The Mate

De: Abigail Owen

Narrado por: Brian Pallino, Melissa Moran

Maddie Thompson’s life just fell down a rabbit hole. Finding out she's a dragon shifter was one thing - she never quite fit into the human world, and this new reality feels...strangely right. However, discovering the next step is to choose a mate, and if she chooses wrong, she'll die, is the other side of crazy - especially when she already left a piece of her heart with someone who didn't want it.

To say dragon enforcer Fallon Conleth was shocked when the Mating Council summoned him as a potential mate for a newly found dragon doesn’t quite cover it. A mate is rare and precious, and many dragons never find theirs. Fallon isn’t sure he’s worthy of the honor, not when so many deserve it more. He’ll just go through the motions and return home alone...until he sees Maddie. The human woman he reluctantly let walk away.

Fallon already broke Maddie's heart once, but if he can't convince her that they're meant to be, she'll die...and he won't be far behind.

loved these dragons

I cant wait to read the rest of this series. These are fire breathing dragons at their best.

Dangerous Situation

Fallon has been called to a mating match. He’s still hung up with a human but he has to go because of politics. He’s surprised it’s Maddie. Now he has to win her heart in a dangerous game. Maddie has to be strong to find out so much about herself that she didn’t know. She has to understand her feelings and choose in a life or death situation. Add in trouble from the outside and there is danger all around. This is a nail biter. #CMCom26

I enjoyed this!

This is the first book I’ve read by Abigail Owen and I thought it was great. It was a nice introduction to her writing. I enjoyed the narration by Brian Palino and Melissa Moran. The blurb does a great job of describing the story so I’ll just say that this short novella really packed a punch and now I want to move on to the next book in the series.

Swoony and exciting start to the series

I loved this prequel to the Fire’s Edge series. Fallon is a blue dragon healer who is on an enforcer fire fighting team in the Americas. He has been called by the mating council to be part of the mating process for a recently discovered blue dragon mate. Maddie was a fire investigator when she started to show dragon sign by emitting sparks. Fallon and Maddie met prior to the mating council but separated when Fallon, unaware that she was a dragon mate, realized he was having too many feelings for a human. Now Fallon will do anything so she chooses him as her mate. Despite being short, the story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, good world building, and an engaging storyline as told through sweet moments, steam, chuckles, painful pasts, slight danger, plot twists, and love. I am excited to read more in this series.

Brian Pallino and Melissa Moran did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I really love the added dimension listening brings to a story.

Inproving the storyline.

This audible book was ok.it just takes to long to get to the good psrts.But it finally got to the good parts at the end.
