But the evil plots of her father are turning her quiet, boring life upside down, and she has now become the enemy of the most vicious queen her kind has ever known. But for once, Braith won't have to fight alone. Not when the warrior dragon of her dreams is

As usual with G.A. Aiken this novella was made of awesome. This author knows how to make you laugh your ass off with just one line and still manages not to seem cheesy.
In this short-ish story Addolgar, uncle to our favorite dragon siblings, and Braith find love through a series of hilarious adventures. I won't say much on this. I ust advice everyone who likes Fantasy and Paranormal Romance to give these books a chance!

Audio March 2019: I had a blast listening to A Tale of Two Dragons. I love this series. The narration was wonderful. Highly Recommended!

I love this series! I have been a fan of G.A. Akien/Shelly Laurenston from the first book I read The Dragon Who Lived Me in her Dragon Kin series. I then had to start from the first book Dragon Actually; because I wanted more Sexy Smart Talking Dragons and the women whom complement them.

This a slow read for me actually. It was fun, though.
Nothing impresses me than a kick-ass female. So I wasn't surprised by Braith the Darkness digging her to me. She's loyal, and fierce, honor-bound.
Addolgar the Cheerful is my kind of alpha-male, and he is fun, too!
There's humor in the story, and fun. Although, I guess I didn't quite get some of their banters. Also, I may have droopy eyes at some parts of the books.
But all in all, this has been a good and fun read! Yep, I know. I keep repeating ...more

I quite liked both characters & the story. But when compared to the full novels with multiple POV's, it was rather tame.
Full disclosure: Shelly Laurenston is an auto-buy for me. I adore her humor and her wit. The worlds she has created with her Dragon Kin series (under the name G. A. Aiken) and her Pride series are fantastic. Theyre raw, engaging and hilarious. So yes, Im a fan of her work, and I am not disappointed in this latest entry to the Dragon series.

Father of Fearghus, Briec, Gwenvael, Keita, Eibhear? And yes, we meet a young Bercelak as he once again encounters his future mate the princess Rhiannon.

Heh. I like these dragons. They're bloodthirsty and more than a little crazy and they're SO MUCH FUN. *rubs hands together in glee*
So. Braith and Addolgar. She's a little tongue-tied around him and he's a little clueless around her. He's also INSANELY impressed by her fighting skills. Except, it's more innate ability than anything taught. Which, honestly, impresses him even more.

A Tale of Two Dragons continues on with the trend of strong female leads and equally strong men hell bent on protecting them. Braith simply doesn't want to be noticed by anyone. EVER. To her sticking to the shadows and observing is better than actually having to be involved with all the snooty royalty she's surrounded by. However, there is one dragon in particular she always seems to notice, even if he doesn't see her..yet. Addolgar is a cheerful dragon known for his battle skills and way with

The Dragon Kin series has been on my TBR for a long time. I've read a few of the Shelly Laurenston books and have become interested in the dragons she's written as G.A. Aiken.
I'm a big dragon fan so was eager to jump into this series. A Tale of Two Dragons is an introduction to this world and the characters within it. The setting is quite that of fantasy, which I normally have trouble with. I found G.A. Aiken's world to be light and fun. The snarky characters are great, while we get some good ...more

Oh I do love G.A. Aiken!
I've been waiting for this book for ages, and it was a rewarding wait at that! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
Storyline: excellent.
The land masses G has created continue on, as does the hierarchy of the dragons involved, and the the politics (which in any other book, bores me to death) are all still here, as are the characters.

4.5 stars. Loved it. Addolgar and Braith made a very cute couple & I loved that Aiken brought back many characters from Ailean & Shalin's novella. A short, sweet read overall.
Solid 4 stars... verging towards 4.5 stars.
I love revisiting these crazy dragons. It's probably one of the best Dragon shifters series ever. Addolgar the Cheerful is just too adorable!

