3-3.5 stars - Paranormal Romance

What would you do for the one you love? Rhi has loved for centuries and has been 100% faithful and all she has gotten in return is this loneliness that she keeps well hidden, Darius has lost his mate once and has closed himself off, Sophie was almost destroyed by betrayal as was Ulrik. When those walls come down and it's time to move on...will they learn from their mistakes or take it one step farther?
Darius knows how much being a doctor and Sophie's career means to her so when this is all over what does that mean for them. Ulrik is getting cockier and stronger. Handling him is getting harder. For Darius he's always been the good little solider, following orders to a t. Now Sophie is in danger and his feelings for her will change everything he believes in. He knows Con is hiding a lot and has done things that could destroy a lot if the truth comes out, but following him blindly now when Sophie is in danger isn't something he can do.
Sophie knows that the danger is real, and learning what Darius really is is a shock beyond compare. However she handles it extremely well. She wants to help, but doesn't realize that being a human, she's out of her league and there is a reason for everything being done the way it's suppose to be. Of course she learns that to late and when Darius gives her what she wants will she be happy?

One thing that I can say with certainty is that I loved this book! This book was packed with action, romance, passion, suspense, basically everything you could ever wish for! I am soooo happy that I received all 4 parts of this book at once because I found myself at the end of each book and kept trying to turn the page for more.
Overall great book probably my favorite in the whole Dark King series. This book is being sold in 4 parts for 1.99 each on Kindle Amazon and also 1 whole book for 7.99 for your reading pleasure.
I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest review
This is the 4th part of the series and things pick up just where part 3 left off. Rhi is acting weird and no one knows where her loyalty lies, Con and Ulrik finally have their show down, Darius and Sophia's relationship is finally put to the biggest test of all time. Can Con beat Ulrik, can Darius keep Sophia safe, will Rhi betray them all? Read and find out!
Loved it and highly recommend it!

Sophia’s healing heart has caused her to be captured by Ulrik and so the first showdown between the dragons has begun.
I loved this entire book. I read through part 4 as quickly as possible, prolonging sleep until it was done. I was so caught up in all of the stories that were occurring. I am DYING to get the fully story on Rhi and Con. I was happy that Sophia was strong enough to do what Darius wasn’t willing to do, even after finally admitting his feelings. I highly recommend.

Its the final part - mixed feelings with this one, all good though... I don't want the book to end, but need to see what happens!! I have really enjoyed this book and each part instalment has been brilliant building up to this final one, they are great but you wouldn't be able to read just one part of the book on its own - I love the Dragon King characters and looking forward to much more from Donna Grant in the future!

Great book
Me. Grant continues to write exciting short stories. This one is great but I wanted Rhi story to go on. But hopefully it will be in the next story.
