I need a plan to stop checking out my bodyguard—you know, my dad’s best friend.

Step One: Stop staring at his tush. Uhhhh… don’t really want to. Step Two: Find someone else to obsess over. Well, that’s not gonna happen. Step Three: Try not to jump him. My dad’ll kill him if I don’t keep my hands to myself.

Roman is driving me nutso. He’s always with me, no matter where I go, no matter what I’m doing, no matter what. He’s. Always. There.

Not that I actually want him to go away… then all I’d do is wonder where he is.

We’re doing our best to complete our missions and keep the people of Gauhala safe, but things are getting complicated and Roman is so distracting. My eyes—and my body—always move toward him. Sigh. And he’s so delicious-looking, I just really, really want to lick him.

If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him checking me out too. This is definitely a recipe for disaster. The Dragon's Devoted Defender is the fourth and final book in Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala, an MX (male/nonbinary) urban fantasy romance filled with lots of sass, fated mates, dad’s best friend, gentle humor, and cozy found-family vibes. The series follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world, but you don’t need to listen to the other series first, although there will be familiar faces along the way.

I’ve been so looking forward to Oakley and Roman’s story and it was everything I wanted it to be and so much more.

These two were so damn beautiful together and totally clueless as to how the other felt. I was rooting for them every step of the way.

Poor Oakley’s past catches up with him. Facing his past isn’t easy and the trauma he went through broke my heart.

Brilliant book! It was emotional, heartbreaking yet beautiful in all the right places. These two amazing people won my heart over.

I throughly enjoyed the narrator’s performance. He made a characters come alive during his performance. He’s definitely one of my favourite narrators.

Absolutely amazing!!!!

This book is filled with romance intertwined with action, humour, and a ton of loving found family. I've been waiting for Roman and Oakley's story and I was not disappointed. They are just so sweet together and so good for each other. It took them both a while to understand what they were to one another, but once they did they went from sweet to adorable interactions. The humour helped alleviate the atrocity of the trafficking ring in the side plot. It was good to see that overarching plot resolved. I am looking forward to the new series where the vampires finally find love.
5 stars for narration -
Zachary Zaba creates his usual magic with his wonderful narration. He manages to differentiate between the different characters' voices, all while keeping appropriate pacing and engaging expression. I highly recommend reading the story through the audiobook.

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook and Zachary Zaba narrating Roman was just as I imagined he would sound whilst I was reading the book. Listening to this story brought back how much Oakley had grown in confidence after being rescued from the cult, and seeing their feelings for Roman flourish. Although I did keep smiling when Oakley wanted to lick Roman, it reminded me of that saying "I licked it, it's mine" I laughed out load when Garrick lost it, and he was more growly than Roman.
The threat to the supernatural world was more intense and full of action and listening to these scenes showed how dangerous Oakley and Roman's jobs were
This was such a good narration and I loved Oakley and Roman

The narration was just how I imagined
