Crown of Briars: A Beauty and the Beast Retelling by R.L. Perez

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a retelling of beauty and the beast. The MMC is a grumpy set in his ways king who seems to hate everyone, and the FMC is a daughter of a nasty king who raised her for the sole purpose of shipping her off to the grumpy king to help keep their curse away !!

Tropes include

- grumpy/sunshine
- forced marriage
- cursed king
- hidden magic
- dragon familiar
- dark fae magic
- dual POV
- slow burn romance
- enemies to lovers


Plenty of spice too if that floats your boat :)
