Dragon’s Hope by Miranda Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Before the generation ship crashed on this desert alien planet I was a Vagrant. Unplanned and unwanted, struggling to survive. 

Now we’re on Tajss and if not for the natives, seven foot tall dragon-men with wings and tails and scales, we’d all be dead. 

My new friends are finding love and I couldn’t be happier for them but I want to fit in, I want to have a place and a purpose. Strangely enough the only one who might understand is one of those scaled dragon-men. 

I wanted comfort and attention but it turns out ‘one night stand’ doesn’t translate into Zmaj. He wants more and won’t give up until he claims his treasure. Me.

The Hero: Astarot – he is a zmaj dragon from Draganoff. He has known for a while that Lana is his mate, his treasure. He knows she doesn’t see him that way but is content to wait for her to come around. He lives and works with humans; he doesn’t know any other males like him that are alone and don’t have mates. He feels he doesn’t belong.

The heroine: Lana – On the generation ship, she had been an outcast and a vagrant. Since it crashed her life has changed, and she is in the same boat as all the other human women on the planet. As a vagrant, she was always struggling to survive, she didn’t have a job like the rest of the ship’s population, vagrants are seen as a drain on the ship’s resources. Here on Tajss, she can help hunt and contribute.

The Story: Lana is interested in Astarot when she hears he has been watching her. She sees a kindred spirit in Astarot, since he feels he doesn’t belong, and she has always felt that way as well. Though Astarot, is shy and it is a bit hard to get to know him. Though she decides that she wants to hook up with him for the night, little does she know, that the zmaj don’t understand the concept of a one-night stand.

The pirates (slavers) that crashed the human ship might have still be out there on the planet. They have raided smaller villages in the past and captured slaves and could still be a threat. The story is decent and there is also the unrest between the humans. Many of the human men don’t like the fact that some of the women have mated to the zmaj.

The story on this one is pretty good; the two main characters end up having quite an adventure when they are out hunting. I don’t want to give away the plot, but they seem to keep getting out of the pot and into the fire every time there is danger.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Tristan James and Jillian Macie. These two aren’t my favorite narrators but they are ok. Tristan James has a bit of an odd tempo, and his voice isn’t as deep as I usually like. Jillian Macie is good at showing emotion through her voice but her voice kind of sounds like a high school student to me.
