Author’s Note: This is a magical retelling of the beloved tale, written for an adult audience. Listener discretion is advised.
Great retelling of Beauty and the Beast I love me a fairytale retelling, and Beauty and the Beast at that!! Even though this is adult, it was not heavy throughout the whole thing. Not sure if that is a turn off or not. I myself actually completely skipped over the sex stuff. But it was not offensive or raunchy, just wasn’t in the mood. Loved the author’s take, so much so that I prefer ordered the next in the series.
It helps us keep our love for the originals alive I adore fairy tale retellings. It helps us keep our love for the originals alive. With the renewed fascination of Beauty and the Beast, I believe that older fans would love this rendition of the original tale. Vivianne’s portrayal of beauty, Princess Anastasia, and Beast, Prince Allister is impressive. She captured the change of emotions and created characters who are both likable and endearing.Â
It gets better. It’s a bit trite to begin with bit gets better. I like the magic and other fairytale elements added into a standard romantic fairytale. It’s not common and I like it. I will be looking up some of her pseudonym written books tho, for less explicit sex.
