What a Dragon Should Know

Dragon Kin Series, Book 3

By: G. A. Aiken

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

Only for those I love would I traipse into the merciless Northlands to risk life, limb, and my exquisite beauty. But do they appreciate it? Do they say, "Gwenvael the Handsome, you are the best among us - the most loved of all dragons?" No! For centuries my family has refused to acknowledge my magnificence, as well as my innate humility. Yet for them, and because I am so chivalrous, I will brave the worst this land has to offer.

So here I stand, waiting to broker an alliance with the one the Northlanders call the Beast. A being so fearful, the greatest warriors will only whisper its name. Yet I, Gwenvael, will courageously face down this terrifying...woman? It turns out the Beast, a.k.a. Dagmar Reinholdt, is a woman - one with steel-gray eyes and a shocking disregard for my good looks. Beneath her plain robes and prim spectacles lies a sensual creature waiting to be unleashed. Who better than a dragon to thaw out that icy demeanor?

And who better than a beast to finally tame a mighty dragon's heart?

Critic reviews

"The wonderfully wacky and perverse nature of Aiken's stories and characters are guaranteed to produce laughs." (RT Book Reviews)

I enjoyed this story

I will not tell a lie I enjoyed these series, I found all the Dragon Kin books narrated by Hollie Jackson hilarious great and I love the way Hollie made each person distinctive and I like the lighthearted approach to everything. The only thing I do not like is the way the women all the women are always insulted by family and enemies alike(slut, cow, sow, and bitch) yet the men get nothing at all. I know some of the insults are made with no malice (especially between the women of the family) intended but it was annoying.

The Best Twist on A Beauty and the Beast Ever!

If you've reached the third book of this series, you know what to expect...and you get that and more, when the Beauty...er....Handsomest of Dragons meets his match when he finds a bespectacled and unassuming, but oh so very dangerous, Beast.

My favorite in the series!

This story is fun, funny, fast paced, and intricately woven together. It continues building this universe and its characters. I'm looking forward to the next book already.

Laugh

I think this book in the series has been my favorite. I’ve laughed so much.

Excellent Story - painful narrator

I really hate to leave bad reviews, but the only reason I’m sticking with this series & this narrator is because the author is so wonderful. I totally loved this story. The characters can be so funny. However, the narrator is sometimes very hard to listen to. Her reading is at times so stilted & character voices sometimes just strange. I DO recommend this book & series - but know that it can be annoying to listen to
