Resumen del Editor

Contains books two and three of the Scales 'n' Spells series.

Breath, book two

A Mage’s List for Freedom:

1. Escape his evil, controlling clan.
2. Get a job.
3. Work magic on his terms.
4. Avoid all dragons.

Tori was doing great until sexy dragon Baldewin interfered. Between the little gifts, constant protection, and the steadfast confidence from the overgrown lizard, Tori wonders if maybe that last step needs revising. He has no chance to consider it. Not before trouble called Jaeggi really hits. Now, he’s on the road trip from hell to the one place he’d never thought would be a safe haven. A clan of dragons. Assuming they make it, that is.

Wish, book three

North has a map of Europe, a dragon scale, and a little bit of magic. He’s currently short a dragon, but all in good time, right? Right. Because he can totally dodge dangerous men and frustrated calls from his family, all while searching for a dragon during the Christmas season. He’s got this. Christmas wishes do come true with a little magic, after all.

Places

Joel is one of my fave narrators. loved the real locations, for those so inclined: Sonthofen, Germany; Nuorgam, Sodankyla, Kuusomo, and Utsjoki Finland. The Ordensburg (from book 1) is in Sonthofen, just south of the Kurpatk.

Loved it!!!

I loved both stories !! Not even gunna attempt to spell out their names lol but my favorite was the second book in this bundle. Short and sweet.
Joel Leslie is a master! He is doing a wonderful job at. Narrating with all these accents!!

fun series

I cant wait till the other books in the series make it to audio book

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: I enjoyed both Breath and Wish - they're good additions to the overarching story, their characters are likeable, the pace was good and the world building continues to develop and entertain.

🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie is a master voice actor and he captures these characters perfectly. His voices are consistent from book 1, he has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish all the characters from each other. Overall an excellent performance and he's done a delightful job bringing this world to life.

Amazing!!! Best dragon audiobook of the year!

These two stories are fantastic! The first has such an intricate and detailed plot that it is like an action/adventure movie in your head! The second is a bit shorter, so less explosions, but still excellent story building. Both are amazing in their characters, believability, amazing chemistry, great push/pull without having tortuous angst (a huge plus to me!) and are so fun! Joel Leslie always makes me happy, but he goes above and beyond in this audiobook. Seriously- there are always little pet peeves I have to ignore in audiobooks, however, there was nothing in this story that bugged me! Characters are German and Finnish- I watch a lot of foreign tv, and from what I can tell, the accents are spot on without being overdone/fake! Even better is the fact that the narration between conversations is done in an English accent. It makes each character stand out, so no matter where you start in the book you can understand who is speaking. Two thumbs up, six out of five stars, 150%, A++

Fabulous!

Another fabulous two books in this series. I loved the narration as well, he was so animated and just brought the story to life. Highly recommended!

I like this series

the first book is all over the place however this serious this book is really nice I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for the next one and I also like the first book as well I just thought it jumped too much oh and yes it is one of my newest favorite series I can't wait for the next one

Wondering Series

Great writing, great narrator (Thank you Joel Leslie). Could not stop listening to these books. I definitely will be looking for more books by AJ Sherwood and Jocelyn Drake.

Sigh...

This was a full book and a short story in the same audio, so I will review it as separate stories.

Breath was about an older mage who left his village due to the homophobic and anti-male mage feelings of the clan. He ran away to a big city and of course got noticed by the bad mages. Baldewin shows up and after a really bad first meeting, started wooing him with food and socks. Surprisingly this worked and they end up together 'cause they were mates. The kings of the Ice and Fire clans go out to meet the clan that Tori came from, end up saving them from the evil mages, and start a dialogue with them.

Tori was a virgin and they end up living with a HEA.

Wish was about a young mage from the southern United States who hunts down the dragons and ends up finding Warin. I'm going to spoil the story by telling yall that they are actually mates and fall for each other instantly.

North was raised by parents who did not like that he was femme and gay. They wanted him to marry a girl and work in the business and to stop looking for dragons. His grandfather was the only one who supported him.

North was also a virgin and they end up living with a HEA.

Love these authors

I really enjoy the worlds, love and humor in this series. Dragons are awesome too
