Serpents of Sky and Flame by Rebecca F. Kenney
Did not finish book. Stopped at 34%.

Borderline “monster” romance, not a genre I prefer. The book was just not what I was expecting. I thought it was a dragon-shifter romance (maybe the MMC eventually will turn into a human/shifter?). So far, MMC is a dragon (non-shifter), and the FMC is human….

A Sword of Shadow and Deceit by Lucinda Dark, Lucy Smoke
