This is a delightfully cozy marriage of sapphic Fantasy and Rom-Com made into a fabulously fun and enjoyable novel, Dungeons & Dragon Dating is the story of two wonderful women (a witchy cafe owner and a hardened battle mage) who have each sworn off dating but end up on a on a blind date (set up by a miniature dragon matchmaker) and thrown together into a cursed forest "dungeon" full of monsters.

While this is a light read, it has emotional arcs and has our MCs tackling topics like grief and the damage the wrong partner can do to one's own sense of self and confidence. These two women need to battle through the reasons they have refused to open themselves to love, all while trying to stay and keep each other alive when facing bugbear zombies, and other deadly forces.

Recommended for those who enjoy cozy LGBTQ fantasy romances like, Legends & Lattes, Can't Spell Treason Without Tea or Cursed Cocktails. It's utterly charming.

Just the cutest, funny, sweet YA rom-com with the main characters as D&D playing high school nerds. We need more books about nerds finding love and acceptance from those in their lives. I adored this.

I loved this book. However, I can see how it might not be for everyone.

This story is mostly a cozy fantasy with a quite a bit of humor but the actual plot moves not a lot in this book of the series.In spite of it being a chonky sized book of 700 pages, Between doesn’t get get far in the story. Right in the MIDDLE of the book, it ends and Part 2 begins again at the very start with the POV shifted to the MMC (only a few scene repeats overlap with Sasha, the MC in part 1).

My biggest complaint is that the next book is not out yet. Absolutely recommend, just prepare yourself for a lack of resolution in this book.
