NEW EXTENDED VERSION: RATED 5 STARS   

I really adored this new rewritten and extended version of Lorelei Johnson's original novella, Beauty and the Beast.This rewrite has made the story a whole lot better and given so much more depths to the characters.

You can actually understand why the curse came about, sympathise with the characters and see them more clearly than before and there are so many new plotlines added from the original story.

I really did love this new retelling and am excited for the next one. If you love fairytale retellings, adult fantasy stories, paranormal romances, and steamy eroticas then this book would be right up your alley! 

PREVIOUS VERSION: RATED 4 STARS 

I really enjoyed this short but adult retelling of beauty and the beast. 

The plot paid much homage to the original while also adding in new content and twists that were exciting to read. 

I love the twist of the supernatural elements in this retelling and really enjoyed the steaminess of it.

Timeline and setting were a little off as I couldn't tell if it was fully a fantasy setting (therefore why would there be zippers on clothes) or if it was a more modern setting (which begs the question why belle would be in a gown if this was so) but I'm prepared to overlook it considering it was only a small transgression of setting.

There were a few spelling errors I caught but seeing as the books are being revamped and rewritten I'm assuming they will be seen to in the rewrite.
