Publisher's summary

One cursed queen. Three dragons. And a formidable fae demigod. A reverse harem with a dark fairy tale twist and an epic flair! My name is Daisy. I've been cursed to serve a bad-tempered elemental in my beastly form for centuries.

There's only one way to lift the curse: a kiss from three true loves. To garner even one is nearly impossible. How am I going to get three?

Then three gorgeous-as-sin, yet clueless dragon princes stumble into my lair. Only they do not come to kiss me. They come to slay me without knowing who I really am. Unless they cut the three heads of the Furies - my heads - or make the Fury Queen fall in love with them, they'll never shift back to dragons.

Not surprisingly, the princes all choose what they think is the easiest - to behead the beasts.

Enjoyable start to this series

I really enjoyed this book & I'm going to continue with book 2. I liked the foreshadowing & it gives excitment for a potentially wonderful series. No intense CH, but there's an eagerness to find out what will happen next!

My only issue was the narrator. I'm not fully certain if her microphone or recording equipment had an echo or if she has a nasally tone that makes people who talk like that sound like there's a constant snort in their voice. Either way, I found it irritatingly distracting. Many times I had to rewind or restart chapters because that sound made it hard to listen to the story. It was that distracting to me. Why is there so little disregard for wanting to do your job well when narrating? If only every narrator took pride in their work to sound check their work, make seamless edits, avoid irritating tones, & eliminate making unnecessary inflections/tones at the end of sentences, there'd be very rare customer complaints.

Sorry to rant, but this is my biggest issue with a lot of audio books...whoever selects a narrator to use for a book needs an additional contract line that permits refusal to use a recording if it's not up to a predefined standard. Reviews matter, so when I see too many complaints on poor narration, I don't buy that audio book, regardless if the story sounds incredible. I'm held to a standard in my profession & any negative deviation can cause irreparable damage to a client. I don't understand how many narrators are fine with attaching their name to such low standards when their performance significantly impacts an audio book's success.

I received the audio in part of Audiobook boom and the view is my own

Different.. but worth listening to 🎧

The narrator was on point! I also enjoyed the story. This is the first time I've listened to a book by this author. I will definitely be listening to part two of this series once it's available. As well as checking out other books by this author. I was pleasantly surprised.

Fury Queen

Another amazing audiobook delivered by one of my favorite narrators. Narration was amazing as usual, no surprises there. Even though I am her biggest fan when she reads comedy, I did enjoy this book.

As far as the story goes, I liked it. It's entertaining, but so far it didn't blow me away and while the start was very very promising, it was a little messy towards the ending, feeling somewhat rushed. But an entertaining read nonetheless.

Another HIT!

The Fury Queen's Harem by Meg Xuemei X is the first in a completed series. We get to meet Daisy, one very cursed princess. Then we get to meet her harem, a group of 3 cursed dragon princes.
Curses abound in this story, and everyone has a different one.
We have dragons, monsters, elves, vampires, demons and demigods just to name a few.
If fantasy is what you are looking for, then this is the book to dive into.

A fiery read!

One cursed queen...
Three dragons...
And a formidable fae demigod...

3.5 Stars

Overall Rating ★★★★

Characters & Character Development ★★★
Narration ★★★★★

Story: Daisy & Dragon Princes Rai, Blaze, and Iokul - The beginning of the book was a bit scattered and full of too much information about different species without getting a clear picture of what was going on. Nevertheless, this story kept me entertained throughout. I can't wait to see what happens next and find out more about the guys and their curse. It was a bit rushed. I liked Daisy and I also liked the guys although they were immature at times. I don't particularly care for guys in stories who try to protect the main female character to the point of them dictating everything she does. Honestly, she'd been taking care of herself for years and she had powerful creatures who were friends of hers and also care for her. The guys are going to have to calm down and let her do her thing because she is powerful. I can't wait to see how things are with her powers in the next book. I also hope that the romance aspect and sex scenes a bit better in the next book. I also want to know more about Elvey.

Narration: Melissa Schwairy - Absolutely love her. She's great with the guy voices and with the emotions in her tone.

Great first book in the Series!

This is the first book in The Cursed Dragon Queen and Her Mates. I love Meg Xuemei X's writing. This is a great fantasy reverse harem romance, with a fury queen and her three pure-blood dragon Princes. The story is captivating, action packed, and steamy. Daisy and her three pure-blood dragon Princes. Daisy, Rai, Blaze and Elvey, share a sizzling chemistry. I love their adventure! The story has a great world building. Now, I can't wait for the next book in the Series. Melissa Schwairy did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Fury Queen's Harem

What a nice way to spend a day! I enjoyed listening very much. Daisy is a smart and strong heroine and her princes are suitably macho.
Elvey is definitely intriguing. Let me tell ya, the story certainly carries some steam and also leaves off on a bit of a cliffhanger so keep that in mind when reading. The narration is terrific. All in all I think you will enjoy this book!

Fun, exciting book.

It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities.
2 there are redeeming qualities.
3 good worth reading, or well written but not my cup of tea.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.
