This book is loosely a retelling of beauty and the beast. Briar is in an abusive relationship with her husband, so she makes a deal with a demon. The deal has her being auctioned off to creatures from other realms. She is now in a contract to live with a dragonoid for 7 years. But she ends up falling for him more than she intents. They two have sex and role play. My only problem is that they do not have a conversation about their sex before hand. This is part of the plot of miscommunication.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this! It gave me the same kind of feels that the wicked villains series did. And it felt slightly nostalgic as well as very sexy and deeper than you would anticipate monster smart to be which seems to be a key factor in Katie Roberts is writings and I love her creativity and I love her willingness to explore the kinky and dirty and the things no one else typically likes to talk about. And she provides really great content add a really incredible pace. I just love her work and I love her and I can’t wait to carry on with this monster series :-)

Cute story, but not a fan of the name Briar Rose though I assume this story is kind of a cross between Beauty & the Beast and Sleeping Beauty.
I would suggest the authors editor take another look at this book though. Multiple spelling typos detracted from the storyline.
