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!

Briar is on her last string. Her abusive husband has found her and made it clear the next time he sees her, she won't be surviving.
Sol is a dragon man and Chief of his territory.
To escape her husband and hopefully save her life, she signs a deal with a demon. 7 years and then she is free to return to her life in her world.
When Sol bids on her, they have to get married so that if any children are conceived during their time together, they will legally be Sols as well as Briars.

Can they work things out? Will they fall in love? Will Briar leave at the end of her 7 years?

This was a super steamy story with fun side characters and strong main characters. I really enjoyed this story and it was a quick read.

An overall good read that I finished rather quickly: simple, straight to the point. Personnally, I quite enjoyed the Male Lead and the way he approaches his romance with the heroine. The relationship is sweet and romantic with some "spicy" scenes (rather tame for me, but for some, it might be enough). 
The s*x scenes were well written and did not make me wanna wash my eyes with bleach. I recommend this novel for you, if you want some plot as well as some spice !

Might read the following novel soon enough !
