The Witch’s Grumpy Dragon (Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala Book 1) by Michele Notaro


Asked to spend more time with the demanding dragon king was not on Tan's bucket list, but protecting King Garrick ends up being more than a full time job as Garrick and Tan feel more than just the pull of attraction. Dragons, witches, an orange familiar and assassins around every corner, this new spin-off series starts with a fun couple. 


From the The Witch's Grumpy Dragon blurb:

I have never in my life met anyone as infuriating as that dragon. So then why do I keep wanting to spend time with him?


Step One: Find a gorgeous guy. Check.

Step Two: Talk to said gorgeous guy. Check.

Step Three: Try not to strangle him. Uh… do I really have to check this one? Because I really want to wrap my fingers around his—ugh.

Garrick Von Stein is the most frustrating person I’ve ever met, and yet, as soon as he calls me for help, I jump right in. Every single time. Why? I have no idea. I mean, I really do like to look at the dragon shifter king, but that doesn’t explain this strange pull, this need, I feel to be near him.

He doesn’t even like me—believe me, I’d know—but for some reason he trusts me. And the weirdest thing of all? I trust him too.

Now if only we could find a way to work together to keep him and everyone else safe.

The Witch's Grumpy Dragon is Book 1 of the new MM urban fantasy series, Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala. It follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world in the far away country of Gauhala and brings a whole new cast of characters. But don't worry, there will be some cameos along the way.


SNik's review:

First in series (Brinnswick: Tales from Gauhala), a spin-off series, but might be better for the world building background having read ‘The Wolf’s (Un)Lucky Fae’. Paranormal urban fantasy. Grumpy/sunshine. Soulmates. Close proximity. Slow burn. Found family. Dual POV. 

Dealing with the local king that happens to be a grumpy dragon shifter is driving Tan crazy, even though he secretly enjoys their weird interactions. Garrick wants more than just business discussions with the pretty little witch that he’s sure is his viramore (soulmate), but there are people trying to kill Garrick and he has secrets on top of secrets that keep him in his tower locked away. 

Growly (for reasons) and secretly a cinnamon roll, Garrick is very sweet and protective with Tan, and I really appreciated that Tan can handle all sorts of danger with his magic and fighting skills. I enjoyed the time spent building this relationship while Garrick and Tan learn to care for each other, and the bits of action and found family moments were entertaining.
