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 !

✅ Finished Nov 5, ‘22 

Despite two stars, I enjoyed this book. The author lists the tropes and Content Warnings at the beginning, which I loved because it meant nothing unexpected. Honestly read a bit like a fanfic because of that though (not that that's a bad thing!) 

Super simple story, a bit too short and I was a little disappointed in the bedroom scenes. The main characters was a bit quick to jump into this relationship which I found a bit unrealistic given her history, but also she married a dragon so who cares. 

Fun read, check the warnings!

I've done it. I've girl-bossed too close to the sun in my smutty book exploration. Did I enjoy it? I don't know. I was disturbed. But intrigued. But cringed. A lot. But also, he was so sweet? But then very much not so, also. Um. Well. It has been read, and perhaps the open-ended question of what is Azazel doing and the introduction of Eve (???) might be enough to bring me back for book two.

My first Katee Robert read and it was fun but obviously not life changing literature. I enjoyed reading it and the story was surprisingly cozy given the genre. Smut was good, although the breeding/pregnancy trope is not my preference. I agree with other readers that the end felt rushed.

First of all, just LOOK at that cover. I don't normally comment on covers but this one is just stunning. Fits the vibes of the book perfectly and is a great homage to the old illustrated clinch covers of the past. I want more covers like this!!

This was a surprisingly sweet and emotional romance, considering it's about a human woman who gets auctioned off to a dragon with two cocks. No plot, just sexy marriage of convenience vibes.
