Fury of Desire

Rate this book
Dragonfury series, book 4.


No warrior of the Nightfury pack is more complicated or damaged than Wick.

Scarred from a childhood of slavery and torture, Wick cannot bear the touch of another person. But all bets are off when he meets J.J. Solares. When she is unjustly imprisoned, Wick agrees to help rescue and keep her from harm. But Wick lives a life of self-imposed isolation and venturing into the world to seek justice for J.J. may be more than he can bear.

Brutalized by the harsh reality of prison, J.J thinks she is hallucinating when a majestic dark-haired god sweeps in to save her—and Wick is shaken to his core by the attraction he feels for J.J. But neither is out of harm's way yet. When they find themselves at the center of a Dragonkind war, they are forced to make the ultimate choice—surrender to their fears or accept each other’s love.

Wick!!' Bow chica wow wow!!!
4.5 Stars


I knew coming into this book that Wick is darkened with a past that future relationship was just unimaginable. Frankly, I had no idea how his story will be playing out. He also had a certain bond with Venom, his best bud that I couldn’t quite understand. Their relationship made me question their sexuality. I won’t divulge that little information , but I can tell you that they are very close and Ven is the only one who truly knows him. I was curious on how this author was going to break this tough guy down to actually have him fall for any female.

I am happy to say that Wick’s past was not as dark as I expected. I take that back, his past was dark, but Ms. Callahan didn’t go into specific details , so readers didn’t have to experience any of the sufferings. But she does let her readers know who Wick really is.

Wick is fierce, brave, feared , and he is respected among his comrades. What I didn’t expect is that Wick, the scary dangerous grump that I know was nothing but a sweetheart. After meeting Jamison, he was nothing but mush. It was fascinating that this woman can have such power over Wick. The things Jamison did or say that made Wick smile just melted my heart.

Jamison on the other hand, was quite the opposite. She is this fragile woman who is trying her damnedest to be tough. Her decisions show’s she is quite strong, but no, she is not a kick ass heroine. But that’s okay because Wick is there to take care of her. I think that was the draw, Wick had that need to save her. I really enjoyed their love story.

Ms. Callahan of course didn’t exclude the action and suspense that I have come to expect in this series. The warfare between the Razorbacks and Nightfury continues. Now the Razarbacks are attempting bigger and better ways to destroy humanity along with the Nightfury pack. With that said, you know that there are some battle scenes that are worth reading. There is a bit of build up for Forge which I’m hoping it’s because his book is up next.

Anyone who enjoys PNR reads that has some form of brotherhood or intricate world building such as Kenyon’s Dark Hunters, Thea Harrison’s Elder Races, and even JR Ward’s BDB will sure to enjoy Ms. Callahan’s Dragonfury series.

I wrote a review & GR ate it. Not redoing it. Going bullet points now.

Negative:
- too long
- main characters don't interact until halfway into the book
- zero to 60 on the romance
- every dragon fight is written out move by move.
- vampire rules/lore for the dragons, i.e. no hanging out in sunshine

Positive:
- lots of plot lines
- multiple POVs
- character strife
- lots of characters
- Dragons

I'm done with this series.

Every time I read a book in this series, I complain about the same things: the over the top metaphors, the slang, the lengthy internal monologues about non-sense, the myriad POVs that take away from th main couple, the undeveloped relationships, etc. etc. No matter how I wished the author would actually write her own thing instead of trying to imitate the WARDen, it's clear that she's going for the latter. I guess that's why even the narrator jumped ship.

This is the fourth book in Coreene's sizzling Dragonfury series and deals with the most damaged warrior, Wick. If you haven't read her Dragonfury series, I'd recommend you start with Fury of Fire. The covers are beautiful, and the men are hard and very hot. Now back to Wick: For newbies to the series, Wick had a horrid childhood complete with slavery, torture and despair. He's a man of few words, but something melts when he meets J.J., a woman imprisoned and brutalized by prison life. Once the two meet, neither will be the same.

