Closet Baby Chronicles #1
How to Hide Your Dragon Baby
What's worse than becoming a single dad? When your baby is secretly a dragon shifter.
Dragons don't exist. At least, that was what Elson used to believe, until he's suddenly the legal guardian of a nine-month-old baby. Who breathes fire.
There are precious few resources on how to care for a dragon child. Worse, his rent is way overdue, and a towering hulk of a man is at his door demanding payment.
In his desperation, Elson offers himself as compensation. One night of service for a week's shelter.
But the problem might be too big for him to handle. Yaeger is no human, and he's starting to see through Elson's pretenses that baby Sunnie is just a regular child...
This is a 46k-word dragon shifter MPreg novella. Get ready for a baby who sprouts wings at the most inconvenient times, a politically-incorrect main character, size difference, tail shenanigans, sentient shopping carts, and a sappy HEA! No cheating!

Another new-to-me author, another big fail.
This story is beyond ridiculous in every conceivable way.
There's no world building whatsoever.
There are dragons, shifters, vampires, alchemists (who can turn people to dust with bare hands), and sentient trolleys (shopping carts).
There are also cars, grocery stores, and smart phones, but in this world you're responsible for your sibling's debt, don't need a doctor's appointment for an ultrasound, and someone can just hand you a baby no questions asked.
There are dragon cocks and lots of cum, but the plot makes no sense.
The character are cookie-cutter. The dragon shifter is growly and possessive, and Elson is a damsel in distress.
If you need further proof that rating inflation is prevalent on Goodreads and that some authors pay for positive reviews, this trash has an overall rating of 4.02 stars, while Soul Eater, Lily Mayne's brilliant debut novel, has 4.28. I rest my case.

4 stars! ❤️ Loved this out-of-the box story; I normally don’t read this genre, but was tempted after reading a few reviews. This was an incredibly sweet, very funny and very very steamy magical creatures book.. 😍😍 I was enthralled by this world, the characters, the MCs and their friends. It was marvelously entertaining. Highly recommended to fans of the paranormal genre who enjoy equal amounts of fun ❤️and heat 🔥👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you to Nicole!! 🥰

Very cute.
Anna Wineheart is one of my favourites in the mpreg/omegaverse genre, but I love her the most when the books are angsty and tough, instead of fluffy and OTT.
Nonetheless, "How To Hide Your Dragon Baby" is a quick, steamy, fun read: I was mainly interested in the second book, but since this one is so short, I figured I'd better start here. The world-building was a tad confusing, but all in all, this was bonkers and sweet and damned steamy. I'm curious to get to know Liem and Samsen a bit more!

Well it was definitely cute, I liked their interactions it felt genuine, it still take convincing to me that they will a reliable parents tho, it's unrealistic as fuck on how the story progress but whatever it's fiction I'll let it pass.
I liked the title chapters I think that's the most fun one beside their interaction with sunnie well its cute rather than fun.
I loved how demanding and possessive yaeger is.
I literally had to asked the author on Facebook what's a Mae?
It's a fucking magical stroller I thought it was a pet since English is not my first language

Silly, sweet and sexy.

