Journey to the elf kingdom! KU read
Definitely gonna buy this book once the gift cards roll in. I'm enjoying the reverse harem love scenes and glad the foursome has its differences. Maybe a spin-off will happen after the next book that delves into the other two kingdoms royal offspring. Just a thought, and gonna keep reading this series.

This is the second book in a series and it really shows. Not much happens in this book and in general, I feel like it’s not as fun and well written as the first entry. The author creates a lot of shock and tension one moment, only to completely dissolve it shortly after. This series could have been a duology instead.

I can not get enough of these dragon brothers. This one had even more mystery and some extremely steamy moments. Dareena is one lucky girl. This book had just as much action and edge of your seat moments. The end of this one had my heart racing and I can’t wait to devour the last book.
Highly recommend!

Dragon’s Blood by Jasmine Walt and May Sage is book two in their Dragon’s Gift Trilogy. In this book, we are reunited with Dareena, Lucyan, Drystan and Alistair. The King has declared that since Dareena will not choose to his satisfaction, that he himself will take her and continue to rule. Chaos has broken out, and all can see that the king’s decent into madness has escalated further than they could have known. Things only go to get worse from there. The Elves have all but decimated the dragon army and now are demanding the Dragon’s Gift: Dareena, in exchange for the soldiers that they are now holding prisoner. Either she is exchanged until a ransom and demands can be drawn up and paid, or the elves will kill all whom they hold including several of the brothers’ sisters. It’s a hard choice, and a heartbreaking one, but Dareena chooses to do what she believes she must for the kingdom. There is danger all around them. The Black Cloaks are inciting unrest in the kingdom of the dragons, and there are rumors that Dareena is an imposter. The dragons seem to be besieged on all sides, but the plot only thickens. Can Dareena and her men survive the new setbacks that they have been handed or will this be the first step to their end?
Dragon’s Blood is the second book in this amazing trilogy, and this book picks up right up right where book one ends. There are tons of surprises in this book, and the hits don’t stop coming for the dragons. All of the characters are growing and developing. The plot continues to thicken and there is revealed a changing in the guard. Power has shifted hands and they are in more trouble than ever. The king has fled, but he didn’t leave empty handed. Dareena is taken by the elves, but she doesn’t go alone. But during her time with the elves, her suspicions concerning her heritage are brought to light in a positive way. We get to see how deep in with the warlocks the elves are, and the truth continues to come to the forefront at each passing moment. While the authors lob quite a bit at us in this installment, it happens at just the right pace and at the perfect times.
For this book, there really isn’t anything that I don’t like about this story. There was a moment of mild irritation with Dareena in one point, but everything happens for a reason. As I said before, the plot continues to thicken with this story, and it will keep you engaged. Danger is on all sides of not just the dragons but the Elves as well. Even inside their own homes, no one is safe and all are targets. There are a couple moments in this story that totally surprised me and that I totally loved as well. I wanted more!
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. In my opinion, this book is better than the first. Once again, THERE ARE SEXUAL SITUATIONS IN THIS BOOK!!! So, if you read the first and enjoyed it and UNDERSTAND that this is a REVERSE HAREM book, then by all means come join the fun. But if you did NOT enjoy the first book because of the sex scenes then please do NOT read this book and DO NOT rate it complaining about the obvious sex. This story is a fantastic fantasy novel that pulls you and leaves you panting for more. Once again, like the first, this book ends on a cliffhanger, so if you complained the first time do not read this book. I have come to anticipate or expect cliffhangers, so it just left me begging for more and to know what happens next. I look forward to reading the next book in this series!

I loved this. The story keeps getting better and better. I'm really looking forward to the third instalment to see how it all gets sorted out!

The story surprises me over and over again. I really like it but the authors use the words f**k, p*ssy and c**k way too often. I would have loved to read those not at all, to be honest. I could overlook a few repetitions but that's just over the top.
Otherwise I like the romance, action and POV chapters. This is my second experience with a reverse harem plot.
