Barbarian Prince

Dragon Lords, Book 1 (Anniversary Edition)

De: Michelle M. Pillow

Narrado por: Mason Lloyd

Breaking up was never so hard...

Going undercover at a mass wedding as a bartered bride, Morrigan Blake has every intention of getting off the barbaric planet just as soon as it's over. Or, more correctly, just as soon as she captures footage of the mysterious princes rumored to be in attendance. After a euphoric night, Morrigan discovers her spaceship left without her, and Ualan of Draig is claiming she's his wife. It's not exactly the story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse, the all-too-seductive alpha refuses to take no for an answer.

Being cursed by the gods was never so frustrating...

Prince Ualan is prepared to follow dragonshifter tradition and marry the woman revealed to him during the Breeding Festival. When the stubborn, yet achingly sexy, Morrigan refuses to accept their shared fate and his supreme authority over her, it is all he can do to keep from acting like the barbarian she accuses him of being.

About the series: The dragon shifting Princes have no problem with commitment. In one night, they will meet and choose their life mate in a simplistic ceremony involving the removing of masks and the crushing of crystals. With very few words spoken and the shortest, most bizarre courtship in history, they will bond to their women forever. And once bonded, these men don't let go. Too bad nobody explained this to their brides.

Dragon Lords-Barbarian Prince Anniversary Edition

What made the experience of listening to Barbarian Prince the most enjoyable?

I have read the original and anniversary editions of The Barbarian Prince and really loved the book. I found listening to the audible version brought a different light to the story, it is a great story both to read and listen to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Although the Ualan is a very swoonworthy hero I really loved Morrigan's personality. She is not only a career woman she is also independent, strong, pretty and spirited.Loved her inner dialogue and perspective while formulating an undercover story as an Intergalactic reporter. She has no hesitation getting the full "bride experience" because she views the whole marriage as temporary. She never saw a gorgeous,hot alpha prince picking her as his bride, nor her reaction to his claiming.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The pace was well done, with audible if you feel need to speed up or slow down the narration. As talented as this narrator is his male accents were often sounding like Eastern European in origin. I really felt a female voice would have suited this story so much better.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were many moments in the book I really enjoyed. I always love the often humerous Galaxy Bride trip to the Qurilxian planet, and the Breeding Festival is always exciting and very sensual.I also love when Morrigan realizes her place is to stay with Ualan and chooses him over her undercover story. Despite the bumpy road their story they make a great couple.

Any additional comments?

This is the first book in an awesome series. It sets up many of the characters,unique ustoms and rituals that will appear throughout the series as well as developing this phenomenal world that Michelle Pillow has created. There is lots of romance, hot sexy scenes, adventure and humor to make this a great listening experience.

Caution: There be dragons afoot

I didn't know what to expect when I started listening to this. The story line was imaginative and had many surprises in store for the ladies looking for a husband. The brides did not know the men were dragon shifters and that some of their traditions were cave man like. But the ladies showed some backbone the men were not expecting. The only thing I did not like was the word used for the women's happy zone. Overall I enjoyed it.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

interesting

What did you love best about Barbarian Prince?

I love that it has my fave shifters, dragons, and it is the reason I picked this up. Interesting mix of the futuristic and shifter with a medieval feel to it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ualan of Draig is my fave character, the warrior with a tender heart. Even though Morrigan hurt him so many times, he is so good to her. I also loved the Queen.

Which scene was your favorite?

My fave scene was almost at the end when they were in the closet and she is communicating with her editor.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not at the beginning, but as it went on, made me want to just sit and listen. to find out what is next. I listened while in the car, while cooking...

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to listen to more on the series with this narrator. Great voice. He did a wonderful job with Ualan and most other characters, but I feel that needed more emotion with Morrigan's voice especially in the love scenes. What she said and what she sounded like didn't quite match.
