About this listen
I have never in my life met anyone as infuriating as that dragon. So then why do I keep wanting to spend time with him?
Step One: Find a gorgeous guy. Check.
Step Two: Talk to said gorgeous guy. Check.
Step Three: Try not to strangle him. Uh… do I really have to check this one? Because I really want to wrap my fingers around his—ugh.
Garrick Von Stein is the most frustrating person I’ve ever met, and yet, as soon as he calls me for help, I jump right in. Every single time. Why? I have no idea. I mean, I really do like to look at the dragon shifter king, but that doesn’t explain this strange pull, this need, I feel to be near him.
He doesn’t even like me—believe me, I’d know—but for some reason he trusts me. And the weirdest thing of all? I trust him too.
Now if only we could find a way to work together to keep him and everyone else safe.
The Witch’s Grumpy Dragon is Book 1 of the new MM urban fantasy series, Brinnswick: Tales from Gauhala. It follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world in the far away country of Gauhala and brings a whole new cast of characters. But don't worry, there will be some cameos along the way.

Story
When ghostwriter Maz Amani inherits a house from an uncle he’s never heard of, he offers heartfelt thanks to the universe, packs up his car, his cat, and his skepticism about mysterious uncles leaving all their worldly goods to unknown nephews, and high-tails it to a small town halfway to the Oregon coast. Anything would be better than week after week of couch surfing his way around Portland. Even if the alleged house is a rundown shack ridden with termites, spiders, and—shudder—rats, he’ll deal. Because hey, he owns a house!

When the aliens welcome them with open arms—and tentacles—Levi is wary. No strangers are that nice. Especially not seven-foot-tall teal dudes with more "feelers" than you can shake a stick at. But Levi's suspicion fades when the smoldering alien Zat'tor takes an unusual interest in him. He never got this much attention back on his own planet, and no human man ever made his heart flutter the way Zat'tor does. Amid their budding relationship, Levi discovers the shock of his life. Can he ever return to Earth? But more importantly, does he even want to?

Story
Dragons were dying. All over the world, a curse was taking us out one by one, and nobody knew how to stop it. I watched my mother burn, I watched my little brother fall sick. That's when Robby practically falls into my lap, with his big brown eyes and charming smile and his penchant for being hunted by vampires. After saving him twice from certain death, we soon come to realize that there's a reason he's being hunted. And that reason may be the answer to all our problems, and the start to a whole new set of them.

Sascha has always felt powerless, the weak baby of a cruel family. But that’s fine. He has his looks, his ample allowance, and a smattering of one-night stands to keep him busy. But when Sascha’s oldest brother offends the wrong people, Sascha finds himself in hiding with a target on his back. And when poking around in his temporary home leads to accidentally summoning the hottest demon Sascha could ever imagine, he has to ask himself: does he want to feel powerless anymore?

Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell's Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory's barren desert—and into an unexpected opportunity. It isn't the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it's exactly the job he needs.

Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that's all I'm saying). It's not like I'm stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there's nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying.

A chance to move to Mystic Hollow (aka Monsters Hollow) to be a well-paid manny for two adorable orclings? Talk about a dream position. Sold! But when I lock eyes with the seriously sexy orc who's their guardian—and my new de facto boss—for the first time, I'm a goner. Big, muscular, and green all over–he's giving me full-on Hulk meets stern professor vibes—and I like it.

Yes, he does. And he's not sure why it's happening or what to do about it. But it gets worse. Way worse and deadlier than Lucas had ever thought possible. Running for his life, he ends up in a small town named Saint Lakes and right into the arms of a dragon shifter who claims to be his fated mate.

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

How could a fire mage who couldn't control his magic and a vampire ever be together?

For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Living in Christmas Town doesn’t make me a fan of the holidays. Quite the opposite. In fact, eleven months out of the year, I’m perfectly happy running my bookstore in peace and quiet. Of course, that changes in December when it’s mistletoe madness and mayhem. Ugh. But this year, there’s a new cowboy in town and it’s not as easy to grumble about…anything. I admit, Hudson is handsome and hunky, but everyone knows I’m not myself till January, so he’ll have to buzz off and charm someone else.

Weirdly, people don’t react overly well when you’re caught standing over the dead body of a murderer who’d walked free. It’s not that I thought my fellow homicide detective would rejoice when he saw what I’d done, but is a pat on the back too much to ask for? Maybe a gold star at the very least? The problem is that the person who caught me is Gabriel, the only person I care for and adore… and he’s prepared to look the other way if I leave homicide and promise to never kill again.

I really enjoyed this book. the narrator was amazing. The story itself was fun to listen to. I love a good grumpy/Sunshine book. fated mates not being called fated mates was unique and I didn't like it. Book has it all action, love, a little bit of spice, and found family. I can't wait for the next one.

