“Touched by Flames” is the latest fan-freaking-tastic must read that had me hooked me from the get-go! I was so blown away that I was glued to my seat not wanting to stop whenever my real life got in the way 😮 lol … I am always amazed at how Ms. Day comes up with each fresh new, PNR story-line, and thrilled with the recurring relatable characters, plus new ones and the ever present witty dialogue! Add in her fantastic attention-to-detail and descriptions with twists & turns that will keep readers engaged and turning pages like crazy! Oh and make sure to wear gloves for some smoking hot romance 😉 Even tho I volunteered to read this book it was without any outside influences. I also buy many of her kindle books whenever I can. So yes, these are my honest feelings & I highly recommend this book & series to adult (18+) fans of fiction! …I can’t wait for more, but I definitely will 🙂

When dark returns to light
I truly enjoyed this addition to the series! It is the perfect mix of dark and light and finding joy and your new path after great adversity. These two have to go through so much to find their HEA, but they manage it with grace and love. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Touched by flames had me longing for more. I devoured this book very quickly, it had everything I love in a book and so much more. Vella Day continues to blow me away with her amazing writing ability.
This is the final book in the Hidden Realms of Silver Lake series and it tied up all the loose ends
Danita is a white lighter but she has been infected by dark magic and even though she is undergoing treatment no one knows if it will work Griffin knows that she is his mate he also knows that she is trying to deny him to protect him but he isn’t going to allow that he will teach her that she can’t turn him away Do they have a future together you will need to read to see. AS usual this is a great fun read with enough suspense and drama to keep you entertained if I have one criticism it s that the books drags in a few places but not enough to turn you away from it
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book !
Danita is a white lighter infected with dark fey magic.
She is receiving treatment, but she is not sure if she will be cured.

I love a good shifter romance, but this one just seemed to lack the magic it needed to win me over.
This was part of a series, and I have not read any of the previous books, so I’m not sure if that contributed to some of my feelings of “blah” or not.
Our heroine is a “white-lighter” who has been infected/ possessed by dark Fey magic. However, I have no clue what a white-lighter is. It is never fully explained, so I assume it is a type of witch because she is able to cast spells, or slow time. Ehhh… which she started to learn as a child but seems to have perfected once the bad or dark-lighter held her prisoner. Which I am assuming happened in a previous book, but was brought up so much in this one, it could have only been mentioned here and not in a previous story. Not sure… So many times I felt like I was reading part two of our MCs love story.
ANYWAY, our girl, Danita, is in therapy because she is struggling with this darkness. It is making her depressed, causing paranoia, and other issues. While all this is happening her only relative, a cousin is abducted and this tilts her world even more.
Enter sexy Dragon shifter, Griffin. Griffin knows Danita is fated to be his, and his Dragon is totally on board with the idea. He just has to get Danita to see how fate has smiled on them. He is patient, and caring, but he is also an over protective alpha male at times, so there are clashing moments between the two.
There are intimate scenes that are spot on, however outside the bedroom, our MCs lacked true depth and chemistry. I wanted to feel the want, passion, and desire that fated mates typically feel for each other, but it just…wasn’t…there. **sigh…

This book will make you sit up and not put it down. I cannot wait to see where these stories will go. These stories only get better as you go along. The imagery will make you wish that the world was real and that you could talk to the people.

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Wow!!! This story was awesome. Danita is struggling with darkness and is fighting to be good. Griffin is trying to be so understanding, but it’s hard because he needs to claim his mate. Now add into this, shifters being kidnapped & used as slaves, Danita’s cousin, Mandy, missing and you’ve got a fantastic story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Danita and Griffin’s story
Still thoroughly enjoying the Hidden Realms stories. This is Danita and Griffin’s story. Danita has had a hard time coming back from her time in captivity. Griffin is there to support her. As his mate he will protect her always. When her cousin disappears, Danita wants to help find her but she also needs to be free of the darkness inside her. While trying to find her cousin they get involved in a larger plot to ruin the Caspian business and men going missing. Great love story with lots more to keep it interesting.
Touched By Flames: A Hot Paranormal Dragon Shifter Saga by Vella Day is a wonderful story that I have read and fell in love with. This is book number seven in this wonderful series that I have read and really loved reading. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy, suspense and paranormal romance in their stories.

Touched by darkness!
Danita was held prisoner for months by Sanditra and is now constantly fighting the darkness within her. Griffin helps her out when she’s rescued but she keeps him at arm’s length because she’s worried her darkness will infect him and she doesn’t want that!
Griffin knew the moment he helped rescue Danita that she was his mate, but held off on telling her and pressuring her because mentally she wasn’t in a good place and he knew it didn’t matter as he would continue to help her and be supportive no matter how long it took her to recover from her past demons.
Fast forward five months and it appears she is doing slightly better with counselling but now her cousin has gone missing as well and she wants nothing more than to find Wendy and get better
I really enjoyed this story and how it tied up a few questions from a previous book but also some hints as to some new couples….I can’t wait to read Wendy and Logan next but also find out more about Kenton and his family
Sometimes you gotta let your mate be your rock. Griffin, guardian dragon is Danita’s mate & trying to be supportive. Danita is a whitelighter who came under the negative influence of dark magic while searching for her cousin. There is no guarantee she will be cured. Danita doesn’t want to bring Griffin into her negative dark vortex. Griffin’s commitment and support is unconditional. He is in it for the long haul! Danita is searching for her cousin and focused, she doesn’t have time for anything else. This is a tense, dramatic romantic story. Will Danita find her cousin, whole? Can Griffin withstand the push back? Will Danita find her white light? Good adventure/mystery. Excellent descriptions. Griffin and Danita do well together, can they last? Good story. I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.
Heart pounding adventure, sexy irresistible shifter, magic and mystery what more could you ask for? This exciting journey has it all and so much more…. a thrilling read from beginning that will take you on a magical and emotional roller-coaster ride that will leave you breathless.
Danita is trying to find her light after being a prisoner to a witch who was determined to destroy her. Afraid of turning she pushes everyone away but Griffen is determined and he plans to show Danita her light will shine. I love these two characters and the story that continues the saga with snippets of previous characters. The heat is HOT, not just due to the dragon and the love shines through.

Book seven in the Hidden Realms of Silver Lake series a well written book that kept me turning pages. This series just gets better with each new book. There is suspense, drama, danger, evil, twists, turns, villains,shootings, and romance. I hope there is going to be more to come. I will say read these books in order so you have a better idea of what is going on. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is another great book by this author and focuses on Griffin and Danita. Griffin is a Guardian dragon shifter while Danita is a “white lighter” and is trying to find her missing cousin.this is an extremely good story with lots and lots emotion of many types. This is book 7 in the Silver lake series and although previous characters are involved, this can be read as a stand-alone. As always the characters are strong and memorable. Very good read.

Another of the Hidden Realms Series, this book focuses on Danita and Griffin.
Danita, a white lighter had been violated by a dark lighter and believes that she is tainted. Griffin, her mate tries to support her and help her overcome her insecurities while they are trying to find her cousin Wendy and a group of shifters held captive.
A fascinating story, continuing the saga, but at the same time telling the story of two characters we have met before. Putting them into the center in this story feels right, their role in the overall concept of the story is defined more clearly this way.
Enjoyable, entertaining and at times thrilling. – A good blend.

This was a good read but I did feel that it read very slowly sometimes. I liked Danita and Griffin. The romance between these two fated mates was sweet and emotional. Drama, suspense and angst help round out this shifter romance.
