Synopsis:
Ruthless dragon king Ladon Ormarr must keep his throne at all costs. And now, with war on the horizon, he’ll need a miracle. Luckily, the fates have dropped Skylar Amon right into his lap.
Except he may have met his match.
The feisty Amon sister has no fear — of him or any other dragon shifter — is brash, doesn’t stick to protocols, and regularly offends his warriors and advisers.
Skylar also has no intention of sticking around. She doesn’t believe in the whole destined mates thing and believes all dragon kings to be dangerous. But if it means taking out the High King who murdered her parents, she’ll put up with Ladon… temporarily.
But the fates have other plans. And when Skylar disappears in the middle of a battle, Ladon will burn down the world to find her.
*I would like to thank Entangled Publishing for a copy of this book in return for an honest review*
” The fire rose from her skin, surrounding her, forming intricate shapes, like flamingo wings, joined to the lines across her skin. The mark of a phoenix.
An astounding second book in a hot, must read paranormal romance series. The Blood King is a steamy, action packed romance story filled with sass, dragon politics, epic battles and bad assery! There is nothing better than a feisty heroine who can handle herself paired with an arrogant and gruff dragon king hero!
I’m not going to lie, I loved this one even more than the first! It has all the things I love in a romance and book overall. It has that hate to love vibe although a little one sided, filled with sexual tension. There are fierce female characters that kick butt and don’t need a hero to save them. It was full of paranormal creatures and of course some real steamy, sexy moments. We jump right into where book 1 left off and it is a wild ride all the way through, filled with action and suspense.
” From a simple physical perspective, mating the man wouldn’t be a hardship.”
If you have read The Rogue King and like it then you will for sure want to pick this one up. It turns the story line up a notch, put more out on the line and gives us an even better romance (at least in my opinion) Skyler is on a mission to save her sisters and take out the dragon who killed her family. She will let nothing get in the way of that even if that means having to get close to a dragon who despises, and better yet a dragon king.
Skyler is highly independent and overall protective of her sisters. She is so feisty, stubborn and will do whatever she wants. Which is a perfect match for an arrogant, grumpy dragon king who just wants to get Brand his rightful throne and protect his clan. Ladon never wanted the power, but he wants whats best for his people. The banter that is sparking between Skyler and Ladon is what I live for!
Owen has such an amazing writing style in my opinion. She puts in just the right amount of romance, actions and world building. It was all layered with suspense as many of the characters ended up in some sticky situations. It was fast paced and had my flying through the pages. I admire the time and detail she puts into the side characters as well. There is such a large cast of characters but I adore them all!
“She had to give it to the bastard- dragons were nothing short of terrifying magnificent.”
Overall this sequel did not let me down and I loved it even more than the first! I am so intrigued by the story and what is going to happen and how Owen is going to tie everything together. The ended was shocking and I need to know what is going on and how the story is going to continue. I feel in love with the hero and heroine, the banter and feisty interactions they shared, but also the lengths they went for each other. It was so great that we get to see more of Brand and Kasia! The dragon politics and how everything works was interesting to see play out. We get to learn more about the dragon clans as well as some other paranormal creatures and I have a feeling we will get even more in the next book. If you are a lover of paranormal creatures, sexy, steamy romance, and some great political intrigue -I think this one is a great one for you! Owen is a fantastic author who writes amazing paranormal romances and I will read anything she publishes.
