Review from Fame and Fortune →
Leaves reader befuddled. Everything happens SO FAST and without much explanation of what happens between one plot development to the next. It reads more like a series of synopses than one fluid book. The point of view changes on a dime that I kept having to rewind to figure out who I am hearing fromnow:..
Review from Cutie and the Beast →
I was pretty sure I’d enjoy this & I enjoyed it even more than I thought I might. It’s very funny, charming, and unpredictable (beyond the happy ending one can expect from a proper romance – it’s the getting there that’s the battle), with all kinds of interesting side characters and mythical, magical lore.

Not a fan of the narrator. I had a difficult time finishing the Audible version which is a shame since I really love the book.

the story was a little long. I thought it dragged along so slowly. good though
Review from Cutie and the Beast →
The story had similarities to Beauty and the Beast but was not a retelling. David was a charming and engaging character. He was well-matched with the curmudgeon Alan. Joel Leslie did an excellent job bringing the story to life.
