Their Dragon Rider #1
Court of Rivals
What happens when you’re the only female dragon rider surrounded by gorgeous, angry men? Nothing but trouble.
I’m nobody special. Just a healer in a small village. The only girl in a house full of rowdy boys. But then I stumble across an injured dragon, save his life, and everything changes.
My dragon decides that we’ll go to the dragon rider academy and become great warriors together. There's just one problem. All dragon riders are male, and all dragons are female. Considering I break their most basic rules just by existing, no one is exactly rolling out the welcome mat for me. Especially not the three darkly handsome princes who run the academy. They've decided a common-born woman could never handle a powerful male dragon, especially not without dishonoring everything they hold dear, so their solution is make my life hell until I quit.
Too bad they don't know me very well. I've never backed down from a challenge, and I'm not about to start now…
COURT OF RIVALS is a reverse harem bully romantasy. It's high heat, with a confident, sarcastic heroine and jealous and possessive alpha men.

One of the guys keeps calling the heroine ‘cok sucker’ repeatedly throughout the book, somehow trying to make it both an insult and a pet name.
cringe level:expert
Oh and the other also gives her a black eye.
There is more but thats enough to get the point across I think.

Interesting premise. I would have given it more stars but there was a shocking amount of misogynistic, sex negativity and almost every character had the mindset of victim blaming. I get that the author is setting up an enemies to lovers situation but don’t use concepts like ‘you can’t wear that outfit, I wouldn’t be able to control myself.’ No one should have to dress so that someone else won’t lose control. Each person is responsible for their actions. This is such an outdated mindset. It might have worked in the nineties but come on it’s 2025.

Awful writing
There’s no way this book is actually rated 4.5 stars. It reads like it was written by a middle schooler.

Ridiculous Tripe.
This book is stuck somewhere between a very young audience and a more mature one. The writing itself is extremely juvenile while certain aspects of the subject matter are anything but. Harper is the only female dragon rider in existence who must train with her male dragon at the academy. Interesting as there are no instructors, no classes and nothing that resembles a training ground for the kingdom’s elite “warriors.” It comes as no surprise when the man babies disguised as princes behave like spoiled toddlers and bully, intimidate and abuse the heroine. Typical, mundane, misogynistic nonsense. These guys are supposed to be the heroine’s love interests? How pathetic. This is a boring, unimaginative and poorly written book with zero points of interest. First time and last time I read anything by this author.

At first, I was like "Dragons? Count me in." Then I read the reviews, and they all complained about the men acting like babies. I thought to myself, "It can't be THAT bad," so I decided to read it. It was, unfortunately, the worst decision of my life. No exaggerations here.
It reminded me of the book Eragon, which is about a boy who finds a dragon egg in the woods (very similar story except he was 15 and way more mature than any of these men.) This book is basically the same, but with opposite genders. The whole plot drew me in, since I really liked Eragon, but the “men” were unbelievable. I was like - What the fuck?? Why do they act like a bunch of immature 14-year-olds when they are over 30 years old (Some are already 40)? It pissed me off so bad because why are they so jealous of a girl who is actually worthy of being a dragon rider? DO THEY HATE HER OR DO THEY WANT HER like wdym they show desire with hate, and that's why they are sexist towards her??
I don't know what the author was thinking when she wrote this book. Because this book was so shockingly bad, I had to pause every 5 pages to reflect on what the fuck I was reading. Am I missing something here? Every male in this book was the same -toxic, sexist and immature, except for Harper’s dragon, Ebron. This could've been a decent read if the men were actually decent. You would think that their frontal lobes would be developed by now, but it seemed like none of the men in this book even managed to go past puberty. Talk about gentlemen, these men were absolute monkeys. When the book introduces the Harper's brothers and best friend, (MIND YOU THEY ARE 30-40 YEARS OLD!) my jaw actually dropped when I realised they farted on each other's faces bc what do you mean they fart on each other? It's actually so ridiculous that I started laughing because what is this? And they had the audacity to think they were alpha males.
I remember one scene (I might be wrong, but this is what I remember) where the FMC went to a bar, and she met another man, and she started talking to him, when suddenly one of the MMC stomped up to her like a whiny bitch and got mad bc he was talking to this man instead of him. Now this might sound like a scene that you would be giggling and kicking your feet in the air, but it is the exact opposite, bc the MMC's and other men in this story have done nothing but bully this poor woman bc she was a woman with the one of the last existing male dragons. Okay wow that’s .. interesting and very sexist. The males were pathetic, pitiful and poorly done.
Overall, I liked the plot, but I do think it was a little unoriginal. I couldn't stand any of the males, so I DNF the book. I don't recommend this book to ANYBODY unless you want immature 15-year-old boys as the love interests. (Which, frankly, I don't think anybody does.) I'm pretty sure all her books are like this bc I checked the reviews, so I don't recommend reading her books. One of the worst pieces of literature ever made.

was done when one of the love interests punches her in the face. was entertaining until she showed up at misogyny academy.

