Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
This was a super cute / cozy book, this is a perfect fun and much needed pallette cleanser after getting yourself into a reading slump.

When you’re looking for a light but entertaining book to get you peeking back up again!

The Baby Dragon Café was a really cute fantasy romance with a cosy vibe. I loved the concept of a café for baby dragons!! How adorable. I found that the story was overall quite light-hearted and easy to read/follow, and the main characters kept me mostly engaged.

But, I did find that the storyline/plot was a bit predictable; and that the romance, whilst sweet, was lacking a bit. I'm not sure exactly what, but it just read a bit plain to me! While this has been labelled as a fantasy romance, I definitely think that it was more so a romance with light fantasy elements for the plot. I did rate this a 3-star but it definitely feels more like a 3.5, but not quite there for a 4-star rating.

Overall, it was an easy, cosy, sweet romantic read. I think that cosy romance/fantasy fans would enjoy this best!

If you love small town, cozy romantasy stories then this one is for you!
Meet Saphira, who fulfils her lifelong dream of opening a cafe welcome to baby dragons and their owners, but all isn’t perfect with untrained dragons about.

And then there’s Aiden, the local recluse gardener with an unruly dragon named Sparky. He gets the idea for Saphira to train Sparky and in return she can use the funds to keep her cafe afloat.

I really loved this book - the world building made me really wish dragons were real! The progression of Saphira and Aiden’s relationship wasn’t rushed at all and the bond that was formed with Sparky was such a highlight.
No spice, but honestly the book doesn’t need it
