Ancient Enemy

Katie Reus — 2020

She should be his mortal enemy. Ancient dragon shifter Rhys awoke from his slumber hungry for revenge against the witch who killed his sister. When his hunt takes him to the rebuilding city of New Orleans, he finds a woman he can’t keep his eyes off—but she’s a witch. While Rhys wants to despise all of Dallas’s kind, even he can’t deny that she's beautiful, kind and…adorable. And her pet baby dragon only increases his fascination with the sexy woman. Protective instincts he never knew he had take over him as they hunt powerful monsters. He’s forced to confront everything he thought he knew about witches as his life is turned upside down. But he wants her anyway. Dallas Kinley is used to being hated because of what she is. Witches have always been the pariahs of the supernatural community. Until now, when the world needs rebuilding. Even though she wants to keep her distance from Rhys, vampires and humans are dying in New Orleans, so she vows to help him hunt down those responsible. But finding the enemy comes at a heavy price, because Dallas is hiding a terrible secret. As they race against the clock to find the murderers, she can only hope his need for revenge won’t rip them apart. Especially when he finds out what she’s been hiding from him. Author note: Book can be read as a stand-alone complete with HEA.

Rhys is still hunting for his sisters killer millennia after the event. His hibernation over, he's determined to find the witch that ruined his family and he lands in New Orleans. Dallas loves her land and her little farmers co-op. They have what they need and her magic manages to give the land a little boost. Her former coven was turning to black magic more and more and she left just as quickly as she could but now that King is assisting Rhys with the search of the witch he's looking for, her new found anonymity and peace is going to be shot to bits! The perfect mate for a dragon that hates witches was obviously going to be a Witch! However, Dallas and Rhys have a lot of baggage they tote around and both of them manage to get in their own way at times. I could understand why Dallas kept her "little" family secret under wraps. Rhys was the perfect mix of Alpha male and sensitive lover. Dallas may be a little timid compared to some but she had a spine of steel when her little put together family is threatened. One specific little dragonling is just soooo cute! We need more of her! There is plenty going on storywise, both within the book and the overall story arc of the series. Lots of visitors from previous books and series to keep you entertained. That lion shifter is going to get a right hook to the mouth from someone soon!
