Darius is back. Edinburgh thought that it had seen the last of this seductive dragon king, but that was before Darius found something worthwhile. He just can't stay away from the impossibly beautiful Dr. Sophie Martin, even though he knows that a passion this strong could prove detrimental for them both.
Sophie tried to forget her encounter with smoking-hot Darius to no avail. He's in her dreams, tempting her.

But can she trust the notorious dragon shape-shifter? The only thing she knows for sure is that she cannot resist him.
Any additional comments?
I really love this series. Darius is a hot smart mouth King. He knows he doesn't want a mate but can't stop his attraction to the beautiful Dr. Sophie Martin. He has eyes for only her. Dr. Sophie Martin tries but fells at wiping Darius from her mind. The single night they shared is on repeat in her mind.
I can't think of anything I didn't like about this audiobook. The voice as always makes you feel like your right in Scotland. The plot is getting thicker and thicker. I guess they one thing I do want like everyone else is Who is Rhys's Dragon! Boy I beat that book is going to blow everything out the water.

Another great addition to the Dark King Series. "Smothering Hunger" picks up right where the previous book, "Soul Scorched" left off. I'm going to take a minute to say that technically, you can read these books on their own, however, personally, I believe, you will get significantly better understanding of the larger picture of what is transpiring if you read the entire series. This being said, if you started reading the series here with SMOLDERING HUNGER, you will want to go back anyways to rad the previous stories.
Donna, the author, continues to entice the readers with each page. The heroine, Sophie, is independant, smart and knows what she wants. While she has suffered in the past, she is ready to move forward. The hero, Darius is happy killing the Dark Fae yet is memorized by Sophie and while the physical attraction is evident, he can't help wonder if there might be more...
Oh Rhi!!! This is another example of where Donna's writing skills excel... Rhi, while technically a secondary character, has develop a following which adores the character and can't wait to learn who her Dragon King is! SERIOUSLY Donna! You're messing with our EMOTIONS!!!
The Reapers make more of an appearance in this installment and OMG, talk about the potential for a twist swirl Donna has caused! That's all I'm saying!!
All and all ... the main arc of defeating the Dark Fae and Ulrik continues. It's now a matter of when and how.
Narrator: Antony Ferguson continues to do a great job with the series, though there are a few mispronunciation with the character's name. Also, the way he does the females' voices sometimes comes across a bit nasally.
Only a few more books left in the series....
