I read a novel that combined Jane Austen (without the humour, basically just the era and setting) and dragons. Like, dragons in a society like that. Part of the culture was for lords and landowners to go around and inspect the offspring of the people living on their land. They'd kill and eat the runts.
That book was pretty cool. It was a civilization with dragon lawyers, but also where you could have ritual combat to the death acceptable as an "argument" in a court of law.
Sorry I guess that's not really relevant but your comment reminded me of it.
Edit: aha. Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton. Apparently the correct comparison isn't Jane Austen but Anthony Trollope.

There are way more than this but these are all I can think of off the top of my head. Some are Dragon PoV because I strongly prefer to read those.
The Dragon Age (unrelated to the game) series is pretty good, and not your average fantasy series.
Tooth and Claw is basically Pride and Prejudice but with dragons as all the characters.
Seconding recommendations for the Temeraire and Age of Fire books too.
Haven't read it and may not be rational, but have heard good things about Tooth and Claw.
