This was a very quick listen, and a fun and spicy story about found mates between a human and a dragon-shifter. It's not anything super fantastic, but if you're in the mood for something fast and pretty spicy, then this might be for you!

Elody is a woman. August is a dragon. They fall in love. Bonded. Mates. The usual fantasy story with forced proximity and tension. This was a strange read if I’m honest and I kept picturing Elody and August as humans because it was too weird. Easy audiobook to listen to, and it definitely kept me engaged! Read if you want an easy fantasy audiobook to listen to while you’re doing chores around the house!

Thanks to Net Galley, Lola Glass, and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook!

Absolutely fantastic book. It's fun, it's sexy, and yes there's a really good plot amongst the smut!

Melody and August are stuck with one another when she interrupts an argument between him, a large supernatural, and a woman. Who happens to be his sister. Well intended Melody unwittingly causes August's heat to ignite between them, and he sweeps her away to his cabin to ride it out together.

This book came along at just the right moment for me, it's had long between monster romances and it was just the right balance of plot and spice. The humor hits, the angst hits, it just really good and I look forward to the next audiobook in this series.

August & Fireball! What a crazy fantasy based whirlwind romance! I really enjoyed listening the the audiobook Never Fall for a Dragon. It was FULL of spice! ♥️
For the listeners and readers that enjoy that intimacy several times per chapter.. then this is the book for you!

I would say that overall plot was quite basic, that was the only downside. There wasn't much to the storyline other than lots of sex, touching & needing each other. A fun and quick audiobook, that was a great little escape and easy to get into from the start. Their romance began after just 10 or so minutes into the book & I did find myself rolling my eyes at parts - just due to more sex than storyline. (In my opinion I do like more adventure/challenges/back story in romantasy.)

Overall I really liked the side characters and wished the family members were more involved in the day to day of August and Elodies' blossoming romance. It was quite predictable and I did find myself knowing most of the time what was going to happen next. Very little intrigue and zero plot twists. This book has the potential to be much more!

However, that said, I definitely enjoyed the parts outside the cabin and when Elodie had to approach the dragon prison council. I'm super thankful I got the opportunity to listen to the audiobook! Thank you Dreamscape & Lola 🐉✨ would recommend to the erotica fantasy based listeners & readers!

This book is smutty but so incredibly swoony. Fated mates is such an addictive trope for me. I am not a huge fan of instalove even with my slight obsession with fated mates. This take on fayed mates was so unique and so much fun. I love how they had to basically bunker down to try and not do the deed. Of course nature and magic takes its toll on them. I live this take on heat and fated mates and I am now obsessed with this author. This was my first time reading them, but this book dragged me in, kept me enthralled, and had me wanting more.

I got an audiobook arc thanks to NetGalley and I got to say that this book apart for being spicy, I found it really cozy. A cozy spicy fast read, it kinda felt like a cleanser palette after reading a long series, this fast read is cute romantic and fantasy driven a straight forward plot. Really enjoyed it! The narrators were also a great, I had my fair share of audio books and I could say they really did a good job! Would recommend this.

This book had no depth to it. It was instant “ur trapped in a mating bond with me” and it didnt really get better from there. I was hoping this would be similar vibes to kimberly lemmings books but it wasnt.

In a world where supernaturals and humans coexist, Elody won't tolerate a bully of any species. After she attempts to defend a stranger, she suddenly finds herself with a dragon shifter insta-mate who has triggered her heat. She just wants to get on with getting her college degree and instead has to work with August to discover how they will survive this heat... but through the course of it, they become something more, or so she thought...

This was a run-of-the-mill romantasy with fated mates. Elodie interrupts an argument between a man and a woman and before she knows it, she's being whisked away to a cabin in the mountains. The man, August, is actually a dragon and has gone into heat with Elodie's smell. Dragons don't like to be mated for life (in this world dragons are mostly male and mate with human women for life). Neither of them want this so they just need to survive the pain together for a month without consummating the relationship - however other physical contact is total fine, and happens quite frequently. The banter was decent, there were no high stakes and I enjoyed the read and I will more than likely continue the series, but it will not be a priority.

I would recommend Never Fall for a Dragon to Ruby Dixon fans, particularly those who enjoyed her Fireblood Dragon series. While the hero in this story is less animalistic, the wild natural instinct during the intimate scenes hits the same. Overall, I enjoyed this listen, but it didn't fully carry me away. I think I would have been more invested if the characters had more dimension. That said, the plot and spice were solid.

Thank you Lola Glass, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for my advanced review audio copy. My opinions are my own.

um.... There isn't much of a plot to speak of..... but the spice is there so if you are looking for a lot of that and you don't care about the rest... this is the one for you.

