A dragon hunter falling for the very dragon she’s supposed to kill? 👀🐉

If you love An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, you’ll want to check out this Meredith Hart book!

Rayne is determined to prove herself as a warrior in Valgros. When she’s sent to Cairncliff to slay a dragon terrorizing the people, she expects a dangerous enemy. Instead, she finds a thriving city full of different species and Doshir, a handsome antiques shop owner with a secret.

He’s the dragon she’s been sent to kill. Now Rayne has to choose between destroying the man who’s captured her heart or betraying everything she’s ever known to save him.

I need to know how this is going to play out!
Coming November 27, 2026

I’m excited to be part of the street team for this one!

Are dragons an automatic yes for you in a fantasy romance? 🐉❤

✨📚9 books under 350 pages📚✨

Cool weather has finally made an appearance, which means the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cozier, and your TBR is calling!!

If you’re looking for your next read but don’t have the time or energy for another 400-600 page commitment, this post is for you!

These books are all under 350 pages & are perfect for a cozy afternoon, a quiet evening, or attempting to squeeze just one more chapter in while the kids are down for a nap! 😴

Plus, let’s be real, those CC and ACOTAR re-reads are thiccccc so I highly recommend using one of these as a quick break in between!

A nerdy dragon. A dragon hunter. And an accidental one-night stand.

To Hunt a Dragon, the complete Deceptions and Dragons series by Meredith Hart (coming soon!)

Rayne spent her life trying to prove herself in a kingdom that believes women can't be warriors. Now she finally has her chance to earn her place in the Valgros Royal Army. All she has to do is travel to the city of Cairncliff and slay the dragon terrorizing its people.
It should be simple. Except nothing in Cairncliff is what she expected.
The "savage wasteland" is actually a thriving city where humans live peacefully alongside elves, dwarves, and dragon shifters. The "terrified villagers" seem perfectly content. And the handsome man who runs the antiques shop, makes her laugh over glasses of frost wine, and looks at her like she's the most fascinating person he's ever met?
He's not human.
He's the dragon she's supposed to kill.
Doshir fled to Cairncliff to escape the brutal politics of dragon society. When a beautiful stranger from the isolated, magic-hating kingdom of Valgros walks into his shop, he sees a chance for something real with a woman who might want him for who he is, not what he is.
So he hides the truth. Just long enough to see where this could go.
But when Rayne discovers Doshir's secret, everything she thought she knew shatters. Her mission. Her king. The lies she's been fed her entire life. Now she must choose: destroy the man who's captured her heart, or betray everything she's ever known to save him.

Book Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Queen of War and Ruin by @writermeredithhart

This book was just amazing as the first. It picked up right where it left off also. The FMC & MMC gave all the feels. You felt for them with the different emotions throughout. I know this is a spoiler but the ending if them marrying cauze they chose was great! I love how it ended. Its a must read!! So glad to be on this ARC team, can't wait for the next book by Meredith!!

K, but what about when they CANNOT GET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER??

Maybe they don't know each other well.
Maybe they LOATHE each other.
Maybe they hate people in general.

But now they're stuck in the same small environment needing to go to know one another. How they deal with stress. How they sleep. How they eat soup.

In real life, that would probably be a nightmare, but in romance? OMG it's my faaaaaaaaaaaaavourite.

Here are some fantastic forced proximity reads!

Okay but can we talk about how fast I flew through these? 😩 I completely devoured the first two books, and I 1000% think you need to add Meredith Hart to your TBR and move her straight to the top. You seriously won't be disappointed!
So excited to be an official ARC team member for Queen of War and Ruin! 👑✨

September was a slow month of reading because of my job, but I managed to get in some INCREDIBLE books! One ARC read (thank you again @kate.co_author ), a couple no spice but tons of plot, a new release, and some spicy reads too!

I’m still neck deep in work stuff, but I’m hoping to finish some big reads in October too!

My sleep schedule over the last week has been an absolute disaster, but honestly? Totally worth it. I genuinely couldn’t put either of these books down because the storyline is just that addicting. If you’re looking for something immersive to lose yourself in, I highly recommend picking them up!

Thank you so much @writermeredithhart for the ARC of Queen of War and Ruin book 2 in the Snakes and Crowns series.

Listen I loved Bride of Ash and Dust but Queen of War and Ruin took the story to a whole other level. We get to take off right where the first book left us off at (thankfully) This book has taught me that I can truely hate characters with my whole being.... There are definitely characters that I wish for their demise but I also have my feet doing little kicks when it comes to Lilas and Zarek.

@writermeredithhart just added a whole new level to them in this book. The character growth for everyone except the small few (you know who you are) was exceptional. I really love when we get to know more backstory little by little to bring more depth to the characters.

This book gave me everything I needed in a book. Banter, tension, spice, heart wrenching moments, battles, more betrayals (can you believe it?), and a love story that I don't know if I will ever recover from. I need more of Lilas and Zarek's story ASAP.
