Publisher's summary
Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is the story of Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free—no matter how much it might hurt her.
The intro follows....
Lisane:
My whole life, I had been a creature used to candlelight.
But I wasn’t accustomed to my own breath hot against my face, or the rough feeling of fabric against my cheek—or knowing that my wrists were tied behind my back, painfully tight.
The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage…. We’d been running away from the Deathless...
And now I was here.
Wherever here was.
Tied up, in the dark, on the ground, with a bag around my head.
The very thing my father had been afraid of for me for my whole life—and the reason I lived in a gilded cage, only getting to leave the palace when I had throne-sworn mages by my side—had apparently happened.
I had been kidnapped.
Rhaim the All-Beast:
Every mage gets one clear vision on the eve of their Ascension into their full powers, right before they get the brand of their mage-mark: you see the thing that will cause your absolute demise.
Some men see snowy peaks or waterfalls, others bucking horses, and some lucky few see themselves with old and wrinkled hands, passing peacefully in their sleep.
In all instances, we’re told, the reasoning behind the visions is the same: if you’re strong enough to be trusted with powers, then you must learn to accept the hand of fate, as surely as you’d earned it as your mage-mark.
You need to know, deep in your bones and now scarred on your skin, that while there are things in the world you can change with your powers, death comes for us all.
There is no amount of magic that can escape it.
And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there—the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since—I knew it was the beginning of my end.
She had no idea who I was, or what we were to each other. She knew nothing about my fate or future with her, or how she was destined to kill me.
Which meant in the present...she was mine, to do with as I pleased.
And I wanted to see her crawling.

Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh surround me, suffocate me, but I am the vile ruler who controls it all. I long for warmth, yet all that I touch is cold. Then, she stumbles in to my domain, lost and frightened, alone and confused. And I terrify her even more. She calls me the devil, so I show her pleasure, like only the devil can. I am the heat that stirs her flesh, the longing that trembles her bone. She begs her body to refuse, to escape my embrace, but I am her master, the puppeteer of passion. I am the King of Flesh and Bone. Welcome to my court, little one.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

Perched between branches and shadows, we watch, we scheme, fighting for a kingdom forgotten and forlorn. Until we rip her away with our claws, our prisoner, our pawn, our plaything. She’s innocent and pure, fragile and helpless…but oh so guilty by blood. She calls us beasts, wicked and evil, vicious and cruel. We are all that and worse. One of us offers her shelter beneath his wings, whispering promises of pleasure, seeking redemption. The other longs to shatter her into a million pieces, whispering promises of pain, seeking revenge.

It was supposed to be easy: find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done. For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it. But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Except our intel was wrong. She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

Absolutely devourable
Cannot wait for the next one. I absolutely ate this up! Suspense with a hint of “forbidden” love when you want something that is “bad” for you! I like a good bad boy… dark desires and impulses. Definitely can not wait for more.

Great Enemies To Lovers
I really like this book. This book is my favorite troupe, enemies to lovers. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale. Lisane and Rhaim kinda excited me. This book had me hooked from the first paragraph. I like how Rhaim doesn't get forceful with Lisane. The narrators are new to me but they fit the characters perfectly. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out.

Fun Fantasy Romance
What do you get when you combine a moth, an all-beast, and a spider creature? A magical, dark fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Bend Her was my first book by Cassie Alexander. Fantasy is not my go-to genre, but I enjoyed this rollercoaster adventure. The characters were unique and the story is not overcrowded with a plethora of fantastical beings to track. Cassie’s storytelling is bursting with vivid imagery, dynamic characters, and pulse-pounding plot twists. I found the evolution of Rhaim and Lisane’s relationship captivating. Cassie’s storytelling is enchanting, steamy, and action-packed.
Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland were new-to-me narrators. Victoria’s characterization of Lisane’s demure princess-turned-resilient survivor was fascinating. Matthew Holland’s performance of the gruff, reclusive, seductive mage, Rhaim was compelling. Their styles and pacing worked well together and lent to the flow of this rollercoaster adventure.

Loved this!
Whoa! This book surprised and thrilled me! Yes its a take off the Beauty and Beast story with its own twists. It has the paranormal element and it is a little dark but I really enjoyed that storyline. The little touch of BDSM is okay but not my thing and it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story. Each character made me *feel* for them and just like each of them I looked forward to their time together. I want to hive a shout-out to Rhaim’s first magical creature as he was a delightful add to the story.
This does end in a cliffhanger but there is a snippet of the next book that appeases. I look forward to the next in the series! I did listen to this on audio. Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland did a wonderful job narrating. Ms Mei I have listened to many times as I adore her work. Mr Holland is a new to me narrator and he did very good with the changes in the all-beast

Felt more Howl’s Moving Castle
So, I’m a huge fan of Howl’s Moving Castle and this gave me more of a “if Howl resented Sophie a bit and it was 18+” than Beauty and the Beast. My only issue is that I feel like nothing really happened throughout the entire book. It was a slow burn with a bit of bdsm thrown in, but that was about it. No real plot movement, no major issues. Just her stuck in the castle and Raim occasionally coming around. Still, I was completely obsessed with this book. I’m starting the second now.

Great start to the series!
“Bend Her” is a spicy, dark and tantalizing Beauty and the Beast retell that pulled me in from the start and is a delicious dark retelling treat.
Lisane, a princess, is now the captive of the Rhaim, a mage who has been around for a long time. Determined to stand on her own and break free, Lisane tries to appeal to any part of his humanity. The two form a mentor/mentee relationship that is filled with lots of sexual tension.
This is the first book in the series and it starts off so intriguing. I was pulled in immediately and could not stop listening. I love darker retellings and this one is great. The tension between Lisane and Rhaim was delightful and I was waiting for the big moment. They bring out the best in each other regardless of how their situation is. The story does end on a cliffhanger but it’s a 3 book series so I was expecting it. I’m looking forward to the next part of their story.
The narration of this book brings it to life in a magnificent way. Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland were the perfect choices. Victoria brought all of Lisane’s fiery spirit to life and Matthew, new to me narrator, was growly perfection.

🥰🥰🥰
I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!! The slow burn and build up was amazing and frustrating all at the same time. Only frustrating because I'm an impatient reader lol. I absolutely loved the creativity in being able to take the idea of beauty and the beast and make it it's own new unique story entirely. Love, love, loved it. Now impatiently waiting for book 2 . . .

Wow! Just wow!! This was my first book by Cassie Alexander and let me tel you… it will most definitely not be my last.
The world building in this book is incredible. Cassie does a great job of setting us up with everything we need right off the bat and never strays into area that leave the reading wondering what happened.
The story of Rhaim and Lisane is a mind blowing experience.
The story of Rhaim, the beast falling for the princess who is destined to be his downfall, and Lisane who was traded off by her father without her knowledge. There is so much push and pull with these two but it’s soooo worth it. The angst, the sexual tension, the trust!! I absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this book. The
The audiobook was fire 🔥🔥🔥!! Both narrators did such an amazing job portraying the Emi this of these characters. Rhaim was narrated by Matthew Holland and Lisane was narrated by Victoria Mei. And let me tell you that they fit their roles perfectly! Each time there was that push and pull, they did a great job using their voice to push all those feeling to their audience. Absolutely killed it! I am definitely looking forward to the second book, Break Her 🖤

A little simple but a fun listen.
For my own personal taste of dark fantasy romance, it was a little simple and it seemed kind of rushed. However, it has a plot that I have not read before and I admire originality - even more so because it was a spin off of a loved fairytale. I loved the book but I am just used to a more complex story. I also think the people reading it could have been picked better.
