Craving some fantasy romance with dragons? I’ve got you covered below are ten swoon worthy fantasy romance novels and shorts that feature dragons.

1. Rayne came to Cairncliff to kill a dragon. Not to kiss one. Love tropes like I came to kill you but fell for you instead?
You’re going to want to dive into this secret dragon shifter romance.
What readers are saying:
“Meredith Hart keeps getting better and better. This time she’s taking us into a world of dragons, elves, and dwarves with a beautifully fleshed-out world that is so vivid, you sink right into it, and intriguing characters so complex they could be actual people. Rayne and Doshir (oh my, what a honey) are magnetic individually but sizzle together. This book has it all—fabulous pacing, steam, and a story that kept me turning the pages.” — Amazon reviewer
2. An enemy princess. A cursed prince. A kiss of flame.
Looking for a standalone about enemies to forbidden lovers. Then I think you’ll adore this book!
What readers are saying:
“These two were so much fun getting to know. While each had a trial and mysteries to face on their own, when they came together, it was fantastic!! I didn’t want to stop reading! The tension between Dorin and Brielle was on point, as was the humor from the other characters; some we already know and love, while we’re introduced to new characters as well! One of which will be getting their own story, starting a new series, and I’m here for it! We also get a cameo from the OGs of this world that we met in Dragon’s Rising, and I was giddy getting to see them again!” — Amazon Reviewer
3. To save their courts, they must pretend to be happily mated.
If you’ve been craving arranged marriage, with enemies to lovers and an unconventional princess, then you’ll adore Master of Storms.
What readers are saying:
“Brielle, A princess of Wylfen. Not your typical princess, no, not at all. She likes nothing better than to dress in shirt, pants and boots so she can dig for ancient artifacts to study. Then there is Dorin, prince and heir to the throne of Balaur. Both countries are mortal enemies. Brielle finds herself saving Dorin from her fathers assassins.. From there the chemistry between the two starts building and I enjoyed the interaction between the two of them. With heart hammering danger you can expect the unexpected and some surprising twists to delight any reader. There is a wild Dragon, A terrible curse, a magic rune stone, secrets revealed, the kings assassins, and of course forbidden love.” — Amazon Reviewer
4. When a fierce huntress adept with a longbow meets a fire-breathing dragon, enough sparks fly to start an inferno.
Fans of fierce heroines, steam, and action and adventure will want to escape into this book.
What readers are saying:
“The romance is sweet and gradual despite their mutual, if inexplicable (he’s in dragon form for most of the book) attraction (don’t worry, it’s not THAT kind of story: the attraction is mostly emotional and spiritual). When she figures out he can shift forms…well it makes a lot more sense from there for her.:) It really was a wonderfully fun read with great characters” — Amazon Reviewer
5. What happens when you stumble upon your childhood crush, only to discover that he’s been turned into a vampire?
Have you always wanted a dragon companion? Well, you’ll love this series where the protagonist must protect a baby dragon.
What readers are saying:
“I absolutely loved reading from Sidney’s perspective! Her personality and humor really made this story so enjoyable. From her relationship to her friends and family to her being genuinely open to communicating with Jordan about things even when she was in denial of her own feelings. And sigh Jordan you moody emo boy you! The way Elsie described him had me giggling and kicking my feet up. He definitely reminds me that my vampire loving phase is never over. He only had 2 or 3chapters from his perspective but I ate em up. And huck!! The cutest kid dragon son ever!! Loved everything about him and how chaotic he was sometimes! Def didn’t think I would feel so attached to a baby dragon!” — Amazon reviewer
6. Aileana is the king’s pet. She has lived her entire life in a tower, waiting for the day she will be forced to marry his son.
Love retellings, then you’re going to love this enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, fake marriage Rapunzel retelling.
What readers are saying:
“I couldn’t put it down and needed to know what was going to happen, especially with that delicious slow burn. Think enemies-to-lovers, clever use of creatures (Fortune Elf!), fake marriage—all the good stuff rolled into one amazing read. Aileana and Xander have such complex, difficult back stories that they’re hesitant to think too much about, let alone share with each other. I really loved and connected with the characters in this story.” — Amazon reviewer.
7. Legend states that when a ruler worthy of the name unites the Five Kingdoms, the dragons will return. Fyia’s conquered the kingdoms, and now she wants her dragons.
Ready to run away to a land of dragons, forbidden magic and dangerous politics? If so you’re going to devour this book.

“This book was a splendid mix of epic fantasy and romance. There was fighting, questing, magic, political intrigue, tearing down the patriarchy, a full cast of delightful characters, and some saucy adventures, too.” — Amazon Reviewer
8. Captive in a dragon lord’s lair. No memory. Stripped bare.
In the mood for fated mates & dark romance? Then you’ll want to snag this delicious dark tale.
What readers are saying:
“I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable…This story is about magic, dragons, lands ravaged by war between a King and Queen who are determined to win the territory of the other no matter the damage they inflict on their people. I’mya and Nyro’s story is action packed, full of suspense and danger, deceit and smoking hot chemistry. This book is a highly erotic fantasy not intended for younger readers.” — Amazon Reviewer

Are you a fan of brooding male heroes, smart-mouthed heroines, and their banter? If so, you’ll adore this book.
What readers are saying:
“Who needs sleep when there is a book that HAS to be finished? Not me! The world that Nicolette Andrews created in Dragon’s Deception is beautiful and dangerous. Liane is courageous princess, even through her pain and weaknesses, determined to uncover a drug ring that is killing her people. Erich is fighting to find a way to break his curse and rid himself of his dragon. There is mystery, corruption, magic and a prophecy as well as a fake dating and one bed trope! This was a fantastic read…” — Goodreads reviewer
