Publisher's summary

Nikki Gray has reason to hate the dragon hunters - they brutally murdered one of her friends a year ago. Not only that, they have caused havoc on several of the British dragon clans, injuring countless individuals. Determined to defeat the hunters by kidnaping their leader, Simon Bourne, she teams up with a human male in the British Special Forces. After six months of work, they're finally ready to carry out their mission and capture Bourne. However, one kiss derails their plans and changes their lives forever.

At the request of his sister, Rafe Hartley agrees to work with the dragon-shifters. After all, the dragon hunters are a pain in his arse and the fewer of them, the better. The woman assigned as his Stonefire liaison, however, is the same one he hurt four years ago in Afghanistan. Pushing aside their past, they learn to work together. Yet with each passing encounter, he is drawn to the lively, stubborn woman. He finally gives in to his attraction and kisses the dragonwoman. What follows turns his life upside down.

Rafe and Nikki must now decide what to do with their futures. Can they still work together and find a way to capture Simon Bourne? Or, will their fated kiss result in a divide that can't be healed?

Good narration

The narrators accent makes the story good. I think it is funny though to hear him portray a female dragon even if it is supposed to be serious.
Rafe and Niki make a great couple. They are always arguing with each other until that first kiss, then the mating frenzy kicks in. Since they are so passionate in everything they do, they bring that passion into their relationship. What the decide to so once Niki is pregnant is up in the air.
The dragon hunters make an appearance as normal. They must track down the one responsible. The new prime minister is about to be sworn in too. Who will it be?

The Title is Perfect.

What made the experience of listening to Surrendering to the Dragon the most enjoyable?

I have listened to several of Jessie Donovan's Dragon stories after having read the book some time before listening. Once again, I loved it. Matthew Lloyd Davies is excellent with all the voices, including the dragon, who in this book is a female.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think her dragon, and especially if I can include Nickki since they are in the same body.

Any additional comments?

As always Ms. Donovan has gifted us with another can't-put-down-audio When I read the blurb I couldn't figure out how one lousy (or in this case hot as heck) kiss could change lives. Now I know. And ain't it grand? These two unlikely lovers are unique, stubborn, loyal and strong emotionally as well as physically. Both soldiers, I love the times Ms. takes Mr. down. It is so different with having the female dragon and the male human--what a wonderful story. They are so strong with heartbreaking histories getting to know each other has blockades that must be broken down. Watching the male dragons around Nikki try to stare down Rafe is both funny and rewarding to see him stand his ground.

The dangers to their love are legal and physical as well as emotional. The dragon Hunters brought them together, will they tear them apart or worse take their lives? The mate claim is strong, however, there is little time to recover with the missions pressing. How will they deal with the results? Their love story is touching and scary. Not only does Rafe have to win his lady love--she has a clan of dragons—the legal system against him. Is he up to the task? If he can win over Nikki's dragon he'll have a strong ally. And once again the dragon's internal conversations with her human is sometimes funny, sometimes profound and just good sense—when she isn't trying to get more sex. Yes, female dragons are just as sex-minded as the males.

Another opportunity to revisit some of our favorite old friends and make new ones. This is a not to miss audio as are all of Jessie Donovan books and audios. Enjoy this strong recommend.

Brilliant

Loved this book. It was nice to get to know Rafe, he and Nikki were a good match. I like how things are progressing for the Dragon Shifters and the further hints towards future couples! Can't wait for the next book!

Rafe *Swoon*

I have a massive love/hate relationship with this book! Loved it so damn much! Could not stop listening! Hate/Loved the second story line that goes on because it leaves me hungry for more! Keep it coming Jessie!

Another first.

It was great to finally hear a little more of Nikki’s story that made her who she was. It was good to finally get the back story of what happened to her and Rafe before. It was good to see such two strong people to realize and find a way to mesh and get along. I love listening and trying to guess who will be the next pair. The accents are fabulous. When you can hear the Scottish, Irish, and English variations that is a great narrator and makes listening so sweet.
I will be not so patiently waiting for the next one. Thanks for such great stories with such wonderful voices.

Nikki is a protector that just found out that the man who hurt her four years is her true mate. she doesn't want a child, afraid it would ruin her protector career. She figured Rafe won't want a child after he was so cruel to her four years ago, so she figured get the mate claim frenzy over with then give the child up for adoption. Turns out Rafe wants the child.

Will Nikki and Rafe keep the child and find happy ever after without killing each other.

Matthew Lloyd Davies really knows how to narrate, he just adds so much to the story.

Audible ARC Review-Surrendering to the Dragon

I do believe this is my favorite book so far! The narrator was wonderful, and although he does need to work on his different accents and there was a time or two that i2 wasn't sure if Rafe or Aaron were the ones talking, but those are minor things to me. The story itself for me was fast paced right from the beginning! I was actually finding things to do around my house so I could keep listening. I also loved that we are "listening to the children grow. I would recommend this book for sure, but also advise to listen to the previous books first.

Loved it

I was given a complimentary copy of this audiobook and this is my honest opinion.

Nikki Gray has reason to hate the dragon hunters—they brutally murdered one of her friends a year ago. Not only that, they have caused havoc on several of the British dragon clans, injuring countless individuals. Determined to defeat the hunters by kidnaping their leader, Simon Bourne, she teams up with a human male in the British special forces. After six months of work, they’re finally ready to carry out their mission and capture Bourne. However, one kiss derails their plans and changes their lives forever.

At the request of his sister, Rafe Hartley agrees to work with the dragon-shifters. After all, the dragon hunters are a pain in his arse and the fewer of them, the better.

Rafe and Nikki must now decide what to do with their futures. Can they still work together and find a way to capture Simon Bourne? Or, will their fated kiss result in a divide that can’t be healed?
