This def stole from shojo - the finger blood sucking, the random trips into his arms, the hot springs, even the cheek slapping pep talk, etc.

“Then, with gentle precision, he inched his head closer until…”

Wording! I thought we were talking about his cock here!

“So what do think about Mount Echo?” - ok either this editor sucks or this editor was cheesed w the author and was like, f it

“ You know dragon saliva heals dragon burns.”
Particularly the saliva of a dragon and its rider.

Ok the way this was worded, I thought it meant the spit of a dragon or its rider can heal dragon burns, not that a dragon licking its rider will help if the rider got a dragon burns. Was 100% prepared for Adrian to go Popsicle on her arm.

“He and Saphira had a professional relationship. He needed to be mindful of that.”

Bitch, the last 30 pages you’ve been trying to kiss her/wanna dick her. Where did this just come from?

This feels like someone is trying to make a romance and their only experience with romance is reading Japanese shojos. Who sucks on someone’s finger because it’s bleeding? Shojo heroes. Who puts their hands directly on someone else’s to pull out a weed? Shojo heroes.

Also who gives a treat to a pet who just bit someone unprovoked?

I thought this was taking place in another world with dragons and chimeras and black market magical creature racing shit but then we get drops of Asia, Pride and Prejudice, and facts about roses in 1867? I’m so confused lol

“Let’s go show, Adrian…” (80)

“Let’s go show, Adrian…” (81)

Why does this book keep repeating itself??

“Since the beans were roasted for longer than light, medium, and even dark roasts, the beans held a special, decadent flavor…” (12)

“Since the beans were roasted for longer than light, medium, and even dark roasts, the beans held a special, decadent flavor…” (70)

Me: the f?

“Basalta dragons… were rumored to be the best breed for the illegal sport of dragon racing” (27)
“Because Basalta dragons were so rare, Sparky would be even more of a target. Saphira had heard that those dragons then got used for dragon racing.” (34)

🤨 thought I lost my mind, like didn’t I just read this haha

Not sure if I’ll make it for book club on Monday but we’ll give it a try!

I’m sorry what? Wow I was rolling my eyes thinking, here’s another goose chase and it was the actual deal. Welp.

Man hope Wyatt added in the contract that the baby would be DNA tested to confirm it’s his.
Especially after his surrogate mentioned her bullpen of men she fucks from time to time.

Also fuck this lady just dropping critters at Wyatt’s property without asking. Like bitch I know this is a romance so you’ll unfortunately end up together but you’re not there yet.

Describing her new bed as akin to “newborn foreskin” (yeah you read that right), this MC is kinda annoying. The whole “I’m a strong independent woman” when she’s clearly not was one thing but her prying into something that makes Wyatt uncomfortable is fucked up. Really wanted him to be like, I’ll talk about my ex when you tell me about your parents.
:/

And now I’m trying to picture Avery getting asked baby questions when it’s like girl we just work together. Go talk to a doctor or google this shit. You googled how to do a home insemination, the fuck?

Girl. You told Avery you’re pregnant because you have no friends and this person who you work w is the closest to a friend (only because you work together and are forced to talk to one another).

But now you’re telling me you don’t hang out with w said friend when she invites you to do non-work things?

Like no wonder you have no friends!

“ When auntie first brought her to the valley 10 years ago…”

“ 10 years ago, after the deaths of Sarenita’s queen and heir…”

19 pages in…

MC: what are the plants telling you? Besides like, my entire life history and how cool the orc neighbors are?

Theo: the plants want you to compete

MC: how do you know that

Theo: um, because the plants told me?? ಠ_ಠ

Ok somebody better have betrayed this MC hard because her “I push people away” crap (told to me for the 3rd time) is annoying. Also her “I need to make it on my own, with no help” crap (told to me for the 4th time) is really weird. Like did your parents call you a leech and you got trauma from that? Who are you proving yourself to? B/c no one cares if you need a little help to get your feet steady?

24 pages in and not liking this heroine. I’M A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO CAN SUPPORT HERSELF AND DOESN’T NEED ANYONE TO GIVE HER HANDOUTS.

*takes the handouts but makes sure to tell us she was fine on her own and didn’t need said handouts*

Also not sure why she was like, fuck that contest. Maybe next year. Like girl, you live like shit and prob won’t be alive next year at your rate (w/o handouts)
