How to Read the Dragons Love Curves Series
Aidy Award’s popular paranormal romance series, Dragons Love Curves, is a steamy, humorous, and body-positive adventure that follows curvy heroines—often powerful witches, succubi, or half-mermaids—as they meet their fated dragon shifter mates. Together, they fight dark demonic forces, protect their realms, and embrace self-acceptance.
While each book features a standalone romance focusing on a specific couple (offering a complete happily-ever-after), there is an overarching plot involving the war against shadow demons and corrupted dragons. Because of this continuous world-building and character progression, reading the books in order is highly recommended.
Recommended Reading Path: Chronological Order
If you want to experience the overarching storyline, character relationships, and side stories in the exact order they occur, you should follow the chronological order. This path integrates the companion novellas and short stories directly between the main novels to prevent timeline confusion:

Publication Order vs. Chronological Order
For the most part, the publication order of the books matches the chronological sequence, meaning you won't ruin your reading experience if you read them as they were released. However, there are a few minor adjustments. For example, Unmask Me was published in 2019 but takes place directly after the events of Tease Me (2018) to check back in on Jakob and Ciara. Similarly, Dirty Dragon was published in 2019, but reading it after the events of Surprise Me (2020) fits the narrative flow perfectly.
Here is the list in publication order for reference:
- Chase Me (2018)
- Tease Me (2018)
- Bite Me (2018)
- Cage Me (2018)
- Baby Me (2018)

What to Know Before You Start
Aidy Award’s world is lighthearted, incredibly steamy, and fast-paced. If you are new to the series, keep these tips and details in mind:
- Fated Mates with a Twist: While the alpha dragon shifters are highly protective, the heroines are never damsels in distress. Witches, succubi, and mermaids hold their own, frequently saving the day with their unique magic.
- Strong Body Positivity: The series features unapologetically curvy heroines. Self-love and body confidence are central themes, contrasting with traditional paranormal romance tropes.
- Standalone vs. Serialized Plot: Every book has a complete romance arc with a guaranteed HEA (Happily Ever After) and no cliffhangers for the main couple. However, the background plot involving shadow demons and the dragon wyverns builds continuously, reaching a major resolution in Slay Me.
- Spinoff Series: Once you finish the main series, you can dive into the Black Dragon Brotherhood spinoff (consisting of Tamed, Tangled, Twisted, and Tender), which follows the elite forces fighting shadow demons in the same universe.
