A new sweet and romantic addition to my favourite series! The Baby Dragon Bookshop is the third novel in this cosy, funny & romantic series, where we return to the world of the Starshine Valley and the group of friends that we meet in the previous novels. However you can start reading from any of the books as the storyline provides a detailed explanation of how the characters are related.
This is a very low spice novel and suitable for YA. A sweet and fun storyline.

honestly this book was so fun and sweet. i love little enemies to lovers moment! this was also my first time reading a book by this author and i loved it!

i ended up really connecting with the characters and the romance and the dragons were such a cute addition 🥹 also luke might just be my new favourite boyfriend out of the romance books haha.

the writing style was also endearing and fun, i found myself completely engrossed into the story. the author done a perfect job of making it atmospheric and engaging! i kept wanting to pick the book up which is indication enough that i really liked it!

the story itself was adorable and i want more books in this series, for sure. i'll be definitely checking more of this author's books because i was quite surprised at how much i loved it! it wasn't my all time favourite book, but i still very much enjoyed it. highly recommend reading this! it also kinda reminded me of the spellshop book by sarah beth durst, so if you like that book, you might love this one!

If you’ve ever tried to run a book club with members who occasionally burst into flames (literally), The Baby Dragon Book Club is your next favorite read. It’s charming, hilarious, and just the right amount of singed around the edges.

The baby dragons are equal parts adorable and disastrous — picture toddlers with wings and opinions about plot twists. The club’s discussions veer wildly between snack time and smoke clouds, but somehow it all comes together in a cozy, fireproof tale about friendship, curiosity, and the power of stories.

Why not five stars? Because one of the dragons drooled on my heart… and now it’s slightly melted. Still, I can’t wait for the sequel — hopefully featuring a fire extinguisher and more snacks.

I’m a member of the baby dragon Club

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Cozy, charming, and full of heart

This book completely stole my heart. Emmeline is grumpy in all the right ways, Luke is the kind of rival you can’t help rooting for, and the dragons? Absolute chaos gremlins. I loved how the story mixed bookshop coziness with gentle magic — it felt like stepping into a world that smells of paper, tea, and a hint of smoke.
A. T. Qureshi’s writing is warm and quietly funny, and even though the plot isn’t high-stakes, the emotional beats hit beautifully. If you love cozy fantasy, slow-burn romance, and found family, this one’s a treat.

📚I was able to read an advanced copy of title thanks to NetGalley, A. T. Qureshi and Avon Books UK 📚
📚All reviews and opinions are entirely my own📚

I love these books so much!
Theyre so cute and cosy and perfect for this time of year.
Great to read between the the chunkier fantasy I like it read.

Book three is almost here! These are cute romance movies in book form (with adorable baby dragons!) I always call them my sorbet books because they are lovely palate cleansing, low stakes, feel-good stories and sometimes you just need that. As an oldest daughter, I really enjoyed watching Emmy break a bit free from her role as the perfect people pleaser and learn to accept help (and learn that accepting help doesn't make you a burden.) The impression she gives in the first two books is definitely more BAMF and so seeing the deeper side of her was really nice. And the baby dragons are both adorable and exasperating, just as we're used to.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an e-ARC of this book!

This story was honestly so sweet and cozy.

I think because of the level of spice in it, this would be okay for YA audiences. The romance is good, we love an enemies to lovers & with the addition of baby dragons... I'm sorry but cuteness overload with just a hint of chaos.

Really enjoyed it and will absolutely be reading the next one when that becomes available.

4🌟🌟🌟🌟

The perfect cosy romantasy if you’re looking for a lighthearted and happy read. Two of my favourite things, enemies(ish) to lovers and dragons 🤌🏻

Extra points for the oldest daughter representation.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc because once again I absolutely adoreeeeeeed this book!!! I’ve enjoyed every character I’ve met in this series and every dragon (and other creature) too! I especially love learning little aspects of each characters culture through their foods and drinks! I’m so happy I was approved to read this because I’ve been such a big fan of the series 💖🐉

*I received an ARC via Netgalley*
Much like the previous books, I flew through this. I knew this was going to be a great story given that Emmeline is the FMC. I've been ridiculously excited for her story since The Baby Dragon Café, and I think is may be my favourite of the three books. The light world building makes it easy for readers to fall into this world, and the characters were so fun and entertaining, I couldn't help but be invested in their stories. This slow burn, rivals to lovers, with an eldest daughter FMC, story is the perfect cosy/comfort read. And we can't forget about the dragons. My only complaint is that the main plot point was wrapped up too quickly, but I'm sure readers who are more invested in the romance will not mind this. I can't wait to see more of the other characters from this series, and I will very likely read this again.

This series is just so cosy, and each book is perfect to devour. I feel like I read these books so quickly, but they're just such easy, cosy reads, and I find myself not wanting to put them down.

