Dragon Slippers, Jessica Day George. Hurray for Utah authors, especially Utah housewife authors. A delightful book about an orphaned girl who's aunt offered her to a dragon hoping that a nobleman would rescue her and marry her and help her struggling relatives. Even though a dragon hadn't been seen for ages, it turns out that there are still dragons and Creel might need to be saved. Or she might end up saving everyone else. Very fun trilogy including Dragon Flight and Dragon Spear. One thing the books brought up nicely was the idiocy of racism, in this case against dragons, and how "hard" it is to let it go for some, shall we say uneducated, souls. Others, on the other hand, like the Prince... easily let go of past prejudices once they learn the truth. So, hey, don't be a dragon hater.
