Synopsis
Briar Rose might have a name out of a storybook, but she learned at a very young age that no prince was coming to save her. She’ll have to save herself. Unfortunately, even that is an impossible task in her current situation—trapped in a terrifying marriage to a dangerous man.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, which is how she finds herself making a deal with a demon. Freedom from her husband…in return for seven years of service.
She expects the service to be backbreaking and harsh. She doesn’t expect to be put on an auction block in a room full of literal monsters and sold to the highest bidder.
To Sol.
A dragon.
He might seem kinder than his fearsome looks imply, but she knows better than to trust the way he wants to take care of her, or how invested he is in her pleasure. In her experience, if something seems too good to be true, it certainly is.
Falling for Sol is out of the question. She’s suffered enough, and she has no intention of staying in this realm…even if she leaves her heart behind when she returns to her normal life.

Review
I am of the mindset that Katee Robert can do no wrong, and the Dragon’s Bride is just more proof.
The Dragon’s Bride is a quick read, but it still has a great plot and some great steam. I enjoyed how at the beginning of the book Briar Rose feels like the only option she has is literally to make a deal with a demon, but throughout the book, she gains so much more agency.
Sol is a dragon, and I admit I had questions. Katee did a great job of incorporating world-building to explain how everything worked. I loved what a sweet story this was. Sol was kind and not at all the monster Briar, or we expected him to be. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and how Briar tried to fight her feelings but couldn’t help falling for Sol.
This book had steam, but I did expect a little more especially given Sol’s anatomy. Overall this was a sweet, fun romance that I very much enjoyed.
