By: C.K. Noel

Narrated by: Aaron Ross

Krispin Adair has been alone for years. After his family was killed by his brother in the ultimate betrayal, Krispin accepted his lonely fate. Until a chance encounter brought him face to face with his fated mate...

Ben Morgan, on the trail of a rogue gargoyle, finds himself in an ambush. Attacked and left for dead, he knows there’s no hope for him. But when he wakes, he finds himself face to face with his Beloved and an ultimatum; if he wants to live, he must bond with the dragon king...and bear his son.

While the pair are making things work, they learn that Ben’s attack was just the start of something bigger - a war between the species. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an old shadow emerges with one wish - destroy all dragons. Can they stop the war?

A magical paranormal romance

I absolutely loved Krispin and Ben's story.

This was a short novella, but had so much going for it, that I was sad when it ended so soon


I absolutely loved the chemistry between the characters and the plot was interesting and full of mystery and intrigue.

I am definitely looking forward to the next in this series.

The narration was enjoyable as well!

Fantastic

I loved this book. Aaron truly breathes life into these characters. I didn’t want it to end!

Love dragons!

I love dragons so this was a must have for me. This is a new to me author, and I definitely want more. This book mostly tells the story of Krispin (Kris) and his mate Ben. There is a lot of world building and the possibility for many other stories. I love the world the author has created with supernatural beings of many types.

Great book and narration

The Dragon King's Heart is the first book in this series. The book follows the story of Vampire Ben and Dragon Krispin. The book is filled with supernatural creatures, mpreg, great world-building, and good secondary characters as well. The book is short, but an overall good read with some steamy scenes. I liked that the antagonist was a gargoyle, which is something different. The book is well written and fantastically narrated in this audiobook.

I enjoyed this book; it was fun!

#ARC received from GRR

It was a delight listening to the two main characters before they met. Ben Morgan is a vampire, and Krispin Adair or Kris is a dragon. In this world, dragons have not existed for a long time, and Kris is the last dragon King; this changes later. When both of the characters meet for the first time, Ben is dying from an attack by a gargoyle. So Kris has to mate him; it's not entirely consensual, but they are fated mates, so it's okay. The interaction between Ben and Kris was so cute! When Ben first finds out Kris is a dragon and that he'll be carrying their baby, he's so shocked; it's funny. Ben and Kris are the definitions of a lovey-dovey couple. Still, I enjoyed hearing them come to life by the narrator. This audiobook was the first time I listened to this narrator; he does a good job. Despite the love between Ben and Kris, there is a plot surrounding why Ben was attacked in the first place, but the main focus is on the two main characters.
