REVIEW - Fury of Desire (Dragonfury #4) by Coreene Callahan


The Book
Release Date: 15 October 2013

Of all of the warriors in the Nightfury pack, none is more complicated or more damaged than Wick. Emotionally scarred from a childhood of slavery and torture, Wick can barely stand the touch of another person. But all bets are off when he meets newcomer J.J. Solares. When J.J. is unjustly imprisoned, Wick agrees to help rescue and return her to the family fold. But Wick lives a life of self-imposed isolation, even among his beloved brothers in arms. Venturing into the world to seek justice for J.J. may be more than he can bear.
Meanwhile J.J. fights for her life at the hands of brutal prison guard Griggs. When she winds up in the hospital she sees no hope for things getting better. But events take a dramatic turn when she and Wick encounter each other. The connection they share is unlike anything either has felt before. J.J. believes she is hallucinating when she sees the majestic dark-haired god sweep in to save her, and Wick is shaken to his core by the attraction he feels for J.J. For the first time in his life, he finds himself wanting to get close to a woman. 

After J.J.’s rescue, the two retire to Wick's mountain home, where J.J. recovers from physical injury while attempting to help Wick recover from his emotional ones. But neither is out of harm's way yet. And when they find themselves in the center of a Dragonkind war, they are forced to make the ultimate choice between surrendering to their fears or each other’s love.

My Review     5 STARS
Ok.  So it has been more than a hot minute since I last read a book in this series, but I have not forgotten too much about this series.  I certainly remember really liking this authors writing and this series.

In this book Wick meets his match in Jamison.  The man who likes to fight and not bee touched finds himself curious about J.J. when he decides that he needs to reduce her as a thank you to his friend Mac and his mate Tania, J.J. sister.

J.J. has one month left in prison after killing her ex-boyfriend as self defence, however a mean guard had another prisoner corner and attack J.J, so now she is in hospital and knows that her sentence will now bee lengthened.  However a strange porter has her body hurting and when the guard shows up she fears for her life.

When she sees Wick for the first time, although she too is not once for touch anymore, she feels safe with Wick, and Wick struggles a little, but actually finds himself wanting to touch J.J and help her when she needs it.

We learn much more about Wick and why he is the way he is, we get more family members, fighting, love and friendship all packaged up with a brilliant story and gripping writing.  Looking forward to reading the other books in this series again now.
