DARK BEGINNINGS box set by Donna Grant


DARK BEGINNINGS is a great way for newbies to try out Donna Grant’s writing. It is also a wonderful way for current fans to give her other series a try.

The three stories in this box set are different than her Highlander, Dragon, and Cowboy series. Two are set in and around New Orleans.


WILD FEVER, book one in the CHIASSON series
Vincent Chiasson comes from a long line of supernatural hunters. Their unorthodox occupation has ostracized them from their community. Olivia Breaux returns to her hometown after a work scandal forces her to leave Dallas. She wants to re-piece the shambles of her life, but Vincent Chiasson makes that difficult.

Readers who enjoy the television show SUPERNATURAL will adore this series. It almost has the same “vibe” while being wholly different.


MOON KISSED, book one in the LARUE series.
Myles LaRues co-owns a bar in New Orleans, Louisiana with his brothers. The LaRues are related to the Chiasson’s. Unlike their cousins, the LaRue branch is cursed, but they still follow the same ‘family occupation’. Addison Moore is a down-on-her-luck college student. When her intuition money runs out, she drifts into a bar to lick her wounds. Addison is brutally introduced to the supernatural world.
This series follows the same vibe and feel as the CHIASSON series. I love that the story takes place in New Orleans. It has a little more paranormal element than the other series.


PRINCE OF DESIRE, book one in the ROYAL CHRONICLES series.
Lucian Sinclair is a prince of a secret and hidden kingdom. He must find and bring his eternal mate back (willingly) to Drahcir within an allotted time. Lucian rescues his mate from ruffians intending her harm. Isabelle has lived her entire life in a small Scottish village. She also accepted the fact that she would always live there. A mysterious yet dangerous stranger swoops to her rescue.
This is the only story in the box set that brings to mind Donna Grant’s DARK SWORD series. It has the same feel and flavor yet wholly its own.
