About this listen

Cameron wants to make one thing clear: He didn't come into the festival to find a dragon mate.

Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place for Cameron find himself. So how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan?

He blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, king of the Fire Dragons: his fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right? It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, he realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be - magic, mates, kidnapping, and all.

Turns out Germany isn't an escape...it's his awakening.

A brilliant beginning to a dynamic series!

I don't often read fantasy or paranormal stories because they can get convoluted and confusing with too many unique elements to keep track of - and I'm here for the relaxing read with fun and enjoyment! But I'd heard a lot of good things about this series and wanted to give it a go.
I'm so glad I did - there is none of the confusion that often come along with a fantasy book, the storyline is paced very well and plot points explained in increments so the reader can soak them in easily while enjoying the wonderful banter and charismatic characters that abound in this world. It's extremely well written and the reader eagerly gobbles up each word on the page (or word in the ear if you listen to the brilliant audio by Joel Leslie).
Simply a brilliant beginning to a dynamic series!

I have never wanted to purchase the next book in a serise a third of the way into a book before.
This was a fun and light hearted read while still being graphically sexy and just violent enough to be exciting. I am bummed we don't get more of a dragon Daddy that they hinted to at the beginning of the book.
I found the language a bit immature but I think that's just showing my age.

While having a great range of character voices I am not the biggest fan of Leslie. He is not a bad narrator, and I have listened to things by him a few times, but I every time I need to listen at 95% - 80% and it still seems quite fast paced.

Now I am only pausing long enough to write this review before starting the next book.
