Skye Druids, Book 2

De: Donna Grant

Narrado por: Ruth Urquhart

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant weaves an intricate tapestry of magic, secrecy, and ultimate desire.

Passion will test the boundaries of life and death.

Bronwyn Stewart knows heartache. Death and danger have haunted her every step, but she's prepared for what's hunting her. Or as prepared as she can be. There's only one outcome—and she's ready for it. But a wickedly handsome Druid from her past returns and refuses to let her face the oncoming battle alone. He stirs something long buried within her. For the first time in years, a spark ignites within her that soon turns into a blaze that can't be extinguished.

Forced to leave his beloved isle years ago to protect his family, Elias MacLean fears he'll never see his home again. But Fate has other ideas. When a mission leads him back to Skye to investigate a rash of Druid murders, he finds another mystery to unravel—that of a gorgeous, reclusive drough. With foes lurking around every corner and an undeniable hunger that grows with every kiss, Elias risks it all for the woman he's fallen for. Together they unleash an all-consuming passion that won't be denied.

Contains mature themes.

Enjoying this series

This second installment did not skimp. I actually liked it better than the first. I have read most of the Dragon Kings but none of the Reapers and although they are referenced I don’t feel you have to have read them all. Plus who can keep up with all the characters? Not me.

Shoulder the Skye

Elias is trying to find out who is killing Druids and clear is name. Bronwyn is hated on Skye because of what she has had to do to survive. The enemies on Skye are adding up, but are they all working together? I love the way Donna Grant ties all her Dark Universe books together. Seeing the Warriors and Balladyn helping the Skye Druids. Since the Reapers books have come to an end, getting to see Balladyn and check in with him is a real treat. I really wanna know what is up with Edie. That is my biggest question from this book.

excellent

very interesting reading,with plenty of hot scenes and interesting plot .I always love this authors books

Another wonderful book

I love it when Donna makes interesting characters out of “historically bad” species. Bronwyn is just such a character, she is Skye Drough. What would push a Sky Druid to become Drough? Though she is no princess, only a Knight can save her—Elias. This section of the Dark Universe is coming into focus with this book, I personally can’t wait for Donna to take us on this ride.

Enjoying the new series

This is the second book in the new Skye Druids series and I am enjoying the new series. Many of the characters are new, but there are several cross-over characters from the Reapers and the Dark World Series. I always love seeing familiar characters and as this is set on the Isle of Skye the location is familiar as well. This is not a stand alone novel, although the relationship between the main characters does wrap up nicely, and will be somewhat confusing if you start here. There is also a continuing mystery that is not concluded so beware of a cliffhanger.

Ruth Urquart does a great job with all of the agents and multiple characters.
