Genre: Fantasy Romance

When a spirited young woman with a penchant for adventure finds herself locked away in a dragon’s tower, she realizes that fate has a peculiar sense of humor when it comes to her romantic prospects in this laugh-out-loud fantasy rom-com, perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The Dragon's Bride.

All children are told fairytales. Some are epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists but others are tales of pitiful princesses trapped in boring towers pining for their Prince Charmings to come and rescue them. But one young woman always hated those stories. Why didn't they get up and rescue themselves? Little did she know that her own fate would take a similarly ironic turn. Because now, here she is. Stuck. In a tower. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn't just let you get up and leave.

Who knew?

And just when she thinks she sees hope on the horizon, that hope is smashed to bits by—you guessed it—another damn dragon.

**spoiler alert** 

This series brings me so much joy. I am ravenous for all of the side characters to get their HEAs. 

There's just something about a high fantasy book that reads like a contemporary that works so well for me. Anything that makes dragons more accessible is going to be a win in my books! 

I have a lot of feelings about poor baby Gideon. There's grief and then there's kidnapping a woman and holding her hostage on your secluded island for 5 years. But after spending those 5 years with a dragon who wouldn't speak to her, I love that Cherry's first thought after seeing someone new is....let me drug him and manipulate him into getting me outta here! Manifest your own dreams, Cherry!! 

I'm really interested to see how Boohail is going to handle two territorial dragons hanging around. Sounds like we're going to have a mass migration of demons to the south? And they deserve it after being locked away in constant winter for centuries. Come get your tans, bebes!
