Courting the Dragon King (A Royal Arrangement Book 3) by Gigi Rivers


Konrad will never trust a necromancer, he saw what they did during the war. But now his arranged marriage is upon him and he will do anything for peace, but he refuses to get close to his beautiful husband. And Wraith just wants to be cared for.


From the blurb:

He loathes necromancers. Now he must marry one.

Dragon King Konrad fought the necromancers during the war. The memories haunt him still. But now, to end the bloodshed between their kingdoms, Konrad must marry the necromancer Shadow Prince Wraith.

Wraith has been an outcast his entire life. Apart from his beloved hellhound, he has no one. So when he learns he is to marry King Konrad, Wraith hopes this might be a fresh start. Perhaps he’ll find friends, a family, and a husband who cares for him.

Instead, Wraith gets a husband who hates him.

Still, Wraith clings to the hope that Konrad might soften towards him, and he might finally obtain the love he’s always craved. But there are those scheming against their marriage. And if it fails, their kingdoms will return to war.

Courting the Dragon King is an MM fantasy romance. It is the final book in the A Royal Arrangement series. It features an arranged marriage between a dragon shifter and a touch-starved necromancer, opposites attract, lots of plotting, action and adventure, twists and turns, plenty of spice, a hard-won HEA, and a devoted pet hellhound.


SNik's review:

Third and finale in series (A Royal Arrangement), best if read in order. Paranormal fantasy. Arranged marriage. Former enemies to lovers. Hurt/comfort. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

Konrad is a dragon shifter that has to wed a dreaded enemy necromancer, but he’s king now and will do anything for his duty and peace. Wraith has never been accepted by his family or his people, but he can’t get his hopes up for a kinder future when he realizes that Konrad hates him. 

This finale to the series was in the same vein as the other books, with two men that are former enemies that don’t trust each other having to marry and learn to trust in all kinds of difficult ways. I did enjoy these characters, especially Wraith, but I did wish Konrad would have been more loyal to him when Wraith was accused of betrayal. Overall I liked the steamy parts, the found family aspects, and the major twist at the end that certainly threw me for a loop. I’m sad to see this series come to an end.
