Even as he fights for their future… doesn’t come easy when his kind has nearly hunted her race to extinction. When her sister’s kidnapper launches another violent attack, Star has no choice but to accept Lachlan’s aid. But no matter that he’s stepped up to protect her, she’ll never allow the ancient Scottish dragon into her heart.
They’re bound by the past.
Lachlan lost the woman he was meant to mate millennia ago. Unable to live in a world without her, his pain drove him to hibernation. He never thought he would move on—until Star. He’s well aware the feisty shifter is his new destiny, so if tailing her to New Orleans is what he has to do to be near her, then so be it. When Star is attacked, Lachlan resolves to protect her at all costs. And he won’t have to do it alone. It will take Lachlan, his clansmen, and Star’s misfit band of friends to rain fiery vengeance down upon their enemy if she and her sister are to ever be truly free. Only then can he claim her and discover the shocking truth that lies buried in their past.

I loved this story and getting more of a glimpse into King and I hope Katie gives him an HEA as he definitely deserves one too I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and I’d like to thank the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book voluntarily
Ancient Protector by Katie Reus, published by KR Press, LLC, is book one in her new Ancients Rising Series.

Lachlan is a powerful dragon shifter, milleniums old, and he has seen it all. He suffered great loss and is still mourning. But now Star needs his help. He can’t say no to the beauty at his fingertips.
Ancient Protector is a well written pnr read, fast paced with twists and turns that kept me in suspense from start til the end. I read the whole book, cover to cover, in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. A great read, fantastic storyline and characters – 4,5 stars.
Ancient Protector (Ancients Rising, #1) by Katie Reus …I love Katie’s books and this new series is a real winner… Dragons are a real favorite of mine and this book does not disappoint. There is everything …dragons and all kinds of shifters working together….drama…plenty of hot stuff…some fear, some revenge and some very HEA. I can’t wait for the next book.
I’m so happy that we are back into this world again. This is a spinoff of the Darkness series and I love seeing some of my favorite characters again. Especially the ancient dragon shifters.
Out of all the dragon shifter books I have read, Katie Reus has created my absolute favorite dragons. They are dominant, territorial, and extremely possessive of their mates. Plus, they are so old, they come off a bit quirky in today’s world.
Lachlan’s intensity right from the very beginning had me sold. Especially since all that intensity was aimed at Star. He proved he would do anything for her. That’s exactly what I’m looking for in a hero.
What Star was a mystery for most of the book. I did guess it, but I will admit I doubted my guess a couple of times. That just made it more fun. She was cool character. I don’t normally like Alpha females but she was strong without being in your face about it. Plus she had some cool powers.
I loved it and I want more. I’m glad this is the start of a new series. There are so many characters still to explore in this world.

First in a brand new series from Katie Reus. Awesome story about shifters and humans living together. A second chance for two people who have been apart for thousands of years. Some old friends from other series come to visit. Everyone needs their own dragon mate because I absolutely loved this one. Sexy and suspenseful with some secrets thrown in.
