Hoarded by the Dragon by Lillian Lark
5.0
Hoarded by the Dragon is a monster romance with all the feels and plenty of tropes including grumpy x sunshine, accidental pregnancy, forced proximity, and found family. When former thief Katarina gets pulled in for one last job, the last thing she expects to be met with is a dragon in heat. When the dragon, Kalos, catches her stealing from his hoard, Katarina proposes that in return for some relief from his heat, she can take the object she came for and leave come morning. However, when she finds herself pregnant after the night they spent together, she has no choice but to go back to Kalos due to pregnancy complications. When Kalos learns of the baby, he demands that Katarina stay with him under his protection as he has many enemies who would love nothing more than to extort the fact that he now has a weakness. With an unexpected pregnancy looming over them and a need for constant contact, the two find themselves in limbo when Katarina begins falling for Kalos and he is reluctant to open up and give himself to her after a past full of grief and loss.
Wowee. I am a Lillian Lark fan through and through and I enjoyed how this was so different from her other books. I loved how the story progressed and Kalos slowly opened himself up to be loved again, grief was heavy on the mind throughout the book but I never felt like it was too much. There was a balance of sweetness and angst that I greatly appreciated. Katarina was an absolute gem and I loved that she came out of her shell and stood up for herself and what she wanted, she was not about to let Kalos hurt herself or their baby. As with every other Lillian Lark story, this had a generous amount of spice, Kalos has two......if you catch my drift. This is the fourth book in the Love Bathhouse series, but, this is an interconnected standalone that can be read on its own. I absolutely recommend this book and the whole series, each one is so vividly dreamy and charming.
~Many thanks to Lillian Lark for an ARC of this book in return for an honest review!
