Review - Rom-Com for Dummies by Tom Diggs
My rating: 
Gabe is the head writer for a long-running television soap opera. It’s a demanding job that doesn’t leave any time for relationships. Gabe scratches the occasional itch using a hook-up app. What nobody knows is that the secret to Gabe’s continued success at coming up with story lines is his weekly calls to his mother in the small upstate New York town where he grew up. She fills him in on all the local gossip and Gabe transforms it into clever plots for the show.

Review - To Love the Dragon King by Antonia Aquilante
My rating:
Sascha was born without the Talent to shift into a dragon, so he was raised to believe his only value was to be offered up as a concubine to bring his parents money and powerful connections. As soon as he comes of age, Sascha is packed off to Lord Jannick, whom he has never met. His sense of foreboding proves to be well founded when he arrives at the isolated castle to be met by an unattractive and clearly cruel man.

My rating:
Westin is an outguard but is getting too old for the life on the road, sometimes sleeping rough, especially in the cold. He has resolved to retire and return to his family’s estate.

The much younger man has a sharp tongue and a way of getting Westin, or almost anyone, to do exactly what he wants, which includes sharing a bed.
