Fury of Conviction is the 2nd book in the Dragonfury Series. I haven’t read the first book but it didn’t seem to matter because I really enjoyed this book. The explosive connection between Hamersveld and Natalie is palpable. I now need to go read the first one. I need more of this world where dragons exist among us!

Excellent Paranormal Romance and Author Coreene Callahan is new to me. Hamersveld is torn between duty and a girl whom he falls for, Natalie. Natalie is kidnapped and taken against her will. Natalie and her friend Kasi try and escape where they are being held captive and I was totally at the edge of my seat. Once Hamersveld and his crew caught up to them, Natalie feels this pull toward Hamersveld. Will Hamersveld truly save Natalie from the Razorback Pack? Love the Dragon Shifter fantasy aspect in this book. Looking forward to continuing this series!!

Fury of Conviction (“Villains” of the Dragonfury Series Book 2) by Coreene Callahan
This is the first book I’ve read by Callahan. Needless to say that it won’t be my last. This short read will have you wanting more. Callahan knows how to draw her readers in.
Sveld is half-human half-Dragon. He thinks he can’t have kids, but he doesn’t want anyone to have what he’s claimed. When the female he claims takes off it forces him to do something he normally wouldn’t do. The quote I chose for Sveld is: “Couldn’t help myself. You look beautiful in my ropes, Natalie. Had to see it for myself, just once before…”
Natalie wants nothing to do with Sveld at first. Then she learns everything about him and it changes her mind. When she learns that she can’t stay it hurts to leave him. The quote I chose for Natalie is: “At least five hundred miles, right? As long as I stay that far away, you can’t track me.”
Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

In need of an engaging short, fast-paced, and steamy read? Fury of Conviction grabs the attention of the reader and transports them to the world of Dragonfury. There is love to be found in the most unlikely places and redemption to right some wrongs. This was my first time reading Coreen’s work; it certainly won’t be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book; I think you would too. 😉

This was a first for me by Coreene Callahan, so I had no clue what to expect. I’ve been on a huge fantasy kick lately, so thought I would give this a go. I think my absolute favorite part about this book was how descriptive it was. The scenes were really laid out beautifully, and I loved that. You don’t get a whole lot of Sveld and Natalie together, but what you do get is packed full of sweet AND spicy.

I was sucked into this story immediately. My first book with this author and it did not disappoint. Not a really long book – I was finished within a couple of hours. I immediately looked up the other books in the series. She has a couple of series that overlap. So I have already started the other series. First, the hero is on the villain’s side in this world of half-human half-dragon beings we are introduced to. He knows what’s going down, and he is having issues with it. Especially when one of the kidnapped females has caught his attention. Natalie is a spunky heroine who takes her fate into her own hands. I will say that this book ends kind of on a cliffhanger, but I wasn’t unhappy with ending. Go grab this one!!

Hamersveld is Dragonkind, a dragon shifter with a chequered past, he has seen joy, tragedy and now friendship, but he is also alone, which is how he like it, he has his sanctuary on the edge of Lake Chelan, it is tidy, organised and clean, just how he likes it, but it is also empty, he cannot keep his mind from a woman who appeared a month ago, she is a beautiful redhead with green eyes and the perfect small package, but he cannot avoid the fact that she is also a captive in the lair run by his commander. Natalie is a fiery redhead with a temper, but she is also smart, ever since she was kidnapped in the middle of the night, she has studied her prison and thankfully made a friend in the process, but now is the time for her to try and escape, if only a tall blonde Viking like man didn’t interrupt her thoughts all the time, she would have figured things out a lot more quickly.
Hamersveld is about to go on patrol as soon as night falls, but when he gets to the abandoned bunker he calls his workplace, it is in even more of a state of dishevelment as the other warriors of his kind challenge each other to have access to the females in a couple of weeks, it is a prize they all want and need, so the fighting is vicious and if not curtailed, could turn out to be deadly, so in order to avoid the chaos which could ensue, he has to step in and stop the fighting before announcing the top three places, as he is sorting them out, he receives information that the woman who has caught his eye is in the midst of escaping. Hamersveld knows that if she is caught, a fate worse than she can imagine awaits her, however, when he gets to the site of the prison, another Dragonkind has his hands on her, this tips him over the edge and he becomes a feral fighting machine.
Natalie was so close to escape, she could almost taste it, but when she is caught and she sees the mystery man, she cannot believe her eyes as he transforms before her eyes into something she thought only existed in folklore, after he has placed in a safe space and shown his authority over the other man, he gives her a choice, to go back to the prison, or to go with him, she cannot deny that she is attracted to him, but is that decision in her best interest and which way will the pendulum swing? Which future will Natalie swing towards, a life in confinement, or an exchange of time for a bit more freedom? This is a paranormal romance with an element of danger, where choices could lead to either happiness or heartbreak, but which one is chosen can only be found out by reading to the end.