I love the Dragonfury warriors, and of course the women who wind them up. The bedroom scenes are spicy, and who doesn't like a dominant warrior there for the loving? Readers get to meet the next heroine in the current book, and this is either going to be a pro or con, depending on how you look at it. I enjoy getting some character development in the current book for the next couple, but I would like some new characters that aren't all connected. Fans of action and romance and, of course, dragons should start the series. Wick is one of my favorite warriors and, dang, if the author didn't do him justice.

Wick and JJ were the perfect match! I think they are my favorite couple so far. Wick does have moments of not feeling worthy, which I don't enjoy, but overall I really liked his character. JJ was just as awesome.

For the audiobook, the narrator is the same throughout the series and I think he did a really good job. I would recommend either the kindle or audiobook for this series.

Wick's story is finally here! We knew Wick had a hard life, we knew there was something that made him the way he was.. but ladies be ready because it was nasty. Now don't get all worried, while Coreene Callahan gave Wick a tortured past.. she did not suffer from extreme Kenyonitis.. so we don't have to relive the entire thing. It's enough that we know it was harsh!!

While we don't have to relive the years that Wick was held captured and tortured, forced to fight to survive, he does. And Wick has handled it the best he can. Fortunately he has had Venom by his side for these 60 odd years. Without Venom Wick would never have made it out of the darkness and into the shadows. Never quite healing he has learned that not all powerful men are evil, that there are dragonkind that he can consider his brothers and that there is a chance for him. Sort of. He never expects to be more than in the shadows but that is far better than the hell he came from.


J.J. Solares was convicted of manslaughter for protecting herself from an abusive boyfriend. Now almost five years later she has a chance at parole. A chance lost when a skeevy prison guard, who is obsessed with her sister, has her attacked. JJ.. has no hope of standing before the review board now and who knows when she will get another chance. Add that to the fact that Tanya is still in trouble at least JJ thinks she is. JJ has no idea that Tanya has made some seriously powerful new friends.

When those friends arrive to save JJ, she is introduced to an entire new world and not quite sure what to do. She should be dead from the emergency extract the team had to do and yet somehow here injuries are healing faster than humanly possible..

Wick, poor Wick, goes from the seriously dude, don't touch me type of dragon to sharing energy with his mate. Only he had no clue this was going to happen. While Wick is one tough Dragon, no way would he ever allow a female to be injured so when he had the chance, he offered all of himself. Poor Dragon.. had no clue what hit him, even when he had seen the dominoes fall with Bastian, Ryker and Mac..

While JJ and Wick should be the focal point of this story, they sort of don't. It's like their love story is super imposed over the entire book rather than being front and center. Coreene takes us deeper into the Dragonkind world and the politics that have been running it.

There are all sorts of surprises in store in Fury of Desire and Wick and JJ manage to complete a seriously detailed story!! Coreene took a chance in the way she told this story but she pulled it off *Dons my cheerleader outfit* YAY Coreene (just kidding, seriously me? A Cheerleader? LOL)

If you haven't discovered this series yet, what are you waiting for. It is an intricate dance of love and war, politics and desire, loyalty and betrayal!! And yes a serious cliff hanger or two!! *glares at Coreene* I have serious questions for you...

Wick’s story is finally here! It feels like I haven’t read a Dragonfury book in forever, even though it’s only been a year since the previous one was published. The first three books were published only a few month apart, so prior to this fourth one, I guess I felt lucky to be able to buy and read them so close to one another. After about a year of waiting, we finally get to read Wick’s story and let me tell you, the wait is definitively worth it.

Wick is the sort of character that grows on you because of his mysteriousness and his bad boy attitude. A loner and a guy that doesn’t say much, we didn’t get to know him all that much in the previous books. In FURY OF DESIRE, we finally understand why he’s such a broken character and why he will go to such great lengths to avoid contact with another dragon or human. His past is a dark one and I feel very sympathetic towards him and his sad childhood. Even though it’s to be expected, I’m actually happy that he found a mate of his own to love and to protect him from his past.

Personally, I find J.J. (or Jamison) is a character full of clichés. A girl that was in an abusive relationship, she was forced to take matter into her own hands when her boyfriend threatened to kill her sister, Tania. In jail for killing said boyfriend, she’s then abused by a horrible prison guard and she will do just about anything to be set free. Especially after getting beaten close to death, which lands her in the hospital with life threatening injuries. In comes Wick to save the day. So in my opinion, quite a cliché character and relationship, but still very entertaining. The scenes between Jamison and Wick are delightful, and even if Wick is a character that doesn’t say much, the dialogue between the two is so entertaining.