Extremely juvenile writing. The way all characters behave is extremely juvenile. None have either own voices/ personalities, all painted with the same juvenile brush. Events are not plausible, they’re odd scenarios made to fit the story… very badly.

This book had a good plot, nice enough world building and a strong enough MC. And if this was simply an action book with dragons, then it would have scored higher.
Unfortunately, the Male love interests mess with the decency of this book. They are just too childish and misogynistic. And the whole dragon lust causing human lust was just lazy writing.
One thing that specifically irritated me is the descriptions. Who describes eye colour like that? And exactly what size are these dragons, because the image in my head is that they're large dog size, but then the riding doesn't make sense? Or are the females the size of horses? that means the male is ten times bigger than a horse...how does that work? And the harem building based off the dragons doesn't make sense. You're stepping on the edge of consent there, and it feels like "Is this real love or just expectation and magic?".
There is not enough detail in the world building.
BUT
The male dragon, Ebron, is amusing, so I may just read the next one simply for his dialogue.

Problematic in the extreme
I read alot. Like alot, alot. Plenty of dark romance, loads of bully themes and tons of urban fantasy. I have minimal triggers and I dont generally mind dub con/ non con as a trope.
None of those books were as offensive to me as the things in this one.
This book was the equivalent of a "nice" guy. Filled with misogyny, victim blaming, s!ut shaming and infinitely worse, it normalizes gr@pe culture.
You think I'm joking? I have receipts.
The FMC's guide, who is male:
"“It’s just that you’re really pretty. Beautiful. You know, hot. The men here see a whole lot of good-looking women, but you’re on another scale.” He seems to realize he’s rambling, while I stare at him, trying to decide if he’s being serious. “What I’m trying to say is that you might want to wear less… enticing outfits. The guys are going to have trouble controlling themselves as it is.” “So, I wear, what? A dress?” He winces his head and shakes it. “No, easy access. That’s all they’ll be thinking about.”"
NO. EASY. ACCESS. Seriously!?
One of the MMC's thoughts:
"If our laws were fair and good, Harper would never be allowed to wear such form-fitting clothes in front of a group of viral and aroused men. She’s a temptation. A villainous woman here to drive us wild."
S!ut shaming while doubling down on the boys will be boys mentality...
“Besides,” I say, “she’s a beautiful woman who he’s thrown in with a bunch of h0rny men. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the looks the guys are giving her. It’s going to cause problems when she starts being passed around. Understandably, the men are not going to want to share her.” I certainly wouldn’t want to. Not that I wouldn’t sleep with other women, of course, but I wouldn’t want her with other men. It’s a territorial thing that only a man would understand.
Oh, and let's not forget the sexual assault aspect!
"“You want to play dirty, c0ck $ucker? I can play dirty.” I feel him tug at the back of my neck and only have a second to realize what’s happening before my top falls down, and my breasts come free. The laughter dies, but I just stay frozen. I’m unsure of what to do. Shocked. “Cover yourself up,” he says, “and admit defeat.”"
I didnt even need to watch all those episodes of Law and Order SVU to realize this is not acceptable.
But wait! It gets worse because immediately after one of the MMC's does this and another one 'rescues' her from being stripped in front of a large group of men he says this,
“For f*€ks sake, Harper, you realize that we’re all ramped up because of our dragons, right? You realize how bad it’s gotten since you and your dragon came here, don’t you? The men are losing control, and having someone who looks like you around isn’t helping!”
And this,
“Now go put on something we can’t take off quite as easily. We might be royals, but fucking temptation like that could make any man do something dangerous.”
Victim blaming core right there.
Dark romance warns you about what youre going to read. It's in the title even. This series isn't marketed as such. And for the above to be in it is deeply problematic.
Let's end with this gem, from MMC 3
“You know, you’re much prettier when you smile.”

