I recklessly dived into reading (listening) Drakon's Prey thinking that every book in the series could be a stand-alone but boy, was I wrong. It became glaringly clear that the book picked off from where Book #1 ended in the very first chapter. I brushed it off and continued on.
Valeriya was very intriguing, if I were in her place, I wouldn't do half the things she did. She was kind and brave yes, but she was way too reckless too. She had no plans and did stuff which Tarrant told her not to do. But in the end it all worked out, so it's okay I guess.
Tarrant on the other hand was a computer geek and seemed pretty gruff. He initially withheld from acting on his insta-lust for Valeriya when he first spots her walking towards his cabin. And as the story proceeds, they start to trust each other after making sure that they both have the same goal. To stop the Knights. There's cameo from Sarah and Darius, the couple from previous book, I believe, as well as Ezra, another brother from their trio.
Although the story was well written, and I do like my dragon-shifter romances, this wasn't for me. I like my dragon romances in different world setting, not contemporary. Hence the reason I gave it 3 stars.

Tarrant and Valeriya are two characters you can't help but love. Tarrant is doing whatever possible to protect his brothers and the life he's so carefully constructed. While Valeriya is trying to get away from the Knights and stop those who are out to destroy the Drakons. What she never expected was to stumble upon a real-life Drakon.
This couple is so very endearing. They are down to earth and logical in their thinking, except when it comes to protecting each other, then all bets are off. Their interactions are intense and sweet at the same time.
A solid 4.5 star story. With a steady flow, this story is full of danger, suspense, betrayal, humor and is very sexy. I was completely invested from beginning to end. I love the dynamics between Tarrant and his brothers the most though. Ezra's and Nic's personalities are worlds apart and I can't wait to read their stories.

I LOVE dragons and can’t get enough. This was a fantastic addition to the series.
Drakon’s Prey has plenty of danger, suspense, and smoking hot romance plus sexy dragon brothers. I loved Tarrant! He was just so amazing and sweet. Valeriya I adored her. She had a horrible childhood, but she found away to distance herself from the family business. I loved that she is an artist and an author. Such a sweet heart, but still strong and loyal. The chemistry between Valeriya and Tarrant was hot and steamy. I loved watching them fall for each other.
As for the Knights, they won’t give up, but neither will the Drakons. War is inevitable and the Knights won’t see them coming.
I’m in love and can’t wait for the next installment. If you are a fan of dragons then I highly recommend this series.
Rated: 4 Stars

A great addition to the Blood of the Drakon series.Drakon's Prey was just as good as Sarah and Darius' story.This one features Darius' brother,Tarrant who is an air drakon.Drakons are half human,half dragon and are the targets of many greedy humans, especially the Kinghts of the Dragons.Katrina is the head of this, and her little sister is Valeriya, a children's book iluustrator, who has never liked her family's involvement in this.
When Valeriya finds info that might save a drakon's life, she is overcome by the need to contact and warn him.So when she approaches the cabin in the woods,she is both disappointed and relieved to not find anyone there.But little does she know that too many people are watching her.
Tarrant doesn't want to trust this woman who has come to the cabin looking for Darius,but there's just something about her.So when something happens he sorta kidnaps her and takes her to his underground lair.But it sure didn't feel like a kidnapping ;)
And as they spend more time together,Tarrant belongs to realise that Valeriya genuinely wants to help them, but bringing her into his life would mean exposing so many things and putting her in danger too.Are they ready for that?
The relationship between Valeriya and Tarrant was well developed but had a slight instalust feel to it.The chemistry between them was well done!Valeriya was really sweet without appearing too Mary Sue-ish.The action had me at the edge of my seat, but at one point I felt like the antagonists could use more character development.Sometimes they feel a little one dimensional.It was so great seeing Sarah ,Darius and others again.I really hope the next one is Ezra's book and he finds a great girl.Maybe someone really kickass ;)

I enjoyed DRAKON'S PREY just as much as I enjoyed DRAKON'S PROMISE. If you didn't read book one, make sure to read it before jumping in, you won't want to miss the backstory.
The Knights are after a Drakon and the sister of their leader has set out to warn him. DRAKON'S PREY starts off right were book one left off. Sarah and Darius are safe with another brother and Tarrant is in his home when a woman starts sniffing around the cabin and eventually ends up moving in.
I absolutely love watching an alpha male get wrapped around a woman's finger, especially when they don't see it while it's happening and don't care when they realize it happened. The connection between Tarrant and Valeriya is pretty much instant, but both of course fight it a little before they fall into bed with each other. Even after jumping into bed they don't trust each other, but feel very protective of the other. It was entertaining watching them try to hold themselves back and frustrating when their lack of communication caused hurt feelings.
Not a whole bunch happened with moving along the Knights of the Dragon storyline, but I didn't much notice with all the hot romance going on. I'm ready to meet another brother and watch him fall in love with his perfect match. I also want to see the Knights go down, so bring on book three!

Good book with a good over riding arc. Like the characters. I wonder if there are plans for more than four books in the series.

I think I like this one better than the first! Tarrant is a suspicious and remote Hero and a tougher egg to crack compared to Darius but it made him that much more yummy! He's also a bit more alpha which was sexy :)

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a good job.
