Corin and the Courtier

Beautiful Beasts, Book 1

De: Eliot Grayson

Narrado por: 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.

Great Narration!

I loved the story but it was too short. The narration was really good. The story had me wanting more adventures with the main characters. All around a good listen.

Wonderful, Sexy, Funny!

So I don't know how I bought this book and it sat on my To-read for like half a year? It has everything I want, and it made me aware of exactly what I like. I like dragons a whole damn lot. I usually like supernatural stories but I have yet to find a story over dragons that I didn't salivate over.

Next, I like a constant sexual energy. Because I am shameless perv, I don't read anything but gay stories with sex and this was explicit and plentiful as promised and in between the meager plot I got the idea that sex was soon on the horizon.

i like plots that are more emotional than windy- no mistake, I'll read a damn good plot, especially mystery, but I fall more easily for emotional conflict.

I love, love, love me a possessive, animalistic partner somewhere in the mix. Awful and toxic but the other partner is almost always super into it- and Aster is into iiit.

I love Greg Boudreaux, his delivery and intonation is everything. Perfect for a sexy, funny HEA. How I missed this I have no idea. So, this book had everything I could ever want. Can't wait for the next book and I'm already sad there's only one more.

Make sure you have headphones

Perfect amount of story and smut and the smut was magnificent. I love this author and this was another A+. I can’t wait for the next in the series !

Cute!

The story was predictable with nearly every cliché, while being incredibly sweet and cute. It was definitely an enjoyable and even addicting listen. I can't wait to continue the series. I guess it's like the equivalent of a really good B-movie. The Narrator was wonderful too.

Well damn!

I didn't expect that many hours of spice but was pleasantly surprised. The sexual chemistry between these two characters is fantastic. I loved the plot and the ending too. I'm really hope there's a sequel to this with Jules.

Overall a sweet storyline

This was a new author and readers for me. It had my attention and the readers were easy on my ears.

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