This one featured a lot more of the baby dragons, which I loved. It was also an enemies to lovers story! Definitely one of my favourite tropes, so I loved that. And it was set mostly in a bookshop! Another reason to love it.

If you want a cosy, charming read (with added baby dragons), I definitely recommend this one. I now have my fingers crossed that the Locked Library do a matching edition of this one 🤞

Okay this might just be my favourite of the three! Emmeline was painfully relatable as the person who does everything for everyone but can't accept any help or admit any weakness herself. And Luke! What a sweetheart.

Once again, it was the setting that really captured my heart. So cosy and wintery and slow and comforting - the perfect atmosphere for a really gentle, feel-good story. And so much delicious sounding food! My mouth was watering every time the characters ate anything. Also I desperately need a baby chimera in a sweater, please and thank you!

Story-wise, this one flowed really well - quick to read and utterly charming. My only real frustration was how the main conflicts in both halves could have been solved if the two characters had just sat down and talked it out. At one point the solution was so obvious I found myself mentally shouting at them!

Still, it was completely adorable and had me smiling from start to finish.

Omg these books - absolutely too cute to handle. In between the adorable baby dragons and the addicting romance element, you’re just filled to the brim with ‘awww’ with a side of melt.

They’re super cosy with a vibe of their own. They have the fantasy element and I love the world it’s set in. Where the coffee is dragon roasted (or chimera roasted depending on your supplier) and dragon riding is an everyday occurrence. Oh and if I could dip a toe into these books and come out with some of the absolutely delicious sounding treats frequently mentioned, I would be a happy soul.

The plot was great - with a rivalry afoot between our two mains - Emmeline of the dragon roasted coffee variety and Luke, who’s chimera roasted coffee business is failing and he needs the investment Emmeline is also going for. They both vie for the top spot and with revenge on their minds, who will come out on top? Oh and throw in that they both could fall for each other adds an extra complication to the rivalry..

Loved getting to know Motu as well, our adorable but highly mischievous dragon baby who adds extra chaos to everything.

I so do love these books :)!

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon and Harper Collins Publishers for the arc of this book. The Baby Dragon Bookshop is the third book in The Baby Dragon Series. If you have read the previous two books in this series you are already familiar with the female main character Emmy the owner of a dragon roasted coffee bean company and the male main character Luke the owner of a chimera roasted coffee bean company. This book can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the previous two book since they are amazing. This book does bring back some of the main characters from the previous two books. This book is a quick cozy read. I highly recommend reading this book. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

Firstly, thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

This series is actually getting better, I admit I wasn't as keen on the first book, but I'm hooked and can't wait for book 4!

This book focuses on Emmy, but we still get to peak into the lives of others we have met in previous books. This book is either in the view of Emmy or her arch-rival Luke. We find out why there is rivalry and how their lives have moved on. It's a lovely book, i struggled to put down. I hope we get to see more of other people in the story and find out more of their lives, we invest so much time reading about them that its good to dip back into their lives.

My first book in this charming cozy romfantasy tale makes me want to read the first two titles in the series, plus everything the author writes. Loved it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Heartwarming, Whimsical, and the Perfect Ending

The Baby Dragon Bookshop is pure joy from beginning to end. I absolutely loved learning more about these beloved characters and watching their stories unfold in such a beautiful, satisfying way. A. T. Qureshi continues to weave charm, humor, and heart into every page, creating a world that feels like coming home. Seeing the dragons and their friends find their happy endings was everything I hoped for—comforting, magical, and full of love. A perfect conclusion to a delightful series.

Thanks you avonbooksuk and netgalley for the e arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is like being wrapped in a cosy blanket, warm hot chocolate and eating comfort snacks near a warm fire. Great for autumn weather.

Who doesn't love enemies to lovers ( in my opinion, second chance romance) , cute feisty adorable dragons, a book shop and coffee.

Emmy and Luke couldn't be more right for each other but they also have a past. Emmy can't let him into her heart knowing what he did to her little sister. But she can't fight the spark that's ignited. When she learns the truth and his past and his family will the wall come crumbling down. They also fighting for invest in the roasting coffee businesses and want it both. Will they come to an understanding with being in competitions for the book shop project.

It's such a good read with humour, playfulness and knowing you can ask for help even if your a stubborn but kindhearted person. I love both their family and friend and seeing familiar faces from previous books.

Emmeline runs a dragon roasted coffee shop and is hoping that Anh will invest in her shop. Luke runs a chimera roasted coffee shop in the town over. These two have an extensive history that has been brewing for quite a while.

There are plenty of dragons in this book! Motu is a bit on the naughtier side, which makes him entertaining at times. The meaning of his name made me laugh. He reminds me a bit of my cats when they start acting up.

