This fairy tale retelling definitely had strong connections to Beauty and the Beast, yet it held its own unique setting and delivery. I was better able to relate to this story that its predecessor. I found Annabel a charming “beauty” and Lord Ranulf a surly “beast.” I enjoyed their romance as well as their journey to find acceptance and fresh beginnings. The plot was well thought out and the twists logical. I now have hope that I'll enjoy more stories in this series.
The faith thread was a bit confused, as it felt Catholic at times and Protestant at others.
Content: alcohol, light sexual innuendo, swearing by “holy saints above” and “sweet saints above” and “saints surround us”