This book was a mixture of Aww and EWW.
On one hand the blurb intrigued me but on the other it put me off. That's the reason I hesitated to read it.
I think it's incredibly DISGUSTING to prey on the needy and take sex as rent payment?! Ew. It's so horrifying when scumbags exploit people's vulnerabilities and use them.
So I ignored the very real problem that unfortunately way to many have to deal with and just imagined it as some fantasy porn scenario.
Which was fitting because the sex scenes were shown in way more depth than their relationship development.
The sex was another ew for me. Not necessarily the act per se but everything around it. Like he wore a plug, a big ass, fat anal plug everyday? Just to be ready for him. That must be horrible for his anus muscles.
Not just that but there was a moment where he was naked and covered in cum but then cuddled with the baby while getting the plug put back in. YUCK.
Though there was this whole thing with vegetables as sex toys and I liked that? It always feels so historical and ancient when I read about people putting vegetables in their holes. Okay that sounded weird, oh well.
While we are still on the ew topic. Yeager (I dig the name) is a landlord so that makes him automatically ew, yk.
Also big big BIG EW, like I said that he preyed on the vulnerable or at least on Elson. They had such a huge power imbalance and it gave me the ick. I always think, when I read boss/employee romances and they are careful not to cross lines, how stupid that is. Here though, I totally felt the imbalance.
The whole mine, mine, mine thing is nice and all but here it was all "I own you". Ew.
The world building was also very bad. It left me with multiple questions and not just the world building left me with questions but the whole story line. I guess in the next books we find more out about the baby stealers but what happened to Elson's brother and sister in law? What? Why? How? So many questions and I don't think they get answered in the next books.
After I said so many negative things, let's talk about the good parts. There were a lot of them!
The book was funny and had me chuckling and smiling a few times.
Eventhough the plot leaves a lot to be desired, I was hooked from the very first chapter.
Elson was barely able to cope with all the new changes in his life and he still tried to master everything with his head held high! He was so protective of Sunnie and it was super sweet.
Sunnie sounded so so soo cute! Ugh dragon babies just sound so adorable.
While Yeager had a lot of sides that pissed me off, at his core he was so lonely and loving. He was very obsessed with Elson from the beginning and just wanted to spoil them.
It took a while for these two to confess their feelings for each other but you could feel their affection towards the other quite early on.
Shout-out to Elson's friends, they sound great too but I don't know if I want to read the next books, though I am a bit intrigued.
Overall the story had ups and downs but I still had a great time while reading it and I'm probably gonna reread it at some point!

Ridiculous but compelling
This book throws you right into a situation without any sense of world building at all, so the reader has absolutely no idea what is going on, or what the rules of this omegaverse are.
Now, I noticed there was another series set in the same place but there's zero indication that you should read that first before picking up this mPreg series.
So, as I hit the first chapter of this book, it was looking like it would be a DNF because I was totally baffled by the setting.
However, the more ridiculous things got, the more insane the plotline developed, the more "overly smutty" and "dirty talky-y" this book got, the more I couldn't put it down.
This has to be one of the biggest confusion of narratives and plot threads left dangling in a book that I've ever read.
It could have done with at least some explanation of why there were sentient shopping trolleys before the 20% mark, and I could have done without the 'damsel in distress' element, but, you know what, it kept me reading!
So that's definitely worth at least 3* in my book. I will likely read the rest of the series too, just to see if they can get any more crazy than this did!

I wanted to like this—I’ve enjoyed other books by this author—but this was just too much. Between the sentient buggy and the ridiculous behavior of the main characters, it was hard for me to suspend disbelief and engross myself into the story. And I’ve read monster porn and books where Minotaurs are milked for their…milk, so that’s saying something.

This was a fun one and pretty straight forward. I liked that it looks like it's going to be essentially two groups of friends matching up, keeping the circle close. Sunnie was chaotic and the fire damage made me cringe, as did the initial offering, and the supermarket veg picking. So awkward. I liked Henry, he kept the story light with the embarrassing childhood stories. It was a little insta given Yeager pretty much went 'mine'. Elson trying to hide his niece's secret was comical, especially when it was pointless. Sweet, fast paced with some fun elements and some shadowy bad guys.

Dragons! 🐉
Okay. This was actually pretty cute. Elson was delightfully clueless and Yaeger was slightly hapless in an adorable way.
Possessive dragon meets struggling alchemist and *ahem* sparks fly. Poor Elson is struggling so much to be a parental figure to Sunnie while having absolutely no idea how to do it. Yaeger comes along at the perfect time to help Elson. I loved them together and we even got a slight mystery to follow into the next book.
I will say this: the sentient shopping carts were weird. A lot weird. I feel like there should have been way more backstory on that one. Still, this book wasn’t as long and chunky as some other Wineheart books. I quite enjoyed this and will be interested to see where this series takes us.

It was okay. It was a little confusing to understand what was going on. I think it was because it was switching from first person to third person. The relationship also progress a little faster than I liked. He hated him one minute and the next they were doing the deed. Putting vegetables inside you it’s not a sexy as she thinks. I found it kind of icky. To top it off he wanted to use the vegetables after he used them. He literally stick them inside him I was like oh no, no, no, you can’t possibly want to put them in fridge for later.

