Ummm okay this book was better than I thought. A couple of very spicy type scenes plus a bit of a slow burn? A twist at the end I didn’t expect. I shall definitely be reading book two when it’s available in June.

This is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a twist.
Things I like:
1. Polyamorous relationships
2. Queer love
3. Great spicy scenes
4. Reverse harem
I don't want to go into too much detail because of spoilers, but there is a lot to love about this.
Things I didn't like so much:
1. Poorly edited - I think this may be published by the authors themselves, so I am giving them some grace with this. But as an avid reader, one of my biggest pet peeves is poorly edited books. There are mistakes and repetitions that pull the reader out of the story that could have easily been fixed by another pair of eyes.
2. In one scene, it's almost identical to what happens in the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast. Again, I feel like it pulls the reader out of the story and into a cartoon movie. I don't know if they were trying to pay homage or like put an easter egg in there, but in my opinion, it didn't work.
3. The MC is hard to pin down personality-wise. Maybe it's my own perception clouding my judgment, but I feel like she is almost contradictory at times. She's still likable, but not always relatable and honestly that's ok.
4.Ends on a cliffhanger and you have to wait for the next book (or however many books may be in the series) I didn't realize this was going to be a series. I hate having to wait for the next book to be published. If I had known, I would have waited for the series to be complete. I have a bad memory, so I'll probably have to reread it.

Spicy spicy 🥵
Such a good book, the end has you wanting for more (which is luckily coming!) The plot pulls you in and the characters are loveable.

I'm very confused on where this is going.
Recap
Rose is human, has a shitty life, mom left when young, dad went crazy thinking she was taken by fae, her high school bf Lucas was abusive. She lands in the fae realm falls for the princes who have been cursed. Kel forces her back to human world. Sounds like Kel wont admit the mating bond cuz if he does she'll be given to the prince of thorns (evil). But hes also her mate but only he knows it.

This is a unique beauty and the beast retelling with in the Fae realm.
The Fae realm is separated into the four seasons, and each season is ruled by a prince. All 4 princes live together in a special castle in the center of the realms. The castle and its inhabitants are all cursed to shift into animals at night. To break the curse the 4 princes must find their true mates and accept their love.
Roselina is a bookworm who has never felt accepted or at peace in her home. Her father is never home, always searching for his missing wife who he believes is in the Fae realm. She feels indebted to a boy from her home, even though he treats her horribly, she stays.
It’s not until she finds the Fae kingdom that she starts to finally feel like her true self. This book follows the story of her finding herself and finding the curse surrounding the lands. It ends on a cliffhanger and a devastating moment. I can not wait to read book 2 to see where all the relationships go from here.
This is a why choose novel with MMFMM. MM and MF explicit scenes, mature 18+
