Corin and the Courtier

Beautiful Beasts, Book 1

By: Eliot Grayson

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

Most people run away from ferocious beasts, not headlong into their beds…

Threatened with an arranged marriage to a cruel lord who despises him, Aster claims the protection of the one man no one will dare to challenge: Sir Corin, disgraced dragon knight…and the man Aster's sister betrayed so publicly that he fled the court for a gloomy, isolated mountain hideaway.

But Aster didn't plan to be stranded there with one bed between them—or to give in to years of longing and beg for the monster's forbidden touch.

Corin's no one's hero, not anymore—especially Aster's. But when a royal decree makes Aster the prize for any predatory knight who can defeat him in single combat, Corin can't seem to let him go, even though he knows the price for keeping Aster forever is more than he's willing to pay…

This spicy, steamy, M/M paranormal fantasy romance features a pair of star-crossed opposites, some silliness involving a lack of pants at unexpected moments, plenty of dirty talk, and knotting (but no mpreg). HEA guaranteed.

sexy story and awesome narration

It was a simple but sexy story which I very much enjoyed. Greg B. as narrator was perfection as usual.

Excellent story with amazing narration

Wonderful story. I laughed and cried. Greg Boudreaux s narration takes it even higher. Do yourself a favor and listen!

So much fun

I had no idea what to expect when I picked this up. I chose it for the narrator. This story is so funny and sexy. Corin is sooo grumpy and isolated because he gets cheated on and Aster is such a sweetheart carrying a heavy burden. They are so hot together and Corin is so sweet, yet so salty…like he’s super grumpy, but man does he love Aster.

Dragon knots and a submissive lordly knight what more could you ask for?

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/ 5
With just the right amount of plot.

Although I found Corin’s ex-engagement story to be kind of weak I like that he was humbled (bittered) by the rejection (scandal).

I would have love to see Aster admit his true feelings sooner and have them navigate the line between love and duty rather than secret feelings and duty.

But overall I would give this book a 4.5/5

Mostly Sex

I like this genre of book, but my tastes run to preferring a bit more story. This was my first exposure to this author, and the book was mostly about two characters sexual relationship and the oddities of the dragon. Still, there was enough story to hold my attention and make me want to see how things would turn out in the end. The narrator is one of my favorites and did a great job as usual.
