Dragon Queens: A Lesbian Romance Novel Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,145 ratings

Dragons fly again...

With her betrothal imminent, the beautiful Princess Ava has gone missing. Where has she fled to? Why has she gone? And why is the dragon stirring?

Enter our hero. Gwen has been hunting wanted criminals for years, collecting bounties to provide for her mother and brother since the death of their father. The promise of an armful of gold for bringing the princess home is too good to ignore.

But bringing her home doesn't solve anyone's problems. Gwen still has family to support, and Ava still has a miserable marriage to look forward to. How will they get over these hurdles? And what new ones will they create along the way?

***

Praise for Dragon Queens:

"In general I found Ava's rational explanations about politicking in this book a very fun inversion of the classical scheming woman trope. Rather than being a conniving social climber she is just good at politics and enjoyed being good at it. Delightful"- D. B.

"For me, the mark of a good story is if I’m thinking about the characters and the events when I’m no longer reading. You certainly checked that box for me." - H. H.

"Some of the best storytelling I have enjoyed in a long time. I enjoyed it the whole way through and was left wanting more." - KrysieJ

"Want to talk about the hot scenes? As Ava herself said "oh my f***ing Gods" they were described perfectly" - Jane Flowery

I also loved how all bases where covered. Many fascinating questions were asked and they all received equally (if not more so) fascinating answers.

    I just finished this amazing book that really reminded me of 'Aurora's Angel,' but honestly, I liked this one even more! I wish it were longer because I'm eager to see how Ava and Gwen's relationship develops in a potential second book. Ava was definitely my favorite character; I loved her personality, especially when she was feeling jealous. It added such a fun dynamic! The love scenes were simply perfection. Kudos to the author! I was struggling to get through books lately, but I couldn't put this one down—I finished it in less than 24 hours! 😂

    First, I should warn that this is not a shifter romance. It’s much more classic “knights, princesses, and a dangerous dragon” story. I think knowing that might help going in. After that, it’s a cute fake dating story that you may adore.

    If I had to complain, it’s that I’d love even more dragons. Petitioning for a sequel Dragon Queens 2: More Dragons More Queens.

    Overall a sweet story.

    I loved every word of this story and I'm hopeful we'll see even more like it from this author someday!! The world absolutely needs more wlw fantasy stories, especially ones of this quality!!

    The developing relationship between Gwen and Ava was full of passion and love that never lost its luster throughout. I enjoyed going on this journey with them and seeing how their ruse progressed from fiction to reality.

    There were some nice twists and plays on words with prophecies in this which I enjoyed. Also, how those same prophecies lead to certain heartfelt realizations between our heroines was very sweet.

    I can't finish this review without mentioning the secret third star of this series, Wrath. I enjoyed all the interactions with them, and the teasing banters they had with Gwen. They're a bit of a second half addition and that's probably the only drawback haha. Wish there was more of them.

    Finally, I loved how this ended and how everything resolved itself. It all came together and lead to a beautiful future! Truly a great read! Hope to see more from this author!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Une histoire romantique lesbienne avec un peu de fantasy
    Reviewed in France on February 2, 2024
    Cette histoire est plutôt mignonne, une vraie romance entre deux femmes qui commence par le sauvetage de la princesse qui s'est enfuie pour éviter un mariage horrible. Une décision de faire semblant de s'aimer pour échapper à son prétendant va changer leurs vies.
    Pas mal de mention de sexe plutôt chouette, une belle et mignonne romance.
    Une prophétie mystérieuse et un dragon rajouteront un peu d'action, ainsi qu'une attaque du royaume, mais n'espérez pas batailles et morts car c'est plutôt de la lecture ado/jeune adultes (sauf le sexe j'imagine).
    La fin était trop rapide et les conflits réglés trop facilement à mon goût. Ce livre traite aussi de la politique d'un royaume mais ce n'est pas gonflant. Il a une toute petite partie qui parle d'homophobie mais très minime. Et un personnage jugé violent et qui viole des femmes. Toutefois il ne s'agit que d'une mention des faits à 2 occasions sans details.

    Donc tout cela pour conclure que c'est une histoire à lire, vraiment mignonne avec des personnages attachants (et un peu bêtas quand même quand il s'agit de sentiments) avec un tout petit peu d'action, de fantasy et un dragon.

    Reviewed in Germany on February 11, 2022
    A tale of high fantasy with a fantastic leading lesbian duo. Rich story telling, solid world building and a sizzling romance. A second book about the protector and her princess would be great.

    The story have no cliffhanger and end with an happy end. So if you like dragons, high fantasy, strong women who are not afraid to love other women this is a book for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars i loved this book
    Reviewed in Canada on August 14, 2023
    I really enjoyed Dragon Queens, i loved Ava and Gwen, i loved them as characters. And i found what truly brought out them as characters as i read, what fleshed them out as people, and drove the story forward were the beautiful, hot sex scenes and the what happened around the sex scenes. Usual sex scenes help show were a relationship is, as a book progresses, the intimacy that is developing between two people, but in Dragon Queens the sex scenes and the the actions and story around them, did more than that for me, for me they told the story itself, they were so full of heat, and life, and Ava and Gwen, and Ava and Gwens circumstances, the story, for me, progressed through Ava and Gwens intimate encounters, and how their story was dependent on these encounters, in a beautiful way. Im sorry i really don’t think my words are doing justice to what i am trying to express! I guess what i am trying to say is that this is a beautiful lovely gorgeous read, and the author, for me, wrote these beautiful sex scenes, including the actions surrounding them, that are the most beautiful part of the book for me, and are the centre, for me, of the telling the story of two awesome women.
