutal, unforgiving battle that may cost them their souls…unless they can find the one woman whose love can set them free.
Laura Black knows her boss is a man of many secrets—haunted by some unknowable force, driven by some unspeakable destiny—and yet it makes her crave the devilishly handsome, roguishly charming Charon all the more. When she uncovers a betrayal that will send her into a world of magic, she turns to the only one she trusts: Charon. Even when she’s in jeopardy of losing her heart…

The sixth book in Donna Grant’s amazing Dark Warrior series is being broke down and sold initially as a serial. Readers are being given the chance to begin Charon and Laura’s romance nearly a month before you can buy the book in its entirety on July 2nd.
Charon is one of the warriors that have always stayed away from the other warriors and MacLeod Castle. He harbors an insane amount of guilt due to his time inside Deirdra’s torturous dungeon within the mountain of Cairn Toul. Even though he did what he did due to self-preservation he caused much harm to the other prisoners in the dungeon, his fellow Warriors.
In the first part of Midnight’s Captive Laura is mostly a mystery. She is Charon’s employee, an assistant. She is a diligent worker who has a secret crush on her employer. It is not until the very end that readers learn how she will play into the world itself. The attraction between Laura and Charon is big. When these two finally do decide to let each other in it will be intense.
I’ve known that the Dark King dragons from the Dreagan Distillery had a role within the Dark Warrior world. To see them finally get some page time within this series was a big boon for me. It also leads me to believe that we will be seeing more of them. Charon’s reaction to one of the men there has given me hope that my thoughts on one of the warriors and a specific dragon may very well in fact be accurate. I just love it when I guess correctly on something.
Readers are also treated to some page time with Aiden. He has ventured outside of the protective bubble of MacLeod Castle for a research mission that may help his family and friends get a much needed leg up on the evil that is Jason Wallace. There is an added bonus of the very pretty Britt that is helping him with his task.

I waited till I could get the whole parts in one book.if I was a tiny bit disappointed in Midnight Kiss, Miss Grant made it all good with this one. Captivating,suspenseful,sexy, surprising, this is the stuff how she had captivated me by her first book, this is the Donna Grant I'm used to and admire and adore.
I do love how she brings several " families" together. Lots of her fans were waiting for this. Old acquaintances get a whole new meaning. Very entertaining. If I could I would give her more than 5 stars only.
The whole book is magical

Okay, so this book starts off May 2014, which is awesome cause then Donna begins going into all the neat cars they each have and whatnots.... Charon, who has gone back to his home village after hundreds of years and his family is long gone, and sets up life right...? alright, so Jason Wallace (scumbag I tell ya... him and Mindy are just... exasperating...) Jason does however seem to have things figured out a bit further than Dierdre OR Declan.... Loved that Laura has this secret long time crush on Charon... Phelan is also coming along rather nicely in this book... And then Jason Wallace decides that he is going to try to kidnap Laura to hurt Charon as a form of revenge, and upon realizing this, Phelan and Charon are arguing about who will and how soon they will be taking Laura to safety at none other than MacLeod Castle... Laura walks in after hearing them talking and..... CLIFF HANGER!! I couldn't turn another page until I got to Wi-Fi because I didn't have Midnight's Captive: Part 2 downloaded from my cloud... I bought it, but it wasn't on... physically ON my Kindle!! OH THE HORROR!! Loved this book!
I give this book 5 out of 5 shields!!

Will everything going on the warriors should do something different. Charon should have figured out Lauren is his before all this. Nice to see the dragons have let themselves be known
