The Prisoner of the Castle of Enlightenment

A mature B&B retelling? Sign me up! Therese Doubet writes a story that has you enticed and hooked and enamored the eeeentire way through. Violaine is a sympathetic character, and her relation to Belle from the original while not being too much like her makes this a retelling worth reading. I know this kind of romance is such a red flag IRL, but by GOD I love it in books! If you nod in agreement with any of this, I urge you: read this book. It's original, exciting, eerie, romantic, atmospheric, and memorable.