I liked Luke and Emmeline once they finally started to communicate and get along with each other. It was a bit frustrating when they weren't getting along because it could have been solved if they just talked to one another.
They were so clueless when the solution was right there in front of their faces. I think their relationship works well together overall though! I enjoyed that we got to see characters from the previous books. I've always enjoyed Lavinia personally! It's nice to get a glimpse of where they are at in their lives now. Thank you to Netgalley, Avon Books UK, and A.T. Qureshi for an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion.

I was lucky enough to get the arc for book 2 and now book 3, the vibes carry over and gives the same feelings. I love jumping back into the world and meeting all the characters again.

Such a cute, cozy story. The coziest side of the enemies to lovers trope. With friends, romances, humor and a ton of nice things. Not much happening, it's more vibes than action, in a good way

Thank you for the book
This was my most anticipated book of the year and i absolutely loved it, just as much as i did 1st and 2nd book

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

I really enjoy this sweet, cozy series! The author’s writing makes me feel like I’m there with the characters. This one is my favorite so far and I hope there will be more books in this series.

A delightful, light-hearted romantasy that blends small-town charm, adorable baby dragons and the “enemies-to-lovers” trope. Emmy’s rivalry with Luke and their forced collaboration to turn a failing dragon-friendly bookshop around makes for fun conflict, and the idea of magic-business meets dragon-pets adds a whimsical twist. The tone is cozy and low-stakes perfect for a relaxing read if you’re in the mood for fluff.

The focus here is on cozy vibes rather than high drama. The world-building and tension stay understated, which makes it a soothing, easy readthough those seeking grand adventure or emotional intensity might crave a bit more depth.

Yet another fantastic lightheaded book in the baby dragon series. Characters we know and love make a reappearance and new ones are brought in. It's a brilliant Romantasy, lighthearted with a hint of sadness at times, the way to be. Aamna Qureshi has outdone herself with this series so far. It's an exciting addition and I can't wait to see what comes next.
This book has :enemies to lovers, old flames, family dynamics, competition.

Cosy fantasy meets bookstore romance.

This is the third book in the series and it really benefits from the world building that happened in the preceding books. I loved the Baby Dragon Café and the Baby Dragon Bookshop builds upon this world and the characters.

Tales and Tails is a bookshop where there are story reading sessions for the baby dragons and the opportunity to just browse and choose your books. There is the typical babysitting of dragons and a heap of love and smushy dating that you’ve come to expect of A T Qureshi. If you enjoyed the other books then this is for you

I think this is my favourite Baby Dragon book!

This is a series that has continued to entertain and to bring a piece of cosy (and slightly spicy) feels to the mix.

Having previous characters - including the baby dragons - feature, really makes the story perfect. Offering that sense of meeting up with old friends.

Baby Dragon Bookshop by A. T. Qureshi is a delightful and heartwarming cozy read that completely captured my imagination. It’s the perfect blend of small-town charm, bookish comfort, and gentle fantasy—an ideal story for anyone who loves escaping into a world filled with warmth, friendship, and a touch of magic.

Qureshi’s writing is whimsical and inviting, drawing you right into a bookshop where dragons and humans coexist in harmony. The characters are wonderfully endearing, and the community feels so alive that you can almost picture yourself wandering its streets or curling up among the shelves.

I especially loved the balance of humor, heart, and magic woven throughout the story. It’s cozy, uplifting, and full of charm from start to finish. I’d love to continue reading more about this enchanting town and the people—and fantasy creatures—that call it home.

Overall: A cozy, magical, and bookish delight that left me smiling long after I finished. Perfect for fans of feel-good reads with heart and imagination.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

These books get better and better.
Absolutely love the other books in this series. Was so happy when I got the opportunity to review this book.
Highly recommend!
Loved the storyline and the characters.
Love the dragons .
Thanks Netgalley for letting me read this book for an honest review

The 3rd book in "The Baby Dragon" series did not disappoint! It was just as charming, lighthearted, romantic, and full of baby dragons as the rest of the series.

I love this series because it is so cozy. The romance is so sweet and charming in every book, and I am always rooting for the main love interests to get together. In this 3rd installment, Emmeline and her long time business rival Luke are set in a competition to win a HUGE business investor. As they work to prepare their proposals on who will win the business of the new coffee shop set to open in the local bookstore, they just can't help but start to catch feelings for each other.

Just as enchanting as the last 2 books, this installment includes:
-lots of baby dragons(more than book 2!)
-enemies to lovers romance
-a glimpse of the romantic couples from the previous books
-light spice (think 1.5/5 spicy pepper - there's a 1 page open door scene, everything else is fade to black)
-a charming valley where we get to meet new dragons and even some chimera's

This is the perfect series to pick up as a light, charming, palette cleanser. Each book is so quick to read, and I always have a hard time putting them down! This particular book took approx. 5 hrs/3 days of reading. It's the perfect cozy read for winter as well as it takes place around December. I love how all the characters are so sweet and they really want the best for each other. The friendships are adorable, the relationships between owner and dragon are so cute, and the romance in this was fantastic!

