Dragon King (The Bride Hunt Book 3)

by Charlene Hartnady

About this book

Blaze, the formidable Fire King, rules over all four dragon kingdoms with a heart hardened by past tragedy. Having loved and lost before, he has sworn off emotional attachments, especially to humans. However, his royal duty leaves him no choice. With the dragon females unable to bear children, the survival of his bloodline rests on his ability to secure an heir. He decides to initiate a bride hunt, viewing the process as a cold, calculated business transaction. Love is strictly off the table, and he intends to keep it that way.

This sizzling paranormal romance plunges readers into a world where power, duty, and primal desire collide. As the ultimate alpha, Blaze represents the pinnacle of dragon royalty, but he is about to discover that human hearts are far more resilient—and dangerous—than he anticipated. When the hunt begins, the walls he has built around his soul start to crumble under the weight of an undeniable, scorching connection.

Fans of the series will be thrilled by the return of familiar faces, including cameos from the Vampire Kings, as this installment delivers the high-stakes passion and intense world-building the genre is known for. Prepare for a tale where lust, lies, and longing ignite a fire that threatens to consume everything the King thought he knew about his cold, solitary life.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one after the disappointment of Water Dragon

Hallelujah!! Love, love, loved it!! I wasn't so sure I wanted to continue this series after the way Water Dragon turned out and all the hoops Candy made Torrent go through, but I'm glad I stuck with it because this book was worth it. The other positive reviews also gave me the courage to purchase this book and boy, am I glad I did!! This is definitely a keeper and one I'll be reading again in the future. It has a take charge heroine and a stubborn male shifter that finally gets his head out of...

Blaze is the King of four dragon kingdoms and he needs an heir. Since the females are barren, he knows he'll have to mate a human - but only as a business deal! He's been badly hurt before and NO WAY will he go thru that again. Roxy has applied to mate a nonhuman, but she believes she's applying to the Vampire Program as a potential bride. WOW, how everything can turn of its ear! Ro you believes in love and won't settle for less. Wouldn't you know, she's claimed by a non-romantic dragon - now...

Smoking Hot! Believable Characters!

FINALLY! Blaze, Fire King, gets his story! In this book, Dragon King, a second Bride Hunt begins with properly recruited females. We get a cameo appearance of Zane & Brandt, the Vampire kings from Hartnady’s other series (The Program). Roxy is looking for love, family and commitment. Blaze is looking for family and commitment, but forget love! He’s doing this for heirs, for the royal lineage of the Fire Dragons. Excellent story. I especially love this couple- it takes a strong woman to put up...

Another great book.

I didn’t read book 2 just because of the reviews. I didn’t see that I missed anything. It is another easy fun read. Somewhat predictable but still a good quick entertaining time. ) One person found this helpful

Ok, this third book was AMAZING!!! I was very disappointed in the second book in this series and almost didn't take a chance with this one, but I am glad I did!!!! It was as good, if not better, than the first one! I couldn't put it down. It was full of adventure and passion! Blaze was a bit of a jerk (sexy jerk though) throughout most of it, but Roxy's character made up for that. She kept the story full of life and hope. The ending does leave you hooked and wanting to read the next book to...