I finally gave up on page 73, so this one goes into the DNF column. I didn't find it that cute or humorous. The only character I cared for was the baby dragon. I've read other books by this author but this one was a big miss for me.
I've also got to say I was confused by the whole sentient shopping cart thing, maybe this is something else in this author's world that I know nothing about? There was no world building. I definitely felt like I was dropped into an alternate universe with zero warning.

A cute book about how to bring up a baby dragon. Of course it helps if one of the partners is a dragon himself.
Enjoyed this story. Glad to see there will be another book next year which will explore Elson's friends as I thought not much was said about them esp the Vamp.
I also guess I'll never look at certain vegetables again.

That was a mess. From the characters to the plot to the world there was just nothing i liked.

100% picked this up because of the cover. The baby with the dragon wings and tail made me laugh. Book is decent, if a little out there.
October 9, 2023
This is a cute, engaging, story that I could not put down. There is a little something for everyone within the pages of this story from humor, mystery, and love. I am hoping there will be more to come in this world.

This felt severely lacking in plot and relationship development unfortunately

This series has a fine idea.
Not bad at all: fun.
It's just a bit too much of a conflict between all the sweet and cute and babies and save the babies and the like AND then all out huge 'sex fest' with the endlessly repeating '... how do we even get it to fit in?' - theme and let's purposefully procreate with a complete stranger ....
It doesn't fit well together. You can do one or the other, but for me it doesn't really work put in together. It's a style crash.
It simply doesn't work for me. I read multiple and the theme didn't move on at all. What's wrong in this, doesn't get better while the series goes on. The series IS fun, though. If what I'm objecting to isn't something that bothers you, it's logically even much more enjoyable. Lots of dragons and sweet and cute plus also crazy butlers!

I was just expecting cute fluff from Elson and Yeager's story, but it turned out to be so much more. I love it when that happens!
I was riveted, from Elson's attempts to keep his niece/daughter Sunnie under wraps, to the slow (emotional) burn between our friends the human and the dragon. There's also some nice drama, and some interesting powers unleashed.
There's a soft cliffhanger - what happened to Sunnie's parents, and who were the people who tried to kidnap her and Elson? And why is his friend so cagey about his child's origin? - so I'm jumping straight to How to Hide Your Wolf Cub.

Okay, it has been a while since I had entered the world of Anna Wineheart her books. Lets say a trip to the green grocers will never be the same 😵. The parts in relation to the vegetables and their 'creative use' where a bit much for me.
The story is a saviour mm shifter (dracon)/ paranormal one with a your my mate story line. I liked the idea of the book, however I missed a well built world. I also felt a lot of story sequences where left loose; where did the friends go both from both of them, who was the attacker, where did Mae go to e.a.? Sunnie was cute tough.
I will try the second book in the series just to find out if this is it or that it was just the start up to a new series.

Quick read
I enjoyed this book, it made me laugh a lot because it was a bit cheesy. But I loved that, it was what I needed after a rough day. I was hooked from the very beginning and I didn't want to stop reading. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, it’s a cute concept. I really liked the magical shopping carts. I liked how the author explain how the magic worked

My 2024 Reading Challenge for the month of February will be Beat The Backlog work (digital and print books). This includes-- You know what? Fuck it. My dog died and then I got the flu. This month has fucking sucked. I'm reading what I want right now, because I might make me happy. Here's Anna Winheart's "How To Hide Your Dragon Baby." It's the first novel in her Closet Baby Chronicles series.
["What's worse than becoming a single dad? When your baby is secretly a dragon shifter.
Dragons don't exist. At least, that was what Elson used to believe, until he's suddenly the legal guardian of a nine-month-old baby. Who breathes fire.
There are precious few resources on how to care for a dragon child. Worse, his rent is way overdue, and a towering hulk of a man is at his door demanding payment.
In his desperation, Elson offers himself as compensation. One night of service for a week's shelter.
But the problem might be too big for him to handle. Yaeger is no human, and he's starting to see through Elson's pretenses that baby Sunnie is just a regular child..."]
I'm not sure what it is about fated mates that's like cliched-crack to me, but it is. I just love it so much! Especially when one (or both) of the people involved are in denial about their feelings? Like gahhh! Yes!!! Add bits of magical realism to your fantasy (or fantasy to your fantasy) plus some mystery and a baby? You have a winner right here.