The only thing that I feel could use more work is the writing. It's akin to how a high schooler/fan fic writer would write. A lot of sentences/sentiments are constantly repeated throughout a paragraph or throughout the book, and I'm like "you JUST said the same thing a little while back". While it does make the book easily readable, I think it could use a bit more editing. However I also think the author has improved a bit on this since book 1.

I'm excited to see where this series goes next....from the excerpt at the end of this book, it looks like there might be a spinoff series following Ginny!?!?!?!

Absolutely recommend for the adult audience who is looking for a light, cozy, charming romance! 4/5 stars

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The Baby Dragon Bookshop is the perfect cosy autumn read and such a beautiful conclusion to the series. I’ve loved every book in the Baby Dragon world, and this one absolutely didn’t disappoint. The writing is warm and comforting, the pacing is spot on, and the baby dragons are as cute and chaotic as ever.

I adored watching Emmy and Luke’s story unfolds. Their banter, the pranks, the slow reveal of their history, and the way their relationship grows was truly perfect. It was very wholesome and minimum spice so I’d say it’s perfect for teens and adults.

The themes of friendship, community, and healing really shine here, and it felt like the ultimate cosy escape. I can’t believe this chapter of the series is over, but what a perfect send-off. Cannot WAIT for the spin off!!!

The Baby Dragon series is my ultimate cosy comfort series which I absolutely adore. I have loved every book in this series so far and feel beyond grateful that I have been able to read the third book early. The fact that this is based around a bookshop is everything and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m so glad Emmy and Luke finally got their time to shine. I loved seeing characters from previous books make an appearance and I just adored the world

This is the 3rd book I have read by A.T Qureshi and i liked it!

I saw the cover for this book and i had to immediately sign up! Although I stand by the saying never judge a book by its cover, this one once again matches perfectly!

This story is a cute and cozy slow burn romance with no spice which honestly was a refreshing change!

I really liked this book and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy slow burn romance with no spice.

If you love bookshop romances and cute baby dragons with a sprinkle of magical whimsical small town romance stories then this is the perfect cosy romance series for you.

Tropes:

Rivals-to-lovers❤️

Bookshop romance 📚

Small town 🍂

Low spice 💗

Light fantasy✨

Thank you to the publisher Avon Books UK and NetGalley for sending me the ARC.

I adored the Baby Dragon Bookshop. I loved the first 2 in the series and this was just as amazing. I kicked my feet several times whilst reading this and just found it amazing. Cannot wait to read more. Perfect cozy fantasy fall vibes ✨️

I have loved every page of the previous two books and so this one was a no brainer for me instant ARC request and first on my reading list once it was approved. This was extraordinarily good as all of her books are and once again it proves that romance books can be five stars for me just as much as epic fantasy and historical fantasy because honestly it was like she had read my mind and written the perfect book. Let me dive into it.
To begin with Emmeline and Luke have this raw chemistry that is so present in every line and gesture towards each other. It means that even something as simple as handing her a thermos of tea has so much emotional charge and feeling behind it and the whole book was devoured by me in one sitting because I couldn’t go to sleep before I had inhaled every word of this gorgeous gorgeous book.
Their history and rivalry is offset against moments where they genuinely connect and we get this slow growth throughout the book towards each other which is so beautiful to see. Often with enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers which this is, they go from rivals to lovers, its instant and overnight and usually just because they find the other physically attractive. However the way this is crafted makes it a love story that will last not just a lust story that will fizzle out when the pages close like a lot of romance books I read and yes. Just read it. This book is everything that the romance genre should be and it swirls in some gorgeously humerous baby dragon moments too (and also a few references back to the last couples if you’ve read the first two books!)
The character of Emmeline is eldest daughter incarnate, and I love that it isnt hammered home that point but slowly shown and developed through her actions. I may have got a tear in my eye when Luke noticed her efforts and helped her – okay I definitely did – because everything about this book was emotionally perfect and romantic and yet somehow builds upon the world that was established in the first two books. I loved seeing the Chimeras side of the valley and I’ve just got all my fingers and toes crossed that we get another book because this is AMAZING!
Romantic Content: we get some steamy making out and a very slow fade to black/less than a page sex scene with euphemistic language.
Violence Rating: Level 1 – its romance.

I have loved the other books in the baby dragon series and The Baby Dragon Bookshop certainly didn't disappoint. I loved the author's writing and the pacing was just right. It was such a cute and easy read and there was plenty of content to keep me interested and reading until the end. I loved the chemistry between Luke and Emmy and I wanted them to have the happy ending that they deserved. Also the baby dragons sounded so cute. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more by the author.
💝 Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

A sweet and fun book for all to enjoy. The romance is not too spicy and suitable for teens, The dragons are cute and cheeky. The plot has friends and community development as the baby dragons tend to wreack havoc.

