This isn’t really a romantasy as it has been badged by the publisher, if you’re looking for proper romantasy vibes then you will be disappointed! But if you view it as a contemporary romance then there will be less disappointment because it fits into that category so much better. Indeed there are dragons, but that and the underlying story of the families that own them and the mischiefs that they get up to, is as fantasy-orientated as it gets! Which may mean that those looking for a cosy romance will gloss over this one if not interested in Romantasy and yet will probably enjoy this.
It would suit young adult readers just as much as it would adult readers – the spice level is very low and it’s not advertised to be spicy. It’s just a cosy ‘what if’ book that frankly explores a world where dragons can roam semi-free and burn up coffee machines! The romance is resolved quickly, there’s nothing ‘high stakes’ about the plot, and it’s just a gentle cosy read from start to finish. There are three books planned for the series so far and the town and sub-characters lend themselves to more stories based in the world being written about so it’ll be exciting to see what comes next!
About the Book
When Saphira opens her cafe welcoming pet baby dragons, she isn’t expecting it to be quite so hard to keep the fires burning. But her young dragon patrons keep incinerating her furniture, which means selling coffee isn’t covering all her costs.
Local heart-throb Aiden is a gardener, though his disobedient baby dragon is a major distraction from his beloved plants. However, Saphira’s café gives him an idea – he’ll ask Saphira to train his dragon, and pay her enough to keep the cafe afloat.
They know they’re the answer to each other’s problems, but happy-go-lucky Saphira and gorgeous-but-grumpy Aiden couldn’t be more different. Can they find a way to work together – and maybe even ignite some fire of their own?
The perfect dual POV, grumpy sunshine cozy fantasy, with HEA guaranteed!
About The Author
A. T. Qureshi is a Pakistani, Muslim American who adores words. She is the award-winning author of YA fantasy novel, The Lady or the Lion and its sequel.
Aamna grew up on Long Island, New York, in a very loud household, surrounded by English (for school), Urdu (for conversation), and Punjabi (for emotion). Much of her childhood was spent being grounded for reading past her bed-time, writing stories in the backs of her notebooks, and being scolded by teachers for passing chapters under the tables. Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.
When she’s not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitalize her roots. She also loves baking complicated desserts, drinking fancy teas and coffees, watching sappy rom-coms, and going for walks about the estate (her backyard). She currently lives in New York.