Second Time Around
After reading the book, getting a chance to listen to the audiobook was a treat. I loved the book. Tan and Garrick journey to forever after was lovely. You really don't notice too much of this being a slow burn romance which makes this such a great read/listen. I loved this paranormal world and the side characters made this entertaining. The narrator did an good job with the voices and also kept it entertaining. I highly recommend listening to this romance definitely if you read the book first. NICE!

Underneath the Grumpiness!
This was very fun on audible. Michael Lesley gave every character their own voice and really brought out the quirky personalities. Garrick was actually a soft-hearted dragon who was hiding away from opening up to trusting others again. With Tan being there to help protect him they end up spending a lot of time together. We could see how smitten Garrick truly was with his protector witch! Loved all the cameos and side characters too.

Great!!!
"The Witch’s Grumpy Dragon" by Michele Notaro is a great addition to the wider Brinnswick/Ellwood world created by the author. Tan and Garrick are great for each other and make for a fun and interesting romance, that requires understanding and healing.
The world this book is set in is a favorite of mine to revisit and I love that more of the world is being explored. This is the first in a new series and can stand on its own, but I recommend reading the previous books set in the world, especially "The Wolf's (Un)Lucky Fae" as it's a prequel and helps set up this book. There are also some characters from other books that make appearances and knowing who they are adds to the fun.
I have now read the eBook and listened to the audiobook narrated by Michael Lesley. Wow! Just Wow! I love how audiobooks can add so much to books but this was a big difference. I highly enjoyed my eBook read of this book but this audio had me in tears at parts. The added emotion the added tensions and just everything, was amazing. This audiobook solidifies why Michael Lesley is a favorite narrator and will probably always be one.
I received a copy of this book and audiobook and this is my honest opinion.

Dragon and a witch love story
This was my first Dragon shifter book I read/listened to. I was intrigued by the blurb and although its not my regular pick, I was curious about this troop.
story wise I loved it. the story line was interesting and had lots of action. at times I was very invested and felt my heartbeat goes up. For me, it was too slow burn and not enough spice.
The narrator was too dramtic in my opinion, and also very slow paced. I listen at 1.3 speed which I never did until now. The positive I found is that he has a special voice for every character which I liked.
overall, the book was good but probably wont listen to this narrator again.

Emotional depth - by Shana W
I read this in ebook form and loved it, here is my original review:
'I loved this book; once again, Michele Notaro did not disappoint! It's a slow burn romance that features grumpy/sunshine and fated mates tropes. It is well written and nicely paced, with fabulous character development. Garrick is grumpy but in a sweet way. Tan, a death witch, tells it like it is and isn't afraid to take the king down a peg or two. Garrick can't help but give in to him. I really enjoyed how their relationship unfolded. I love the side characters; Garrick's friend Roman is impudent but loyal, and I would love to have a familiar like Orangelico. This entertaining story has elements of suspense, action, humour and romance.'
I'd like to add my impressions now that I have listened to the audiobook. The narrator, Michael Lesley, is fantastic. He was able to do different voices and accents (if needed) for each character, which I really enjoyed. Between those, and his pacing and expression, he really added emotional depth to the story, especially the parts with Oakley, Garrick's son, and his ex-wife Sylra. I highly recommend the audiobook, as it takes an entertaining book to the next level.
I received an audiobook copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Slow Burn for Fated Mates
Garrick and Tan are a formidable force once they come together but getting together proved difficult for these fated mates. Garrick is a dragon king seemingly out of touch with his kingdom. Tan works/co-owns a security firm with his best friend, Remy and Garrick has contracted them for protection. Upon their first meeting, there is a smoky connection between the two but it seems to have vastly different meanings for dragon and witch. Tan feels Garrick is entitled, arrogant, unyielding, and most other adjectives when describing a spoiled king. However, after a direct attack on Garrick, he requests the services of Tan alongside his confidant and best friend Roman. As Tan begins to learn more and more about Garrick, he realizes his prior notions are not only wrong but Garrick has consistently been deceived throughout his long life and much of what was known was due to a curse from many years ago. Tan and Garrick become closer and closer and finally take their relationship physically after an intimate introduction to dragon lore. Garrick is still terrified to reveal the true nature of their connection but soon the powers aiming to tear Garrick down get too close to his beloved and truly all hell breaks loose. Can these two find their HEA? With the blasts that come with the past be too much to overcome or does love truly never fail and conquer all?
I enjoyed this story and the action but at times it dragged along and I felt that some of the animosity was so weird. It should be noted I have not read other stories within the other towns but it still feels odd even with the explanation as to why it may be that way. I also felt like while the romance was high, the intimacy was lacking at times, it would be a glimpse of hotness then back to high school rules.
I enjoyed the narrator and their take on all of the various voices. I never felt lost about who was speaking or their intention. I listened on 1.40 and the tempo felt perfect for me, I typically listen on 1.25 and that felt wildly slow.
