Review: This book is very loosely connected to the first book in this series so it took a little bit of adjustment for me to learn the characters. (We do get some scenes with The Maddest Obsession characters though so that's nice!) I love a good beauty and the beast inspired romance and this one did not disappoint. I am a huge fan of stories where the MMC speaks a language that the FMC does not, or very loosely, understands (thank you to my Kindle for the translate feature). The middle of this book was a little drawn out for me and the resolution was a little too quick in the end.

Likes: cameos from MC’s from the previous book, realistic fear surrounding kidnapping, addressing stockholm syndrome 

Dislikes: third quarter breakup, a little longer than necessary, quick resolution
Tropes: Forced proximity, rival families, kidnapping
