Fire🔥🐉
Absolutely loved this third book in the Beast Kings series by Charlene. As we know at the end of the previous book, the wizard takes off with the Eye. Thor freaks out as this artifact belongs to his estranged brother and now that he cannot return the item to its rightful owner, he’s worried about his brother going after his crown😢 However, the Eye can do something that not everyone is aware of and puts their supernatural community at risk should this be discovered.
Jade is an aspiring author and walks dogs to help pay her bills🐶 When she is out walking them one day, she feels fire and finds herself waking up in the hospital. It’s not long before a grumpy, arrogant male finds her and gives her the news of what actually happened to her😳
A fantastic story that I really enjoyed and I can’t wait to see what happens when Rogue goes on “vacation”❣️I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review❤️

Well now I know why this book was a DNF for me before I absolutely despise Jade…she is schizophrenic at best….only bennie the author stepped out of her reused story outline, but still Jade was nothing special actually a poster child for staying single and dying than being with her. And total lame ending…think author got fed up with her own character…just wanted to end this tragedy

I absolutely loved this story, I could kinda see where it was going at one point and it still broke my heart (in the best ways)! I love the way these stories get to a point where you just can’t fathom how we can ever get a happy ending but my goodness they always deliver!!!
Also I think I may be a little bit in love with Daegal, I’m hopeful of getting a story for him too.
Can’t wait for the next in the series.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review

Fire is the third fantastic book in The Beast King Brides series.
I am loving this series; it is full of drama, it is sexy, it is fun and it is full of paranormal romantic goodness. They are Kings, alpha males in all shapes and sizes with Vampires, Shifters, Elves and more. It is sexy, sizzling, smoking Hot, it jumps right off the pages and leaves you needing more.
They are looking for their mates what they find are sassy, headstrong females but not everything goes to plan. These men are ruthless power players but underneath it all are men who love fast, they love with their whole heart.
Charlene has woven a captivating, tangled web of lies, suspense, drama and love. The characters are to die for, and each have their own voice in this series. I love that we get their POV because it makes them more real.
There are plenty of witty moments and humour that will have you laughing out loud.

almost a DNR
A solid only 2 stars. This was almost a DNR for me! The first 1/2 of the book, I just found the MC's super annoying and they lacked any real connection. I didn't really like either of them and I found them both to be rather gross/vulgar.
I read some reviews and it seems many people liked this book quite a bit, so I feel like a minority in this rating.
So I stuck it out.
It got a little bit better and the ending was decent but also like WHY?
Overall, meh. Not so great.

Wonderful read, great characters and wonderful scenario enjoyable story…..
This was a wonderful addition to the series I loved every moment of the read and am sure that other will find it just as impossible as me to put down. This was the third book in the series and I have to say that I loved the interaction between the fated mates it is just so rough and ready at times.
I do not want to say too much about this story as I hate spoilers especially when it effects other readers enjoyment. I guarantee that you will enjoy this book as much as the prior books in the series.
I look forward to future books in this series.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

This is the third book in the Beast King Brides series and it is absolutely fantastic! A dog walker who wants to be a romance author really has her world turned upside down! Jade is awesome! I love her independence and her humor! Absolutely love how she teases Thor! Thor is all alpha and I love how he reacts to Jade! Their banter is so hilarious! So perfect for each other! The storyline was amazing! Quite pleasantly surprised at the relationship between the brothers! This was a very well written story and I love all the characters! The Kings really make things interesting! Such a fantastic series and I highly recommend reading! Can’t wait for Rogue’s story! I am voluntarily leaving an honest review for this complimentary copy of this book

This is the third book in the series & carries straight on after Tassos took the Eye that he used to save the day in Ruin.
Thor had been put in the position of guarantor for its return to his estranged brother & now that it was gone he would be called to pay the penalty unless he could retrieve & return it.
Thor sets off to track it & Tassos down & crosses paths with a dog walking, wannabe romance writer which he just doesn’t need at this point in his life.
Jade has encountered a stranger that left her unconscious & with a headache she just can’t shake.
She then meets another stranger who thinks he knows what is wrong with her!
I’m not giving any spoilers but this book wrung me out emotionally as I wasn’t sure how it could all work out.
This is a wonderful book but you really need to have read the first two to get the full storyline perspective.
There is one more in the series but I’m hoping there might be more.
I was fortunate enough to have an ARC of this book but the five easy stars are entirely my own.

I liked the story very much but the overall series is a bit meh
I liked the story, the characters, the romance, the angst, the steam ...all of it.
The thing which I am not liking in this series is the name itself. Beast ' Kings' does not fit when the supes are basically ruled by the council. Beast lords would be more apt here. The council makes all the rules, the kings have to abide by them or they are stripped of their title. So basically the kings are powerless heads. Doesn't sound like a king unless you count the British king situation. That's basically similar.
I mean what's the point of reading fantasy....if I keep getting reality checks lol.

