My Review:
I've been on a DNF train these past few weeks and I loved that that didn't happen with this book! This was a surprisingly good read and a great introduction to this series. I regret all the years that I left this book sitting on my TBR shelf!
The heroine was kick*ss and sassy! She didn't take anyone's crap and stood up to the hero like it was no big deal. Though her dragon had a lot to say about that and by that, I mean innuendos galore! I loved every minute of it because it was hilarious! Due to this being a novella though the story felt a tad bit rushed but I hope the author rectifies that with the next book and expands on the heroine's secrets.
The hero was actually a standup guy. He teased her a lot from the beginning and it kept their conversations light and airy. There were serious moments and he didn't shy away from those either. I liked his overall demeanor and how he treated her like an equal.
Like I mentioned above, this is a novella so I understand it feeling rushed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the second novel in the series to not be this way. Overall, I really liked this story and I'm looking forward to following the characters on their journey!
My Favorite Quotes:
"He doesn't want to fight you, silly. Try another f-word."
"If he kept this up she'd die from his innuendos."
"Apparently she wasn't the only one running from the good ol' ball and chain."