This was a very good story. I liked that the hero, Addolgar, is the son of Ailean & Shalin, the MCs from Can't get Enough from Everlasting Bad Boys (Dragon Kin 0.1)
Braith of the Darkness is a dragoness that prefers to go unnoticed. She's of royal blood but doesn't like the royal's political games so she pretends to be uninteresting so no one will pay attention to her. Braith's mother died a while back and her father has never had a use for her so she's been on her own and able to ...more

(Mar) I do enjoy flashbacks of the Cadwaladr Clan. Here we have Addolgar the Cheerful, older brother to Bercelak and Ghleanna. He's a pretty easy going dragon, happy to fight and eat and do what dragons do. Braith of the Darkness (what a name) is a very large She-Dragon whose mother died eons ago, leaving her to the not-so-tender care of her dick-of-a-father. Isolated from her mother's side of the family, a royal by birth by not by action, she seems to be a lady in waiting for lack of a better

Addolgar: Charming. Straightforward. Adorably goofy.
Loved how Braith transformed from someone who kept to herself to someone cheerful and truly happy, with the help of Addolgar.

Addolgar nodded. See? You do understand.
Eyes closing, Braith sighed once more, her head dropping into her open hands. I cant believe I once thought you were adorable.
Really? Addolgar grinned. You think Im adorable?
Thats when Braith dropped to the bed, using a pillow to cover her face.
This short story was filled with what I come to expect from this series, lots of violence, lots of snark, and lots of hot sex. I really liked how Braith seemed to come into her own by the end of the story. That she realized that she was loved by her family and by a man. Addolgar had me laughing, mostly because he was so clueless. I loved that Addolgar managed to hold his own with Braith and her family.

I have skipped all around in this series, and I have to say, this book is my favorite one so far. The dialogue was not only funny, but action packed. I adored all of the characters. Also, the epilogue could very well be one of the best I've ever read. I cant wait to read more of this series.
I just CAN NOT get enough of this series! I am just absolutely obsessed! Once again G.A. Aiken has created a hilarious, witty, and sexy novel of gorgeous dragon shape shifters! I highly recommend this book to anyone familiar with the Dragon Kin series!
2.5 stars
As cheerfully violent as an Asterix comic--plus sex!--but not the best dragon kin book.
It's a bit too silly, and kind of repetitive, but still likeable.

This was so freaking cute. I loved it.
Addolgar the cheerful, son of Aileen and Shalin, is called before the queen to protect a Lady heading home. Braith of the Darkness is ordered by the Queen to be the ladys companion and keep her company. This trip leads to finding a plot to overthrow the queen.
I really liked Braith of the Darkness. She was such a kickass woman. She took no shit and had no problem beating the crap out of Addolgar and his family. Addolgar the Cheerful was an adorable, charming, goofy, and sometimes an idiot. I ...more

I swear I piss myself every time I read one of these tales.
Those dragons are absolutely hilarious.
And it is so good when one of the novellas remind you of the whole lot.
I can't wait to dive into the last book.

I listened to this with Romance Unlimited. Braith and Addolgar were a fun couple. I love that crazy Clan Cadwaladr. Hollie Jackson is an excellent narrator for the book. If you enjoy fun with your fantasy give these books a try. There are plenty of LOL moments.
This was lite, funny, and interesting lead to the deeper stories of the Dragon Kin . . .
It worked.
OK, reader's dilemma. On the same day you get a new book by G A Aiken, Julie Ann Walker and Thea Harrison - which one do you read first?
So I chose A Tale of Two Dragons and I was not disappointed. This had everything I love from G A Aiken, the Cadwalader clan, sympathetic heroines, kick-ass fighting and lots of sarcastic humour - oh, and dragons, lots and lots of dragons.
Poor Braith of the Darkness has had a lonely life. Her father is a tool and her brothers are his stooges. She is royalty but ...more

It was a wonderful short story about how Addolgar and Braith met.
I always find myself cracking up when I read the stories this author writes. I dont mean little scoffs to myself but actually laughing and having to hurry up and cover it to make sure I dont wake my husband up or get weird looks.
I liked Braith she was kick a** and she kicked a lot of a**. Her story was kind of heartbreaking but I loved the ending and her HEA.
