The moment I finished the first book in this series I went looking when the second book was gonna be released. The first book was exactly the breath of fresh and positive air I needed after reading a few too many depressing novels and I wanted more. I wanted more dragons. I wanted more romance. I wanted more misunderstandings and regency drama. Luckily the second book was gonna be released soon and even better via the author I could get an arc!

I was insanely happy when I discovered that Mr. Aubrey was gonna be the love interest in this book. I had already fallen in love with him in the first book and I was quite happy that someone else was finally gonna notice that him being focussed on only those things that interest him is endearing and promises only the best for the girl he's gonna find interesting. And after meeting Rose it didn't surprise me that she was the right girl for him.

They are the kind of match I really want to see in books. They're completing each other. At first glance they seem to be opposites, but then you notice that they actually have the right talents and personalities to fit together perfectly. Rose is an act first and think later kind of girl with a huge heart. If she could take care of every living being in the world, she would. Aubrey thinks first and acts later, but it are especially his observational skills helping Rose to solve her issues.

The true stars of the story however were the dragons. I already really loved the dragon in the first book, but I might love these little dragons, especially since they're still so young and sound insanely cute, even more. I also loved how we discovered that dragons can have many different gifts, some a little more useful than others. The author came up with quite a dark plot for them, but luckily the ending of the book is really satisfying.

I WANT MORE REGENCY DRAGONS BOOKS!

It’s a book with puppy-sized dragons! So why do I find myself bawling at 4am?

I both read and listened to this book, and I had SO MUCH FUN! The hilarious situations Rose found herself in, her adorable family, and the witty banter made me laugh so much -- and the depictions of grief, the compassion for the dragons, the gentle support of Mr. Aubrey, and the dose of heavy practicality about what it meant to be a woman in that period almost made me cry. I was so angry at Sir Gareth's threats, and so relieved by the ending. This book really brought all the emotion, and I enjoyed it all the more as I listened to Emma Newman's spectacular performance. This is definitely a book to revisit, and I hope the author writes another installment in this series soon!

Note: I also really loved that, for once, I got to see a name similar to my own in fiction.
