The Dragon Tributes #8
Red Fury
The dragons on Mistveil Island are not your run-of-the-mill kind. They’re something else entirely…
When I’m summoned to the Royal Offices, I expect to be promoted. I’ve earned it. I’m so sure the job is mine, but as it turns out, I was wrong. What I get instead is a one-way ticket to the Mainland on a covert mission so secret, my own people will abandon me if I’m caught. My career? On the line – the promotion too. My life? Seriously at risk. And if I fail…the cost could end up being measured in dragon blood.
No pressure!
Through new intel, it has become apparent that the humans are hiding something. I need to find out what that something is. More importantly, a Draiger agent has been sent to infiltrate the Mainland government. My identify them, stop them, and – if necessary – end them.
No problem!
Turns out our mystery agent is not only female but sexy as hell, with one heck of a smart mouth. So much so that she has my dragon all riled up.
I don’t like it one damned bit.
We may have struck up a reluctant truce, but I need to watch my back. She’s not to be trusted. Certainly not with so much at stake.
This story contains mature themes/language. Also, be prepared for a ton of growls, dirty talk, and a hard-won HEA. Hulking, skulking, foul-mouthed, brooding dragons ahead. You were warned!

Red Fury🐉
Oh boy, this one packs a mighty and twisty punch🥊
Shadow, from Draig Island and Fury, from Mistveil Island both find themselves on the Mainland after their superiors send them on a mission. Unbeknownst to them, they both are essentially doing the same thing, just in different capacities❣️They decide to trust each other but the intel they discover is not good for either of their people. But the revelations themselves from this are astounding.
Absolutely loved Shadow and Fury😍 Not sure if we have more of these dragons headed our way in the future but definitely wouldn’t say no to more☺️ I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❤️

Captivating read, wonderful addition to Dragon Tributes a story that held me riveted throughout
I thought this was another simply wonderful read and the actual characters and the storyline were wonderfully written; I will wait earnestly for the next book in this series. I have to say without a shadow of a doubt that as much as I have enjoyed all of the previous books in the series, I actually think this was my favourite up until now.
This book was filled with secret missions that were filled with danger and passionate encounters and interactions. This story had absolutely everything you could possibly want and the human government in this story and the actual and the other species element was delightful and I have to say that I am absolutely loving every moment of this captivating series.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Okay, of this series, the Red King was my favorite… and I had great expectations for this story because ed were going to finally get some answers.
And the answers are predictable (that’s fine, I’m okay with that.), but both the MMC and FMC spend so much time questioning themselves and each other, it makes them being “highly trained operatives infiltrating the government” less believable. It was more like two young kinds trying to figure out whether the girl/guy likes me or not.
The plot didn’t move forward very far in this story and that was kind of a bummer. Not sure I will keep up with the series. The last several books the plot moved well and the spicy scenes were great. The characters were mostly believable. But this one dropped the ball and felt more like a quick “connector book.”
Anyway. Read on!

Fury and Shadow’s story was the perfect addition to the Dragon Tributes series ! 2 dragons undercover is on the mainland ! What could go wrong with that ?? Lol, apparently… Everything ! Lots of snark, heated exchanges and the sex !! OMG the heat would melt an ice berg ! Plus there’s one or 2 major plot twists that rock the whole series ! This is the best book in the series to date , as far as I’m concerned ! 5✨’s and I can’t wait until the next book comes out ! I received an ARC of the book from the Author and I’m choosing to leave this review. But seriously people, the plot twists alone make reading the book worthwhile !

Book 8!!!!
Shadow finally got her book! I almost forgot about sis. It was interesting to see how different and vulnerable she was from the fierce Shadow we have come to know in the series. They literally turned her into a damsel in distress!
Fury? Took you long enough, bruh!
While there's no love lost between the Draigers and Reds, we finally got some answers! Hopefully these 2 islands can come together to fight the common enemy. The mainland has some explaining to do!
How did we go from loving Steele ìn one book to wanting to choke him out in another?? 😩
Vampire and wolves?? It's getting hot in here! Is there a spin-off in the horizon or expanding the series?

Wow!
This book was such a great read in this Dragon Tributes series.
Bringing together Fury & Shadow was a brilliant move plus it has moved the whole series into a different realm after all the revelations of this part.
Wonderful character development & a whole new race that I hadn’t seen coming.
It was a serious rush of emotions & enlightenment as to what has been going on throughout the entire series.
I don’t know where it will go next but it’s going to be a rollercoaster of a ride!

nuclear threat and another species crosses the dragons path
Great installment. This one has everything. Espionage, mystery, suspense, love and battles. Learn how opposite island dragons decide to work together. Little do they know the humans are actually more treacherous than they ever realized and there are a few of their kind ensuring it. Read how these two grow together and form more than a truce. Enjoy!

Oh my goodness this one was a rollercoaster!!! Secret missions, danger, passion, it had it all. We found out a lot more about both islands and the human government in this story and the whole other species element was delightful. I’m loving every moment of this series.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.

Enemies to Lovers
I loved the arc of this latest dragon tributes story with Fury and Shadow. On Opposite sides until they weren't! The issues that they both had to get through in order to find each love in each other's eyes. Beautifully written from Charlene Hartnady as per normal. Now that secrets have been revealed, I can't wait to see where the dragons go next.

I loved Shadow and Furys book. Ive been waiting for Shadow to get her happily ever after. Their story has lots of angst, danger and steamy scenes. Part of it takes place on the mainland so we get introduced to other characters and species! I can't wait for the next book and to learn more about the world rhe author is creating. It's fascinating!!

Another riveting story, can’t wait to see what happens next, Kozlov is not too bad, but can the dragons trust him? Why should they let him call the shots on what species go to the mainland?

addictive
As usual, a continuing exciting saga, with all new plot twist and turns. A great escape from the stresses of today’s world.

Red Fury – Charlene Hartnady
⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️ ( 4 stars)
This book was another fun and exciting addition to The Dragon Tributes series! 🔥 The spice was, as always, amazing — Charlene never disappoints there. What made this one stand out is the setting: instead of being centered only around the dragon islands, the story unfolds in the human world, bringing a fresh vibe and introducing a whole new species and characters to the series.
The ending ties up the couple’s arc in a satisfying way, but still leaves the door open for future developments — especially with the new species, which feels like it has huge potential for upcoming books. That balance of closure and anticipation is something I really enjoy in this series.
I continue to adore these characters and the dragons — my heart belongs to the Reds, though both islands bring so much life to the story. Overall, it was a solid 4-star read for me: entertaining, hot, and with plenty of promise for what’s next. I’ve already pre-ordered the upcoming book and can’t wait to dive back into this world!
