A Ruin of Roses by K.F. Breene
4.0
This book caught me off guard. I knew that this was a BATB re-telling but I did NOT know how SPICY it was going to be! I love spice but this series has a LOT of spice! The characters in this book are all very sexual and there is spice in pretty much every chapter.
Outside of the spice factor, the story line pretty much follows what most would expect from A Beauty & The Beast re-telling...the main characters, Nyfain & Finley, the curse, the captivity, the banter, the sexual tension, etc. I did find that the MC's reluctance to admit feelings for each other was a bit annoying but not surprising. I was a little underwhelmed by the ending because I flipped the page and said, "Is that it?" but I definitely picked up the second book to pick up where the first left off!
I did like the book and the story is predictable (thus a re-telling) but I feel like the actual story took a back seat to all of the smut. Don't get me wrong, I still read the book and read the next two very quickly and I enjoy reading sexy books but I would have enjoyed a bit more plot in this book.