Oh this is good and fun!
Ok this 3 book is the winner by so far. It was really fun and funny. The characters and the humor was really good and I had a good time with this book.
The spice is there 🌶️ (and the buld up) and it just goes with the flow. Very well-written scenes.
Oh the lovestory in this ❤️ is so good and melts my heart a little bit.
What I love about this saga is that it has everything supernatural in it and not too much! Its balanced very well and because its well-written, it is very easy to read (examp. if your native language is not English).
Loved it and up for the book 4.

Jade is a writer and to make ends meet she walks dogs. On day while walking the dogs some guy approaches her and things go strange from there. Some guy shows up at her door and tells her she has been changed into a dragon she thinks he’s nuts but soon she can’t ignore what happening to her. Thor has to get this human away from the city so he can help her through the change all while trying to find the stone to change her back. And ignore the attraction between them. So enjoy another good read!!

Hot funny and amazing and did I say hot.
This new series keeps on getting better and better. This author can keep surprising you and hooked in series that you can't let go. You just are begging to get more and fast because you want to know! What happens next. It all flows so good into each other. Not many authors can do that and write as fast as this one does. I am crazy about this series.

This is such a great book. Opposites definitely attract. Thor is serious, brooding and a rule follower. Jade talks, a lot, speaks her mind and isn't afraid of the big broody dragon shifter. It is against dragon law for dragon shifters to be involved with a human. Can Thor resist Jade? Will Jade fall for Thor knowing they can't be together? This book has lots of angst, humor and steamy scenes. Can't wait for the next book!

LOVED!!!!
I absolutely loved Thor and Jade’s story!!! They were fire and ice at times, but they really balanced each other out perfectly!! What are the Beast Kings going to do without Thor though??!! I can’t wait for Rogue’s book next! It’s going to be good to see him let go of some of his rage and temper! I loved this book and love this series and world!!! It’s another great shifter/ paranormal romance by Charlene Hartnady!

Charlene Hartnady brings us a story full of banter and sexual tension! I absolutely loved Jade! I could see a bit of myself in her! Being able to connect with the characters is what makes Charlene's stories so fun to read! Thor is a stick in the mud that initially can't stand Jade...they are forced into constant proximity with each other and the tension and heat starts to build. Will the fire brewing between them combust.

It’s a sweet romantic story for Thor and Jade
This is book three of this series. Each book is about a different King trying to find a mate. Thor is the King and from the last book trying to find a missing Dragon stone that belongs to his twin brother. Along the way Thor is destined to help Jade Williams, who is a dog walker by profession. They have such good banter and it makes the story better. It’s a nice and easy read with low angst. Read On!

Best yet
So much better than book 1. I almost didn’t read this one because book 2 sounded like this would just be chasing after an annoying wizard which didn’t sound entertaining at all, but that’s not what this story was about. This was full of relationship and sass. The misunderstandings were intentional from a third party and not preventable. Much different and improved from what book 1 was like. This is the Charlene Hartnady quality I’m used to reading.

The Beast King Brides book 3. A good read. Plenty of great moments but some not so eh moments as well. 4 stars cause it's delightfully written. The Dragon King meets his match in an unsuspecting human turned dragon. Thor and Jade set out on a crazy journey to rectify a serious issue. Love the banter between the two. Lots of twists, drama, angst and smexiness. Better than book 2 but not as great as book 1.

Let It Burn…🔥
So far, I’m loving this series. This is Thor’s (No, not THAT Thor!) & Jade Williams’s story. He’s the dragon king beast master. She’s a dog walker cum independent romance novel writer. They meet in the most unique sitch imaginable & it’s ALL uphill after that! I adore the other characters. They have such witty banter. The love scenes are muy caliente! Very hot! As are the men! Highly recommend!

Thor
I liked thor in the other Book he saw more than most and was really kind to the far kings lady fallon. This was so Heart sad and I did wonder how they would get a HEA so was interesting to see how it played out. In truth she was dragon when he had sex with her. He hasn't done anything wrong so it kissed me off a little the ending.

A lore twist
Great story with great characters. Who knew changing someone to a dragon would have so many consequences for a king. The sabotaging brother actually was trying to be helpful. Things seem to never work out how you expect at times. In the end love from family helps to find the answer the king needs to live the life he wants. Cannot wait for the next book.

Thor and Jade was a must read! I love the playful banter and how Thor is a stickler for the rules but can’t seem to maintain any when it comes to Jade. I love the twist at the end and how the story didn’t follow and of the usual plots. I enjoyed this one a lot.

So far, they are good reads. Some parts are hard to put down. I love how the characters are not whiny or dramatic or annoying. They know what they need to do and although they are conflicted or don’t want to do it they know they need to. I love how strong the heroine was in this story. Overall I totally recommend this series. Really good

great book!!! great series!
Love the book the characters and the mix of the supernatural beings.
The reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the last chapter’s weren’t as good as the rest of the book but don’t worry- it’s a HEA book.

I really love this author. I’ve read all her books. Although I am pretty bummed that this is the last one and I have to wait so long for the next book. Sighs. It’s just as well, I didn’t get any work done this weekend because my head has been stuck in a book

I swear the beast kings are worse than a room full of old ladies. I knew the test had to be wrong when Thor tested Jade. She was more than compatible with him and their chemistry was off the chains.
