Scales and Sensibility
Scales and Sensibility: A Regency Fantasy Rom-Com | Stephanie Burgis
9 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Sensible, practical Elinor Tregarth really did plan to be the model poor relation when she moved into her aunt and uncle's house. She certainly never meant to kidnap her awful cousin Penelope's pet dragon. She never expected to fall in love with the shameless - but surprisingly sweet - fortune hunter who came to court Penelope, either. And she never dreamed that she would have to enter into an outrageous magical charade to save her younger sisters' futures. However, even the most brilliant scholars of 1817 England still haven't ferreted out all the lurking secrets of rediscovered dragonkind...and even the most sensible of heroines can still make a reckless wish or two when she's pushed. Now Elinor will have to find out just how rash and resourceful she can be when she sets aside all common sense. Maybe, just maybe, she'll even be impractical enough to win her own true love and a happily ever after...with the unpredictable and dangerous "help" of the magical creature who has adopted her. A frothy Regency rom-com full of pet dragons and magical misadventures, Scales and Sensibility is a full-length novel and the first in a new series of standalone romantic comedies.

Some knitting while I put my foot up. Still not fully healed torn ligament from back in January.
And I chose a new read, tagged, for our beach holiday. Seems like a nice and easy read

Okay, I'm actually so excited about this one it deserves a separate post! 🤣 This is a Jane Austen retelling - but with dragons. DRAGONS! 🐉💕📚 Was there ever a book that was more perfect for me?!?! I had no idea this even existed!

#pemberlittens have you seen this?!?! 🥰

DaveGreen7777 If only it was a Jane Austen retelling with dragons that took place in the Star Trek universe, it would have been absolutely perfect! 😁🖖 2y

I‘ve been invited to discuss this book on the podcast Deconstructing Damsels! I am quickly re-listening to the audiobook to prepare for tomorrow‘s recording. Will let everyone know when the episode comes out. In the meantime, check out this book if you like dragons, Jane Austen, and regency romance!

A fun read set in fictional Regency England. With pluck, determination, and a little good luck Elinor saves the day and finds true love.
