Who May Not Like This Book:

Those who aren’t into erotically charged stories or dislike surprise pregnancy tropes might not love this one. Some may find the heroine’s inner monologue a bit much, especially in the beginning, or struggle with the emotional distance of the male lead at first. If you prefer fantasy romance that’s light on heat, or you’re put off by the mention of multiple appendages and explicit content, you might want to skip this one.

A surprisingly heartfelt, spicy fantasy romance that pairs a relatable witch with a brooding dragon shifter - equal parts steamy and touching. A great pick for monster romance fans who want both plot and feels.
