A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas - Book Review
From the beginning, it gave me Beauty and the Beast vibes, but that soon ebbed the more I read. I’m not even sure I can call this a retelling because aside from the premises and the curse, they don’t have much in common.

Ensnared by Zoe Ashwood – Book review
If Tempted sets the scene for the story, Ensnared throws you in the middle of the action with no warning and no regrets. And it’s good!

Reluctant Guardian, by Elisha Bugg – Book Review
The first thing that comes to mind after finishing Reluctant Guardian is that appearances can be deceiving. The story starts with a masquerade ball where the protagonist and her future love interest accidentally bump into each other and they both feel an inexplicable attraction to one another.
