He thought he lost her decades ago.

Half-demon, half-dragon shifter Ian McCabe is hell-bent on getting back the only woman he's ever loved. When Fiona O'Riley kicked him out of her life decades ago, he thought she was gone for good. Now that she's back, nothing will stop him from claiming her. But she wants nothing to do with him - or his family.

She'll do anything to save him.

Best Dragon shifter series ever

I love this series, I love the writing, the plot and I love the narrator Jeffrey Kafer. His voice is just perfect for this series.
In this book six, we follow Ian McCabe, whom was first introduced in Hunted by Darkess and again in Into the Darkness as one of Bo and Rory’s siblings (Book 4&5 heroes). Ian has always been ashamed of his heritage as half demon and half dragon. The demon side has been the cause of scorn but most painful loss was his mate Fiona O’Riley who married another to save him over fifty years ago.

A chance meeting revealed that she did not in fact marry another but lives within the Stavros’ wolf territory. Now he has to convince her that they finally belong together.
I love second chance romance tropes. They often allow the author to properly develop character’s past. The reader has a chance to get to know the main characters and properly empathize with their plight. Ian and Fiona didn’t disappoint. They were young lovers fighting against family obligation and expectation.
As with the prior books, Saved by Darkness was full of action and romance. In addition, there were humorous banter between Ian and his brothers. In fact, the reader met yet another half demon brother. I love how the author continues to link each story together by maintaining contact with the previous couples. The stories are not overly long and my attention is continually engaged.

I am a big fan of Jeffrey Kafer and the superb job he has done narrating this series. He has never caused me to be confused. He gives life to each character and I am able to follow very easily. I really recommend listening to this series in order so you can appreciate the journey each story undertook to get to this point. I love this series and I can’t wait until the next story.
If you love action packed, super sexy with really captivating characters, this is the series for you.

Great Book!

Duel Of The Dragons

Ian McCabe is a powerful half-demon, half-dragon. He has endured pain and rejection and shouldered on. He loved Fiona O'Riley with every fiber of his being and then she left. After all these years, he still loves her and mourns her loss. Suddenly he sees her again and their attraction is reignited. Can the overcome the past and be together forever? Fiona and Ian are compelling characters. These dragon shifters caught my interest and pulled me into their story. I loved their power and their passion. They are fierce and protective. When both humans and supernaturals are threatened, these two along with Finn and his Stavros pack go to the Hell realm to fight an unknown enemy. Will they be successful? The odds aren't in their favor as the suspense and danger increase. I couldn't put the book down until I got answers. Hell is dark and deadly and added to my feeling of dread. As did the narration of Jeffrey Kafer. He made the characters come to life with his vivid portrayal. This is a worthy addition to the Darkness Series. I enjoyed catching up with familiar characters from previous books. Katie Reus is an excellent author. I enjoy her stories and can't wait to see what happens next.

AWESOME. DRAGON SHIFTERS ARE WONDERFUL.

Most enjoyable. The romance between Ian and Fiona are beautiful. Loving each other they were prepared to fight for their right to love. Very good. Well over formed by Jeffrey Kafer. Good continuation of the series.

Awesome Addition to Series!

Saved by Darkness. (Darkness Series – Book 6) by Katie Reus. This is an excellent paranormal series. It has anything a paranormal romantic suspense reader could want – shifters, vampires, demons, demi-gods – you name it you can probably read about it in this world. I would recommend reading the other books in this series first – you will get a better understanding of the characters, secondary characters and their interactions. Ian McCabe – half dragon/half demon has loved Fiona O’Reilly for decades. He is determined to win her back and to discover the reason she rejected him so many years ago. Fiona, willing to sacrifice her love to keep Ian safe does what she has to do. However, as an enemy emerges and Ian and Fiona work together to save humans from destruction will this be their new beginning or the beginning of the end for them? Ms. Reus does a great job with the characters in this book. I could revisit the Darkness World that she has created over and over. I look forward to more books in this series.

As usual Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job! He brings the characters to life and his narration of the book is superb. He seems to have an understanding of the book and the characters and that shows in his telling of the story. I listened in the car on a road trip and it made the time fly by.

This series is awesome!!!

The author does a fantastic job of intertwining all the books to make this series interesting and intriguing. The character development is fantastic. I love when new characters are introduced.

As always, Jeffrey Kafer does an impeccable job narrating. His ability to portray females voices is top notch!

'A-' rating...

My Review:
Overall: 4.25
Performance: 4.5
Story: 4.25

Even dragon shifters need a second chance at love. (Sorry, I just had to.) But seriously, this is a good book just because I am such a sucker for a good second chance at love. Fifty years ago, Fiona and Ian were involved, but her family would never accept a mating between them so she sacrificed herself so he could move on with his life, never expecting to see him again.

So, it's a shock to both of them when they find one another living in the same area of the country...in the area of Finn's wolf pack area. While they knew that they missed the other, neither one realized the depth of those feelings that have never let go. And suddenly they are joining together to head into the hell realm. (Yeah, this series is NEVER lacking for action.)

And they aren't alone...all the characters from the other books show up in this one, too...along with another new half-demon brother (yes, please!)

This is a fun series. It's seriously action packed and while the books aren't super-long, they pack a good level of emotion. I'm really enjoying listening to them all on audio. But don't worry...you can easily pick and choose which ones to read if you don't want to tackle the whole series. The author has done an amazing job of explaining the world good enough in every book that you'll never be confused whether you're reading book #1 or #6.