I love Harper’s inner conversations. Especially regarding her brothers and father’s … delicate natures 😉 She is no delicate flower, definitely made of tough stuff—one of the reasons Ebron chose her. And boy, are the princes but-hurt over that. ‘Court of Rivals’ is a great foundation to this new series. It gives us a fleshed out view of the characters, the dragons & their mating habits, the kingdom, and court politics. Can’t hardly wait for book 2!

Dragons nuff said
This one ends on a huge cliffhanger so just prepare yourself for it. An act of kindness saving/healing a dragon turns Harper’s world upside down. No longer will she be a healer in a small town. She’s off to Dragon Rider Academy to learn and prepare to fight. Unfortunately for her she’s an anomaly the only female rider, male dragon pair and no one likes the fact that their world view just got turned on its ear. But she’s determined and can give as good as she gets and finally feels as if she’s coming into her destiny. Then there’s some huge drama when the king drops a history lesson.
I really like Harper. She’s strong, fierce, brave and funny. I love how she never lets the jerks at the school dim her light. I think the world building is fascinating and I’m interested in learning more about the dragons and their enemies and how the wars started and why female riders are so special. The steam is building can’t wait to see how it develops. Very good beginning!

What men does this author know to make them write men like this in this book? lol all the men in this book acted like boys and obnoxious. Eating like pigs, farting, etc.
Everything happens really fast. Like too fast. Dragon saved, saying good bye to family then going to the academy. I would have liked that to flow a bit better.
It does get better when you get to the academy. I don’t normally like a bully to lover romance but I surprisingly don’t mind this one. I was getting into it and then bam, ending. I just need to know what freaking happens lol. I’m hoping for another potential love interest, I love that this author always surprises you with that sometimes in her books.
Oh I absolutely hate her nickname that they give her, i don’t mine vulgar statements but this is just meant for shock value and it does the story a disservice.
It’s not my fav series from this author but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I like this author a lot. I know there’s more to come with the second book. A great quick Romantasy read. I will be continuing this series.

I'm not someone who typically goes for "bully romance" style novels, but I love a story where the FMC gives as good as she gets if not better.
Meet Harper, small town girl in a household of all boys. Everything changes when she crosses paths with a dragon under threat by a bone wyrm. A dead dragon that has been forever changed. She steps in and saves his life. In exchange, he deems her fit to be his rider. Well, cue a major shake-up where dragon riders are trained. It's always been men who are nobles on female dragons. And in swoops Harper. Yep, cue the chaos and all the drama.
There is some mild steamy, but nothing intense but you gotta know it's all delicious nonetheless. The three princes are complete jerks but I am absolutely cheering for Harper every step of the way.
Expect a cliffhanger ending that will leave you eager for book two. I can't wait to find out what happens next!!

Chapter 11 was it for me.
I fell in love with Harper’s parents from the get-go. Their willingness to end the engagement just like that… hand over heart! 🥹 Harper Nightborne… She’s a different breed. She’s brave, tolerant, athletic, tenacious, etc. Stormwrath Academy wasn’t ready! Roland is a coward. The princes need to get their s*** together… pronto! Such an easy read. The ending had me gasping.
“I will have no other rider. And I will kill for her.” - Ebron

WHAT A CLIFFHANGER
OMG OMG OMG THIS IS AMAZING. I need the next book right now and if I wasn’t so excited to get started on the second book, I would leave a better review. The female lead is such a badass and takes no back talk from men who have a whole tree up their yk.
The Princes’ sure are a holes but they are just privileged little men hot for the female lead lmao- but this type of enemies to lovers gets me hooked! So I def recommend starting this series 🖤

Omfg the end! The end!!!!!
Also, uh, I couldn't put down the book at all. I mean, we know how it will end. They will live happily ever after but in the meantime, they are totally smitten but being little bitch bullies.
This is delicious. Also, the FMC is amazing. The way she wins every verbal jabs and makes them her bitch. Amazing.

Solid dragon riding and warrior story, also that cliffy, gold!
4 Stars
But my poor girl Hazel is really getting attacked on all fronts. Now then I won't give my full review until I finish this series since it's one of the shortest ones I've read in a while. SO onto Court Of Fury!

why was her best friend, who is thirty years old mind you, farting on her. 5% of the way through and i had to put it down, good lord.
Did Not Finish
April 28, 2026The plot is just weak. But really I couldn't get passed the farting and the "community poop hole"..... I'm pretty sure she means latrine. I guess I just don't like this author's writing style. This is the third series I've attempted by her and have quit each one.

