Publisher's Summary

Lexi Eden's life has always revolved around helping others in need. So when all her romantic relationships end in disaster, she blames it on trying to fix men who don't want to be fixed. Enter Clacher. He's big, bad, and tattooed all over. And he's got a tongue piercing that's making her biggest wet dreams come true.

Clacher Drachen has hope he will find love one day, even though the last time he loved a woman she disappeared. Or maybe she left him on purpose. Lexi's sexy, funny, and a genuinely kind soul. In his heart, she's the one for him. Just one taste of her and he's addicted. He knows exactly what he wants: a family and a lifetime of dirty loving with the curvy empath.

News that Lexi is a Drachen mate comes as a surprise to all, but Clacher is sure she's still his. Keeping her might not be so difficult if he could just find a way to protect her from the never-ending evil determined to destroy her.

Unnecessary music

Pls no 🎶🎵 between chapters. Annoying. Deleted the rest of the audio back to kindle

Ummmm Huh...

This is the second book in the Drachen Mates Series. I was willing to give the series a chance despite the problems and issues with book 1 but this will be the end of the series for me. Not only was I annoyed with the strange mystical music in between chapters but the whole premises of the story has large holes. Read in relation with book 1 and the holes make the series unbelievable. I'm a fan of Milly Taiden's other series but this one seems rushed and not well thought out. I'm also not a fan of how the author took a strong independent female character and reduced her to a baby making machine. It really turned me off the main character's love story that he only wanted to see her barefoot and pregnant. Overall there are other series worth your time and money.

Music sucks

The story is great the music is horrible and placed inappropriately literally interrupting the first sex scene between the heroine and hero because the chapter shifted or the viewpoint shifted it completely destroys the flow of the book and I absolutely love Milly Taidens style and Characters

Great writing, not so great performance.

I love this series. The characters are unique and I really love that the series is focused on Dragon Shifters. Lexi and Clacher are an interesting couple. A centuries old dragon shifter who is also a tattoo artist and a generous woman who runs a woman's shelter and multiple charities who is also a tattoo enthusiast with rainbow hair. I really enjoyed learning their story and seeing them get their HEA. The author did a really good job writing the story.

The narrator, well... do you remember that seriously obnoxious tone of voice that Nicholas Cage used in Face-Off when he was playing the bad guy before the switch with Travolta, well... that's what the narrator of this book reminds me of. It may be just me, but it drove me a bit batty. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just one character who he gave that voice to, but he used a varied version of it for all the male characters. I'm not a fan. However, I did like his version of the female voices. They were a bit more varied than the males and they didn't sound anything like N.C.!

The story get 5*s, the narration get 3*s, for an overall of 4*s.

glad this was part of my Audible Escape package

the story was ok- something to listen to while I work- the short chapters with music between each was very annoying like a bad b movie

That music again.

Clacher and Lexi were meant to meet. Their past was not going to dictate their future but it was trying to repeat itself. Another installment in this dragon tale that hat a surprise of layering to the story.

Don’t like that music in between the chapters.

Another Sexy Dragon

I love this series of dragon shifters. The narrator does a superb job of making the book come to life. I am looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

What’s up with the music?

Fun story, great characters, wonderful narrator but what the heck is up with the music in between chapters?! It’s annoyingly synthesized notes placed jarringly in between each chapter that distract you from the story. I felt myself frowning at these moments as I listened today.

A scorcher!!!

This series keeps getting hotter and better!! Please keep them coming (wink,wink), Ms. Taiden!!! You absolutely ROCK!!!

Meh

Can’t really tell you why but I just lost interest. Usually milly taiden thrills me. But the drachen series is just to predictable and angstie

another winner from Milly

I loved this. the continuation from the first but also al good story in it's own right. Lexi and Clasher meet when she takes one of her shelter ladies into his shop for a job. this sparks a series of events leading to love and romance mixed in with danger.
a good read (listen) that delivered a good story.
looking forward to the next one