Hmmm..I really enjoyed the heck out of this story. I guess I just wanted completion of it. It seems to have ended kinda up in the air. I enjoyed meeting Hamersveld and Fen. Very interesting and intriguing idea from them. I want to know more! Do all dragons have a little friend or just water dragons?
Overall this is a short, quick high emotion read. I really liked it and it makes me wonder about others from this author.

Fury of Conviction (dragonfly Short Story Collection #2) by Coreene Callahan was the first book by this Author that I have read and I really enjoyed it from start to finish. I truly wished there was more…that’s the sign of a good book isn’t it?
Hamersveld has a big decision to make, does he stand by the Razorbacks and their crazy idea or does he follow his own desires and seemly uncontrollable attraction to Natalie, one of the beautiful young women that they are currently holding captive. At the same time that Sveld is battling with his decision, Natalie herself is very focused on escaping and getting back to her life but when an opportunity arises can she take it and leave the gorgeous Sveld behind for good.
I can’t wait to read the next story to see if we find out not only more about Sveld and Natalie, but also the rest of the Razorbacks.

A quick read short romance story about dragon shifters. It lives up the expectation of it being hot.
I enjoyed this novella. Pulls from forbidden lovers and enemies to lovers romance tropes. Few authors can do those tropes well in a novella/short story, but Coreene Callahan does. I enjoyed the build up that occurs between the two characters. Does end on a cliffy.
I have not read the other series and you don’t need to, though I bet it provides more backstory if you have. This is book 2 of this novella series and it does reference things from book 1, but you won’t be lost if you’ve yet to read that or the other series.
Trigger warning for human trafficking and references to forced breeding.

Fury Of Conviction is the second book in the Dragonfury Bas Boys Shifter Series by Coreene Callahan. This is the first book I have read by this author, but definitely not the last. This short story had my attention from the very first page. It was just long enough to read on a Sunday afternoon. Reading helps me relieve stress and I just fell into this Dragon world. I’m looking forward to going back and reading the first book in this series. I would highly recommend this book.

4 Star!!!!
I have once again found a new series and start out of order but don’t feel out of sink. I really love the author’s concept and I love dragons. I really could not put this book down. I am just hooked on dragon books and love dragon romances. I really like how the author was able to make this series one that flows with cliff hangers.
Hamersveld and Natalie have a complex love story and I for one love the fact that it is filled with drama and complexity. It makes it so much better story wise if it isn’t predictable and like a carbon of another series. I love the fact that the book ends on a cliff hanger and it really makes me excited for the next. Bring me more is all I can say and let me delve into the world of dragons!

