The moment Aithne’s mother told her that her sister had been captured by the infamous Vampire, King Lazzaro—she should have known it was a trap. In order to get her sister back, she is given one simple, but dangerous task. She has to capture a dragon-shifter and bring him back to the King. It should be easy, a simple exchange—her sister’s life for that of a dragon. Nothing is ever what it seems … it seems and soon she finds herself drawn to the very people that she may be forced to betray.
As King of the Dragons, Viktor’s one true goal is to keep his people safe. His old friend Chase has become the first dragon-shifter in centuries to find his mate. His people are finally starting to have hope that balance can be restored with the newfound Earth witch sisters. Keeping them close, he finds himself intrigued when they begin a friendship with a beautiful and mysterious new redhead.

ONE THRILLING ADVENTURE!!!
Holy Crap! Talk about flying blind. This is one action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, page turning thrill ride that holds your attention from start to finish. This little jewel brings all of your emotions into play with a whirlwind of events that makes you stand up and take notice. Filled with all the drama, uncertainty, danger and suspense that rock this bad boy to the core. Leilani packs a punch with this raging storyline and explosive plot that brings this bad boy alive spectacularly. The characters are complex, believable and so realistic with depth and individual traits it really brings this treasure together flawlessly. The scenes are so vividly detailed it gives the illusion you’re right there in middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Leilani, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
This story follows loosely with book one, but features new characters as our key couple. When Aithne’s sister is captured by the Vampire King, her only choice is to infiltrate the Dragon King’s home and kidnap a dragon shifter to rescue her sister. Once she meets the Dragon King it is a war between duty and love. Which will win out? I really enjoyed the story and can’t wait to read more!
The King’s Fire is the second book in the Dragon Ruby series.

This is my first book by Leilani Love. I really enjoyed it. I like the way she developed the characters. I couldn’t put this book down, once I started reading it
This is book two in the The Dragon Ruby series. Aithne’s sister has been kidnapped by Vampire King, Lazzaro, and the only way she can get her sister back is to bring him a dragon shifter in exchange for her. So going undercover, she immerses herself in the Dragon King’s life, and finds herself drawn to him and the family that she’s forced to betray. A fantastic read, I loved it, and I will definitely recommend it to others.

This book was highly entertaining. It kept me turning pages as quickly as I could from beginning to end and I loved every moment. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
The second book in the The Dragon Ruby Series a well written story. This is Viktor, the Dragon King and Aithne, an assassin’s story that drew me in from the first page and did not let go until I had finished reading.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. The King’s Fire by Leilani Love is the second book in The Dragon Ruby series. I read this book as a drop-in (I did not read the first book, YET!) and must say that I wasn’t lost at all. There is an underlying plot and I do therefore recommend reading the series in order to get the max enjoyment of the storyline. This book focused on Viktor and Aithne’s story. I really enjoyed this read because it was multidimensional. There was action, deception, betrayal, redemption, love and steamy love scenes (so Mature Readers Only Please!). And did I mention dragons, cause who doesn’t love a sexy dragon shifter!?! There is a building tension that belies the sweet romance and craziness that is household Viktor. A quick read that will have you fanning yourself and wanting more.

We have some stress areas between our characters in this book. Aithne’s sister has been kidnapped by the Vampire king. Lazzaro wants her to kidnapper Chase a dragon shifter who has mated to one of the Grey sisters. Viktor is confused by his feelings for this girl. Can she betray these people to get her sister back? What are these feelings she is having for the Dragon King? Will she get her sister back? Will Viktor spare her?

I have read all of the other Dragon Ruby series books but somehow missed this one. Now I get the chance to read and review a new uodated version of this book and I am ecstatic!
Aithne’s sister is being held by the Vampire King and the only way he is willing to release her is if Aithne agrees to kidnap a dragon shifter named Chase. She has been an assassin for a couple hundred years and figures that she can get the job done quickly. But when she meets Violca and her other sisters and gets to know them she starts having regrets. She also knows that she must do everything she can to save her sister.
When she meets Viktor, the Dragon King, she tries to stay neutral but feelings start to get in the way.
How can she save her sister, stay true to herself and not feel regret at what needs to be done?
I liked this story a lot and will recommend it to others.