I love how this series is expanding with each new book. At first, the series concentrated on dragon conflicts within the city of Seattle, but now the war between dragons is going international. Many different background characters now play a role in the battle between “good” dragons and “bad” dragons, some by simply backing it financially while others trying to get involved first hand. The world of dragonkind politics is a complicated one and I think Coreene Callahan has only given us an brief introduction. I anticipate more plot twists and intrigue in future books.

A paranormal romance at heart, like all the other books of the series, FURY OF DESIRE isn’t without a good dose of action. However, it feels like there was a little less romance in this one, compared to the first three, but that made the scenes between Wick and Jamison that much more precious. The romance will leave you desiring more, while the action will keep you on edge. I probably said it before, but I highly recommend this series, if you’re a fan of the genre.

Ca fait un moment que j'avais envie de tester cette série dont j'ai entendu beaucoup de bien. Je n'ai pas lu les tomes précédents p(as eu le temps), mais puisque j'avais celui-là sous la main, et que le résumé était intéressant, j'ai tenté.
Ca peut se lire indépendamment, malgré certains termes qui je pense ont bien été expliqués aux lecteurs dans les tomes précédents. Il n'y en a pas beaucoup non plus, ce qui fait qu'on comprend assez rapidement les tenants et les aboutissants de la trame principale.
Plusieurs problèmes avec cette histoire.
Quand on enlève toute la partie qui ne concerne pas nos héros principaux, il doit rester environ 50 pages (sur 478) qui vont raconter la rencontre et les sentiments entre Wick et J.J. (et je n'ai pas enlevé les scènes hot...). Pour moi, qui préfère largement une histoire centrée sur les personnages principaux, j'ai été frustrée. Leur relation est expliquée par la magie (ils sont amoureux au bout de deux jours), la découverte de l'un et l'autre par la fusion et la connexion mentale qui les lie... En bref, pas beaucoup de vraie discussion pour contenter le lecteur. J'ai quand même bien apprécié les héros, ce qui explique ma note (j'aurais mis moins si ça n'avait pas été le cas)
Les 400 pages restantes vont parler de l'univers mis en place par l'auteur. Et c'est mon deuxième problème, je n'ai pas aimé cet univers. Je n'ai pas aimé la relation entre les différents clans des dragons, je n'ai pas aimé la relation entre les dragons et les humains. Je n'ai pas aimé la direction prise par l'auteur dans ce livre: elle s'éparpille tellement qu'elle oublie de clôturer son histoire sur au moins une intrigue terminée, et laisse trop de questions en suspens. La fin n'est pas vraiment un cliffhanger mais pas loin. Certains savent à quel point je déteste ça.
La fin est aussi ce qui m'a frustrée: il se passe trois jours entre le moment où des questions se posent, et en refermant le livre, l'urgence de la situation n'est toujours pas traitée. A priori le lecteur et l'auteur n'ont pas les mêmes priorités.
Les dragons en eux-mêmes m'ont aussi frustré: ils ont l'air d'avoir une tonne de pouvoir mais je ne les ai pas vu vraiment s'en servir. De plus, à nouveau vers la fin, je n'ai pas compris la réaction de Wick qui laisse passer une très bonne occasion d'en finir avec cette guerre. Je suppose que l'idée de l'auteur était d'avoir d'autres tomes.
La série Dragonfury me semble ne pas être terminée de sitôt. Ce roman ne m'a pas vraiment donnée envie de lire les précédents, et je comptais de toute façon m'arrêter là. Ma décision a été définitivement prise quand j'ai vu le héros de la novella suivante (Ivan, le grand méchant pour qui je ne peux pas avoir d'affinités au vu de toutes les atrocités qu'il commet, désolée pour l'auteur).

I wanted to give this book a 4.5 or 5 sooooo bad but the simple fact that the main couple, Wick & J.J, spent so little time with each other didn't give me enough to even know them as a couple. Even if I suspend belief and give leeway because it's a paranormal and we all know about mates, true love, and all that jazz; it just wasn't enough for me to just fall head first into their automatic love and vows.

