These are alright—very silly, obviously. All of them follow the same plot and it's getting tired for me. Perhaps don't read them all back to back as I have done, and it will feel more enjoyable. There's apparently like, 4 more in the series that I am choosing not to continue onto at this time.
Also, this is so much less risqué than the cover looks. I feel embarrassed having it show up on my TL! If you're looking for some kind of really erotic fiction, this is not it.
2023 re-read:
So, I'm not going to lower my official rating, but I do think my reading tastes have changed over the years haha. This is a fun book, but not 5 stars – maybe 3.5 to 4. It is funny, the characters are great, and I'm having a fabulous time reading. I seriously can't seem to stop. But oh my God, there are so many plot holes and OTP ridiculous moments. Seriously, you're telling me these highly intelligent ladies who've read a multitude of books don't know how sex works? How men's genitals function? The reactions are good for a laugh, but it is becoming over done. How the villain escapes in this one makes absolutely no sense.
And yet, I'm 100% planning on continuing my re-read.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Let me start out by saying that I am sooooo glad I saw this book. Before I requested it, I decided to read the first book in the series (look at me being smart) and I fell in love with it. I read the second one and devoured it in a night– I stayed up to finish it. So, I requested this one and when I was approved, it took most of my willpower not to read and review it months earlier. Was the wait worth it?? YES.
Look, I'm not going to lie to you, this series can be goofy and silly and I do brush some things off as ‘meh' quality or ‘wow I can't believe that was included.' Yet, by the end of the book I don't really remember what they are because I enjoyed the book so. much.
It is fun. I laugh throughout the book. With this book the overarching bad guys are finally named and make the books feel more connected, making me even MORE invested. The characters are lovely, albiet sometimes too good to be true. (Wow I remembered a slightly negative aspect?!)And do I even need to mention the dragons again?! DRAGONS!
I'm a fan ^_^
If you are in the mood for a silly, fantasy romance pick up this series. While you don't need to read them in order, if you don't then prior couples and little things might be spoiled for you. Do yourself a favor and go pick up the first book in this series!
