Publisher's summary

Homicide detective Angela Keen thrives on the city’s rough streets. But when she becomes the prize of all prizes in the dragon-shifter world, due to her “high-energy” status, she gets more than she bargained for. Kidnapped by Lothair of the Razorback clan, Angela barely survives captivity before managing to escape. Hurt and alone with nowhere to hide, she faces certain death when Lothair uses the trace energy she leaves in her wake to hunt her down. But before he can reach her, a mystery dragon-shifter intervenes and saves Angela’s life.

Now a guest of the Nightfury clan, Angela regains her strength as her rescuer, Rikar, the last living frost dragon, gradually breaks down her mistrust. Surrendering to her desire for Rikar, but still uncertain of her feelings, Angela goes against his wishes and agrees to be used as bait to lure Lothair into the open. As the battle commences, the true struggle comes from within: Will Angela return home to the life she loves, or forsake it all to be with Rikar?

Not bad but....

This book was just okay. Not bad mind you, just okay. Tis is the second bookof six in this series. I don't see the logic in dragons not being able to fly during the day. And why are they fighting each other? Nightfuries vs. Razorbacks, with no explanations as to why they are on opposing sides. I like the Nightfury dragons and Rykar was a favorite but I liked the captive Forge much better. The book seemed to be a mix of story lines from other books like Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Feehan's Carpathian Dark series and maybe Tessa Dawn's Blood Genesis series. I will continue the series and hopefully it will get better

Fury of Fun

I know many think this series is a rip-off of the Black Daggar Brotherhood, which I'm completely devoted to, but I'm really starting to like it for what it is. Yes, there are some similarities in the speaking style and the branding of products, but the stories are completely different. There are enough differences to make listening worthwhile. I really like how both characters are quickly drawn together. I really get bored with the typical romance novels that keep the hero or heroine fighting until the end before finally giving in to what they both want. This series focuses more on the external struggles while allowing the couples to quickly accept their need to be together. The bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really good. The author does a great job of connecting you with each character. Overall I highly recommend giving this series a chance and look forward to what the author has in store for all the other Night Fury members.

Interesting and Enjoyable. Worth a listen.

The first book of this series I enjoyed. I thought it was a little different. It takes dragon lore in a different direction. The books are tied to one another. So if you want to find a new series to look forward and will be long running then this the series for you.

It has everything a romance needs. Bad guys, hot guys, naughty parts, fights, tough chicks, bad vs good and so on...

The author gives hints of future or possible books. It addicting so watch out.

I hope you enjoy and agree :0)

Way to graphic for my tastes.

Much to much swearing for my tastes but story content wasn't bad. I won't buy another of these books. Some of you will like it I'm sure, it's just not my speed. The narration was excellent though.

not bad worth listening to

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Any additional comments?

Hot

This is my third time reading and listening to the Dragon Fury series, love hot sexy dragons

Good read but not loving the audio

finding the narrator lacking emotion, in my opinion. Struggled through the first book, but wanted to give it another go. still not keeping my interest in audio. I do recommend reading the series though. Good story, just not the right tempo and emotion to keep my interest in the audio version.

Still similar to BDB and Midnight Breeds

This sequel is a definite upgrade from book 1. I wasn’t sure I was going continue this series and I am glad that I did. Aspects of the series still remind me of Black Dagger Brotherhood & Midnight Breeds, but this second book established it as its own series. The connection between Angela and Rikar was a must stronger match and much better chemistry than Myst and Bastien from Book 1. First, I think I like the Angela better than Myst and I like Rikar better than Bastien.
One of the things I enjoy about this series is that the women are strong and independent. They are quite resourceful.

In Book 1, Angela was kidnapped and raped by Lothaire, but in the beginning of this book she escapes a Razorback stronghold. She is tough. She makes it her mission to help the Nightfury find and try to rescue the other kidnapped females, whom the razorbacks where using for experimental breeding programs (*ahem Midnight Breeds)

My major complaint is that the dialogue tended to get overly cheesy and repetitive. We get it, as a bonded male, you would rather die than hurt YOUR FEMALE. You live for YOUR FEMALE. No one better look or touch YOUR FEMALE etc.

I like what the author is doing with the villain Lothaire. I know he is despicable, and I loathe what he enjoys brutalizing others. But the author created a new side to him, a vulnerable lonely shifter who is just looking to belong to a group. We see that mr. Rat Bastard (as Angela calls him) is loyal, and it seems like he is a bad person who can be rehabilitated. So I wonder if she is setting him up to be redeemed at a later time. If Larissa Ione can rehab Pestilence/Reseph in Rogue Rider (Lords of the Deliverance), then I think anyone can be redeemed. So I will give the author room to work with Lothaire.

I also like what the author is doing with Forge. He is definitely a complex dragon with an agenda of his own. He seems like he is one of the good guys, but he also seems like he would be willing to do anything to get what he wants. Then we have the newest dragon, a rare water Dragon, Mac. He is Angela’s big brother, but it seems like he has been keeping secrets from everyone.

While the writing and plot is a tad subpar to BDB and Midnight Breeds, it is still of the same vein. So if you enjoy those series, you will definitely enjoy this one too. I look forward to reading book 3, Fury of Seduction, which is Mac’s story.

A sexy romantic thrill ride.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Hell yes! I loved the characters and the story line.

What did you like best about this story?

The original story line and characters.

What about Benjamin L. Darcie’s performance did you like?

He did a great good and kept me in the story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Loved it. It made me want more.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next one.

GREAT

This series is about dragons and I must say it was written like JR Ward which is one of my favorite authors so how can I not love this series...
