Overview
In this cozy queer romantic fantasy Simon Hartwells’ dragon sanctuary is one eviction notice away from collapse until he meets Otto Tidelion, a half-elf with a helping hand.
With a hint of spice, this friends-to-lovers m/m romantasy is perfect for readers who loved the found family trope of Legends and Lattes and the slow burn of The Baby Dragon Cafe.
Simon Hartwell is sad, lonely, and running dangerously low on dragon feed. He’s still suffering from the loss of his husband, and now he is close to losing his sanctuary for hurt and homeless dragons.
On a quick trip to the vibrant coastal capital of Valoria to drown his sorrows, he crosses paths with Otto Tidelion. Otto is a handsome half-elf looking for a new start, with an easy smile, an unexpected love of dragons, and secrets he’s keeping close to his heart. Simon finds himself opening up to him, surprised to find that Otto had come to Valoria with a dragon problem of his own. Hesitant to take on more than he can handle, Simon agrees to help Otto when the strapping half-elf promises to help in return.
As their budding friendship develops into something more, the sanctuary starts to feel like home again. But falling for someone new isn’t easy, especially when you’re nursing a broken heart, dodging debt collectors, and trying to keep eight dragons happy on a shoestring budget.
When a wealthy and ruthless entrepreneur sets his sights on the sanctuary’s land, Simon must find the strength to fight—not just for his dragons, but for a second chance at life, and maybe even love.
Dating & Dragons is a low-stakes steamy gay fantasy with mental health rep that will charm fans of T.J. Klune with its intimate, lighthearted, and humorous tone.
