A Being(s) in Love Story

Arthur MacArthur needs a job, and not just for the money. Before he dropped out of school to support his younger sister, he loved being a research assistant at the university. But working for a dragon, one of the rarest and least understood magical beings, has unforeseen complications. While Arthur may be the only applicant who isn’t afraid of Philbert Jones in his dragon form, the instant attraction he feels for his new employer is beyond disconcerting.

Bertie is a brilliant historian, but he can’t find his own notes without help - his house is a hoard of books and antiques, hence the need for an assistant. Setting the mess right is a dream come true for Arthur, who once aspired to be an archivist. But making sense of Bertie’s interest in him is another matter. After all, dragons collect treasure, and Arthur is anything but extraordinary.

What made the experience of listening to A Boy and His Dragon the most enjoyable?

I have listened to this book at least 3 times. I love the characters, they are really well developed. The story is very entertaining. Definitely worth the money or credit. I would highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite books!

As a history major this story has a special place in my heart. I feel Arthur's pain at not being able to finish his degree. And I feel his horror at Bertie's mess of a library - especially Roman artifacts in the downstairs bathroom??!! I get how Arthur might want to smack that Dragon on his nose. This book makes me want to dust my bookshelves. Like every time I get lazy I should go back to this book. To be honest, I listened to it while dusting and it was very inspiring. Audiobooks are necessary if you want me to stop reading physical books and get dinner made and the chores done.

I love Bertie and Arthur and I advise you to read (or listen) the rest of the books in the series to learn more about what happens to them, I promise it's adorable.

I just wish the narrator was a bit better. Maybe it was just me and it didn't match what was in my head. That is the curse of listening to a book or watching the movie after you have read the book. Bertie has a different sound in my head.

I enjoyed the story itself very much but the purposeful slow way the narrator read made it really had to get into.

I love all the books in this series. This is a fine one to start on as it stands alone. MLM Romance with supernatural elements is a lot of fun and this is a gentle low stakes story with a happy ending. The narrator is not my favorite, but he is better if you run it a little bit fast.
I think I went with 1.4 speed. these characters reoccur in The Firebird and other stories (final story in collection), A Dandelion for Tulip(minor), Sweet Clematis(minor but more than in dandelion), and the Tales of Two Seers (AU story)

fun read

I enjoyed this great story of affection slowly turning to love, however the narration was so irritatingly slow I had to adjust the speed to 1.25 before I was comfortable listening. Half fairy tale and half shifter romance, it was the perfect mix of of cute and comfortable reading.

Great Story of Affection Slowly Turning to Love

I really love this story--enough that I tolerated the narrator. He isn't the worst I've heard but he narrates SO slowly. I sped the reading up to 1.35x and that put him around normal speed. I liked that I could tell the characters apart but I do wish he'd at least attempted the English accent.

Wonderful Story; SLOW narrator

This one is my favorite I read it so many times. It’s a very cozy slow burn. I love coppers series and this is one of the best in the set.

Best in the series!

This story was definitely a rough draft that would've been much better with a rewrite after having an editor go over it. It sucks to say that, because I found the slow burn romance and the premise of the entire story completely charming. This story could easily be a 2 book series after adding some more world building and actual dialogue. There's not a ton of sex, but it fit nicely with the characters and the overall pace of the story, so I'm satisfied there. If the story just sucked all around, I wouldn't even take the time to write a review, but I feel like there's a really good story that just wasn't executed properly. Lastly, the voice actor left much to be desired, but that could've been overlooked had the recording audio not been terrible.
