Twelve Nights as His Mistress by Elisa Braden
3.0
"Nothing is so tedious as maudlin self-sacrifice."
That line from the Dragon kind of sums up the lingering annoyance at the back of my mind. Come on Julia, let him decide how he wants to live his life! I feel sympathy, but can't bring myself to think it is romantic that she tries to run away all the time instead of talk to him. I'm not a fan of "the chase" trope.
I like the structure of this novella, where you get to see their relationship evolve through flashbacks. It was nice getting to know these characters better, as there are only short glimpses in the previous books in the series. Especially learning more about Charlie's relationship with his dragon mother.