Besides from that, this is definitely my favorite of the series. You had the relationship between Wick & Venom (which I liked and wanted more of. I have to say I did wish for M/M for a moment. Hey, I'm human and I was totally getting Butch/V vibes), stuff going on with the razorbacks, Nian, a new surprise character and being inside Wick's head. Fury of Desire definitely kept my interest which is a plus because lately I have been in a little book rut with PNR.

Basically: I need Forge's book ASAP. I need to read about him and his little baby boy's cuteness. Who doesn't like a badass with a baby? Don't forget he's got a brogue too. But please give him a worthy female. Same with Venom.

Will we get the scene when Mac I certainly hope we do.

Quickie thought: I don't like when the badass in question is so head over heels (or tail) instalovey that his badassery is affected and he blows up multiple times and almost But I'm not bias at all... not.

Really liked this book. As I said, it's my favorite of the series so far.

NUMBER OF STARS: 4 1/4
REVIEW:
I love Wick. He is a man of very few words but shows his loyalty with his actions. So when he wants to payback Mac ,his fellow Nightfury, for saving Venom’s life he decided to rescue Tania’s little sister Jamison (aka J.J.). Not everything goes quite according to plan while getting Jamison out of the hospital . And thing get even worse the moment Wick touches her.

This was a great Nightfury story. Wick and Jamison are perfect for each other. Both have a past that allows them to understand the others pain. Wick really does try to do what he thinks is the right thing. He tries to stay away from Jamison, he really wants to let her go because she deserves better. Or what Wick thinks is better. But Jamison has other plans. :)

If you have read the other Nightfury books you will really like Wick’s book. A lot of things happen. And I have a new soft spot for Venom. All I will say is poor Venom, this boy needs some serious love. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the Nightfury’s and I really wish the bad guys would get their just desserts very soon.

In some ways I feel the romance between Wick and J.J. was overshadowed by the overall story arc of Ivar's nefarious plot and Nian's whatever-it-is he has in the pipeline. I would have liked the couple to have more one on one time to develop a connection because suddenly it was like 85% of the book and they were falling into bed. I get the cosmic drive to be together, like fate choosing them as bonded mates, but I also want a couple to choose each other for themselves, if that makes sense. Having said that I enjoyed the book anyway and I will more in the series.

This is so similar to the BDB series too, in LOTS of ways. I don't care, but just sayin'

Is this Dragon Man Enough for his Mate?

ARC provided by publisher for review purposes. No remuneration was exchanged and all opinions expressed herein are my own except as noted. I support Coreene on Facebook and other social media outlets as a member of her "street team."

I have enjoyed Coreene's books in the Dragonfury series, and KNIGHT AWAKENED as well as her Medieval romance WARRIOR'S REVENGE. Except for WARRIOR'S REVENGE each involves dragons! In this book the first thing I noticed was how well Coreene integrates the dragon psyche and the human psyche. Once in a while they are referred to separately but normally each dragon shifter seems to be one being, with the same personality and intelligence in either form.

Coreene also does a great job running one book into the next. The characters that are going to figure from one to the next are present and developed to some degree. J.J., the female love interest in this book is introduced in another book in the series. It becomes obvious that she and Wick are going to be the perfect match. They are both damaged and both blame themselves for the damage. Neither thinks they are worthy although Wick is certainly has more emotional issues. When they hook up is it massively passionate. Wick, especially feels he is not good enough for any woman, much less J.J. He really doesn't even ask whether he is -- for him it's just a foregone conclusion

The story is told in the third person, sometimes looking through J.J.'s POV and sometimes Wicks. It's never confusing because the voice changes and it is very different. Wick is tough, a rough guy who gets off on killing. That was such an unsympathetic feature for a love interest to be given. Coreene is not afraid to give us complex and imperfect heroes. The voice for his narrative is undeniably masculine, occasionally like a boy playing war, occasionally like a lover and always conflicted. Coreene had a ton of male hockey team mates so she speaks "guy" better, probably, than a lot of guys. Especially the competitive guy. But she's also a woman and has that voice down too.

