The setting and the main character's narration were fun, but the characters and romance were extremely underdeveloped. They fell in love in like 5 days, and I just didn't see any bonding moments where they really got to know each other. I couldn't see what they loved about each other besides finding each other hot. Fallon was too possessive for my taste, and I didn't care for the dubcon.

I had so much fun reading this book. The adventure, the sex and the comedy. It was all so good, but there were a few awkward and/or cringy moments. I personally hate it when there is stuttering in a book. It takes me right out of it. I have suffered through my own many years of poorly written 2010s Wattpad fanfics (please understand this is not saying this is a Wattpad-level story, nor am I saying that Wattpad stories themselves are bad). I did find it to be a little vanilla and there could have been more sex scenes. This being said, sometimes you need to settle down with a cheesy, smutty book over the weekend.

This is one of those books that would’ve ranked so much higher if it had more editing support. 

This is a really funny romp of a book where a spice trader and the dragon that wants to marry her go on a quest to save the world. Unfortunately the writing is pretty juvenile and raw, which often breaks you out of the story. 

I liked the characters introduced and the glimpses of the world Lemming is building, but it just wasn’t pulled off enough to convince me to read the next one. Might be good for a book slump. This writing style also might work better for audio, not sure.

This book feels like I fell asleep while reading a romance novel as my husband played D&D in the next room.

Hilarious book. Lots of laugh out loud moments and no battles that go on forever.