4.5 stars

I cannot believe this series has already come to an end 😭😭 I feel like I was just reading book 1 a few months ago, and now here we are on the series finale, The Baby Dragon Bookshop. We've had hints of Emmy and Luke in the previous two books before, so I was very excited for their story. And it is so delightfully good. It's filled with the charm and the magic of the previous two books, but the enemies-to-lovers aspect of this one really elevated the book for me. For a large part of the book, Emmy and Luke actually despised each other. They were pranking each other and messing up the other's work. But as the story progresses, with incredibly perfect pacing, you see hints of their past together before it completely unravels.

I loved the banter Emmy and Luke had. It made me giggle so hard at so many points in the book. I also looved how you could tell that they were slowly falling for each other. No spoilers from me, but them getting together was just *chef's kiss*. Their development, as individuals and as two people who slowly rediscover themselves and each other, was incredibly well written.

In writing this trilogy, Aamna Qureshi has created an absolutely stunning world and incredible characters, and The Baby Dragon Bookshop was the perfect way to end it. And I cannot believe we're getting a spin off series!! I'm so unbelieveably excited for that!!!

I really liked this! The whole dynamic between the main characters and the backstories were very good.

There’s lots of humour, that keeps you laughing and turning more and more pages! This is such a feel good story that truly is just something you can sit and read without it being over complicated.

I loved the characters and how they were each well and truly their own people.

I feel that the book flowed very well and didn’t have any points where you were bored! It truly keeps you entertained throughout.

The writing is done in a lovely way, and was a perfect continuation of the series!

Thank you to Avon Books/NetGalley for sending me this eARC copy!

3.75⭐️(rounded to 4 for the stars)

This book in the series focuses on the characters of Emmeline and Luke. I really liked that the story was set during winter this time, it created the perfect atmosphere for the chilly tension between Em and Luke but also such cosy, easy reading vibes.

As a book lover, it was great to have a bookshop setting this time and all the descriptions made you really feel like you were there.

Family and food play a strong part in this book series and it was lovely to learn more about Luke and the reasons why his coffee business is so important to him.

It was nice that characters like Saphira and Lavinia returned as it makes it feel like a little reward for reading the whole series and getting those snippets of how their relationships are progressing.

This was probably my favourite of the three books. I’m not usually a fan of a slow burn but I really liked the characters in this book so it made it all worthwhile. The coffee shop business plan rivalry was a good way to showcase the forced proximity trope as well as an enemies to lovers romance.

I also really appreciated that this book featured more dragon and chimera content as it added that extra fun fantasy element.

The Baby Dragon Bookshop absolutely melted my heart. It’s whimsical, funny, and full of that small-town magic where everyone knows everyone — including the baby dragon who keeps sneaking naps on the romance shelf. The story is sweet without being cheesy, and the found-family vibes are perfection. I finished it smiling and immediately wanted to reread it with a cup of cocoa.

Adorable follow up in the baby dragon series. I was so happy to get to read this one since I absolutely loved the other ones!!

I absolutely love this series, this book was a charming, fun and cozy read. Perfect for those looking to dip their toe into the fantasy world with just a little spice. The writing has good structure with occasional repetition but it doesn’t make you want to stop reading. Although you can read as a standalone I highly recommend reading it in order. Fantastic work once again!

I adore this series as the characters are adorable, quaint and relatable. The small element of fantasy through the use of mythical animals like dragons and chimera add to the freshness of this series. In this book, I loved the bookshop setting and the troupes in it were so on point. Could their issues have been solved by a first half heart to heart? Of course, but who would want that? And life is always more complex when living it. Luke was one of my favourites in this one and jad such green flags all throughout, and Emmy well she is every people pleasers mirror image. I cant wait for more of this beautiful series and a copy of the locked library edition of this book. As a proud member of the baby dragon club, I am so thankful to Avon books, NetGallery and A T Qureshi for this ARC.

This fit in perfect as book 3 of the Baby Dragon series! I was fortunate to read book 2 earlier this year and felt like this one was even better! Just super cozy, fun, palate cleanser little dragon books with adorable storylines! Definitely loving this author and series and the writing style has been great throughout!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

I think this series honestly gets better and better. Think spice meets dragon, just perfect. I love the story and characters, the writing style just never disappoints and I found it so cosy, especially for an enemies to lovers trope. Would definitely recommend, and if you've not read them, read the rest of the series too!

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

There is not a book by Aamna that isn’t a 5* from me!

This story was an absolute joy to read and what a perfect ending to the Baby Dragon Cafe world (I am gutted it is over!!)

Luke and Em’s story is adorable, full of emotions and second chances and I truly loved it. I loved the storyline to this with fighting over a chance to have an investment and a coffee shop inside a bookshop (this is perfection!) and the ending was perfect.