I need Book 3 Now!
Fury of Conviction by Coreen Callahan is book 2 in the “Villains” of the Dragonfury series.
Although part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
This is my first dragon shifter book and boy am I happy I started with one by Coreen Callahan!
This is a short story and can be read in just a couple hours. I really enjoyed the relationship between Natalie and Hamersveld.
Hamersveld is working though his own struggles, trying to decide how or if he’s going to defy the rules and help Natalie.
Being held captive, Natalie is just looking for a way out period! Little does she know; she has someone on her side to help her with that. But how far will she go?
Ending on a cliff with a steep edge, I am not so patiently waiting for the next installment of this story! I need to know!!! But in the meantime, I guess I can keep myself busy with her other books 🙂

Hamersveld is a dragon warrior. For years he was a loner. He recently joined a group of fellow dragon warriors called the Razorbacks. Unfortunately, the group has done a sketchy thing. Dragon warriors can only mate during a certain time. Other warriors have captured women to get the women ready for this alignment. One of the captives rocks Hamersveld world. He is drawn to her, and for that reason he has issued a no touch order on her.
Natalie is one of the captives. With her photographic memory, she has memorized the lair where she is being held against her will. Not knowing what her captors want with her, she and a fellow captive decide to try and escape their captivity. She almost makes it out of the lair when she is caught by a dragon warrior.
Hamersveld must make a choice on staying loyal to the Razorbacks or rescuing the woman who has captivated him since her arrival. What choice will he make and will it break his bond with the Razorbacks?

Fury of Conviction is a great short paranormal romance filled with dragon shifters, kidnapping, drama, fantasy, and so much more. While I love a good novella as much as the next person my only disappointment in this book is I wish it was longer. Ms. Callahan put so much into this novella that I found myself getting lost in the pages and before I knew it the book was over. Her writing is creative and beautiful, with wonderful characters, a terrific plot line, and an overall story that I just didn’t want to end. I will definitely be looking for more from Ms. Callahan and I personally recommend you pick up a copy of Fury of Conviction immediately.

The author’s writing is well executed and I love the world she has created. It is a short story though, so a quick read. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

Fury of Conviction (“Villains” of the Dragonfury Series) by Coreene Callahan is a paranormal story. This is the second book in the series and is a short story. The story flows nicely but I wish it were longer than a little tease. The plot is simplistic in its telling but has enough of everything to hold your interest and become invested. With sexy alpha Dragon shifters this little taste of what Coreene can do will have me running back to read more of this intriguing and interesting world she has created. I do love me some shifters.

This was a really good read. I like the supernatural element in the story revolving around dragons and the romance between Hamersveld and Natalie is really special.
Natalie has been kidnapped to use as part of a breeding programme to help create more baby dragons.
Hamersveld is one of the dragons in the pack. When he sees Natalie he vows to rescue her. However he can’t take her as his own due to the fact he can’t produce babies.
Still he needs to rescue her and when he does the connection between them is amazing. So fully committed to each other it would make for a perfect ending. However things aren’t that good. Natalie has to leave before the rest of Hamersveld’s pack come and take her back to the breeding programme.
With both their hearts breaking it is a classic story of if you love someone you have to let them go. But will this be the end for Natalie and Hamersveld or just the beginning.

Fury of Conviction is the second book in the Dragonfury Short Story Collection by Coreene Callahan. Who doesn’t love a great dragon shifter story- I know I do! So, it was never any question that I would snap up a copy of this book the moment I saw it in my notifications.
Coreene Callahan is a ‘new-to-me’ author and I am really baffled as to why I haven’t come across her books before now, because after doing a little stalking- er, um, I mean research, I discovered that she has written a slew of Dragonfury books, and as I mentioned before, I LOVE dragon shifter stories, so I am kicking myself that I have been missing out all this time, and I hate missing out on good books lol….
Anyway, I digress, back to my review. This is a great little paranormal romance, with DRAGON SHIFTERS 😊, fantasy, kidnapping, drama, agendas, chemistry, and action. It was a great introduction to Ms. Callahan’s style, and definitely gave me a taste for her work. The only issue I have is that I wish it had been longer (this is a novella length quick and easy read) as there were aspects of the story I would like to have explored in greater detail. It really made me curious about the pack and the Dragonfury ‘world’- so I will definitely be going back to explore the rest of the Dragonfury books/series- as there seems to be quite a lot of full length novels there for me to sink my teeth into…. so stay tuned.
Thank you, Coreene Callahan!

