A Dandelion for Tulip

Being(s) in Love, Book 6

By: R. Cooper

Narrated by: Michael Fell

A Being(s) in Love Story

David is in love with Tulip, a kind and unusually quiet fairy in his social circle. But everyone knows Tulip doesn't date humans. David tells himself he is happy to be Tulip's friend, because he doesn't believe a fairy could love him and Tulip has never tried to "keep him" - as fairies refer to relationships with humans.

Fairies are drawn to David, describing his great "shine", but David knows only too well how quickly fairies can forget humans, and thinks he's destined to be alone. He can't see his own brilliance or understand how desperately Tulip wants him, even if Tulip believes David can do better.

But exhausted and more than a little tipsy at a Christmas party, David makes his feelings too obvious for Tulip to deny any longer. Because of a past heartbreak involving a human, Tulip is convinced someone as shiny as David could never want a "silly, stupid fairy" in his life. Now, if he wants to keep David, he'll have to be as brave as his shiny, careful human.

cute story

I have enjoyed all the stories in this series. the narrator speaks a bit fast, but is good otherwise.

An emotionally satisfying book.

This is a lovely, understated story and Micheal Fell's performance only enhances it. David and Tulip have both been hurt before and their journey towards reaching out and learning to trust again is, while raw at times, very emotional. Though set in a world where magical creatures are real and intermingle with humans the central themes and plot are so universal and grounded in reality that it hardly feels like fantasy. There are no grand quests here, only people struggling to find their place in a world much like our own.

Fell emotes well without being cheesy and gives characters voices that are distinct but not distracting. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful narration, but slow it down a bit

Protip: listen to it on ×.85 speed. The actual performance was otherwise wonderfully done. The emotion was perfect and the voices excellent. Next time just slow down the actual reading a tiny bit more. Still a wonderful job.

it is worth it

the story is so much love in it i like it a lot because of the people in it and that you see some of the other people from the other books it is so wrth it

Poor Narration

The narrator mispronounced the word cocoa. Several times. Only literate people should be professional narrators.

There was little variety in character voices making it difficult to distinguish who was speaking.