I was truly satisfied at this ending and I found so much joy and comfort in not only, but the whole series 💖🫶🏻

This was such a cosy, sweet, delightful read, filled with charm and all the good feels.

I truly loved Emmeline and Luke's love story, the way they slowly found each other, despite their history. Emmeline is extremely relatable to any eldest daughter, the perfectionism and the need to help everyone else at the expense of herself, and the way that it was ingrained so deeply that it took other people to show her what she was doing and enable her to sometimes say no.

I loved the way Luke saw her, and loved her even when she hated him. He saw all her passion and drive and her selflessness and just wanted to be there for her and be along for the ride.

I loved the cheeky baby dragon, Motu, and the gentle blend of fantasy and real life in a book that just felt like a giant warm hug.

Honestly I think this was my favourite book in the series. Such a beautiful, heartwarming and cosy story about second chances, letting go of perfectionism, and letting your guard down all in the name of love.

4.5 stars

Im pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this! I was a bit wary that it might be cut and paste of the others but it didn't feel like that at all! I really loved the chemistry between the two main characters and was impressed that it didn't feel formulaic, it delivered everything I wanted from a cosy fantasy, banter, low stakes, cute side characters/animals, an absolutely green flag of a male main character and obviously a bookshop setting makes everything better. I'm sad this is apparently the last book!

Ok I loved this book. First the fact that it took place mostly in a bookshop, yes absolutely. Second how cozy the little town was. I see there are two previous books to this series that I need to read and I will. That being said, I loved the two main characters of this series they were so enjoyable and the heartwarming story of love is felt throughout the storyline as well. The story came together nicely throughout and was such a sweet surprise. I’m ready to read more from this author. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This charming final instalment brings the series to a warm and cosy close, wrapping readers in its delightful blend of magic, romance, and bookshop charm. Set in an irresistibly quaint town, much of the story unfolds within a wonderfully inviting bookshop, creating the perfect backdrop for a gentle, heartwarming read. The narrative touches on relatable themes with sensitivity, all while maintaining the light, comforting tone that has made the series so beloved.

Emmeline and Luke’s slow-burn romance is engaging and full of character, with sharp banter, genuine chemistry, and a thoughtful exploration of their complicated history. Emmeline’s struggles with perfectionism and the pressure to always put others first add welcome depth, while Luke’s steadfast support makes their relationship especially satisfying to follow. Add in a cheeky baby dragon and a soft touch of fantasy, and the result is a sweet, feel-good conclusion that fans of the series are sure to enjoy.

Thank you to Avon Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This final instalment in the series is an absolute delight. Just like the first two books, it’s wonderfully cozy and wrapped in that signature magical charm that makes this world so special. The bookish setting was so cute and perfectly sets the stage for a heartwarming story that fans of the series will adore.

Luke and Em’s story was so much fun to follow. Their banter is sharp, charming, and full of chemistry. If you like an enemies to lovers trope you’ll love this one.

As a member of the Baby Dragon Club, I was so excited for this one, and it certainly lived up to all of my expectations.

I am so obsessed with all these books.......I need more!

I cannot wait to see what A.T has in store for us.

This a a MUST read-Cute, funny, lovely, and baby dragons. ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!!!

The Baby Dragon Bookshop by A. T. Qureshi is an utterly charming book filled with warmth, magic and a delightful enemies to lovers spark. Emmy is focused on building her dragon centred business and has no time for distractions, especially not Luke, the infuriating rival she is determined to avoid. Their plans collide when they both seek funding from the same eccentric investor who insists on putting them to the test. The challenge is simple. Work side by side in a struggling baby dragon bookshop and prove they can turn it around.

The set up is playful and the bookshop setting is a joy. The addition of baby dragons gives everything a gentle fantasy glow and brings a lovely sense of whimsy to the story. Emmy and Luke’s chemistry is lively from the outset and the shift from irritation to cooperation feels natural and endearing. The series continues to shine because of its cosy tone, relatable characters and the clever blend of ordinary life with mythical creatures that never feels overdone.

A sweet, funny and heartfelt book that proves even the most fiery rivalry can soften in the right company. A perfect comfort read for anyone who loves small towns, gentle magic and a touch of romance.

This was such a cute and cosy vibe,I have read the other 2 but this 100% is my favourite and the character development was amazing

I love the Baby Dragon series so I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read an ARC for the newest addition!

Emmy is too focused on her dream of owning a dragon bookshop to focus on love, but when she and her rival Luke approach the same investor for funding, Emmy is determined to win and come out on top. However, a series of setbacks has her looking to team up with Luke before her dreams go up in flames.

Emmy and Luke couldn't be more different but also more right for each other. I love the enemies to lovers who have to work together trope! This is going to be a cute one for Valentine's Day!

