Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - The Dragon's Bride

Solid read it was quick and fast-paced. The author has several in the series, so there is a little world building that's a little bumpy but sets up an interesting series, I bet.

I always imagine with dragons it would be a twist on the damsel in the castle, this was comfortably more beauty & the beast! It was done pretty well, and the dragon character was sweet, actually. Refreshing takes on patience and understanding after our main character gets out of a physically abusive relationship and rebuilding herself. I really like the take of signing the demon contract but they are actually really good and set it up well enough - the triggering thing for me is when the dragon took off her birth control amulet in the heat of the moment and those demons swooped right in to save the day (imo - they eneded up being the conflict so booo. I thought this was great that they were looking out for her this way) and yeah, this was his fault. She tries to play it off as hers, but that's bs.

Anyway, if you have tokophobia, there is stuff in here that is awful to make your way through. I didn't know what this book was about, but I've learned my lesson to read up on stuff in this particular book genre.

This is my second or third monster romance series I've read so far (but my first from Katee Robert for monster romance, specifically – I've read some of her Dark Olympus series and loved that!), so I'm still learning a lot about the genre. By far, this was definitely the spiciest monster romance I've read yet. Especially since Sol, the dragon man MMC in the story, is more dragon than man in all the ways that count. Really enjoyed Sol & Briar's relationship overall for such a quick read. Demon bargains, mating frenzies and good good spice? Sign me up. I absolutely plan to read the other books in the series, probably just a little spaced out in between or else I might burn out on all the spiciness.

Fun note: I actually got to talk about this read during a book club meeting at my local indie and that was a fun time! I highly recommend talking with other bookish people (who probably enjoy smut as this read fits that bill) about this read because we all had a good time trying to work through the logistics of how some particular scenes went down 🤪
