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

For my 2023 rating system I gave this book 3 stars. I wanted to give this book a try because let's be honest, I was of course curious. The spicy scenes were there, which is literally why I got the book. The plot was... not really a plot. Briar's actions and the things she said a lot of time didn't really make sense but did help push whatever semblance of plot was in this story along. Forced marriage trope is always a good time though. Overall, I hesitate to recommend this book unless kinky monster stories are your thing... and then I would say give it a go because it was interesting.

honestly chapter 17 and 18 were crazy. I was told the smut is gooood but I didn't expect it to be that good. Sol was so hot in those smut scenes. Honestly one of the best primal kink smut scenes I have read yet.

Tbh I'm a bit sad bcs I wish this book was longer. Definitely a one day sitting kinda book. This is the kind of book I wouldn't have minded having 500+ pages.
Anyway I don't regret picking this book up. <3

I keep returning to this review because I feel like adding one more star every time I think back on this book. It was a wholesome, heartwarming, thoughtful story of an unlikely couple, featuring heckton of spice, outstanding resolution and trope handling, trauma included.

I will forever chase the feelings this book evoked in me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
