This. This is exactly the kind of paranormal romance relationships I love. I just wish it was longer honestly. It had a few moments where it felt like bits were missing. But I adored the store. I loved the characters so much. Their relationship is so cute. It was funny and I could 100% see my self diving into the rest of the world and characters so easily. Sweet, spicy, wonderful.

Nova's short story moves deliciously fast. Serena, a non-op trans woman, meets her fated mate Pyre, a cis dragon god, after a long day of work on a film set. The set felt so rich and there's a decent amount of industry lingo that I really enjoyed. Ultimately Nova's magic system and the romance felt underdeveloped but that's not a tragedy due to the 99 pg length. There's a valuable conversation in here about how important it is to communicate with partners about preferred language, and the joy of acceptance rather than questioning. Nova's author's note is honestly the most valuable part of this short story.

This is a cute and easy read with some decent spice (i’d say 2, 2.5 on a scale of 1-5) and some great characters. I know it’s a short one (coming in at only 99 pages) but..I really wish some of the world building was done a little better. The first chapter left me wholly confused as to what was happening, and even upon finishing the book I don’t think I got the whole true offering and what they mean to the gods and why there has to be a contract thing. That being said, I dove straight into this book and I know this is part of a series so perhaps its explained better in other books leading up to this one. 

I did enjoy how cute Pyre and Serena were, the play in their relationship and just how readily Pyre put all of Serena’s fears to rest. Would read the other books in the series just to 1) hopefully find out the whole story about the offerings and gods and 2) learn about the other characters that we glimpsed. They seemed interesting.

Loved how obsessed the fmc is with the mmc, she just gets consumed by him. (No pun intended) they fit so well together despite their dangerous effect on each other. Also I felt the lgbtqia representation here was done in a positive way and their story was wrote just as any other love story.
