Resumen del Editor

Destined to save more than just his heart.

The High Dragon

The moment Jaspyr, High Dragon of the y Draig clan, met Avyla he knew she was fated to be his mate. He sensed the magic within her and recognized that she was destined to be his salvation. She would be both his eternal love and guardian of his humanity.

A kind apothecary

But the meek yet strong-willed woman harbored doubt that a commoner such as she could be with, much less love, such a powerful man. Avyla did not know of the magic within her and had never experienced true love before. Though it may have been her destiny, Avyla's heart was hesitant.

Danger from within

Not all dragons find their mates, which leaves Jaspyr and the others of his clan with the task of hunting them down once their humanity vanishes. When one of his clan falls to the insanity shortly after Avyla’s arrival, a battle wages that not only endangers the draconic shifters and their mates, but also produces a crucible where the bonds of love are tested and forged.

Phenomenal Narration

Destined for the Dragon, the third book in the Ballads of Cadarnle series is an entertaining and enjoyable, dragon-shifter romance. The storyline is intriguing about a dragon-shifter who is searching for his true mate. The main characters, Jaspyr and Avyla, are charming and engaging with a sizzling connection.

Curt Bonnem does a phenomenal job with the narration, immersing the listener further into the story. His inflections are precise, knowing when and how to change his tone. He is a very talented narrator, and I just loved his performance.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Thank you for the audio

Thank you for the audio, I voluntarily give this an honest review. Curt Bonnem did a fantastic job Narrating this book. this was a great book with many different types of creatures. Jaspyr is now the high dragon after the death of his father. Mistaking Avyla for a third was not the way he invissioned meeting his mate. can he convinced her of the mistake he made? can she trust him? this was a great listen and so full of adventurous twists.

made me a fan of dragon shifter books

I'll be honest, I never really have given a dragon shift book a read. One just never peaked my interest. I am so glad that I gave this book a chance. I really enjoyed this story. Jaspyr is a dragon shifter and he has to find his mate. He finds her in Avyla. At first he thinks she is trespasser after his treasure but soon sees her true nature. Now he has to figure out how to show her that he isn't the scary dragon she thinks he is. Watching these two fall in love was so sweet. I love that even though Jaspyr is a scary dragon to those he doesn't know him, we saw the real side of him. Anyone could relate. I loved Avyla's sweet nature. They are a perfect pair. My favorite character, though, was Avyla pet raccoon Baxter. He cracked me up! I will definitely give more dragon shifter books a chance after this one. This narrator also did a great job with the different characters. I never once thought about how it was one person doing all the voices. A must read/listen.

Intense action

A J Ryder has written a book filled with action, dragon shifters, magical creatures, intense love, and even a raccoon. Jaspyr know that Avyla is his fated mate but she has her doubts. The author guides the listener on her journey of self discovery of her love for Jaspyr and the special powers she possesses. This book is filled with love. Curt Bonnem is an amazing storyteller. He makes the listener a part of the story. His deep commanding voice is perfect for Jaspyr. I received this Audible book and voluntarily wrote this unbiased review. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Dragons

What can I say. Dragons finding their intended mate. Dwarf finding his 2nd love. Dragon going crazy. Raccoon pet. Lots to love. Action and love mingled together.

🎧 Audio obsession

Good dragon romance

Sweet romance with some spice. A little slow, but entertaining. Focus is mainly on the romance. Loved the dragon shifter aspect. I listened to the audio version on Audible. Narrator did good; he’s a little formal, but a clear performance. The story feels medieval, so I suppose the narration works. The story and characters are a bit old-fashion.

Jaspyr really wants to find a mate; he’s been searching for years. If his kind doesn’t find a mate before they turn 100, they begin to go mad and become very dangerous. Luckily, Avyla stumbles upon his treasure trove. Unfortunately, she’s a bit hesitant to the idea of being a dragon’s mate and there’s a dragon nearing his 100th year, so danger is afoot.

Loved that both dragon and mate need to be virgins; it’s nice that it’s not just the females. Avyla and Jaspyr are cute together. Enjoyed Avyla’s work as an apothecary and the magical aspects to the story. I didn’t read the previous books, but I don’t think it’s needed. I followed along just fine.

Overall, an enjoyable dragon romance.

I haven't read the previews book nor listened to them but it is a standalone and i was able to follow the story.
Magic and dragons,raccons and love all bundled into one book.
I enjoyed the story though at times i had troubles with the heavy accent the narrator had which made it a bit difficult for me to follow .
Still i really enjoyed it.

BOOK 3

This audio book was a very good Shifter love story. In the mist of Dragon clan problems a strong bond is formed. A love so strong that no one can brake I totally enjoyed listening.
