Wednesday Review – Heart of the Dragon by Gena Showalter

While out wondering the Amazon Jungle looking for her lost brother, Grace Carlyle finds more than she bargained for. After getting robbed by the guide she hired to help her find her way, then getting pummeled with fruit by a vindictive band of monkeys, she stumbles through a portal to a world unlike anything she could ever imagine. Immediately she’s fighting for her life and simultaneously lusting after the sexy sword wielding hunk bent on lopping her head off.

Darius en Kragin is the Guardian of the Mist. For the past three centuries, the shape-shifting warrior has been protecting Atlantis from humans who accidently and purposely find their way through the portal. But there is something about this human that has him pausing in his duties. The longer he keeps her alive, the more danger Atlantis is in and the deeper he falls for her. When she escapes, it isn’t his duties to Atlantis that has him tracking her down.

The Atlantis series is the first set of books that I read by Gena Showalter. This was back in 2006 and since then I’ve become a huge fan of all her stories. Every time a new Gena Showalter book comes out, it is at the top of my “MUST Buy” list. So, you can only imagine my excitement when I was blog hopping last week and saw that there will be a fourth story released in the sexy Atlantis series. Not only that, but the publisher is re-releasing the original books in the series with even sexier covers (you can compare the two for the first book above). Of course, I’m sold. Not only because the fourth book features a fabulous character that appears in all three of the first books, but because I plan on running right out and purchasing the whole set (again, just to get those covers). Heart of the Dragon is definitely at the top of my favorite list, as are the other two books in this series (and I’m sure #4 will be added straight away).

Dragons, Vampires, Nymphs and a whole slew of other characters populated the city of Atlantis and Ms. Showalter’s stories. If you are interested in a red hot sexy read, definitely check out this series. They are AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME books. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed…