How to Hide Your Dragon Baby
by Anna Wineheart
Elson never expected his quiet, struggling life to turn into a full-blown fantasy. One moment, he’s dodging rent collectors and trying not to get burned by the baby girl he’s somehow become guardian to , a baby who breathes fire. The next, a massive, intimidating man named Yaeger shows up at his door, demanding payment.
Desperate, Elson offers himself in exchange for shelter, not realizing Yaeger is far more than human , and that this deal will change everything. What begins as a desperate bargain quickly spirals into a whirlwind of heat, chaos, and unexpected tenderness. Because Yaeger isn’t just any man; he’s a dragon shifter who sees straight through Elson’s secrets… and into his heart.
Between baby Sunnie’s fiery hiccups, a magically self-moving shopping cart, and a hilariously nosy butler named Henry, the story balances humor and danger perfectly. There are enemies after Sunnie, mysterious deaths in Elson’s family, and a love that grows stronger the more impossible it seems.
Anna Wineheart blends filthy-sweet chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and genuine emotion into a world where dragons, vampires, and wolves collide with modern life. It’s steamy, fast-paced, and unexpectedly wholesome, a story about found family, trust, and how love can feel a lot like getting kidnapped… consensually, of course.

Anna Wineheart blends filthy-sweet chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, and genuine emotion into a world where dragons, vampires, and wolves collide with modern life. It’s steamy, fast-paced, and unexpectedly wholesome, a story about found family, trust, and how love can feel a lot like getting kidnapped… consensually, of course.

Elson and Yaeger's story definitely has a beginning out of the norm but it puts them in each other's orbit with Yaeger going one step further in politely 'kidnapping' Elson and his young niece, Sunnie. With him struggling to care for her, pay bills and just get through the day, he's open to any help he can get.
I love Anna's writing as she clearly has fun with her characters, getting them into all sorts of situations, and there is always at least one scene involving vegetables of some type. Yaeger doesn't disappoint as the alpha male, soon becoming possessive and needy of Elson. I did find him a bit hard to like to begin with until we learn he basically has x height of gold but just can't help himself around Elson, who may just be his mate. Elson has been struggling for such a long time, it's great that he now has support for everything, including Sunnie.
I'm interested and hopeful that we get to read more on Elson's friends, Liem and Samson, especially if it involves the threat that came at Elson and Sunnie in this one.
Another great read from Anna. Lots of knotty and sizeable fun with sweeter moments dotted throughout.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

I loved the worldbuilding in this new series, the quirky humor and the sweetness of the found-family aspect of the story. Elson is a bit awkward at times, but also very brave and loving, and I adored him. He is so modest and self-effacing. And Sunnie, she’s such a sweetheart and a little fiery rascal! Yaeger is a bit of a mystery at first, domineering but caring, and hiding a warm heart underneath his gruff, scaly exterior. The heat between Yaeger and Elson is incredible. How could it be anything else, with Yaeger being a dragon? I’ll never look at produce the same way again. I really enjoyed the humor, sexy times and even the more scary, suspenseful scenes when our heroes confront the bad guys, but I loved the emotional connection that grew between Yaeger and Elson and the way both of them learned to appreciate and really see the other for who they are. This is a fast-paced, light-hearted, steamy read with well-written character growth and a diverse set of secondary characters. Yaeger and Elson both have loyal, interesting friends, which is so promising and I hope to see more of them in future books!

Ok, I have to admit that I was not quite convinced at the beginning... The situation Elson was in was really awful and Yeager's first appearance was not great for me... BUT... Once we got to the scene of the "kidnapping" I started to change my mind and from then on I actually enjoyed the story a lot...
The MCs were such sweethearts and apart from all the spicy scenes there were really cute bonding scenes, Sunnie was such a cutie 🥰 and Henry was a fun addition 😂
I would have liked a bit more of an explanation on the world as it was confusing but once I got to the end and the author's note saying there is another series where the world building is deeper and this is a spin off in the same world I understood better... I'll probably check that other series out too and see what it's about.
