About this listen
Dragons aren't real. Or so I used to think.
Oxford isn't exactly what I'd imagined. Sure, the colleges are romantic, and everyone is brilliant enough to trigger my impostor syndrome. I expected that.
The dragon, however, was a big surprise.
I saw him on my first day. The beautiful beast spoke to me, then disappeared. I’ve been looking for him ever since.
When I’m not on a wild dragon chase, I spend my time in the library. I’d like to think I’m only there to study, but who am I kidding? I’m there for him.
Rufus Mortimer is the world’s hottest librarian. He’s strict, enigmatic, and sexy. He makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. But he has a secret. One that could destroy everything.
So now, all I have to do is find a dragon, earn my doctorate, and try to not to let my new romance burn my life to the ground. Easy, right?
I wish....
The Red Dragon of Oxford, book one in the Wings over Albion series, is a sweet and spicy paranormal m/m romance. Download today, and get ready to fall in love with Mark and Rufus.

Story
When the aliens welcome them with open arms—and tentacles—Levi is wary. No strangers are that nice. Especially not seven-foot-tall teal dudes with more "feelers" than you can shake a stick at. But Levi's suspicion fades when the smoldering alien Zat'tor takes an unusual interest in him. He never got this much attention back on his own planet, and no human man ever made his heart flutter the way Zat'tor does. Amid their budding relationship, Levi discovers the shock of his life. Can he ever return to Earth? But more importantly, does he even want to?

Sascha has always felt powerless, the weak baby of a cruel family. But that’s fine. He has his looks, his ample allowance, and a smattering of one-night stands to keep him busy.

And when poking around in his temporary home leads to accidentally summoning the hottest demon Sascha could ever imagine, he has to ask himself: does he want to feel powerless anymore?

Story
Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

Working with kids is totally my jam, and I'm damn good at what I do. Just call me Maxy Frickin' Poppins! When a new job prospect comes my way, I'm intrigued. A chance to move to Mystic Hollow (aka Monsters Hollow) to be a well-paid manny for two adorable orclings? Talk about a dream position. Sold! But when I lock eyes with the seriously sexy orc who's their guardian—and my new de facto boss—for the first time, I'm a goner. Big, muscular, and green all over–he's giving me full-on Hulk meets stern professor vibes—and I like it.

Yes, he does. And he's not sure why it's happening or what to do about it. But it gets worse. Way worse and deadlier than Lucas had ever thought possible.

At least that's what I tell myself when I witness the same hot guy commit mass murder three times in a few days. I'm either the luckiest mute boy ever or possibly the unluckiest. Who knows, maybe him kidnapping me will turn into the greatest love story ever told? Hey, it could happen! You never know how these things will turn out. I happen to believe in love and soulmates, and if nothing else, Arlington Fox doesn't treat my disability like a nuisance.

Nick has no direction in his life, as his mother often reminds him. He works paycheck to paycheck, which becomes a problem when the paychecks stop coming in. When he's offered an opportunity to work off his rent, Nick decides there are worse things in life than being a super, especially when the job includes free rent. There is, however, a catch. His landlord is a vampire, and he needs more from Nick than maintenance and renter-wrangling. He needs Nick's blood.

How do I tell the guy I like that I’m not homeless, just a dumbass? Wren: Help! I accidentally got kidnapped by a hot rock star who thinks he’s doing the right thing by housing and feeding me. He thinks I’m homeless because my absent manager is the one who remembers petty details like my home address, and my broken phone is the one who knows the numbers of anyone who can prove I am who I say I am. What do I do? Bael: Help! My impulse control issues made me kidnap an adorable homeless guy who’s too proud to accept my help.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Sascha has always felt powerless, the weak baby of a cruel family. But that’s fine. He has his looks, his ample allowance, and a smattering of one-night stands to keep him busy. But when Sascha’s oldest brother offends the wrong people, Sascha finds himself in hiding with a target on his back. And when poking around in his temporary home leads to accidentally summoning the hottest demon Sascha could ever imagine, he has to ask himself: does he want to feel powerless anymore?

Story
Piers Adams never knew his parents or birthplace. All he wants from his mundane life is a better apartment and fewer working hours serving drinks at a club in Asheville, North Carolina. Sure, weirdness happens around him occasionally. Coincidences, right? He can’t possibly wish things into existence. After all, he’s only human. Maybe. It’s hard living down to a nickname like Wicked, but Prince Wycke Bertillian of the magical realm tries. He enjoys his lack of responsibilities until he’s coerced into a clandestine mission: find an evil sorceress’s hidden son in the human realm.

Leander Mast didn’t ask to come to Rivenfield, and he definitely didn’t ask to be thrust into the middle of a neighborhood battle over an ancient tree, but as a Giwoggle—who goes wherever a witch might conjure him—he doesn’t have much choice in the matter. And Leander definitely doesn’t count on getting stuck. While Leander attempts to get home, struggling against the magic keeping him from stepping outside the town limits, he butts heads with Ben, his new grumpy neighbor. And it doesn’t help that Leander cut down Ben’s tree.

Or so I thought, anyway. It all changed when they came for me, when they dragged me to trial for my crimes. I should have faced execution, but fate is a fickle and funny thing, taunting me with the knowledge that I was always destined to be so much more.