There are a couple of interconnected story lines and I am desperate to see how they play out - in the US or Europe. And, there is at least one HUGE surprise. HUGE! The Numbai, Daimler, has a wonderful time with a new resident (He's one of my favorite characters!). Ivar, the evil scientist, human hating baddie is up to no good, but I think his power may be cracking a little.

I enjoyed the book, it got a little rangy sometimes and I would like to have seen some more loose ends from previous novels resolved, but I know I will be back to find out what happens with our Dragonfury friends! Highly Recommended, but there's a lot of back story and world building already done; best in order.

I have been looking forward to this book since completing the 1st 3 books which I have read repeatedly. I plan to reread this one next month. The Dragonfury group appear to be men, unless they change into their dragon form. Each is different in color and abilities. Wick was abused from an early age as he was forced to fight to the death for the amusement of dragonkind in Europe. After turning dragon, another fledgling dragon helps him to escape and they take up life in America. Bastion, the leader of the Dragonfuries takes them in and they fight with him and others against the evil dragonkind who want world domination and the extinction of the human race. But dragons are only males and must get frequent energy infusions from women. These infusions require skin to skin contact. Many dragons have sex during this time and then wipe the memories of their women.
Ivan leads the evil group in the U.S. He is capturing women who have high energy and through science plans to force female dragon births. His 2nd plan is to create a super bug to then kill off the humans. His financial backing comes from the head of the Archguard (dragon aristocracy in Europe and the leaders there of dragonkind).
3 of the Dragonfuries have taken mates - their dragons recognized the mates. One of those mates is Tania. Her sister JJ is in prison for killing her abusive boyfriend. She is up for early release. Not good. Griggs, a prison guard wants Tania and will do anything to get her. Including setting it up that JJ is nearly murdered by fellow inmates. Now JJ is in the local hospital with Griggs as a guard just waiting for Tania to show up.
Wick sets up a snatch and grap operation to get JJ safely away from the hospital and make sure she never has to go back to jail. With Wick's early life he can't stand to be touched and has a short fuse that sends him into warrior/killer mode. Somehow he ends up carrying JJ out of the hospital and when his fellow dragons offer to take JJ from him he growls at them. Very un-Wick like. He finds himself feeding JJ energy to help her heal faster. Only mates can do this. But Wick knows he is not mate material.
There is so much more that goes on than just Wick and JJ.
2 Dragonfuries were in Europe and Bastien's group learn they are marked for death and they can't reach them.
Ivan releases one of his creations into a small town's water plant.
Is Ivan's new friend XO material, or does he have his own evil agenda?
Lots of fodder for a 5th novel. Hope it comes quickly. I really love this dragon series.

Wick. Sweet, Adorable, Warm and Gushy on the inside and hard on the outside Wick, how do I love thee?

Oh, wait. This isn’t a poem to Wick, it’s a review of a book. I got lost for a minute there!

Fury of Desire is the newest Dragonfury book by Coreene Callahan. These Dragon Shifters are HOT HOT HOT! And Wick? He’s the hottest!

We’ve been watching Wick through all the Dragonfury stories. He’s a tortured soul who keeps to himself. He’s a wildcard and no one knows for sure what he’ll do. But they do know he’ll always be there when needed in battle.

J.J. is Taina’s sister and she’s in prison for murder. She’s up for parole, but one of the guards wants Taina. When Taina won’t play nice, he takes it out on J.J. Now her parole won’t happen.

Wick and the other Nightfuries break J.J. out of prison and so begins the relationship between J.J. and Wick. They both have issues. They both have needs. The both want each other.

J.J. sees underneath Wick’s hard as nails, tough exterior to the warm gooey filling inside. She’s relentless and understanding when it comes to Wick. Wick wants J.J. and hopes he’s not rejected by her.

Through all of this we have Ivar being bad (as usual). Ivar is gearing up for more bad behavior and he’s recruiting some newbies. There’s intrigue and espionage taking place over seas with the Dragon Council. Everything is gearing up for more trouble, dragon battles and of course, romance for the Nightfuries!

