Publisher's summary

I could save him, but he would ruin me.

The beast.

The creature that stalks the forbidden wood.

The dragon prince.

He has suffered a fate worse than death. We all have. A curse put upon us by the mad king.

We are a kingdom locked in time. Shifters unable to feel our animals. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction.

The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. The last dragon shifter.

He's our hope.

He's my nightmare.

When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn't punish me with death, as he's entitled.

He takes me, instead. Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. Seeks to use me.

Apparently, I can save him. I can save the whole forgotten kingdom, locked away by the demon king's power.

But it would mean taming the monster beneath his skin. It would mean giving myself to him.

It would mean my ruin.

This is a dark and spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring an anti-hero, a strong heroine, and a humorous supporting cast. This is an enemies-to-lovers and possible fated mates story suitable for 18+. It's the first of a trilogy, ending on a cliffhanger.

Maybe I’m too vanilla

I usually enjoy Breene’s books. I like some sexy in my books. If the plot was fantastic, I could get past most of the vulgarity. I couldn’t get past chapter five. It was just too much and seemed like there were plot holes. I even went back and reread the first few chapters to try to see if I missed something. I didn’t. I loved the Demigods series and the Midlife series. I thought I could handle more smut, but there seems to be far too big of a jump from those former series and this one. Although I didn’t care for the Beast’s voice in this audiobook, I loved how the narrator portrayed a drunk character. That was very believable.

Meh

Didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. I had to force myself to finish it since I was hoping it would get better.