I think it's a given that I love this book. I absolutely LOVE this series so much. I love these books, I love this author. I just LOVE IT! I would 100% recommend to anyone. Please PLEASE read these books.

Obviously, as a bookseller, I was very excited for this one of the trilogy... And after struggling a tad with Baby Dragon Bakery, I'm glad I was still afforded a chance to read this one early. Because I loved it! Cozy, sweet, everything good from books one and two carries on into this sweet-as-dragon-pie book! I found the characters multifaceted and interesting, with the drives behind both MC's understandable, relatable, and at times they hurt my heart. I really enjoyed the rivals-to-lovers aspect of these two, the way Qureshi approaches the mixing cultures of Chimera owners and Dragon owners, it was done so well and you could see where prejudices were stemming from and how pride (i swear that wasn't meant to be a bookish pun!) gets in the way of some pretty simple choices. I related a lot to Emmy and found myself hooked from the beginning in the unfurling of the bond between her and Luke. A gorgeous ending to a sweet series. One I enjoy recommending to fans of Laurie Gilmore and Ali Hazelwood. Also, as a white woman, I found the inclusion of Qureshi's cultural anecdotes like traditional Pakistani foods really enjoyable in how she really showcases that you don't need to have experience with everything you come across in a book, it made me hungry and look deeper into how diverse the romance books I have read this year, and the ones following the trends of being published have been versus my believed level of diversity. All that to really say, reading diversely is important, and not hard work ever. I love Qureshi's latest few books and cannot wait to see what comes next!

The Baby Dragon Bookshop is the third and final installment in The Baby Dragon series. I really enjoy reading this series. The stories are cute and there are also adorable baby dragons. What more could a reader want? In this installment, we follow Emmy and Luke's love story. It was an enemies to lovers with a little bit of spice. I really love the banter between the characters, and their antics are a lot of fun to read about. Also, you can read these books as standalones, but I highly recommend starting from the first book to fully appreciate the series. Overall, this series is such a lovely treat and I think you should give it a chance. So, grab yourself a cup of coffee and a snack, and take some time to enjoy this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK | Avon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have read all of the Baby Dragon series and this one is as delightful as the rest. Come for the dragons, stay for the desi culture and food chat - this relationship has been teased since Book 1 so I'm so happy these two get their HEA

I loved this book. I really enjoyed the other books in the series and was over the moon that my request to read and review this book was accepted. I loved the story and the character's. The two main characters were brilliant and the chemistry between them was fab. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to read the wonderful book

I can't believe how cute this was! It was so enjoyable to read through this cozy fantasy romance. It was full of charm and so, so sweet. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

4.25⭐️

I've been looking forward to Emmy & Luke's story ever since meeting them in book 1 and their obvious distaste for each other.

With them both having rival coffee companies (Emmy roasts her beans via dragon & Luke via chimera) they are pitted against each other to gain a big investment to their companies and create a coffee shop inside the local bookshop but they both don't trust each other so they need to work on their ideas at the same time in the same place (the bookshop).

Emmy feels like she needs to always be there for everyone even if it means she is running on empty and Luke has a lot going on he needs to support at home.

We finally find out where their story started and what happened. The chemistry and banter between the 2 was so fun to read.

Thank you One More Chapter & NetGalley for this ARC.

A new addition to the fabulous series!! The third novel in the cosy Baby Dragon Series, returning to the world of Starshine Valley. We reconnect with old friends from this sweet, fun storyline. These are the type of books that serve as fabulous stand alone books, as well as in their series. Low spice, cosy, romantic. Perfect Christmas read.

This was a cosy rival to lover romance, with a business competition, and bringing up old feelings and heartache.
I liked the tension and competitiveness between Luke and Emmeline, and the forced proximity in the book shop as they work together. The series always has a fun atmosphere with the baby dragons causing chaos and interfering, and how the main characters are blind to their true feelings until things click.

This series has been one of my favourite loved every single book so when I got the chance to read this early I jumped at the chance to

A romance with little added fantasy with the dragons, just a perfect mix

I loved Luke and Ems story it’s just perfect, sad the series has come to end as could read more and more of these there just so heartwarming and beautifully written

Another amazing book that I would 100% recommend

Proud to be in the Baby Dragon book club
And will read anything Aamna writes.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon books for the ARC

The Baby Dragon Bookshop is the third in the series of romances set in Starshine Valley - a land in which people live side by side with dragons, chimeras and other magical creatures. There is no need to have read the first two books, as the story stands we'll on its own, but familiar characters from the previous books are also present.

This book follows the story of Emmeline and Luke, the owners of rival coffee roasting businesses, as they compete to earn an investment to expand and open a coffee shop inside the local bookshop. The pair have a history and do not get along. By being forced to spend time together they get to know each other more and begin to open up to each other. The conflicts in the book are believable and generally don't feel like the typical romance trope of issues which could simply be resolved if the characters talked to each other, which is refreshing. The conflicts also are resolved in ways which make sense.

