Saxton Lance, a.k.a. Apollo, is frustrated. He had his Omega in his sights before it escaped into the woods.

Orelle Molyneux has had a close one. Defying the rules, she slips out of Havenshade to relish the open forests of Derwent Valley when she is nearly caught by her slayer. On a trip to town, she meets up with friends who invite her to a club. There, she lets loose, imagining herself dancing for her ideal man. Never does she expect that when she opens her eyes, her fantasy man is in front of her and takes her breath away.

But both have secrets. Both can destroy the other. When the truth is revealed, there can only be one outcome.

For Apollo to find peace, he has to kill the woman he loves.

What a story in so little time!

Orelle and Saxton have it out for each other. The thing is that when Orelle is in her human form, they didn't know they were enemies. The story to bring them into the story and explain their past is pretty good. I can't wait to see who it highlights in the next book in this series!! I love the romance, the drama, and the kinship in this story!!

great audio

This is my first audio by this author. I enjoyed listening to it from start to end. I found this book easy to listen to. I enjoyed how the narrator brought the story to life. The change in tones made the story interesting and easy to listen to. This is a fantasy story with a touch of romance. The characters are great and had me coming back for more. There is great growth and chemistry throughout which made the story fun to listen too. This is a great audio that I enjoyed listening to on my way to work. I highly recommend this audio and I can't wait to see what this author has for us next

Supernatural, History, and Romance

A paranormal romance in which finding one’s true love can be devastating. Saxton is a Dragonslayer seeking to destroy his Omega, the dragon that has his soul, only to fail. Out for a night of drinking with fellow Dragonslayers to soothe his failed attempt, Saxton meets Orelle. Orelle is a beautiful woman with a body that just doesn’t stop taunting him. He must have her! His desire and need may just destroy them both when secrets are revealed.

Isobelle Cate, the author, weaves a romantic paranormal story focused on humans and dragons mixing in historical references and mysticism. Her imagery is rich and does not disappoint. Isobelle can definitely get things steamy between characters. The plot twists were well delivered and fit in the story nicely. The ending was suspenseful and satisfying.
The narrator, Stafford Evans provides a unique voice suitable for each character. Delivery is smooth and clear with just enough intonation to draw the listener into the story and hold their attention. I enjoyed listening to Evans and hope to hear more.

This is a captivating story that elicits a variety of emotions based on the idea of romance and overcoming obstacles whether tangible or not.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done.

Great Story

Dragonslayer Dragon Heart (Dragon Heart Book 1) Audiobook by Isobelle Cate
 
Dragonslayer Dragon Heart is the first book in the Dragon Heart Series (Audiobook) and I absolutely enjoyed listening. From the very beginning I was pulled in and I found myself caught up in the story. The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life and keeping your attention. The different tones pulled me in and had me on the edge a couple of times. There’s definitely some chemistry between them. What will happen when the one man you fall for turns out to be the who was destined to kill you?   Saxton and  Orelle will soon find out what their destiny has in store for them. I highly recommend listening to this fast paced, action packed Fantasy/Romance to find out what happens next.  This is a new author to me but I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from them.

Dragon/Dragonslayer Love Story

This book is based in Greek Mythology, the story of dragons and their slayers. The story is that the dragonslayer will not be a complete person until they slay their dragons. By slaying one’s dragon, they release their soul into themselves in order to live their complete, fulfilled life. One night, dragonslayer Apollo, aka Saxton, meets a woman named Orelle, in a club. Her dancing and scent intoxicates him and he is immediately attracted and doesn’t understand why. Orelle, is a dragon disguised in her human form. The two of them have a mutual attraction, but Orelle is not supposed to be out amongst the crowds. However, the two of them keep finding each other and finally give in to their whims of sexual attraction. Each of them, though, are keeping many secrets. How long can these secrets stay hidden? Will they figure out why the attraction is there, and if they do, what does that mean since they are mortal enemies?
Overall, I thought this book was okay. I like the idea of the story and the Greek Mythology behind it. I thought that the characters were interesting. Orelle, I liked her ambition and straight-forward aspects. With Saxton, he was extremely straight-forward which I don’t normally have issues with, but I found it unattractive in this character. I think a lot of that comes from the wording that the author uses. There were times where I just thought the wording was cringy, and I like dirty talk, etc. He did grow on me toward the end of the story, however. I also didn’t really like the narrator of the audiobook, he sounded Scottish. This could be a big reason why I thought that the book was just okay. The accent was pretty thick so I, at times, lost interest in the story.

Intriguing new series

Once upon a time Dragon's were the guardian of a slayer's soul. That is until Slayers killed dragons. Now Dragons are very careful about staying hidden, but Orelle Molyneux needs to have some freedom instead of staying hidden all the time. One night though she ends up meeting Saxton Lance aka Apollo dragonslayer, the attraction is instant but Orelle is guarded and wants to keep Saxton at a distance. Neither plan for the secrets each holds but what happens when it is revealed, will it be another slaying or could they change their fate?

This was an entertaining story. I was pulled in right away and thought this was a unique take to a mythology shifter story. Saxton radiated on each page, found his character really intriguing. Great story, look forward to more in this series.

Flaming hot and worth the listen!

What happens when the man you fall for is the man who is destined to kill you? Orelle has a secret, one that can get her killed. Saxton is a dragonslayer. All he wants is to be done with this task so he can move on. One night he finds himself in a club with friends, but it turns out differently than most nights. Here he finds a woman that is captivating and decides he must have her. Will love when out in the end or will it be the end for the dragon?
This book was steamy, action packed, and had wonderful characters. Read this book and come along for one hell of a ride ;)

Five Stars

This is the first book I have listen to by this author, and it isn’t one of my go to genres. I have to say I’m really looking forward to listening to more Dragon books by Ms. Cate. The story was riveting and I like the backstory given about how Dragons and Slayers were connected.
This is also the first book I have listened narrated by Stafford Evans. He has a fantastic voice and really brought the characters to life. I would definitely listen to more books narrated by Mr. Evans.

Hot! Hot Hot!

This story is amazing and so original. I loved the story line of the slayer falling for his dragon and the drama that ensues. That made for an adventure that had me hooked from the moment I started. The narrator, Oh my! that man does so much to this story. What an amazing voice. His accent just gave a whole new voice to the tale. All together, I highly recommend this to every paranormal romance lover out there.
