Review

I have a serious love for dragons…especially grumpy ones.


This is an excellent audiobook. Michael Lesley is thoroughly engaging and brings it to life.  I didn’t want it to stop.


Garrick and Tan are such wonderful characters. 


Garrick is a reclusive dragon King and it’s such a compelling backstory that brought him to this point. I can’t imagine what he’s lived through. 


And I love Tan, such a great heart who sees the good even before he understands Garrick.


The whole story is fascinating and as the story unfolds and more information is revealed you become obsessed with finding out how it ends. Because you will be ready to fight beside them for their happy ending.

Synopsis

I have never in my life met anyone as infuriating as that dragon. So then why do I keep wanting to spend time with him?

Step One: Find a gorgeous guy. Check.

Step Two: Talk to said gorgeous guy. Check.

Step Three: Try not to strangle him. Uh… do I really have to check this one? Because I really want to wrap my fingers around his—ugh.

Garrick Von Stein is the most frustrating person I’ve ever met, and yet, as soon as he calls me for help, I jump right in. Every single time. Why? I have no idea. I mean, I really do like to look at the dragon shifter king, but that doesn’t explain this strange pull, this need, I feel to be near him.

He doesn’t even like me—believe me, I’d know—but for some reason he trusts me. And the weirdest thing of all? I trust him too.

Now if only we could find a way to work together to keep him and everyone else safe.

The Witch’s Grumpy Dragon is Book 1 of the new MM urban fantasy series, Brinnswick: Tales from Gauhala. It follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world in the far away country of Gauhala and brings a whole new cast of characters. But don't worry, there will be some cameos along the way.

About Michele Notaro

Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well.

She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!

REVIEW: Breakthrough by Ana Ashley (Dads of Stillwater #2)

BREAKTHROUGH Dads of Stillwater - Book Two by Ana Ashley Release Date: October 11, 2022 Review Glad to be back in Stillwater, where the number of gay/bi single dads is high (must be something in the water)! Ana always writes lovely and thoughtful stories of beautiful men with depth. Milo and Ellis are no different. Milo is young and sweet but also strong and resilient. He’s been dealt many blows in life but never gives up. Especially when’s got an infant to care for. Ellis is an older kindergarten teacher. Steady, caring, and always ready to help out. He’s been hurt though, so he’s shy about the idea of dating, especially a much younger man. I loved both of them. They were both kind-hearted and wore their hearts on their sleeves, even if they didn’t think they did. I also loved that despite their ages and the imbalance in their financial situations, they also felt like equals. They both had something to bring to the table. The story has enough twists, turns, and emotions to feel comple...

REVIEW: 7 Minutes in Kevin by DJ Jamison (Games We Play #3)

  7 MINUTES IN KEVIN Games We Play - Book Three by DJ Jamison Release Date: November 10, 2022 Review I’ve really enjoyed this series of young friends finding love at the hands of party games. This third book has been teased in previous stories. That of Kevin and his immense crush on his friend's dad. With a significant age gap, Kevin’s insecurity over his gender fluidity, and Garrett’s job that has him on the road 3 weeks out of 4 every month, these two have a few hurdles to navigate if they want to get their happy ending. Though Garrett accepts his bi-sexuality with relative ease, there is still the need to come out and face how others will feel about it. I didn’t connect as well with these two as I have the others, but they still make for an enjoyable story that I have no doubt folks will love.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis 7 minutes in...holy heck, what have I done?! What happens when I return early from a work trip to find my son throwing yet another party?...

  PLAYING DIRTY Miami Piranhas - Book 0.5 by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 12, 2023 Audio Release Date: April 26, 2023  Review Oh my, these two are the definition of cute. Not animosity or rivalry. Just nice guys who want to see someone else do well. In the process of them lifting each other up and supporting one another, they find not just a friendship but a strong love. If you’re looking for something low-angst with two really adorable guys being young men, living their dreams, and finding love, then you can’t go wrong with Playing Dirty. It was also a fantastic audiobook. Narrated by Darcy Stark, he made it highly enjoyable, capturing them both so well. It really made my work day pass a lot faster.

He absolutely does not want Tristan Nicholson. His complete and total opposite. His teammate. His compe...