And then, we have the ever present complication and unexpected twist. It all adds up to a great story by Coreene Callahan. I can’t wait for the next one. I’m really hoping it’s Venom’s story!

Fury of Desire is book 4 in the Dragonfury series. This is Wicks story. I have read the first 3 books in this series and as much as I loved the first 3, Fury of Desire is my favorite so far. The plot thickens and new characters emerge. Betrayal, revenge, and steamy romance run rapid through out the pages. Coreene Callahan did an amazing job on Wicks and J.J's characters. I absolutely love where Coreene is taken the story. I really enjoy Coreenes writing style. So descriptive that you can see the scene play out like a movie. I look forward to the next book in the Dragonfury series.

Wick is one of the most vicious and troubled Drgonkind of the Nightfuries. He's unpredictable and dangerous. Wick feels strongly about righting a wrong with Mac and is going into Swedish Medical to rescue an HE female who happens to be Mac's females sister, J.J. Problem is J.J. is Wicks mate and this is uncharted territory for him.

J.J. has had a rough start in life. An abuse boyfriend...murders him in self defense...then sentence to prison. J.J. ends up at Swedish Medical due to a prison stabbing. Wick must find her before she falls into the wrong hands. Will her dark angel find her in time?

Ivar the leader of the Razorbacks is still plotting and preparing the super virus to kill off the humans but first he needs a break through in linking DNA. He needs to link HE females to Dragonkind hoping to produce a female Dragonkind.

Revenge being plotted to bring justice to a fallen razorback has left the Nightfuries stuck in a hard place. I can't wait to see where Coreene is going to take the Dragonkind warriors.

If you love dragons, warriors, steamy romance and a kick ass storyline I recommend you read Fury of Desire.

REVIEW:
I love this series! Hot paranormal romance about a group of dragons shifters that protect humans from a group of dragons that prey on humans. Fury of Desire is filled with danger, action, emotion, and smoking hot romance. I'm completely hooked on this series. Fury of Desire is book four in the series and is Wick's story. Wick has been a favorite of mine since the first book. I have a thing for bad boys. He's emotionally scarred after spending his childhood in slavery and forced to survive by fighting in pit fights against other boys. Wick can't stand to be touched, but when he meets J.J. he a has an instant connection with her and for the first time he feels the need to touch and be touched. I loved their story! This is a great paranormal romance series and I highly recommend it. I can't wait for the next book!

In the 4th book in the series, we get the story (finally) of Wick and JJ. We have already been introduced to JJ in the previous book as she is Tania's sister who was incarcerated for manslaughter. She is being hounded by Griggs, a nasty prison guard who wants Tania and will stop at nothing to get her, including having JJ beaten by another inmate. Wick, having been held captive and tortured when he was young, cannot stand the touch of another. Venom, his best friend, has to help him feed on the energy of women. Mac, another nightfury has saved Venom's life, therefore Wick owes Mac a debt of gratitude. When JJ is beaten, Wick takes it upon himself to be the one to free JJ from the hospital and Griggs as repayment to Mac since Tania is his woman.

What ensues is the story of JJ and Wick and the breakdown of that barrier that only JJ can give to Wick. This is another sexy, hot, steamy story of dragon shifters and the women they love. If you don't like hot, steamy, sexy shifter stories, stear clear. if you do, then check it out!

I loved this book so much. I want to just say "YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK" but of course that's to simple. I was sucked into this book from the very beginning and could hardly put it down. I didn't want it to end and I can't wait for the next book. There are so many things coming in this series I don't know which one I want to happen first.
Oh...Wick so very hot and so very heart wrenchingly wounded. He is one of the best characters I've read in a while. Jamison is a strong loving person who is wrongly imprisoned for protecting herself and her sister. Wick owes a debt of gratitude and sets out to get Jamison out of a deadly situation. Read this book and find out how two very wounded people chose a love that they never wanted but knew they couldn't live without.
This book can be read as a stand alone book but I highly suggest reading in order.
They only reason I didn't give this a 5* rating is for me it slowed in the middle a little.
I was given this book for a honest review by the author.

