There are scenes of M/M, so head’s up for that - it caught me completely off guard. Since it is a spicy book, there is the set up for a M/F/M (which is more suggested in this first book), and M/M/F/M/M (which is anticipated for future books).
This is the first book of a series of books (I think 7 total?) in a retelling of Beauty and the Beast in a Reverse Harem setting.
Four Fae princes, each in charge of a respective four seasons?? Yes please! It does deal with some domestic abuse in a previous relationship, and isn’t terribly explored in this book.
I’m going to be honest, it’s not entirely my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it, and I am curious to see how it pans out, so I will be reading the other books as they are released.

This was very hard to read at times. What felt really odd about the book was that it was spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️ but also felt written by someone very young. You would be told an action was happening or something to move the plot forward but there was no description or if there was it was confusing felt weakly explained. It was all tell and no show. When it came to the spice it felt slightly anatomical like talking about body parts and figuring out after how it all worked together. I know that’s a strange way to describe things but that’s how it felt to read it. The plot? Well if you read books in the genre you guessed the plot about 2 mins into starting this book. It was barely existed and was the most simple book I read in a long time.

This was a really good beauty and the beast retelling! Especially because even though I new the original story I still couldn't tell what would happen next. I'm very interested in what will happen next.
