About this ebook

A princess who wants to bake, a visiting delegation, and a dragon egg in the oven. 

Princess Evie loves nothing more than spending the evening baking in the castle's kitchen with her best friend Nate, even if she's supposed to be attending royal functions and meeting ambassadors. 

When a foreign delegation visits, Nate manages to get some new recipes for them to try. But that's not all that's new in the kitchen when Evie is gifted a dragon egg and told to keep it in the fire. 

Now, dumplings aren't the only thing being made in the kitchen.

Dragons & Dumplings is a prequel to the Falhaven Castle series, a cozy fantasy with a baking dragon, a princess who wants to be in the kitchen over the throne room, and the baker who wants to be there with her. There is a slow burn friends-to-lovers romance, with a pinch of steam in later books, and an ace heroine.

Ratings and reviews

If I had one sentence I’d say a little less baking a little more talking. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed learning the new things with Evie and Nate but as an introduction to a new world it was a little light on the intro if you catch my drift. I think Evie is going to be a most wonderful and diverse character to get to know in future stories. And I am interested is seeing how they will react and reconnect after their time apart. I would like to know more about Evie’s family and their country hopef

Dragons & Dumplings is the prequel to Laura Greenwood’s new Fallhaven Castle fantasy series. We’re introduced to Princess Evie and her family as well as the significant castle staff. Evie is charming and relatable, not quite fitting in with her royal family. Her childhood friendship with Nate is firmly in the just friends status here, but there are hints of romantic feelings developing between them.

I enjoyed this quick read. It was sweet and easy to read and made me really hungry and want to try the recipes that these two friends make in the castle kitchens. Nice introduction to the main characters in the series too. Plus a complete prequel story that gave a glimpse into the friendship of the characters and introduces a few more. Cannot wait to see what comes next.
