“Did you know that Fae senses are much stronger than humans? I can always smell how much you want me to fuck you. I can taste it, and it’s driving me fucking insane.”

Kate King’s best book yet! I'm a sucker for fairytale retellings, and Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite tales to be tweaked. That this one is also vibing with Anastasia (an absolute gem of a movie, just in case you haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for?) makes for an engaging and exciting story mashup.

A case of mistaken identity. A family obligation. A bit of kidnapping and forced/arranged marriage to the wrong male. A strong FMC. A curse. A destiny.

Alix is the forbidden fruit. Daemon is the fae who whisks her away and cajoles her into staying. Who tries to resist his baser nature to claim her but is bound by duty to shadow and protect her. They have explosive chemistry that cannot be denied, and when they give in to their desires, the pages practically burn.

Fast burn to slower simmer, this is a standalone MF fantasy romance that ends in a HEA. The first of the Enchanted Legacies series, I cannot wait to see what Kate gifts us next!

Thanks to Kate King for the review copy.
