A good Series

I enjoyed the world Meg Ridley has created. From wizards, fae, dragons, magic and portals this series has it all. This collection has four short books. Elle Sonali did a good job narrating. Kudos to both Meg and Elle for jobs welll done.

Great Set

I had previously listened to the second and third audiobooks in this series- Royal Dragon's Protector and Royal Dragon Daddy- and really enjoyed them. I was so glad to get the opportunity to listen to this set as I could listen to the beginning. Great world building and wonderful characters. I really enjoyed the premise of these stories. The first book, Dragon's Royal Guard, actually became my favorite in the series, and Kaylee my favorite heroine. Each of the four stories are a little different, and all were fun. (Please note, I didn't read or listen to the series Daddy Dragon Guardians)

Elle Sonali did a good job narrating this series. She did okay with the male voices, but of course was great with the female voices. I also liked her wizard voices.

I'll rate this as a set, but I'll also add my original reviews for the two audiobooks I previously listened to below.

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 4 stars
Story: 4 stars


Review Royal Dragon's Protector
[Originally Reviewed 8.12.23]

I enjoyed this book. Good world building. I really enjoyed the fantasy setting opening with the evil tyrannical wizard. I was into it enough It felt a little jarring at first when it changed to modern time because I wanted to stay where I was lol I really liked Nora. Her cheerful and positive attitude warmed me to her right away. When she catches her boyfriend cheating on her and she tries to leave after confronting him and he gets physically violent, I really disliked that- in spite of her shock- she made no move to fight back despite being a dragon and I would think stronger or as strong as him. She needed a man to save her. I also hated that she didn't want to report him, or press charges- which I notice happens in other romance books, too for some reason. I listened to a couple other Meg Ripley audiobooks, but those had bear shifters. So a dragon shifter book was nice.

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Elle Sonali. She spoke clearly and I loved her voice for Nora. I also like her voices for the wizards in the beginning. Her voice for Kieran was okay.


Review Royal Dragon Daddy
[Originally reviewed 9.8.23]

I really enjoyed this book. I started the series with the previous book and really enjoyed it. Good world building. I loved the characters. Finn and Aurora made a good match and both were drawn to each other from the start. But while she knew he was a dragon, he didn't know she was fae. She was in a tough spot because the wizards were threatening and enslaving her people- including her father- in their hunt for the dragons. She needed to save them, but didn't count on falling for Finn or his infant son.

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Elle Sonali. I liked her in the last book and really liked her here. I like her tone of voice and thought she was excellent for the female characters. The males weren't that good. They just sounded like women with a little bit of a deeper voice. But I didn't mind because I liked her overall.

Good Series

This box set contains the four books which make up the Dragons of Charok - Shifters Between Worlds series:

Dragon's Royal Guard:-
In this first book, we meet the main characters who are well-drawn but not necessarily likeable.
Kaylee the female lead is brattish, good with languages and passionate about archaeology. She’s from another world but there’s a lot she wasn’t told.
Archard's from Charok but he and his family find themselves on Earth, something he's far from happy about. Something he tended to take out on Kaylee. Archard is also an interesting character

Royal Dragon’s Protector:-
This book is about Diana a witch who agrees to fake a mate bond with Orien a disposed alpha werewolf so he can return to his pack and she can gain her freedom from Ono the current alpha a tyrant who keeps her on a short leash. When her powers awakened and Ono realised how powerful she was he tried to keep her under his thumb but he has no idea what she is capable of as Diana used a potion to mask her scent which kept everyone from knowing her power.

But then she realizes that Orien is her mate as he can't scent the real her because of the potion, will she ever gain her freedom? Someone else is keeping secrets, as well and Ono may not be the biggest threat Orien and Diana have to face.

Royal Dragon Daddy:-
I really enjoyed this book the excellent world-building continues and I loved the characters. Finn and Aurora are a good match and were drawn to each other from the start. But while she knew he was a dragon, he didn't know she was fae. The wizards are threatening and enslaving her people in their hunt for the dragons. Will she be able to save them? While trying to do so she didn't expect to fall for Finn or his son.

Royal Dragon's Witch:-
The war between the wizards and the dragons has now reached Earth! Elliot was one of four royal dragon eggs brought to Earth to protect them from the devastating war on Charok. Now grown he spends all of his free time studying for the bar exam. When he finishes the exam his cousins and their mates arrive to drag him out to celebrate at a bar. Once there he finds himself drawn to a woman, observing the activities from a dark corner. Sibyl is a witch who has recently arrived from Charok and is looking for dragons. Despite trying to focus on her mission she can't help being distracted by Elliot, who she assumes is human.

The attraction is mutual and sparks fly whenever they are together, but then Elliot discovers that Sibyl's the daughter of the wizard responsible for killing many dragons, including his mother the queen. What will happen when Sybil finds out that Elliot is one of the dragons she's here to destroy will she be able to complete her mission?

These audiobooks are narrated by Elle Sonali who did an excellent job with the female characters but when it came to the males there was some room for improvement. That said I still enjoyed listening to the series

Shifters

Great set of romantic shifter stories. Loved all the characters, just wish the stories were longer. The narrator is ok, most of the voices sound almost the same and the female voices are pretty bad.

Great series of books to listen to!

I enjoyed listening to this entire series of books. Meg Ripley does a great job of building the worlds in her books and well as her characters. I think this would be a great listen for anyone into paranormal romance books. Lighter on the spicy side as well.
