Smolder

Drake Security, Book 2

De: Mika Nix

Narrado por: Michael Ferraiuolo

I was hired to protect him, but will our smoldering attraction ignite into love?

When my hot headed brother found his fated mate, a deep, aching desire opened up inside of me for my own. Everyone knows dragons are covetous, jealous… possessive. I am all of these things, but never more so than when I set my eyes on Dempsey for the first time.

Beautiful. Awkward. Sweet. Shy. Perfect. My dragon wants to wrap himself around him the moment he bumps into me outside of his antique shop. Dempsey, however, is not as keen on that idea as my inner beast is.

He hired Drake Security for protection, and he needs it even more than he realized. Unfortunately, we specialize in brute strength and burning sh*t to the ground, and the problem Dempsey has is way out of our league.

Is he my fated mate or am I just so desperate for one that I’m falling for him too fast? Either way, I’ll move heaven and hell to protect him, even if the forces that are after him are unlike anything I’ve dealt with before.

I’ve spent thousands of years hoarding books and storing their words close to my heart. Will the love stories that live inside my soul be enough to woo him? Is it too much to hope that fate has chosen him for me?

**** Smolder is book 2 in the Drake Security series and has a reluctant fated mate, dragon shifters, book swooning, ancient mysteries, and magic. Each book can be listened to on its own, but is so much better if listened to in order. The series is all dragons, NO MPREG.

Better

Much better than the first. good story. Will get the 3rd once it comes out. Michael is amazing as always.

Cute couple!

This was a great addition to the series and the couple is adorable together. The narration was really well done.

One of my favorites

Although the story line is relatively predictable, the way these books are written leaves you with a strong sense of fulfillment and contentment when the moments you anticipate finally happen. I didn’t know how I’d get over Nico and Lake’s story but Hemingway and Dempsey just furthered that happy feeling I had once this book was finished.

Better Than the First in the Series

And the first was excellent too! Interesting storyline, likable characters, and insta love. Flawless narration. Highly recommend!

Great Story! Even Better Than The First!

This one had a really great story that was emotional and well thought out. the first was also lovely, but this one had some depth that I wasn't expecting. I'm pretty excited for the third in the series.

Great story. excellent performance.

I can't wait for the rest of the series to come to Audible. I hope it is soon.

Enjoyed the series and narrator

These are enjoyable stories I. The series, good character development and like the naughty bits.

Intense Love

I thoroughly love the dynamic between Dempsey and Hemingway! The reserve and willingness to take each day step-by-step so that they could open up and fully love each other was very heartwarming. The sex scenes were steamy and love that was solidified towards the end was strong and beautiful. I’m thoroughly excited to hear the next books and the series. I’m debating on actually getting the books themselves to read since I don’t know if I can wait that long for another audible release. Not sure when that will be but hopefully not too long! I really hope all of the brothers find their fated mates

Dempsey and Hemingway - swoony suspenseful perfection

I loved loved loved Dempsey and Hemingway’s book nerd, dragon shifter, fated mates romance with a side of ancient curses. This is another cannot put it down enthralling book in this fun, spicy, romantic suspense series. The author did a phenomenal job balancing the romance with the suspense and slowly ratcheting up the level of danger until I was all in urging Hemingway to hurry up and save Dempsey before the bad thing killed him. Phew. This well written story was delicious perfection and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. Hemingway is a dragon shifter who owns a security company with his brothers. He’s also a book nerd and his hoard reflects that. Dempsey owns an antique shop that has been broken into and he hires Drake Security to keep him safe. He is also an adorkable book nerd. There is instant attraction between the two but they ignore it because Dempsey does not think he is worthy and Hemingway worries his dragon is just coveting having a mate since his brother just found his. While Dempsey and Hemingway work their way to their HEA, strengthen their mate bond, and thwart the evil trying to harm Dempsey, you will feel all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, gasping, and cheering. The book was filled with sweet moments, steamy scenes, real life issues, imperfect characters, painful pasts, dangerous situations, evil actors, magic, chuckles, messy families, and all the swoony love. This is a standalone but do yourself a favor, read all the books because they are all good. I can’t wait to read the next story in the series with the next brother.

Michael Ferraiuolo did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Yes, Yes and Yes!!

Michael Ferraiuolo is WONDERFUL!! This Audio was everything I hoped it would be!! I loved reading the book and couldn't wait to get to listen to its audio!! Absolutely recommend this audio!!
