Bound by Dragons by Alisha Klapheke
The tiny dragons on this cover make me so happy. I don’t read books with dragons in very often, but I obviously need to find more. The entirety of this “series” has stunning covers, all with tiny details that relate to the story. I won’t be mentioning all of them as I like some more than others and a lot of them are very similar. The green on this cover is the exact type of green I love.
I haven’t read this book, but it is on my Kindle Unlimited to be read. I think I’ll try to get to it before my current subscription ends – I’m not planning to keep it much longer as I have way too many books I’ve bought over the years to keep putting them off for KU reads.
Synopsis: I was born to ride dragons and no one can steal my fate…
All half-Fae Tahlia ever wanted was to become a Mist Knight, a dragon riding warrior defending the kingdom’s wild north coast. Sadly, she never had the right blood, the right ancestors, the right anything. But when an opportunity to take her employer’s place arises, she’s willing to risk death by fire and sneak into the tournament that will name the next Mist Knight.
Second in command of the Mist Knights, full-blooded Fae noble Marius prides himself on living a strictly disciplined life. He has his Wed the commander’s daughter. Rise to his father-in-law’s role when the time is right. But he never saw Tahlia coming…
Tahlia is determined to burn her way into the Mist Knights’ world and take that handsome Marius along for the ride.
Julieta and the Romeos by Maria E. Andreu
There are so many lovely elements to this cover. I love the cup of coffee, the notebook and the cake, basically three of my favourite things. Julieta’s character design is also very cute. I love that her hair has blue ends. I’m a big fan of cartoonish covers, I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea.
Synopsis: Julieta isn’t looking for her Romeo–but she is writing about love. When her summer writing teacher encourages the class to publish their work online, the last thing she’s expecting is to get a notification that her rom-com has a mysterious new contributor, Happily Ever Drafter. Julieta knows that happily ever afters aren’t real. (Case in point: her parents’ imploding marriage.) But then again, could this be her very own meet-cute?
As things start to heat up in her fiction, Julieta can’t help but notice three boys in her real life: her best friend’s brother (aka her nemesis), the boy next door (well, to her abuela), and her oldest friend (who is suddenly looking . . . hot?). Could one of them be her mysterious collaborator? But even if Julieta finds her Romeo, she’ll have to remember that life is full of plot twists…
