Week 13 Review: The Dragon's Bride

From Goodreads:

Briar Rose might have a name out of a storybook, but she learned at a very young age that no prince was coming to save her. She'll have to save herself. Unfortunately, even that is an impossible task in her current situation—trapped in a terrifying marriage to a dangerous man.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, which is how she finds herself making a deal with a demon. Freedom from her husband…in return for seven years of service.

She expects the service to be backbreaking and harsh. She doesn't expect to be put on an auction block in a room full of literal monsters and sold to the highest bidder.

To Sol.

A dragon.

He might seem kinder than his fearsome looks imply, but she knows better than to trust the way he wants to take care of her, or how invested he is in her pleasure. In her experience, if something seems too good to be true, it certainly is.

Falling for Sol is out of the question. She's suffered enough, and she has no intention of staying in this realm…even if she leaves her heart behind when she returns to her normal life.

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book! Demon smut, bring it on! I really enjoyed Sol and Briar's story, because while she was brought there so a half-human heir could be had, well, things are more complicated than that right from the get go.

I went into this knowing about the two peen situation. And I had to know how Katee Robert was going to do with it, given what previous erotic situations that she's written about. And yeah, this book was definitely steamy! 

This is a bit of a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but Briar was previously married-and made a deal that her side was that her husband was killed because he was abusive. So their dynamics, and with the specifics of the deal that any child stay there, well, yeah. Things were complicated outside the bedroom.

I learned after reading this book that there's a series connected to this series, the Bloodline Vampires, and I'm going to have to pick it up soon, because a) I need to read more Katee Robert, and b) I need to have more of this world/characters! No matter how loosely they're connected!

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait for the next in the series!
