À propos de cet audio

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.

These two authors have written a great story. I’m looking forward to listening to more from this family of dragons and mages. But it’s Joel Leslie who steals the show. An epic creative exercise in accents and pure entertainment. I had only one weeeeeee oddity worth mentioning: while the characters in this book are either German, American, South American or Korean, the non dialogue parts were conducted in what I assume is Mr. Leslie’s native British accent. It’s lovely, but quite oddly out of place when there aren’t any British characters. Not bad, but not something I’d noticed any of Mr. Leslie’s other narrations, of which there are many worth noting. His entire catalogue is excellent.

(Finally if you haven’t already, head over to Mr. Leslie’s website and listen to ALL the accents he’s perfected. It’s amazing and amusing.)

Joel Leslie steals the show!

Great back story. So interesting!!! Dragons feel like family to me now after listening to this. I always enjoy Joel Leslie narrating.

Dragons Rock!!!

In this alternate earth dragons exist or rather they did until the great war between an extremist group of rogue mages the the dragons. Thought dead, there are still two clans, two very small clans, still left. They need mages to survive.
Cameron, who dreamed of seeing dragons is befriended by none other than Alric the King of the fire dragons. Unwilling at first to accept he is a mage until a kidnap attempt proves the existence of magic. Now the rogue mages once thought wiped out are rising again and Cameron and his family as well as the rest of the dragons are all in serious danger.

The story has lots of action and a nice slow built to the romance. It's well done. At no time does the story drag. This is my first audiobook by this author and I will be getting the next one in the series.

Joel. Sigh. He's a good narrator in that he pours his heart into the story and makes you grip the edge of your seat unable to stop listening. That being said, Joel adopts an English accent for Cameron's parts. Now, I love a good British accent, fake or not (Joel isn't British), but Cameron, who is American, should think in an American voice. It throws me at first.

The next thing is that his pronunciation of German words is great in the beginning, not so much by the end. Burkhart becomes 'burgart' for example. Sloppy.

Overall, this is very much worth the credit or purchase.

Dragons, oh my!

most of the story and narration is fine: I enjoy the world building and the main characters' performances are believable and interesting. however, the absurd choice of accent for the grandmother is pretty racist, to be honest. it doesn't sound Korean and it's clear the narrator isn't familiar with the language. aside from the grossness of that choice -- especially for a white narrator to perform it, It's just genuinely unpleasant to listen to. I'm most of the way through the book but probably won't finish because of it.

the accent ruins the book unfortunately

The story was fine, but Joel Leslie, who normally is great at many accents, butchered the Korean accent. That character isn’t in much of the book, but unfortunately I couldn’t take it anymore. It was a weird meld of fake-sounding French and fake-Chinese with the occasional Korean-sounding syllable, all said verrrry slowly. I know he tried.