The interactions between family and friends are very wholesome and great to read. The other characters have their own things going on and don't feel flat compared to the main characters.

Such a cute and fun book to read. Dragons, bookshops, coffee and romance. What's not to like? Oh, and they add chimeras into this one too. Sweet and easy to read.

4 stars - cosy fantasy

When in college Emmy gets revenge on Luke by breaking his heart, as Luke broke her younger sister’s heart. Now nearing 30, they each have a rival coffee business and compete for an investment in a bookstore. Lingering feelings remain for Luke but what about Emmy?

I enjoyed this one slightly more than the previous - rivals to lovers, more chimera content and a bookstore! I really loved the relationship development between Emmy and Luke - they have history and both try to deny still liking one another. As it’s dual PoV we get both characters inner thoughts as they battle their feelings.

The chimeras were a lovely addition to the story and we still had some dragon content with baby dragon Motu who likes to cause havoc where ever he goes. We get some little updates about previous characters- I love seeing them live out their happily ever afters.

Set across the months of December and January there was some snowy scenes, sledding and hot chocolate- it skips over Christmas so a good read for January and February.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of the ebook.

"Will romance be the plot twist?

Emmy has an enemy, and his name is Luke. The good news? She rarely sees him. The bad news? When she does, she (and her pet dragons) are reminded just how handsome he is.

Besides, Emmy is too busy focusing on her dragon-fuelled business to have time for love. But when both she and Luke approach the same local investor for funding, she's suddenly unable to avoid him. The kookie investor insists they must compete for the cash by working at the local failing baby dragon bookshop to prove their magical business knowledge.

Determined to win the funding, Emmy dives into the task. But making a very flammable bookshop fit for baby dragons is no small feat, and it seems these rivals may need to join forces. Could Luke and Emmy's fiery animosity spark something more between them?"

But don't dragons love books? They can be hoarded after all...

I haven’t read any of the other Baby Dragon books by A.T. Qureshi but, I do have at least one on my shelf waiting for me and I’ve heard so many good things about this being a series that delivers cosy, closed door romances with the added delight of baby dragons! Of course as soon as someone says dragons I’m there and in my humble opinion, if you can say no to baby dragons you are the equivalent of someone who doesn’t like dogs – definitely not a good thing in my eyes!

Despite jumping in straight into book 3 in the series – The Baby Dragon Bookshop, I had zero problems in picking up the story, even if I may have uncovered spoilers from books 1 and 2 – I’m not terribly upset. I don’t think that it will mar any of my future enjoyment of them! Anyway, I’m still in my need for book hugs and The Baby Dragon Bookshop brings them Dragon and Chimera sized!

This book focuses on the enemies to lovers relationship between Emmeline and Luke, with its foundations in Emmeline’s revenge on Luke for dumping her sister in college…the two are now coffee bean rivals and both are vying for a substantial investment in their coffee bean businesses. Of course this brings to live a competitive edge between the two alongside a forced proximity trope, that didn’t disappoint. This is a totally easy, smooth, fun and enjoyable read that totally hits that warm spot – another read that would definitely make any Grinch’s heart grow 2 sizes!

I really enjoyed the banter, the recognition of like meets like and how both characters are there for their family and friends rather than out for themselves. A fun, cosy romance that leaves you with a smile on your face and a desire to find your own baby dragon – especially if you want to knit said baby dragon a little jumper to wear!

Thank you so much Avon Books UK and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

When I saw I cried when I got the email from netgallery about this book it was real, I absolutely love anything to do with dragons especially baby dragons (they remind me of puppies.)

Enemies to lovers was definitely hitting the right spots, this is the 3rd book by the author I have read, and I can’t wait her newest release to come out.

The writing style was easy to read and a lot of fun, I found myself engrossed within the story line and plot of the book. Made perfectly to fit the atmosphere and world within the book, it made me want to pick it up and keep reading.

Firstly, thank you so much for letting me read The Baby Dragon Bookshop.
Ive loved the previous books in thr series, so I knew i would love this one too.
Luke and Emmy are rivals in the coffee industry, but they have to fight for a place in the Local book shop which wants to expans. It's firey, cute. I definitely recommend.

Cozy romantasy with enemies to lovers, a bookshop in a small town, and a baby dragon. I need more of this. It was sweet, it was fun, and I looked forward to picking up the book every chance I could.

A.T. Qureshi has written a fantastic Valentine's gift for romatasy readers.

Thank you for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own.

I like the idea of enemies to lovers but with was more like rivals to lovers and I loved thay even more. I liked this book wayyy more than any other in the series. It's charming, there's tension, laughable moments and overall it's still a cozy good read. Love it!
