Merissa (13000 KP) rated Courting the Dragon Prince (A Royal Arrangement #1) in Books
Apr 18, 2025
COURTING THE DRAGON PRINCE is the first full-length novel in the Royal Arrangement series, featuring Prince Luther of Draconia and Warden Onyx of the Grey Mountains.
At first glance, this is an enemies-to-lovers story, but it is so much more than that. Both Luther and Onyx are glad the war is over and want peace. Luther is suffering from PTSD/survivor's guilt and trying to drown it out through drinking and exhaustion. Onyx leaps to the wrong conclusions and their relationship is strained at best. I was honestly counting down the pages until the first breakthrough in their relationship as I wanted it to work out between them SOOO badly!
It has a steady pace that will keep you turning the pages. All of the characters evolve in many ways, especially Luther and Onyx. I did enjoy seeing Ash and Barrett again and was happy that they were happy. There are some topics here that might make some readers uncomfortable, addiction for example, as well as the PTSD and survivor's guilt. It was also spicy in places, with Onyx and Luther showing little Dom/sub streaks.
All in all, this was a great read that kept me turning the pages. I loved this story and can't wait to return to Gerard and Elias' story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me.
