The Dragon Experiment

Here Be Dragons, Book 3

De: Louisa Masters

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

Who knew sleeping around could save the entire species?

I'm a simple dragon. Give me knowledge, give me research, give me rings for my hoard, and give me athletic men who want to get sweaty between the sheets . . . or anywhere else. Those things make me happy. Other things . . . well, who cares about those?

Turns out, I should have cared. Or at least paid attention. Because I somehow signed up for a scientific study run by a shy, nerdy sorcerer with the body of a god. And the study just happens to be about my favorite form of exercise.

It doesn't take long for me to know I want to do more than science with Rhys. I've never been the kind of dragon to mix feelings with fun, but Rhys could be the one person who meets all my needs, even if he won't wear a ring on every finger.

But when his research becomes more important than any of us could have imagined, our relationship enters a new phase. Now it's up to me to show Rhys how much he's worth . . . both to me and to the future of his species.

Lovely

Louisa Masters has a singular talent for gentle storytelling. Her characters are completely her strength, and you not only can relate to them, but also empathize, and just wanna hang out with them.

As always, a stellar voice performance. Just lovely.

Entertaining and Fun

Fabian, the dragon's historian, and Reese, a scientist, are fun and entertaining. I love this series very much. I really enjoy the narration by Joel Leslie.

Fun listen.

Joel Leslie has been so brilliant throughout this series and the previous series. The only other narrator I can imagine doing these voices justice is Michael Lesley.

Fabian is so ridiculous, but it was great getting to know him and see the different sides to him.
Rhys was a sweetie.

Joel Leslie’s Voice is Golden

As always, Louisa Masters delivered a fun and sexy story that I enjoyed immensely. Her world-building is fantastic in its breadth and depth, creating a believability that I truly appreciate. The characters are interesting and developed, and the plot was great. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting and never got bored.

I have to give props to Joel Leslie, whose voice I ADORE. His character voices, his accents, his diction, his pitch, his cadence: everything hits the ear perfectly.

I will continue to seek out books written by Louisa Masters and books narrated by Joel Leslie (and loving all the overlap thereof).

Wonderful

I enjoyed Fabian and Reese’s story. Fabian seems a bit of an air head, but he’s the dragons historian, while Reese is a scientist. I love that Fabian’s hoard is rings, doesn’t matter if they’re a precious metal of costume jewellery, He loves them all.

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: The characters and plot were entertaining, with a good pace and flow.
What I call an easy listen ... plot wasn't too complicated so could listen while doing something without losing track of the story.

Fabian is such a delightfully inappropriate character with no shame and endless curiosity - makes for some very amusing situations.

🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie is a master voice actor and suits the personalities of these characters. He has good timing, cadence, inflections and intonations, he's kept the consistency of characters voices throughout the multiple series so it's easy to distinguish all the characters from each other and he's done a stellar performance bringing this book to life.

a dragon with ADHD

I absolutely loved this book. Fabian was awesome. A dragon with basically severe ADHD. I Identified with him so much for that as someone with really bad ADHD his train of thought actually made sense to me and forgetting and getting sidetracked mid conversation.

The Dragon Experiment

Le sigh 😌

I absofreakinglutely loved it. I don’t know how Louisa does it but the whole CSG/DEA series is epically awesome. I love each and every book in both series. Every book is an automatic one-click for me.

I highly recommend but you really need to start with Demons Do It Better, trust me that you won’t regret it.

Loved hearing everything brought to life by Joel’s performance.

Absolutely ridiculous, but oh so fun

4.25 stars

Okay, this was just so ridiculous and so much fun. Our sweet little f*ckboy dragon, Fabian, is just so clueless. He's so honest, even when it isn't necessary. The dynamic between him and the nerdy sorcerer scientist, Rhys, was priceless. There's banter and sass, and of course, plenty of shenanigans with the rest of the Here Be Dragons herd. There is a little miscommunication, but it didn't bother or upset me like it usually does. It was actually pretty funny and sweet, and it was resolved without any drama. All in all, it's a fun and enjoyable experience that's definitely easy for the brain. I love that.

Humor, great plot, awesome narrator, super story!

Louisa Masters has yet to disappoint me. love every visit to the world of the community of Species and the Dragon and Elf Alliance .
and the DEA . Very much enjoy Joel Leslie's narration.
