The Doctor’s Wounded Dragon

The High Garden Dragons, Book 6

De: C.K. Noel

Narrado por: Aaron Ross

Dr. Adam Richards was raised in a time where being gay was taboo. Like most men of his time, he settled down, married a woman, and had children. Thirty years later, divorced and ready to start over, he wishes he'd been true to himself back when he was younger and desirable. Who'd want an old man like him? And what would his sons think if they knew the truth?

Then Adam meets the young, confident, and gorgeous Aaran MacNair. Adam is positive he's too old for him. But Aaran has a secret; he's a thousand-year-old dragon-shifter, and what's more, he claims Adam is his mate.

A single date quickly spirals into a moment of passion, igniting the bonding process. But Adam's son interrupts, halting the completion of the bond. Feeling the effects of the mating heat, Aaran has two options—leave or risk killing Adam's son—both choices have devastating consequences.

Age is just a number

This latest entry in the dragon serial finally puts Aaran and Adam together. There’s a lot of family drama to contend with surrounding Adam, his sons, and mating. I’m glad Adam finally wrapped his head around the concept of dragons and got it through his thick skull that the age gap with Aaran was bigger than he thought and went in the other direction. It’s an enjoyable book to listen to and Aaron Ross’s accent works well with the story.

Still into these dragons!

I'm still very much into these dragons and their mates. This book focuses on Aaran and Adam's story. They meet in a previous book and have some interactions before committing to date/ mate each other. I like seeing Aaran (and his dragon) struggle to woo Adam.

Fun series

I’m glad to be back in this world. I’ve enjoyed this series so far and this book was a great addition. Adam and Aaron make a great pair and it was fun to see their dynamic. I loved how the relationship developed not just with the guys but also with their family. I can’t wait to get even more amazing stories in this series and this world.

fun new world

This was a fun listen. Both author and narrator are new to me but the blurb sounded interesting so I jumped in. I enjoyed both the story and performance. I assume there's some world building I missed from the previous books, as well as Adam and Aaran meeting but I didn't have issues following along. Adam and Aaran faced some issues that could have been prevented with a little more communication but I'll chalk it up to the fast pace and move along.

A pet peeve as a reader is when there are too many similar names. There are at least 4 characters with "A" names, including this pairing. It's just hard to keep straight as I'm reading. Overall a fun world and I'm planning to go back and read the rest of the series.

a fun mpreg dragon shifter series

These are such fun novellas. They are all action packed for something so short which makes them fly by. I have enjoyed listening to each and every one. Each book focuses on a different family member but they are NOT standalones due to the overarching storyline and there are continuing relationship plot points (like pregnancies) stretching over more than one book. I had never heard the narrator before starting this series but I find him enjoyable and like his Scottish accent. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.
