  DRAGON AU Because Canon Sucks Series by AM Rose Release Date: June 10, 2026 Review My first book by AM Rose, and it was an entertaining story. It was a fascinating and quirky world-building. Milo is a fiercely loyal protector of the underdog.  Working multiple jobs to care for elderly people whom he considers family. Which is how he finds himself chained to a tree. Trying to protect their home from Rowan’s company.  One bit later, and Rowan is teaching Milo about being a dragon.  Which, yes, sounds as chaotic and fun as you think. And somewhere along the line, they go from enemies to lovers, and Milo teaches Rowan how to stand up for his passion, rather than obligation. Can’t wait to read more in this multi-author series.

  THE FIGHT FOR DRAGON ISLE by David Gray Release Date: January 1, 2026 Review Really creative and interesting take on a dragon and magical romance. I really enjoyed both Blaze and Omar. These almost teenage lovers, driven apart years ago, are reunited on a critical mission to save an island of dragons against their mutual school foe. It’s creative, and I really enjoyed that aspect that Blaze, the human and his dragon were two different but connected people.  It’s not uncommon for their shifter side to be ‘other’ but here they are individuals, and it’s fun to listen to their inner monologues! The ‘case’ they were on was also really interesting. I would love to see more from them and the others in the world.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Escape into a world of unlikely heroes and evil villains, of brave dragons and fairytale kisses. Blaze is a dragon shifter, using his talents to find isolated dragons and introduce them to the world-spanning collective of s...

  COURTING THE DRAGON WARRIOR A Royal Arrangement - Book Two by Gigi Rivers Release Date: March 6, 2026 Review Fantastic Story.  Loved their personalities, the path of their relationship, and their romance. It had a perfect amount of push and pull, secrets and lies, desire and fear. Meeting for the peace treaty isn’t the first time they’ve met; they just didn’t realize how deep that connection took them.  As times go, they find themselves falling in love, but secrets remain, and others are plotting against them and their families. It’s a powerful connection and love, and thoroughly enjoyable. Probably my favourite couple so far! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Two princes from enemy kingdoms.
