A review by emlickliter
Of Beasts and Beauties by Miranda Honfleur, Emily Allen West, Katherine Bennet, Emerald Dodge, Ryan Muree
4.0
So this anthology has 5 parts, so here is my 5 part review:
1) No Man Can Tame - I really liked this one. Lots of good world building; the leading lady has some nice development; nicely choreographed fight scenes!
2) In The Garden Of Gold And Stone - Ryan Muree -- It’s like Belle falls in love with Mrs. Potts…but if Belle was a guy and Mrs. Potts wasn’t a mature teapot. And with more intertribal warfare! It was different! Happy Reading!
3)Eye of the Beholder - This one was predictable, but enjoyable. This one was very Hallmark movie (which is not saying I didn't enjoy it because I like those). But if you are expecting a big reveal or plot twist...this is not your story. Still cute!
4)Excalliber - This may have been my favorite. It had a very slow start, but once I got into the story I loved it. Out of all of them, I want to know what this girl does next!
5)The Blooming - This was my 2nd favorite. Great heroine! Cool world. Excellent "Gaston" character - might have been my favorite character in the anthology because he was so deliciously smarmy. I have no actual clue why this title was chosen though, but it is very Beauty and the Beast sounding.
I would recommend most of this anthology! I did get an advanced copy of the first story, but it doesn't change my opinions.
