An ok fast read

It was a fast ok-ish good read which could have been better if it had been longer (with much more descriptions) or if there had been less secondary/third characters' POV. Some other POVs were interesting because they gave answers but for something so short, it should have focused more on the two MC.

Short and steamy

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It’s short, fast paced and steamy. Great start to the series, looking forward to the next one.

enjoyable enough

This is your classic romance, add in some m-preg and honestly if you’re looking at this review this book might work for you. It was heavy in it’s info dumping throughout the whole book and had a lot of POV’s for an short story however it was like an old school PNR romance so easy to just read through.

It helped that I was reading this via audio. I thought he did a good job with the context even if he wasn’t great at female voices and didn’t really make it clear when they were narrating and talking, but that could very well be a book itself, I don’t know.

It was short and quiet and I intriguing enough that I might pick up the next one

The first book in the series, and I love these aud

A rogue gargoyle is sent to kill a vampire, and Ben Morgan is the unfortunate one and is stabbed fatally.

Krispin Adair, a dragon shifter, is called in by Ben's pack leader, as nobody else has been able to save Ben from his stabbing. At this point, they will try anything and everything to help him.

This is a great story, full of ups and downs. Mating, Mpreg. Great reading, keeping you riveted throughout the book. Highly recommend.

Good narration from Aaron Ross, but I did speed up on Audible, which is usual for me, but clear and concise. I will be looking for the next book in the series. I absolutely love the Scottish brogue.

Dragon Kings and Vampire Mates

The Dragon King’s Heart is the first book in The High Garden Dragon series, a fantasy series with mpreg (not omegaverse). This short novella packs a lot into it: world building, political intrigue, life/death situations, true-mates, hidden royalty, surprise pregnancy, and a whole host of characters. I was actually surprised with how short the book was after I finished considering the wild ride the plot took me on.

The romance was sweet and I love how tender the two main characters were with each other. The plot pushed forward fast and the action kept on coming. I wish the book was a bit longer and took a little more time to develop scenes and characters, but overall it was a good read and it set the stage for the next book nicely.

The audiobook was narrated by Aaron Ross, a new-to-me narrator. He did a decent job with the narration, but sometimes the voicing of the characters wasn’t as distinct as I would have liked. I listened to this audiobook in one day and it kept me entertained.

An interesting tale

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this story. First there’s Ben. Who’s attacked while he’s chasing gargoyles. Okay, not something I’ve seen before. Then he gets attacked and is dying. But Krispin the Dragon King can save him. Okay. Then they had to, uh, do it. Right away. Okay. I’m not up on all the fated mate rules – and authors are free to make their own. I just thought the whole ‘we have to do it right now and you’re going to bear my baby’ thing happened really fast. This is a novella and the time flies. Novellas are tough – trying to get an entire story into something much smaller. The author did a good job and the series is set up nicely, so there’s that.

Aaron Ross is a good narrator. I’d never heard him before, but I’d be up to trying him again. This was a quick listen and a good series starter. Will be interesting to see where the series goes next.

The Dragon King and his mate!

A dragon and a vampire, a great combination for me! This book has a nice world building. A vampire enforcer in a mission ends up fatally hurt at the dragon’s clinic. Dr. Adair is no ordinary dragon. I enjoyed their mating and the suspense around their circumstances. Sometimes, I got confused on who was talking but the narration did it’s job.

Nice start to a new series

A classic paranormal romance novel with vampires and dragons. The theme was entertaining and the story was told from various POVs. After Benny was attacked by a gargoyle, Crispin saved his life. However, there is so much more to Crispin than a simple doctor.

The story was fast-paced and entertaining and beautifully written.
The narrator was new to me and did a pretty good job. I only had a bit of a problem with the female voice of the witch, as it wasn't that different from the others.
I listened to the audiobook in one go and am already curious how it continues.

3.5

The audio was interesting as it took me a while to get used to the different accents for Krispin and Ben. Once I did though, I enjoyed the performance - aside from the last sex scene. That one didn't work for me. I dunno if it was the writing of it or the performance but I had to tune out.
As for the story, it was fast paced with a fated mates element. The birth was unusual as these things go but not overly described.
I'm tempted to pick up more from the series
