This book reads as if the original Story was written by a ten year old and uploaded on wattpad, and than put in ChatGBT to make it more appealing for older readers.
The dragons are more or less dogs with fire, the fmc is quite annoying and it feels as if every Single clichee was used on her ( all allone, smaler than the mmc, obviously silly etc) the mmc is just a ritch guy that feels the need to prodect someone he doesnt even know, he is also more than spoiler. Couldnt get over 60pages, than it was a clear dnf for me

saphira is finally realizing her dream of owning a café designed for baby dragons and their humans, but it’s proving to be much harder than she anticipated. the cost of replacing all the burnt furniture and equipment is more than saphira can keep up with. aiden, a local gardener and heartthrob, is more interested in his plants than in his disobedient baby dragon. the two strike a deal for saphira to train aiden’s baby dragon in exchange for receiving what she needs to keep the café going. along the way, the two start developing feelings for each other.
aamna qureshi is one of my favorite authors, so i was very excited to read her first adult novel! i loved the coziness of this book, from being set in a café to training a baby dragon to falling in love. that said, there were some heavier topics discussed, such as grief and classism, but these didn’t weigh on the overall mood too much. i loved saphira and aiden so much; they are the epitome of grumpy x sunshine. i had a lovely time reading this, and i can’t wait for the sequel!

Cozy romantasy + baby dragons, what more could you want? I really enjoyed reading this, and actually read it all in one sitting because I didn't want to put it down. Sparky is such a cute little guy, and I really enjoyed Saphira's bond with him, and watching his bond with Aiden develop through the book. I can't wait to read more on this series / universe!
