A brilliant end to this part of the dragon series. This was another great book that had me completely hooked and laughing out loud.

In this book Aisling is trying to get married but things seem to keep getting in the way. She is trying to get out of being a Prince of Abandon while being asked to give sacrifices, deal with being proscribed and then Drake goes missing. Not to mention that the red dragons are still trying to start a war and Aisling is still the mate of Fiat the blue dragon.

With the help of her Uncle Damien, Jim and Rene she finds herself running round trying to sort it all out with some hillarious results. Personally I found the chicken sacrifices the funniest part.

There is still some parts to the storyline that are left unfinished which I think makes you want to continue onto the next book. Like Drake's brother and the blue dragons which makes you feel that there should really be a fifth book In this part of the series. However it is still a good series that I would recommend. Look forward to continuing in the series. Xx

As busy but entertaining as ever. Makes me want to read the next three (Gabriel's story) all over again.

As usual Aisling is slightly annoying and Drake is hot.

This final addition to the Aisling Grey, Guardian series was not my favorite. But I'll admit I was still decompressing from finishing Karen Marie Moning's Fever series.

Favorite characters were back, and of course in several instances of danger. This series was fun, light hearted and filled with characters I adored.

I highly recommend it and am glad I found another author who can entertain me!

Can't wait to read more dragons, but am sad that this was Aisling's last adventure!

"Dragon Love - Höllische Hochzeitsglocken" ist der 4. Band der "Aisling Grey" Reihe von Autorin Katie MacAlister.

Die Geschichte ist wie gewohnt unterhaltsam und spannend, meiner Meinung nach aber leider auch etwas zu albern. Ich habe einfach das Gefühl, dass die Autorin teilweise absichtlich übertreibt. Die Bezeichnungen in den Erotikszenen finde ich übrigens auch furchtbar. Das wird vermutlich an der Übersetzung liegen. "Stab" war für meinen Geschmack dann doch etwas zu viel des Guten.

Die Handlung selbst kann ich auch nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Einige Dinge sind schon sehr abstrus und ergeben wenig Sinn für mich. Ich fürchte, dass die Geschichte auch ein wenig durch die Übersetzung gelitten hat.

Trotz Kritik hat mir das Buch aber gefallen. Ich mag die Charaktere alle gerne und langweilig ist die Geschichte auf keinen Fall. Für den Reihenabschluss vergebe ich daher 3 Sterne.

Hier folgen noch ein paar Infos zum Hörbuch:
8 Stunden und 53 Minuten / Ungekürzte Ausgabe
Sprecherin: Julia Stoepel
Ich würde der Sprecherin 4,5 Sterne geben.
Verlag: Audible Studios

So amazing! This series is one of my favorites! So glad that Aisling and Drake finally got their act together and got their happily ever after. And her being pregnant, that should prove to be quite interesting!
