While running for her life through the Amazon jungle, Grace
Carlyle accidently finds herself running through a portal
that leads to another world. She soon discovers that
Atlantis is more than just a myth. Plus, it's inhabited by
shape-shifting dragons. Darius en Kragin is the leader of
this people and the Guardian of this particular portal. His
duty is to kill any traveler who comes through the gate, a
duty that he has never failed at, until he sees Grace. For
some reason he can't bring himself to kill her. Instead, he
imprisons her in his palace. Darius tells himself that it's
only because he needs to find out where Grace got the dragon
necklace that she's wearing. When Grace manages to escape,
Darius goes after her. In the process of getting her back,
he discovers that there is a conspiracy between humans and
vampires to take over Atlantis and steal it's wealth. A
conspiracy which has already claimed the life of Darius's
mentor, leaving control of the other portal in human and
vampire hands. Now Darius has to come to grips with his
feelings for Grace and wrest control of the portal from the
invaders.
Heart of the Dragon is a paranormal romance
lovers dream. It has it all: vampires, shape-shifting
dragons, Atlantis, sexy love scenes, and emotional
intensity. Within the first 3 pages, I cared about Darius
and wanted his happiness. I didn't stop rooting for him
until the it was over. Grace is spunky without being
grating, and was the perfect heroine for Darius. Add to this
a cliffhanger for a future story featuring Atlantis and the
Dragons. Gena Showalter delivers another winner with
Heart of the Dragon!
