About this book
Skye is a competent librarian with a hidden talent for chaos, but her very first spell goes spectacularly wrong. Instead of a simple charm, she accidentally traps herself and Luke, a grumpy, book-hoarding dragon, inside the pages of a cringeworthy spicy romance novel. To escape, they must act out the book’s ridiculous plot, which culminates in a high-stakes dance competition.
Forced into proximity within a massive magical library, the pair must navigate a 300-year age gap while dealing with the book’s intrusive romantic requirements. As the grumpy-sunshine dynamic heats up, Skye struggles to distinguish between the scripted scenes and her growing, genuine desire for her brooding companion. With a sassy talking cat familiar providing commentary and a castle full of baby dragons watching their every move, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur in the most delightful way.
This cozy paranormal romance is a perfect Beauty and the Beast retelling for readers who love found family and high-heat fantasy. Krista Luna delivers a sweet, hilarious adventure that explores insecurities and unexpected love. If you are looking for a magical escape filled with forced proximity, sizzling chemistry, and a touch of mayhem, look no further than Ferndale Falls.

Really liked this one! Miscommunication trope is well done and both Skye and Luke had some insecurities feeding their behavior. The funny part is that the book they got sucked into was so poorly written 🤣 like, Luke being forced to say some of the book lines was so OOC haha Luke’s grand gesture at the end was a bit surprising but it is a fluffy feel good HEA romance so I shouldn’t have been caught off guard at the abruptness. But I was because the prior scenes are on one end of the spectrum...

Thank you Krista Luna for sending me this advance review copy for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily. This was so dang good! It was so cozy and very candy sweet. I enjoyed the grumpy/sunshine vibe, and I kept yelling at my kindle for them to just freaking talk to each other already! I love it when you have two very intelligent people, but emotionally they can be dumb as rocks at times. It causes all sorts of chaos and miscommunication, especially when they both have low self esteem...

I loved the premise of this book and I think it’s my favorite of the series so far. I enjoyed how they navigated being sucked into the romance novel and forcing them to confront their feelings towards one another. Plot: 8/10 Magic system: 2/5 Spice level: 3/5 )

Dancing with the Dragon is a warm fuzzy love story with a heavy emphasis on books! I loved the dynamic between Skye and Luke. Princess Buttercup was hilarious as well. Overall, I loved continuing the story of Ferndale Falls as a whole. Nice to see some familiar faces too!! I always love it when a grumpy dragon finds his match and ends up being the biggest cinnamon roll ever. I am a huge fan of Krista's and I will forever read what she writes. I just purchased my paperback today to join \"Faking...

I wanted to love this book as much as the others but just couldn’t. I DESPISE the miscommunication trope and it lasts almost the whole book. Ugh. Luke is the best and I was so excited for his book since we’ve known his character for a long time but his arc just fell a bit flat for me. He and Skye based all of their thoughts and interactions on just body language alone BUT THEY DON’T KNOW EACH OTHERS SPECIES! So obviously they’re both very wrong and bring in their own pasts and biases into it....
