Loved this story! Beauty and the Beast is always a selling point for me but Elizabeth Helen did a fantastic job taking the skeleton of that story and turning it into a full-fledged Fae romantasy. I loved that there were four beasts, ahem, Princes, one for each seasonal realm with personalities that matched their realm. Robert Hatchet did an amazing job giving each Prince his own voice that fit perfectly with the character. I enjoyed the FMC, Rosalina – a book lover, romantic, independent, and strong woman. Stefanie Kay had a wonderful voice and played the perfect Rosalina, sass and all!
The push and pull between Rosalina and the four men created such a great mix of enemies-to-(sort of) lovers, yearning, and angst. So delicious! There was good spice but plenty of plot to support it. And let’s not forget to mention the fifth man, the Prince of Thorns. It was clear something way bigger was going on beyond what anyone knew and this book is such a tease trying to figure it out. I also appreciated that every character had a POV chapter! Now I’m off to book 2 because I am not happy with one of those princes right now and I need my girl Rosalina to prove she’s more kick butt than he thinks! You go girl, get what you deserve!
