The Baby Dragon Café

Why, oh why, did I let myself be deceived by this colourful cover. I thought I would like it; it has dragons, coffee and romance. I realised pretty early in the book that it wasn't going to be a good match for me, but I didn't expect to dislike it this much. The FMC was irresponsible and naïve, the MMC lacked any kind of character and halfway through I completely had it with all the baby talk. There was no depth, no real connection between the characters and I felt like they were all just winging it in life.

This is a tale full of teenagers pretending to be adults. The way all the dragons are babies in this book, all the adults act like children. Bad selfcare, not taking responsibility for their flaws and just making bad decisions in general.

I am not normally a romance reader, but decided to give this book a chance purely based on my love of dragons as a concept. I kept seeing this book everywhere, so I ended up buying it. It felt like quite a cosy read, quite predictable but I liked the idea of essentially a cat cafe, but dragons. However, it felt very repetitive, both in the story line but in the fact that the same words and phrases were repeated throughout. It sometimes felt as though I were reading the same sections over and over again! The writing style does leave a lot to be desired and is quite poor, and doesn't actually seem to have been proofread. I love the ideas that the story introduces, but it could have been written so, so much better!

Despite this, I am looking forward to the two upcoming books teased at the end of the story - The Baby Dragon Bakery and The Baby Dragon Bookshop. I'll keep my fingers crossed for them.
