I read a lot of fantasy. Life With a Fire Breathing Girlfriend was relatively unique; though elves, dragons, unicorns and magic all existed, the story took place on Earth.Rose Drake is a dragon who needs human faith in the magic and wonder of dragons to help ensure her eggs have the highest chance of survival. David Fraser is the object of her affections - a geeky guy who believes implicitly in magic.Most of the story was their day to day adventures, and that's the bit of the story I enjoyed the most. Rose interacting with the gamers was pretty funny; the skirmishes with the HOA were real-life and petty and hilarious.Of the three mini-novels - I enjoyed the third one the least - the quest felt trivial, the unicorn Smith (a Matrix reference, I assume?) was a bit bland and the end-result just seemed convenient. Still, a solidly enjoyable read.
