The Blood King by Abigail Owen

The Blood King (Inferno Rising, #2)

by Abigail Owen

The burn of desire begins and ends in dragon fire.

Ruthless dragon king Ladon Ormarr must keep his throne—and his people—safe from the cruel High King at all costs. With war on the horizon, he’ll need a miracle to protect his clan. Luckily, the fates have dropped the irresistible Skylar Amon right into his lap.

Or so he thought. Because the last thing this phoenix wants is him.

A phoenix mate is the ticket to securing his throne, but this fiery Amon sister detests Ladon, doesn’t stick to protocols, and regularly offends his warriors and advisers.

Skylar also has no intention of sticking around, nor does she believe in the whole destined-mates thing. But if it means taking out the High King who murdered her parents, she’ll put up with the too-sexy-for-her-sanity Ladon…temporarily.

Their mating bond may make them want to tear off their clothes, but outside the bedroom…well, Ladon is positive the fates hate him. Just as he starts to win over the mercurial phoenix, everything goes to hell when the High King makes his final move. And Ladon will burn down the world to keep the mate he is unwilling to live without.

This series just keeps getting better and better,yes I know it's only book 2 in this series! But I pretty much devoured this book in one sitting. One of my favorite aspects of the series is learning more about the sisters and I was elated that we got to see a bit more of them in this one. However, those are just little teasers of what's to come with their books and I'm going to be so impatient until I can get my hands on their books.

Not going to lie, I was a little nervous about Skylar because I was wondering how Ladon was going to win her over. But despite the crazy circumstances, it worked out perfectly for them. I know when it comes to shifters they can recognize their mates, but I liked that they still needed time for their relationship to grow. And Ladon was definitely giving her the time. Seriously loved these two together.
