Publisher's Summary

Vampire Second Devin Davis has met his beloved. Raised in a family filled with fighting, Devin never wanted to meet his mate and potentially suffer the same fate. Roarke is gorgeous, sexy as sin, and pushes all of Devin’s buttons. But he’s a dragon...a dragon who can get his male mate pregnant.

Dragon Duke Roarke MacNair has always longed to meet his fated mate. He desires someone who would stand by him, protect him, and take charge in the bedroom. Someone like Vampire Second Devin Davis. Only Devin seems to have reservations. Roarke has been patient with his fated mate, but time might not be on their side....

Roarke’s father wants him to mate with a neighboring Dragon Circle Leader. Perhaps fate made a mistake. Can Devin put aside his past for a chance at love? Will Roarke be able to stand up to his domineering father? Can love really win against all odds?

Devin 💕Rourke

Thoughts

I absolutely love these series. The romances are so sweet and compassionate and the endings are always heart warming. Even in hard times and turmoil in my life I can always catch myself smiling listening to them. 💙

Great story

I liked both Devin and Rourke from the first book and I´m so happy that they got their own. And with a lot of struggle to accept a fated mate bond they finally made it. I like this series because it´s different couple in the books but the story continues from de book before!

Aaron did a great job narrating this book!

Devin and Roark

I have read this book and enjoyed it so much so I wanted to hear it. The narrator is terrific, so sexy sounding and I could definitely tell the difference in characters by him using different voices. Devin and Roark have been knowing that they were fated mates for a long time, but not only did they want to know each other better before mating, they were vampire and dragon. And both held high positions within each their kind. Add in the mate of the dragon having a baby or two and a life threatening injury and that explains why they waited. But once they decided to claim each other, it was fast and furious.

I am a big fan of CK Noel and try to grab my hands on everything they do. I was given the opportunity to receive an ARC of this audio and am voluntarily leaving a review.

great listen

I really enjoyed this story. I have not read anything by this author before so I was very excited to give it a try. I love Dragon books and Vampire stories so when I saw that my two favorites collided I was so stoked. It's not often you get this pairing together. This author did a great job with it. The narrator was good and I enjoyed the way they told the story. I cant wait for another book in this series.

Choosing family

I enjoyed hearing how Devin and Roarke came to balance each other out so well and became real partners. This story was as fast paced as the first, but went in a very different direction, by bringing many more dragons, as well as the council into the mix. The dialogue was still awkward in places, but better overall and the narrator did a nice job voicing the characters and providing distinction between them along with the brogue. I’m certainly interested in listening to more of these books.

Dragons are still my favorite!

I love dragons (I've mentioned a few times in previous reviews), and I am absolutely loving this series! This book is mostly about Devin and Roarke, but there are continuing storylines from the first book. I would recommend reading them in order for maximum enjoyment. For this book specifically, I like seeing Devin accept the bond with Roarke, and I like that we get to meet Roarke's family. I'm also really liking the narrator, and I hope. he does the future books in the series!

Perfection!!

This was absolutely perfect! Not only was the story itself on-point but the narrator was great distinguishing between characters and the inflection for the different scenes was exactly what the book needed to be brought to life!

Great

Enjoyable and exciting. This story has a little bit of everything from a arranged mating to a vampire lover. This was action packed and full of adventures. Devin is a vampire and Roarke is a dragon and these too are smoking hot. They have there difficulties but get a great ending. The narration was great.

I love dragons

I already liked the first volume, so I was happy to see that the next volume is available as an audiobook. Devin and Roarke are a wonderful couple who have some difficulties thrown their way. However, are are fated mates and because of that they fight for each other and build a relationship.
The book is short, but fantasy lovers will enjoy it : it's about dragons, vampires, about the council, but also about partnership, family and friendship. I enjoyed the story.

Aaron Ross has a pleasant, charismatic voice that I enjoyed listening to. He speaks clearly, has a pleasant speaking pace, and also reads emotionally. However, sometimes I couldn't quite distinguish the characters clearly.
Overall, an enjoyable and entertaining book - I'm already looking forward to the next volume!

Great addition

CK Noel did a great job expanding the world we got to know with characters that you want to follow. Can not wait to learn more about the other characters. Aaron Ross did a nice job with the narration. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Devin’d Dragon Duke

What an interesting twist on fated mates. I enjoyed the listen. I'm invested in the characters and their none too easy journey together. The narration was good with good accents.

The dragon and the vampire

I’m always intrigued by the concept of fated mates. Ok, so there’s one person you’re destined to be with forever. Cool. A dragon and a vampire? Ok, didn’t see that coming. And, in this world, the dragon can make the vampire pregnant? Wow.

The author is so creative in the world they’ve created and I’ve become invested in the characters. I wanted Devin and Roarke to find their happy ending, even if that seemed in doubt.

Aaron Ross did a great job of narrating and I especially liked his Scottish accent. Can’t wait for more of these books.

Great story!

This is a wonderful book and a great addition to the series! Devin and Rourke are amazing together and I enjoyed so much, how they built a relationship in spite all the obstacles in their way. Regarding the narration, this is the first book I have heard narrated by Mr Ross, but it was a nice surprise. His management of the story was amazing and I loved his charismatic voice and agile narration. An outstanding performance!

So good

I need more of this series, it is amazing, I loved the drama of their relationship but also the overall storyline that continues in this book. However my favourite part was certainly the love that the main characters have for each other. This is a fantastic level of steam book and it contains an amazing storyline as well.

A Worthwhile Wait.

MM. Mpreg, Shifter, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance. The second book in the series and best read in series order due to background story continuing through the series. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, there are lots of twists and turns and action and drama throughout as well as lots of steam. Narration by Aaron Ross who does an absolutely fantastic scotch accent. Guaranteed HEA.

Thank you GRR

This is the third new author on the trot, and I love the diversity of the books that I have been given, and this one is no exception.

New author and narrator and what a story, we have Dragons and Vampires, fated mates and HEA, with a whole lot of drama in between.

Good narration from Aaron Ross, but I did speed up on Audible which is ususal for me, but clear and concise. Will be looking for the next book in the series.

I received this audiobook for free from GRR at my request. My review is my opinion and an honest review - neither the author nor GRR influenced my opinion.

Sweet and steamy

Devin and Rourke had a rather interesting journey to their HEA. It was easy but their love and bond remained strong and true until the end.
