About this listen

An alien dragon king meets his fated mate in a woman from Earth. With conflict brewing in the kingdom, will he be forced to make a heartbreaking choice?

Bella: When I came to the subterranean kingdom of Driegon as a mail-order bride, I didn’t expect the dragon king to sweep me off my feet, take flight, and claim me as his mate. He says a mythical mating ritual called the Torrent proves we’re fated. Yeah, sure. Then I find out he’s almost engaged. He insists he’ll find a way for us to be together, but I’ve fallen for pretty lies before, and I won’t give my heart again easily.

Malac: To end a war among the factions of my Driegon people, I must marry the daughter of a rival warlord. I’ve accepted my fate. Until I meet Bella, one of three Earthlings brought to my kingdom as mail-order brides. One touch, and my blood roars through me - the first sign of the Torrent. We’re fated and I ache to claim her, yet I cannot betray my people. But the heart of a dragon will not be denied.

Malac is book 1 in the Brides of Driegon series. This standalone, full-length story has in-the-book heat, aliens who look and act alien, a guaranteed happily ever after, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

What listeners say about Malac

Highly rated for:

The Story Revolves Around An Arranged Marriage Between Malac, The King Of The Reptilian Dreigon Race, And Bella, A Human, In An Effort To Bring Peace Between Their Peoples. While The Premise Of Blending Alien And Human Cultures Is Praised As A Clever Idea, The Execution Is Criticized For Lacking Depth And Complexity. The Plot Is Deemed Predictable, And The Characters, Particularly Bella, Are Seen As One-dimensional. However, The Love Story Between Malac And Bella Is Described As Heartwarming, And The World-building Is Appreciated. Overall, The Story Is Perceived As A Simplistic But Enjoyable Romance With Some Steamy Elements, Though It Misses Opportunities For Greater Creativity And Character Development.

Not bad

I was hesitant about this series because I lost interest 2 chapters and decided to give it another chance and finished the book. It was not bad at all. I think the male narrater make it more enjoyable displaying more emotion and feelings. His tone and acting is awesome. The female was okay and is better than many female narrated so have listen to. If you opened minded and have wild imagination I recommend you listen to this. Still a fan of VORK and that series!!!

Too much sex

Short 6 hr story which limits character and cultural development. After the 1st 5 chapters, sex gradually became more prevalent.

Difficult to follow

Narrator does not differentiate between characters. Difficult to keep them straight. However,I did like 2 sets of couples finding their mates.

Malac & Bella sweet story

I always love listening to Teddy Hamilton and he never fails.
The story is a sweet and captivating. Mail order brides that go to meet dragon looking people and fall in love. But the uncertainty of war in the horizon because someone else wants to rule the kingdom some are unhappy of the human being there.

five star read

I love the storyline. I loved the introduction of the characters. you can definitely tell that this was part one that they would be some follow-ups or that this was a setup. but that's fine. I didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the antagonist in the book that wasn't fleshed out. very good to me, but that was just a very small part of the story I thought they could have did a little better with that than what they did. but other than that no spoilers read the book. it was great. I think you'll like it

Needs better Female Narrator

Listened to the first 3 chapters and noticed Tawnia sounds like she is reading instead of acting the part of the character; she is messing up the book. Ava please find a better female narrator for the next book; there are so many that excel at this. The storyline is like other books in this genre.