This was such a good story. It was an easy read also.
The tale between Natalie and Hamersveld is very well told with the action and romance and, very well detailed for the shortness of the book.
From being kidnapped to kinda rescued, Natalie is having a inner battle with her feelings for her savior. Should she or shouldn’t she? That is her question.
Hamersveld is love struck with Natalie from the very beginning of the story! But he has to defy his leader to get to her. Will he? Who knows!
This was my first book by Coreene Callahan. But it won’t be the last!

Fury of Conviction by Coreene Callahan is the is the second book in the “Villains” of the Dragonfury series. This is quieter a short story but is full of action and excitement. The author has certainly figured out how to fit a lot into a small book. This book can be read in its own without losing any enjoyment.
This is a new author to me and I really enjoyed how she conveyed everything in her writing. Although I finished the book quicker than I expected I did not feel like I had missed one in anything. It is a very fast paced book so it felt like I was taken on a whirlwind journey. I enjoyed the writing style and thought the characters were great to read about.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be going back to read book 1.

When first reading this book, I was thinking that it was just another dragon shifter book. But the author did a really nice job transporting the reader to Lake Chelan. I live in the Pacific Northwest and she did a decent job describing the surroundings and definitely made the reader “feel” at peace with those surroundings. I just really wish the characters had the same description and depth. The reader is transported to a serene environment and then quickly thrust into a predicament that the main character, Sveld struggles with but ultimately had a hand in creating. We find out quickly about his attraction to and attentiveness to Natalie, but again, not much backstory into who she is other than a person who ended up in a really bad situation. The story is novella-sized and a fun quick read. There are moments of action, then peace, and moments of steamy romance. A good combo for a quick read.
I am curious about what happens next. I think I would be more drawn to “what happens next” if the characters’ stories and relationships were drawn out more and given more attention. I thought the premise of the story was a great idea. I found the book to be missing the depth of character. I do, however, think there is a lot of opportunity for potential growth to develop the characters more.
Thank you Ms Callahan, I enjoyed the quick read.

The conflict in the book keeps you on the edge of your seat. Hamersveld is 1/2 human and 1/2 dragon. He is torn at the ritualistic experiments used to make babies for their species using human women. He is attracted to one woman, Natalie, who he feels he must rescue and help. Natalie is pretty strong and independent. The conflict for power is strong. Sveld, as he is known, is screwed because of his attraction to her. The chemistry is there and a surprise is waiting. This book is so full of power. Natalie’s willpower to survive is strong and thriving even though she doesn’t quite know where she is or when she was taken. Ivar is the bad guy and Sveld is just trying to protect Natalie, which is when we see his inner battle between bad and good. He’s just trying to protect those he cares about. Ivar is his friend but Natalie is the woman he cares about. It’s the classic love story.

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is a shorter story that is full of action and just a great story. This is a well written story that the author used attention to details that gave the story a realistic feel. The characters brought the story to life on each page with the action and skills. They are connectable and truly made the story for me. I found this book to be a faster paced story that packs a punch. It is a story full of kidnapping and characters who are playing a game of life or death. Natalie is a great strong character and she is determined to find a way to escape her captor who makes no mistakes. I am glad I picked up this book and look forward to going back to read book one. I highly recommend this book.

I absolutely fell in love with this book. Once I started I couldn’t stop, Hamersveld and Natalie are now on my list of characters I adore. The chemistry between them and the passion they had for one another jumped off the pages. Natalie was tough and she didn’t back down and Hamersveld was the enemy but started to care for her and she didn’t know how to handle it.