I needed more but I kinda understand that its starting a series and maybe the author overcompensated for setting that up but it didn't ring my bell

3 stars

Elodie is computer software developer who still study , she's a nice girl who believes woman sould got each other back so when she saw a woman seems to argue with a guy despite her fear she intervene but found out, fact the due are supernatural being and they weren't arguing but conversing, though it was too late and the bond with the dragon August triggered by her coming near him and put her smell in August system unintentionally and nothing could be changed except they move together and stick together in not a really platonic way but if they could resist the heat , they can break the bond, wich was preferable for both August and Elodie but their heat won't go out and as much as they have the reason to deny it , they still complete the bond

The book is set in a fantasy world in which dragons, humans, vampires, and demons exist, so a world full of hot guys and red flags since Elodie's ex was a vampire and he hurt her previously, so not all the creatures meant good. The book is fast-paced, and there is a dual pov of August and Elodie. Their chemistry worked like that from the start of the book, and the author seems to be in a hurry to bond Elodie and August because the book is like page 2 and the great start. There is a special open mind, something that makes me question some morals, but still, the book has the potential to be funny to some extent.

I especially think nothing would start if Elodie just stock her nose to her own business like always and ignore her surroundings as usual, but no, she has to exactly intervene when it's not even necessary because it was just August and his sister talking about something and she should assume things on her own. It's really cliché but fun; there are times you have an impression, but when I hear August think, I have this thought, The poor guy doesn't know what he should do, and especially since Elodie is, and especially since Elodie is hot-headed and chaotic, but I think it's an added charm since if you are a veteran reader, you could guess the book easily and lose interest.

The narrator's voice was too hot.

I decide the plot, however easy to guess, but it was entertaining since the book is full of teasing and fun times, so I rate it 3.5, and the spice... they start the heat from the first 2 pages. How about you guys read it and find out? The book guarantees the good time, and if you haven't read other Lola Glass books, you might like to start since the previous couple's interaction in the book seems hilarious and sure can be intriguing, like Brynne's relationships with Bash from August pov are hilarious, and, nor gonna lie, I want to know what really happened to her, so yeah, good book.

For me, this entire thing was about s*x and had no real plot. I wanted the dangers and adventure of being mated to a supernatural being, and instead got a whole book about being in heat like animals.

In this steamy standalone romance, Elody finds herself trapped in a cabin with August, a dragon shifter she unintentionally triggers into a heat-induced mating process. They must resist their intense attraction to avoid sealing their bond and facing a lifetime together. The twist? August is about to go to prison for protecting his sister, and if they give in to the heat, Elody will be bound to him and face prison too. The story is filled with tension, and while the plot and world-building are minimal, the chemistry between the characters keeps it engaging. Dual narration adds depth, making this a quick, passionate listen for fans of supernatural romance.

I absolutely loved this story! I knew immediately that it would be a new favorite and I could not put it down. Dragons, fated mates, look at her and die, and dominant female. I am obsessed with this book now. I can’t wait for the next book. Everything was perfect, I could not have asked for a better story with everything I wanted. The narrators did an amazing job in this story and helped bring it to life. The only thing that might be a problem for other readers is that this story has the miscommunication trope which is not a favorite for most but I don’t mind.

I definitely recommend this book to everyone and I hope they enjoy it as much as I did!

Thank you to the author, Dreamscapes Media, and NetGalley for this audiobook.

This is a dual narrated audiobook. The voice actor for Elodi did a great job, different voices for the different characters and kept a great pace and flow through the book and keep the listener engaged. I wasn't super into the voice of the male voice actor, but he did a good job on his chapters. His voices were a little harder to distinguish for some of the male characters, but overall still able to tell who was saying what (more or less).

Never Fall for a Dragon is like fantasy romance lite. The story is rather simple, but that's not a bad thing! This was a great one sitting read that I didn't have to think about to much and could turn my brain off and go along for the ride. I'm interested in picking up the sequels and finding out more about the world. The spice was fun, I enjoyed the forced proximity, and the audiobook was well done. I wish the conflict had been a bit more fleshed out. It felt like it was resolved a little too quickly.

World building is minimal, plot is minimal, but the angsty sexual tension bits are well done.
Did the lack of plot and world building matter much?
Nope.
Did I enjoy it?
Yup.
Will I read the next book?
Yup.
Much love to NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for my ALC.

I did not expect for this audiobook to be as SPICY as this was! Honestly, it was so well done by the narrators - they took on the roles of the two main characters perfectly. I am not typically a fan of insta-love, but this one I enjoyed! There was angst, sexual tension, banter and some comedy served on the side. Also, August is such a perfect book boyfriend - I loved how much he adored Élodie but he also had a grumpy confidence to him as well. That dragon is HOT! It was fast paced and I really loved the world building and side characters. I can’t wait for Miranda and Jasper’s story next!

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Lola Glass and Dreamscape Media for providing me with an advanced listener copy of Never Fall for a Dragon.
