The Dragon Lord’s Love

The High Garden Dragons, Book 8

By: C.K. Noel

Narrated by: Aaron Ross

A lonely, 4,000-year-old dragon discovers his fated mate.... Too bad his mate is engaged to a woman.

The endless stream of lovers dragon lord Matías Tilly parades through his life hasn't helped him feel less alone. Finding his fated mate should help him escape his loneliness. At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Unluckily for Matías, his mate's happily engaged to be married...to a lovely woman.

Ryan Hall has always sought his father's approval; every decision in his life stems from him trying to be good enough. The validation he craves never materialized. It has, however, led to an engagement to his best friend. Except...they're both gay.

When the two meet, Matías must face that his heart is bound to another. Ryan must struggle with the thought that being true to himself might cost him everything. Oh, and Ryan doesn't know that Matías is a dragon shifter, so that's going to be a surprise.

Wonderful

This was a interesting read. There is a twist to the storyline that makes it intriguing. The characters Ryan and Matias are a interesting match and I enjoyed there journey to a wonderful ending. Can’t wait for more.

Living truthfully

Matias and Ryan have a lot of chemistry going for them, along with plenty of misconceptions and incomplete knowledge. Their road is certainly bumpy and this story includes more humans than usual, along with a few Fae. I’m guessing the series will move in a new direction from here based on the ending tease. I’ve enjoyed listening to these books and Aaron Ross does a good job.

Interesting story with good narration

This is part of a series, but stands on its own quite well.
Matias is a dragon waiting to meet his fated mate. He meets Ryan and is stunned to find that his fated mate is engaged to someone else!
Once the whole misunderstanding is worked out, there's still so e family drama to get through.
Ryan and Matias were good to and for each other, even though they were an unlikely couple on the surface (a cop and a twinky dragon).
Aaron Ross is new to me and did a good job with the narration. I always knew which character was speaking and he has a nice cadence. Would like to listen to the other books based on his narration.

I love this series!!

I love this world that the author has created!! Mathias is a dragon lord that has waited four thousand years to find his mate only for him to be marrying someone else. Ryan is marring his best friend in order for their parents to leave them alone. They are a beard for one another. When they meet, Mathias realizes what Ryan is to him, but Ryan is human and doesn’t know other than an intense connection, chemistry and insta-love. They have a few obstacles to get thru before they can be together. Aaron Ross does a fantastic job with the narration. Each voice is clear and distinct. Overall, a great story! The story was really well written and kept me engaged, the pacing flowed smoothly, highly recommend.

Such a great addition!

I am absolutely in love with this whole series—the newest addition not disappointing at all! I love how everything for Matthias & Ryan worked out in the end—love conquers all!!

fun listen, keep them coming!

I really like Matias and how we’re introduced to a powerful dragon who just so happens to visually appear as a twink. It’s nice knowing that not all dragons are huge hulking beef cakes. Matias is a sweetheart who I wanted to hug as his first meeting with his mate ended poorly and his confusion and sadness was horrible. Even after finally getting the whole story from Ryan there’s no way a dragon, as possessive as they all are about their mates, and one as powerful as as Matias is as Lord of his circle, would ever willingly go along with their fated mate seeing their plan through. This series is really a lot of fun and I have enjoyed meeting all the new characters along the way. The hint of what is to come next will be seriously interesting. And someone please let poor Zin finally get his mass O-party lol I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.

Love these Dragons!!!

I really love these dragons. I think Matías and Ryan's story is really fun. There are surprises and of course heat (pun intended)! I've really enjoyed this entire series and look forward to any future books. I also really enjoy the narrator. There's something about his voice that pulls me in.

Great listen!

Another great add to the series! I love each couple and personalities. Great chemistry and are beyond hot. This book starts us off one a new trail from the pervious books which had a main plot for a enemy; here we get new mysteries and more things to explore. Aaron Ross is fantastic at bringing them to life! Can't wait for the next.

Best listen

I hope there will be more books. I love them and I can’t wait for more. Please.

Loved It

I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I really got a sense of who Ryan and Matias were and the strong and immediate chemistry they both shared. I also loved a number of the supporting characters and wished I could have seen more of them. I found the world of this story fascinating with the different paranormal beings and powers. This is the first book I've read/listened to by this author and I definitely want to pick up the others from this series. The narrator of this story was Aaron Ross. I'll admit I didn't care for his voice at first. There's just this gritty quality to it that I wasn't a fan of. But it grew on me and I ending up really enjoyed it. And I'm glad to see he narrated other books in this series that I hope to listen to.