Coreene Callahan has done it again with this wonderful installment of the Nightfury novel series “Fury of Desire”. Her elaborate world building continues to expand to a fascinating level. Truly evil and frightening villains, a possible double agent, new alliances, science, and mysteries intermeshed with a sexy love story.
Beautiful damaged Wick overcomes a horrendous tortured history. He is a member of the Nightfury pack of dragon shifters. He is drawn to Jaminson “JJ” Solares sister of pack member mate but doesn’t understand why. Due to his past he can barely stand to be touched but wants to touch and be touched by the beautiful Jamison.
I would recommend “Fury of Desire” to any paranormal romance/romance reader! I was ecstatic to get Wick’s story, but then I am pretty happy to get any of the Nightfury stories. This is an intriguing and marvelous read. Venom’s story can’t come quick enough for me! Thank you Coreene!

Well, I'm sorry to say I am disappointed with this book. My opinion is that too much of the book was dedicated to all the subplots and not enough to Wick and JJ' s story. I think they are both very good characters with a lot of gut wrenching story to be told between them, but that didn't happen. The why behind their connection was hinted at but not fleshed out. I wanted more couple time and less about all the mess going on with Dragonkind. This book felt like a set up for the next and their is kind of a cliffhanger. I don't like that! Wick and JJ deserved more face time in their story.

With all that being said, I will continue to read the series because I love all the characters. I want all the guys to get their HEA. Maybe Forge is next. Plus I have to know what is happening in Prague. From now on I'll go into the books like they are Urban Fantasy instead of Romance. That way I won't be disappointed. Happy reading.

Fury of Desire is Wick's story...oh my beautiful Wick....love him to pieces. From the first book we see him as remote and quiet, but very fierce and scary at times. Wick has a horrible past, he has suffered tortured and he is the perfect match for J.J. because he undestands her in a way no one ever has. J.J. has been in jail for the past five years, for killing a man that was going to kill both her and her sister and she would do anything to protect her sister. When she gets injured Wick comes and rescues her but everything changes from the moment they first meet and Wick realizes that she could be his greatest hope to find peace and a chance to true love. This story is quite a tale of excitement and mystery and danger. There is plenty of dragon action and I loved seeing all my other favorite characters play a role in this story. Fury of Desire is a thrilling tale of adventure, sexy shifter dragons, and a level of intensity it will put fog on your windows. SEXY AND PASSIONATE!!!

There is so much passion in this book it made me weak at the knees.

Anyone who knows me knows I love Coreene Callahan's Dragonfury series. And yes, I've bounced back and forth with the game "Who's my favorite dragon?" The answer is clear. Wick. There's something about a warrior so emotionally wounded that it makes him vulnerable. All I want is for him to find his happy place. And his woman. We get that and more with this emotionally written, action packed, sensually charged, amazingly well written story. I love this entire series, but Fury of Desire is the best yet. Can't wait to see who's story comes up next. I know who I'm hoping for.

Was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book early from the author. I have to say that it's my favourite so far, although will forever have a soft spot for Mac. Beautifully written as we've come to expect from Coreene Callahan, the story unfolds at a good pace. This story really concentrates on the two lead characters which both have a complicated and in Wicks case a incredibly torturous past. I loved the snippets that we got from Venoms point of view. Ivar's still being very naughty and the story's been set up for some serious changes in the world of the Dragonkind, it's going to be a very long wait until the next instalment!

4 1/2 Stars. I was lucky and got a ARC of the book. Let's just say damn this book is fantastic. God Wick so misunderstood but we finely get to know why that is. He finds the perfect match for him in this story the only thing is will be have the balls to make her his or will he find the strength to let her go. This book has so much even with big twist the only thing is we will have to wait till the next book to see where they go. I fell so in love with this book that when it ended I was sitting there thinking is that it.

I want more :)

J'en attendait beaucoup, les héros étant prometteurs dans les tomes précédents. Malheureusement l'auteur a privilégié l'évolution de la trame principale en sacrifiant l'histoire du couple. C'est vraiment dommage, ils méritaient mieux. Livre bancal qui ouvrent trop de portes en même temps et nous laisse sur notre faim.

I love Wick, but I wanted more. I wanted more of his personal strugles and thoughts and more of him and JJ together.
Still loved the book though.
