The Baby Dragon Cafe is truly a cinnamon roll of a book. It’s warn and gooey and sugary sweet in a way that’s a little sickly at times but so enjoyable you can’t help but gobble it up.
I think marketing this as a romantasy was a mistake and I have a feeling it could leave people feeling somewhat disappointed. This was very much a contemporary romance; with the caveat of there being dragons (which were essentially a mash up of toddlers and puppies and ridiculously fun!)
The writing was enjoyable but simplistic and because of this, while I very much warmed to them, the characters did feel a tad two dimensional at times. That being said, it didn’t bother me all that much because it was such a comfortable and easy read. I simply had a good time and that was enough for me.
Overall, with its low stakes and cosy slow burn romance, this incredibly cutesy story was a delight to read and I very much look forward to returning to this world with the sequel.
What to expect:
- slow burn
- grumpy x sunshine (but he’s actually just shy)
- small town
- he cooks for her
- fake marriage
- only one bed
- closed door/fade to black
- cinnamon roll vibes all round