This is book two in the Dragon Ruby Series. Viola, her mate and dragon shifter, Chase have moved in with Victor, King of the Dragons for protection. With her are her four sisters and they are all witches with an additional paranormal attribute. This book features Victor and previously an assassin, Aithne. Excellent story with extremely well developed and vividly portrayed characters. Excellent read!

Aithne once again was stuck rescuing her sister, Ally, who had been captured by the Vampire King Lazzaro. Her sisters were always chasing after handsome and wealthy men, always getting themselves into trouble, leaving her to clean up after her sisters’ messes. Watching the two guards, she saw a tall man approach and give them orders. Although the guards had been human, this man was something more, supernatural. When he and one guard walked away, she waited for her opportunity to sneak up on the remaining guard. She wanted to rescue her sister without having to kill anyone. She held a knife to the man’s ribs and forced him to open the door; she also made him reveal where her sister was being held. Then she knocked him out, tied and gagged him, and hid him. Inside, she knew something was off – this was too easy and there were no guards.
At an upstairs room, she saw two vampire guards. She made a tiny noise to draw one away and had to use a poison knife on him to take him down. The second guard moved toward her and she threw two more rapidly, knowing he would evade the first one. He was suddenly in front of her, fangs descending, when the poison took him down. Opening the bedroom door, she saw Lazzaro walk toward her – obviously waiting for her arrival! He told her he needed a favor from her and he would release her sister unharmed.
With the death of her parents, Violca had been raising her 4 sisters. The girls were Earth witches with unique magical powers. But they either hadn’t come into those powers yet, or their mother had long ago cast a spell to hide the powers while the girls were still vulnerable. Viktor watched two of the girls play from his office window. Dragon King Viktor’s brother, Dmitri, was determined to use the sisters to unlock the power of the Dragon Ruby that hid powers that had been taken from them. It caused a rift between the brothers and Dmitri went out on his own. In the meantime, Viktor searched for his warlock friend, David, who could teach the new witches how to use their powers. Violca looked at the picture he showed her and thought she had seen him before somewhere.
Aithne researches the dragon Lazzaro wants her to kidnap. She decides she must get close to King Viktor’s family in order to get near the victim. When he sees the Earth witch sisters begin a friendship with a beautiful and mysterious redhead, he is drawn to her. Will Aithne be likewise attracted to Viktor? How will this interfere with her kidnapping assignment to free her sister? What lies ahead for them?
I absolutely loved this book of shifters and witches. It has an amazing plot, suspenseful and intriguing from beginning to end, a continuation of the previous book in the series! The twists and turns keep the reader fully involved. The story has elements of drama, mystery, and romance to move it steadily forward. The characters were strong and likable. Secondary characters are perfectly placed in the story line and add to its development, and I believe they will have a significant role in future books. I am thoroughly enjoying this well-written series.
A very good book. I loved these characters they were both head strong but completed each other well. A women trying to save her sister. A king who is trying to protect his people from evil. They are both drawn to each other but are at odds with one another.

OUTSTANDING fiction! Romance, complexity and full of compelling characters and a MUST-READ plot!
I have fallen hopelessly in love with the with Leilani Love’s DRAGON RUBY series! First, I fell in love with the characters of VIOLCA’S DRAGON and then fell deeply, hopelessly in love with them again in “THE KING’S FIRE,” the second novel in this series. Love’s descriptive and enticing prose continues to tell the intriguing story of the Grey sisters, orphaned but not alone, as they continue to understand and advance the supernatural abilities they have been given while trying to stay safe from those who would harm them to use their abilities. In “THE KING’S FIRE,” Love intertwines the sensuous love story developing between Aithne, an assassin who has been blackmailed into kidnapping Violca’s mate, and Viktor the king of the Dragons who has sworn to protect Violca and her sisters with the intrigue of outside threats, the love and stresses of family, and the growing need of the Dragon shifters to be assured of a future. The plot is both compelling and complex, marrying realistic contemporary characters with paranormal abilities in such a way that makes the fantasy seem at once normal and tangible. The beautiful world author Love has brought into being with her prose is not to be missed! I voluntarily read an advanced copy of “THE KING’S FIRE” and this is my honest voluntary 5+STAR review. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase your copy of “THE KING’S FIRE” today! Happy pages!
This story is so good and the characters and the back stories keep you enthralled. I suggest you get a snack, find a comfy spot which I agree with the other reviews that way you will be comfortable because you won’t be able to put it down. What a beautiful story.
