This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
This week’s pick is a 2023 release that I only just learned about recently. It is by an author whose books I have read before and enjoyed, so I’m not sure how I missed this new one by them. It also just happens to have a dragon at the center of the story, so I am excited about that as well.
Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha
Publication Date: November 28, 2023
Summary from Goodreads:
From cult-favorite writing duo Kit Rocha comes a fiery novel set in a lush fantasy world brimming with ancient magic, dangerous secrets, and erotic connections.
For three thousand years, an ancient dragon god has protected the borders of the Sheltered Lands. In return, he makes only one demand: every one hundred years, the mortal ruler must send their heir to serve as his consort…for as long as they can survive.
Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the thirty-first consort to be sacrificed to the monster who guards the mountain passes. She is young, beautiful—and she has three secrets.
First: she’s a disposable orphan trained in seduction.
Second: her handmaid, Zanya, is an assassin and the only person she has ever loved.
Third—and most dangerous: she’s cursed. Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to murder the Dragon in his bed. If they fail, the mortal king’s curse will steal not just Sachi’s life, but her very soul.
The Dragon has only one secret: he is nothing like what they have been told. And he will do whatever it takes to possess them both.
If you have read anything by this pair then you know that they can be pretty erotic. I have to be kind of in the mood for that, but I am still looking forward to picking this one up the next time I’m in the mood. I loved the Mercenary Librarians series, so I am hoping that this new series will be just as good. It is more of a fantasy this time around, but I am good with that, especially when it involves dragons.
Do you have this one on your TBR? What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
Until next time…

I rarely read erotica romance but I’m kinda tempted by this description. Thanks for sharing

It’s not really my thing either, but I love the stories this author creates. That makes it worth reading to me.
