Kiss of Smoke by Amy Pennza
2.0
This is so cheesy and has so many plot holes…
For example, aren’t they supposed to be on a work trip? There was no work done on this trip! They go to a castle and that’s where most of the book takes place. And in the end they all just decide to stay in Scotland?! What about their business in New York? Did they just abandon it???
Next, these men are basically breeders and that’s the whole 3rd act conflict. She overhears them talk about “bonding” with her and she gets upset because she thinks they only want to be with her to get her pregnant because there are no female dragons and honestly I felt the same way. But by the next chapter there’s no discussion about that. She just forgives them and is back with them??
The rest of the books in the “series” are standalones and tbh I’m kinda bummed we don’t continue following these characters because there’s a lot of frayed threads in this story that I want answers for and I have a feeling that if I read the other books I’m not going to get my answers: like home girl has powers and that’s BARELY explored.
If I get bored or need a palate cleaner I might pick up the other books in the series for a quick read (bc this novella was less than 200 pages) and I did get a good laugh out it but I don’t feel compelled to immediately read more of this world.
