I found it a pretty funny book - it's not my favorite in the series, but it is a good start.
Recommendations for Roger - 
- it's been a little while since I read this, but I remember liking it. 
- I don't usually enjoy shifters, but this was surprisingly sweet. 
If none of those appeal I can try to come up with more.

Review:
From best friend's to lovers. Sport romance. Gay/Bisexual romance. Sign me in.
I did have ups and down with this book. The beginning was good with engagement who was out of blue where we found out about Kelly and its mention of his love with his childhood beat friend. Then at some point it was meh and ending was okey. I did like how charcter vere made and some of his actions. Over all it was good read. Not the beat bat okey gay sport romance.

Review:
I started to read a lot book from this author this year an I am going to say she is one of my to go favorite authors for mm romance. Charcter are just so right and romance is so good. Its just the good sweet romnace and its flufffy. Its boss/employe slow burn romanec.

Another mixed feelings book, omegaverse are always hit or miss for me and this one was redeemed somewhat by Harry. Nate and Harry both being outsiders finding the way the dragon society works rather ridiculous in ways.
I hope that it changes across the series because the treatment of omegas, obsession with purity, wealth and such really annoyed me. Although not surprising as common in these type of stories.
I'm excited enough about Harry to read his story at the least. So will see how it goes.
Here is your next task!Task 8 - 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover.
Books selected for this task need to have an animal on the cover, real or mythical. Any edition’s cover can be used to qualify. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts. Shifters count, but must be in animal form on the cover. The depiction on the cover needs to represent the actual animal - so a dragon on the cover works, a statue or tattoo of a dragon does not.
