Week 9 Review: Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon

From Goodreads:
From the brilliant imagination of Kerrelyn Sparks comes a bold new fantasy romance series in which passion and magic collide. Behold the Embraced…

Gwennore has a talent. An Elf able to track down the cause of an illness and heal it, she's a valuable asset to her people. But when the kidnapping of a young girl thrusts Gwennore into the very heart of the realm of the dragons, she discovers not only a place of power and magic, but also a haunted land, plagued by an ancient curse that all but ensures extinction to the royal family. But when she meets the smoldering General Silas Dravenko, they strike a bargain—save the country from its cursed illness, and he will return the kidnapped girl. She's been raised never to trust a dragon, but never did making a deal with the devil feel so good…

Silas has no way of curing the family he's loyally served for years. But when a beautiful elf, long considered the enemy of the dragons, comes bursting into his world, Silas is awakened to passion and desire in a way he's never felt before. But can he trust a sworn enemy to save the very existence he holds dear? And can their love survive those that threaten to tear them apart?

My Review:
I loved reading this book! We got another happy couple, and we got to check in with familiar faces, like it's the twins 3rd birthday at the beginning of this book, and the number 3 made an appearance at the end of the previous one!

So there were kinda 2 things that gave away the surprise-the title, and the synopsis. The whole, dating a dragon, that only works if Silas was the dragon, but Gwennore didn't know that. On the other hand, us knowing made the anticipation of how she'd find out even better! Loved that she figured it out instead of being told!

Mainly in this book, was the mystery of what was causing the Queen to go insane, instead of the curse that they all believe. But also investigating the curse and the history, that was pretty epic! Loved watching Gwennore solve something about 500 years old!

Each book, there's being the shifter dude. And in this book, we got a more broader look at the bad guys. That was really great because it's bigger than just the one kingdom. The threat is bigger, and yeah, hopefully it'll take about 2 more books to solve it, for the 2 more sisters!

Loved this book so much, and I really hope we get more books in this series!