You absolutely need to read this. If you love dragons, fierce fmc who knows how to give as good as she gets especially from not one but three princes who are pig headed as they try to get her to leave the dragon rider academy, because it's for males not females. This is just the first book and I can't wait to read more of this new series from this author.

Dragons and immaturity and misogyny, oh my.
I DNFed this at 59%, which, honestly, is way farther than I expected. Because at 3% we were witness to a four paragraph “farting” prank from a 30 year old man in a fantasy book about dragon riders, and I almost DNFed at that point.
But, I really like dragons and there’s simply not enough dragon RH in the world, so I pushed through. Only to find out that every man we met was “a 30yo man with a 14yo immaturity level.” The only human man who didn’t immediately make me roll my eyes was Harper’s fiancé who was absolutely a red flag, but at least he seemed like he had some maturity.
The fart joke at 3% wasn’t the last, and it seems tiny dicks and IBS is the only comedy at play. Add onto the fact that one of the MMCs has relegated Harper to being called “Cock Sucker” as if it were a pet name and it made me feel like I was witnessing a cringy prepubescent tantrum. One of the MMCs mentions multiple times that he is “God’s gift to women” and I’m honestly baffled how we, as readers, are supposed to think these “men” are even slightly attractive.
Harper thinks they’re attractive, because she mentions that often, but there’s no pull for the readers. I feel zero attraction. It’s as dry as a sahara around here and I’m not thirsty in the slightest. Props to Ebron because even though the ~very-rare-and-oh-so-spectacular-male-dragon~ was a true “gift to female dragons” he at least had some decency about it.
I am no stranger to enemies-to-lovers, nor am I against a world with gender-related strife. The issue with this story, is that the author chose to wrote these tropes in an unfortunately juvenile way. I didn’t hate the MMCs because of the “bad things” they did to Harper; I hated them because those “bad things” belonged in a book about high-school, not in a book about 30yo adults fighting in a war of life and death.

This was very strangely written. I honestly was shocked to find out the author was an adult with kids and everything because it reads like the author is much younger and doesn't really understand how adults interact. Even the fact that the main characters are in their 30s is pointless... she lived at home, and is now going to 'school'. Make her and everyone in their late teens or early 20s and nothing changes except the ick factor.
On the one hand, I did like how the main character snapped back at insults, and occasionally she got some good ones in. However my main issue with the book so far is that she keeps using 'tiny dick' as the ultimate insult.
I get it, toxic alpha bros don't like it when you insult their 'manhood'. However, not only will these guys inevitably each have a more massive dong than the last (as per the official trashy romance rules), it's also just a shitty way to insult someone. I don't know if there's even a female equivalent. Maybe insulting the size of someone's breasts? However there's been tons of messaging helping women to feel better about their breast size and it'susuallyframed as a preference.
While men with average to small penises are just expected to suck it up or live in shame.
It's something that can't be helped, something that is unfortunately woven into the fabric of society as a marker of manhood, and this FMC just keeps spitting it out for every dude who's ever been insecure about their dick to take on board. Oh right, I'm not worthy of love or respect because of my genetics. I'm an insult, the worst kind of insult, the excuse for men to act shitty, because having a less than enormous wang is apparently the worst of all fates.
It pisses me off. Get some better insults, girl. It's not like these dudes have any redeeming qualities, you don't have to keep going for the junk.

misogyny in book form
November 4, 2025
In this paranormal fantasy, dragons are always female and riders are always male. Chauvinist much? But then Harper, a female healer in a small village, rescues a rare male dragon and lo and behold she becomes his person.
Ebron, the dragon, has an enormous ego to match his size, and he communicates telepathically with Harper much to the chagrin of the male dragon riders. Natch, the female dragons preen and flirt which p’s off Prince Gareth, Prince Lucien and Prince Alaric, the top of the heap riders.
Somehow the princely trio get the obnoxious idea to bully Harper into giving up her dragon. What ensues goes to show don’t mess with a woman and her dragon.
A battle in the skies results in a cliffhanger…

Stopping at 50%
The first MMC gave her a black eye. The second MMC is calling her a 🍆 sucker, which is wild for me bc that’s right up there with c*nt insult wise. Just left me with a nasty taste in my mouth, considering he’s supposed to become a love interest? Not to mention their misogynistic pure hate towards her bc “women aren’t riders and blah blah blah”.
This is proof that bully romance is an art form, and some just aren’t good at it. 🤷🏻♀️ the comebacks the FMC had were gold though, and had me chuckling.
