Enjoyable holiday fare that felt a little immature regardless.

Such a fun book! It's based on Beauty and the Beast, where Alun is the beast, a fae who was cursed to be ugly, after the death of his lover. He's spent the last 200 years exiled from Faery, living in the human world, and currently works as a psychologist for supes.
David fits in perfectly with Alun's world, even though David knows nothing about the supernatural, and Alun fights against him being there with his very being. They just work.
But of course, with faeries, all is not as it seems, especially not David! Of course, he comes to love Alun in spite of his curse, and becomes even more important than he ever dreamed, and it's all just so sweet and fun. Now I'm asking myself why I waited so long to read this, and ready for the other brothers.

This was super cute! I loved David and his constant pop culture references, optimism, and terrible dancing. Alun was gruff but caring, and the twist about his curse was fascinating.
My one minor complaint is that it could have used a sex scene other than the frottage midway through. Yeah, I like penetrative sex. So sue me. Still highly recommended, and I look forward to the brothers' books.
*second time through over three years later and the lack of more sex scenes didn’t bother me a bit. Guess my priorities have changed.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. Honestly, based on the title, the cover, and even the blurb, I thought it would be a little silly. It wasn't. I mean, don't get me wrong, there was humor, but the story itself was pretty serious. Not only were the characters interesting, but the world was fascinating, too. I'd happily read more books about all kinds of things that were presented in this one (Alun's brothers, his clients, David's aunts). I won't lie, I called the "twist" pretty early on in the book, but the way it played out was still fun to read. I look forward to checking out the rest of the series.

Good start to the series
I enjoyed this story. David was as cute as Alun was grumpy. Faerie and paranormal creatures are reimagined in many books. This doesn’t delve into too much detail, but I still got a good sense of the world. I also liked the idea of a supernatural psychiatrist.
