A madcap Regency-era romantic comedy involving a most determined heroine, a baffled scholarly hero, and a surprising number of dragons. Rose Tregarth may have been invited into her uncle’s remote home in the heart of Wales as an act of kindness to a poor relation, but it doesn’t take her long to realise that her newly-met family members are in need of all the help they can get. Between mysteriously appearing little dragons and a threatening new neighbour, Rose is soon up to her ears in plots and schemes to save the people and beasts she’s come to love…with the help of a sweet, baffled dragon scholar and a fake betrothal. “Warm, magical and riotously funny, this book is an absolute treat.” – Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches "Warm, magical and riotously funny, this book is an absolute treat. And a Regency world with dragons? When can I visit?!" -Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches " Claws & Contrivances is a book I would have bought on premise alone - regency rom com? Dragons? Fake engagement? SOLD. To my absolute delight, not only did the book deliver on all of these things, but delivered them well. There is just so much that I adore about this book. The family, the wonderful characters, and the core of kindness that carries through the whole story. A gem of a cozy fantasy that's going on my keeper shelf! " -Lish McBride, author of A Little Too Familiar "After being completely and utterly charmed by Scales and Sensibility, I didn't think the Regency Dragons series could possibly get any better—I was wrong. Claws and Contrivances is a pure and utter delight, brimming with everything readers could want—a wonderful heroine, dragons, a romance, and a magical ending ." - Blogging with Dragons "It was exactly what it needed - it brought me so much joy." - Kristin Kraves Books YouTube review " Witty, magical, and romantic , Claws and Contrivances takes everything wonderful about Scales and Sensibility and improves upon it in every way. A strong protagonist, and bookish and shy love interest, a fake engagement, a wonderful cast of characters, and an evil noble all make a book that will grab you from page one and never let you go. Sometimes we forget that books can challenge us, but that reading should be fun, and reading Claws and Contrivances is an absolute blast . Highly recommended. " - Before We Go blog
