Book Recommendation ➱ The Dragon King's Bride an Enemies to Lovers Paranormal Romance by Danielle Lockhart

📖Book Info
I was prepared for assassins, cunning girls, and magic competitions. But I never considered the King would claim my heart.
The summons from the Dragon King was clear; any woman of age who has never been bedded or wedded must participate in the selection games for Queen consort.
The nobility are cutthroat and won't let anything stand in their way. Serf girls like me are easy pickings for assassins and not considered true competition for the throne.
But when the king's eyes flicked over me, I nearly gasped at what I saw. His bright blue eyes bore into my soul.
Igniting an unquenchable heat.
I thought he'd laugh at my weakness like others. But his touch made me shudder in pleasure instead.
This is all a game to him, and I want to go back to my quiet and peaceful life. So, I insult him, and instead of sending me home, he kept me.
Like a fool, I want him to touch me again.
But I have enough trouble staying alive and keeping my half-fae heritage a secret. Especially since the fae were the cause of the late king's death.
I'm sure the King would kill me if he ever found out.
Am I destined for death? Or will I become his fated Queen?
💭Our Thoughts
I truly wish this was longer
Did I enjoy it - ABSOLUTELY
Solid, easy-to-follow storyline (could have been longer but I'll get to that) with great characters that were easy to love or loathe
I would have liked it if some of the characters had had more history or backstory. More!
The story idea was solid five stars
I think for this to be a novella, it just sold the characters and what they faced together short. If that makes sense
There was so much here that could have been expanded on and I truly hope the next in the series fills in some of the blanks
Fae magic perhaps? How her mom got where she got (again this will make sense when you read the tale)? How his dad ended up dethroned?
I would like to have spent more time with our antagonists. I understood what was driving them but we didn't really get a chance to know them. It's a me thing
I would like to have been present when the two countries (you'll see what I mean) discussed the actions that would bring on the HEA
Would have liked more of our heroine's background and family
Despite my desire for more I still highly recommend this read
I devoured it quite literally in one sitting
Yes, I might be a tad greedy here but I liked the characters and I was invested in their story
