A quick, fun fairy tale retelling. A little too on the nose for me, but it was a sweet little read.

Cute and light Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Cute! The fairytale framing doesn't get in the way. I would have liked a but more about the villain, their motivation was pretty murky.

A very readable romance. Plot line is interesting and the characters ultimately likable. There is a little too much of the buff body etc for my liking, but there is lots to like in the story.