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

I Prefer the Audiobook
I was on the fence for reading this one because it didn't work well for me unfortunately. I was looking forward to read this after reading the blurb but I struggled a lot to finish it. I am glad that I did though. The audiobook helped me enjoy the story enough to round my new rating up from 3.5. Rufus Love brought the story to life and helped it be more interesting.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Thoroughly delightful read!
This was the first book I have read/listened to by Joy Lynn Feilding but it won't be my last! I absolutely loved Mark and Rufus, and was sucked in from their first encounter. Rufus is something of a book wyrm, his hoard is books! (not a spoiler. You find that out right at the beginning). I thought the pacing was great, and the plot engaging.
Rufus Loves narration pace was a bit slow, but once I bumped that up to 1.2x it was absolutely perfect. I loved his voice and accent. It really brought the story to life. Highly recommend! A+

Charming!
I highly enjoyed this audiobook. The characters, plot, and setting were a lot of fun. There is plenty of action and mystery with humor, heart and heat.
Rufus and Mark are adorable and they each have some issues with confidence and their place in the world. It is a bit of a slow burn but once things start they heat up pretty quick. With the steamy parts I am surprised with a bit of a stereotype flip. I don't want to five too much away, but there is a tendency for certain character types to have certain roles and certain histories when it involves steamy things. It seems to be a bit of a trend in a lot of books I've read and I am happy that that does NOT happen in this book. It was refreshing to read.
The narration by Rufus Love was well done. His voice was easy to listen to and he brought the book and the characters to life.
I received a copy of this audiobook and this is my honest opinion.

Great start to a new series
This is a new to me author, as well as a new to me narrator, but it will not be last. I really enjoyed this one. Rufus is a dragon, but he is not very confident one as most dragons are if you read any shifter books with dragons. When Mark sees the dragon, Rufus is in a bit of a situation and needs Mark to help him out as he can't get free. Mark is sure he has lost his mind by seeing & speaking to a dragon. Mark is a research student & Rufus is the librarian at the college that Mark is an undergrad at. I would have liked them to have not taken so long to really come together as couple, they kind of danced around what they wanted for far too long. There are some things left open that I am assuming will continue on in the next book. I can't wait to read Nate's story; he is Rufus' brother.

3.8 for my academic boys
The story follows Mark, a new Oxford student trying to pursue a career in academics, and Rufus, a grumpy librarian by day and a hot red dragon by night. Both MCs are sweet and lovable and are drawn to each other immediately.
The story felt like a very cozy read. The combination of Academia, the Oxford setting, and dragon lore gave me a feel-good time.
At the same time, something felt missing; it could be the story's pacing. I just knew I wanted more but felt a bit lacking. The conflict was barely there when it got resolved right away.
I am definitely intrigued to learn more about the Dragos world.
WHAT WE GOT:
- MM romance
- PNR with Dragons shifters
- Oxford setting
- Academia, library, and books
- Slow-burn
- Dragon society
- HEA

I Enjoyed It
I loved this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. The storyline was interesting from the start as Mark spots a dragon curled up in a field one morning and approached thinking it a prop... and quickly realized it wasn't. The beautiful red dragon was injured and could speak to him in his mind, and though a bit fearful, he helped it before watching it soar away. And I was hooked.
I really liked how Mark handled that situation, and kept the sighting a secret, and looked to see the dragon again. Rufus had been injured during a swim and was stuck in dragon form when a human man not only found him and helped him, he appeared to keep him a secret. When the same man was a prospective new student and frequented his library, he was drawn to him.
I loved the way their relationship developed. A slow pace, and walls slowly began to come down. Both attracted to the other, but thought it one-sided. It was cute to see them dance around each other, a little closer each time.
The hierarchy of dragons in this world was interesting- if a little sad. And I was quite sad for Rufus not very accepted and not valued by his clan and family for being a weaker red dragon, for his hoard being books, and being a librarian rather than a banker or working with money. Mark also had pressure on himself to do well and be accepted at the school he'd admired and dreamed of for years.
Apart from the romance, there was some mystery and suspense from a hidden figure targeting the dragons.
Rufus Love did a great job narrating this book and bringing these characters to life. This is my first time hearing him and I hope to continue this series and hear him narrate the next book.

entertaining
Rufus and Mark have a very sweet love story. They were lots of fun to learn about. As sweet as thier story was, it was almost strange that this world seems to have some darker political dragon stuff in the not so background. I hope we learn more.
Plus, Rufus Love has a wonderful voice to listen to.

A fluffy slow burn romance - by Shana W
This is an enjoyable, fluffy, slow burn romance. The story starts off with a bang, when Mark interacts with a red dragon in a field, then the pace really slows down and doesn't pick up again until after half the book is done. At that point, it picks up speed and then we get some action, some danger, and even some answers. The story is lovely and sweet and a bit meandering as the characters' friendship and relationship develop. The two MCs are quite endearing. Both of them suffer from an inferiority complex, Mark because he feels like he has no business studying at Oxford, and Rufus because he is the only red dragon and different from his whole family. Rufus is a librarian and hoards books rather than money.
I like how they take care of each other and protect each other. Mark doesn't really monitor how he says things, but he is well meaning and a loyal friend. He has a really nice circle of friends at the university. Rufus is a softie who only wants to protect his partner. His extended family isn't very kind to him, but he is very lucky to have his brother Nate who adores him.
There is some preliminary - and original - world building around dragons, but it is not detailed. I'm hoping we will get more information in the second book in the series, which I will definitely read.
I enjoyed the narration by Rufus Love. His voice was pleasant to listen to, and his pacing and expression were excellent.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Dragon romance
Mark didn’t expect to see a dragon on his first day at Oxford. Nor did he expect the hot librarian! Luckily for Mark, most of his time is spent doing research. Unluckily, Rufus, the hot librarian, is strict and doesn’t allow many books to be removed from his library at a time. Not that Mark really minds. Mark is Rufus’s perfect complement—he helps Rufus find his confidence.
