The Impatient Lord

Dragon Lords, Book 8

De: Michelle M. Pillow

Narrado por: Melissa Barr

An unlucky bride..

Riona Grey lives life on her own terms, traveling wherever the next spaceship is flying and doing what she must in order to get by. When her luck turns sour, she finds herself on a bridal ship heading to a marriage ceremony. A planet full of dragon shifters seeking mates wasn’t exactly what she had in mind as a final destination. Just when she thinks things couldn’t possibly get worse, she wakes up months later in an isolation chamber with a sexy, hovering dragon shifter by her side telling her they’re meant to be together…forever.

The impatient groom...

After years of failed marriage attempts at the Breeding Festivals, the gods finally revealed Lord Mirek’s bride…a day too late. Eager to have her, he defied tradition and laid claim. But it is a mistake to go against the gods and his new wife was the one to pay the price of his impatience.

Now almost a year later, his bride is finally waking from her deep sleep. With one look from her, he feels the eagerness to claim her overtaking him once more. Fearful she’ll slip through his grasp once again, he’s hesitant to anger the gods by taking her to his bed too soon. But, how can he resist the one thing that would make his life complete, especially when she looks at him with eyes of a seductress? This is one test he can’t fail, and yet with one of her sweet kisses he knows he may already have lost.

Great Series, love Riona's sass!

I’ve been loving the Dragon Lord series. This is the 8th in the series but I found it could be listened to as a stand alone. Riona Grey is living her life on the edge. She gambles in order to make a living, often on the run from place to place, staying ahead of certain men that she owes. When her sister comes to ask for a favor, Riona can’t say no. By trying to help her sister, Riona finds herself married to a dragon shifter. But a year has passed and she has to decide what she wants. She finds that her life skills are actually helpful to her new family. If she can avoid the trouble that is still following her and if she decides to stay. I found that this book was a more light hearted and fun.

Oh I love the dragon lol

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Great book full of fun, action, betrayal, and more!

What does Melissa Barr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought she was great, nice smooth voice, add too the story

Any additional comments?

Oh so fun And as always well thought out and we'll put together as all the books of miss pillow's that I have read. Come to think of it she is really spoiling me with with how well she writes her story's!
Adventure, romance and science fiction! Yeah ☺ now that I have read all of the Dragon books I guess I'll try the Lord's of the var series but the dragons hate them so much and they made me hate them so now miss pillow has her work cut out to make them hot. Lol since she wrote about them I am thinking she might have! So on to the next book. If you love dragon shifter, alpha males, space romance then this book is for you!

Really Great!!!

Would you listen to The Impatient Lord again? Why?

I would listen to it again if there's a different narrator. She wasn't very good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I did like Mirek and Riona. I was not sure if I was going to like Riona but I did. She's a survivor & lived independently. She always protected her sister & herself. Now she has Mirek. He's great to her.

Which character – as performed by Melissa Barr – was your favorite?

I really did not enjoy Melissa Barr's narration. Narrator reads very choppy it was very distracting. Her performance was very choppy & it was very distracting. She did not flow in her narration. It was very much like she was reading a script.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the ending!!! It was great to know everyone's status & that Mirek & Riona were going to have their own bundle of joy!!

Any additional comments?

The story is great!!! I really enjoyed it!! I did not like the narration, maybe if it was a different narrator. I wish the Dragon Lords story can go on & on!!!

impatient, but lovable

Loved the story of Mirek and Riona. In the previous book, I didn't really like Riona, but she redeemed herself in this one. She is strong, funny, mischievous and fun loving, keeping Mirek on his toes after scaring him by falling into a coma. Mirek is so lovable and fun, he is so loyal to her, caring for her for months. Loved their banter, their bedroom talk. Loved how the story unfolded and it wasn't predictable, which made the book more exciting. I like that in every book in the series we get to read beyond the HEA ending of the couple from previous books and the further we get into the series the more of the big picture is revealed.
I wasn't sure about Melissa Barr's voice at the beginning, but she drew me into the story with her various voices and enthusiasm. Really enjoyed her telling the story.

another slam dunk!!!

Any additional comments?

She did it again. this is a good addition to the dragon lords series, it has humor, love and a hero with such a cute bafflement. he just don't know what to do with his bride. and that leads to some funny situations. i will differently be listening to this again.
