The Baby Dragon Cafe book review

 

Cosy fantasy and romantasy has been a genre that I have been interested in reading for a while so when I heard about this book I knew it was a great book to try it with. 


The Baby Dragon Cafe was a cosy and cute romantasy book that I found myself lost in and enjoyed reading.
We follow Saphira who owns a cafe open to baby dragons but what she wasn’t expecting when she initially opened was for her to have to replace so much furniture after it being burnt which leads to her being unable to cover her costs. And Aiden who is a gardener whose mischievous baby dragon is causing him disruption at work so he decides to ask Saphira to help him train his dragon and pay her enough to cover the cafe’s costs. They both hold the answers to the others problems but also know they are the others complete opposites. 


It took me a bit of time to be hooked by the story but once I was heavily invested in the story I just wanted to keep reading and just spend time with these characters. 


I found these characters to be ones who I wanted to learn more about and enjoyed spending time with. Saphira was a character who felt both understandable and relatable, she created such a cosy environment and I felt like that bled into her character. I also really liked seeing her relationships with the other characters because I felt like that gave me a wider picture of who else lived in this area. Aiden was a really interesting love interest and character as a whole. I could relate to him quite a lot and I liked seeing how he had been shaped as a person from the family he came from and his life experiences. By having two characters from very different backgrounds that are viewed differently by those in the world it was really interesting to see how that impacted their views and how they then tackled things in their lives and it was a contrast that I liked seeing and felt added to the world building. 


I absolutely loved the dragon aspect of the story. I found them to be really interesting, enjoyed learning more about them and oftentimes they made me laugh or just added some fun which I always love. 


Saphira’s cafe was such a cosy environment that I loved spending time in. It gave the entire story a super cosy feel which I was looking for as I dip my toe into cosy fantasy. That being said I would have liked it if there was more world building because I do feel like I have been left with some questions surrounding the world that I hope are answered in future books. However it didn’t ruin my reading experience and I almost expected it going into the story. 


Overall this was a super cosy romantasy book that I had a great time with. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to reading the sequels when they are released over the next year. I think I am most excited about the bookshop one. 


Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

  I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark.  Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship.  This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh.  Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

  I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours.  Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect.  This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it.  Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...
