Synopsis (Goodreads):

Falling for a dragon once was a mistake. Giving him a second chance? That’s just asking to get burned.

Here’s the thing about dating dragons: don’t. Especially if you’re me. My first dragon boyfriend, Zed? Gorgeous, charming...and responsible for the worst night of my teenage life. The ones who came after? All ghosted me when they found their fated mates.

I learned my lesson: No more dragons. It never ends well.

Fast-forward fifteen years, and guess who strolls back into my life? Zed—older, hotter, and still single. He only wants one date, but he’s overdue to find his mate. I should walk away before he disappears a second time. But there’s still something about him that makes my carefully mended heart skip a beat.

Should I let myself fall for the dragon who destroyed it…and risk getting burned (again)?

Thoughts on There's Something About Dragons: No lie, this book has a lot going on. I mean there are missed connections (to be fair, Cari and Zed were pretty young when they first met and circumstances REALLY worked against them), a stalker, a persistent demon, and, uhh, probably some other stuff that I can't remember at the moment. The point being that Cari and Zed have more than a few obstacles to overcome before they are firmly on the road to happily ever after.

To back up a bit, these two met in high school and Zed was happily obsessed with Cari, but Cari's father was not a great guy and THINGS forced them apart. Fifteen years later a slight misreading of a social media post has Zed reaching out and, as it turns out, Cari is single and kinda pleased to see the dragon she'd never forgotten.

As for Zed, one whiff of Cari when they're adults lets him know that his happy obsession wasn't a fluke. It turns out that Cari is his other half and he's not about to let her go now that he's found her again. Which doesn't mean he doesn't do some boneheaded things. Things like tell a lie or two (mostly so he doesn't look like a stalker, but still) and face off against the demon who's been (not so successfully) trying to woo Cari. Let's just say that Cari has to be a little understanding of Zed's fumblings and move along.

So. A stalker (who is not Zed), a demon who isn't nearly as bad as he could have been, a sweet pupper, a dragon who knows exactly what he has when he gets his second chance, and a lady who is dealing with a lot, but whose heart has always belonged to a certain hunky dragon.
