Such a unique twist! I love it! Cannot wait for book two! Well done ladies!
I love the creative twist on this retelling. Full of steamy sexual tension that’s enough to drive you mad. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
I really enjoyed Sleeping Rose! Jen L. Grey and Nicole Kelley did an excellent job with this book! There is humor, depth, and steamy steamy scenes along with shifters, demons, vampires, and fae.
Rose is a feisty, independent woman, whom we get to meet at her childhood. She meets four men who bring a comfort into her life. Each of the men’s personalities are very different.
Thank you, ladies for allowing me to read Sleeping Rose! I couldn’t put it down!
Imagine it. Rose is just a regular dancer who’s been doing this gig for a while. She’s used to it. But tonight, when she goes out to get in a few hours at her job, she’s told to basically take a hike. Ouch. Right? Instead of just going home and calling it a night, she decides to go out for a drink. Too bad her night doesn’t end there. First, she crosses paths with a strange but beautiful wolf. She feels a connection but doesn’t quite understand it. Of course, things don’t stop there. She hits up a new club only to capture the attention of the one and only elusive Elijah. Needless to say that things are about to get really complicated for Rose as gorgeous man after gorgeous man comes into her life. They each tell her the same thing – she’s theirs. What’s a girl to do? Rose believes that she’s just an ordinary human, but she’s about to learn that she is anything but ordinary. Gorgeous men, steamy connections that call to her from each of them, and a dangerous foe who is hunting her and things are about to get real crazy in Rose’s life.
Sleeping Rose by Jen L. Grey and Nicole Kelly is book one in their Rumple’s Curse: A Reverse Harem series. Rose is an engaging character and I love and admire her strength overall. She has a solid head on her shoulders despite all that she has been through. You get hints that she knows that there is more to her than meets the eye, but she just doesn’t know quite what. I have to admit that right now I’m drawn most to her connection with Drake. Drake is practically the perfect guy that all women dream of. I like that each of the different men has dynamically different personalities. I think that this helps to make them truly engaging characters and helps to drive the story. Granted, when it comes to Rose, they are all quick to go supreme macho man and proceed to argue or fight over her. But I applaud that overall she handles the situations well and doesn’t take sides. Now if only the men could develop some sense for five minutes. Right? LOL!
I love how well written this book, and it flows at a great pace. I am curious as to whether Rose has had any supernatural/paranormal encounters before she’s met these men. Because if she hasn’t then she is very quick to accept them for who and what they are. She’s not even phased by the fact that each one falls into a different group. Now, this could be because of her own differences she can feel inside of herself. I have to say that right now Eli is my least favorite character. He’s a total JERK! I don’t get his deal. I have some questions about him though…his he fighting his attraction to Rose or his he just addicted to her blood so he feels that he “needs” her.
Now, be forewarned, while this book does have Rumple in the title (sort of) and tells you that this is a Rumplestiltskin and Sleeping Beauty retelling, this book doesn’t touch on that for most of the story. You might start to question whether this is true or not but just hang in there. When most of the players in place the authors will give us exactly what it is that we are looking for.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I couldn’t get enough. The story is literally action-packed, whether it’s Rose by herself or with her men, the hits don’t stop coming. The characters are unique, engaging, and fun to read about. The story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger but it’s not a major one that will drive you too crazy. I will admit that I’m more than eager for the next book in this series. I’m excited to read what happens next as Rose deals with her men and learns more about herself. This is a book to pick up if you have read anything by these two authors before and enjoyed it. You’ll be adding this book to your to-be-read shelf in no time flat! So what are you waiting for?! Grab your copy and dive in!
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
I so just fell in love with book! We get to meet Rose who had a rough childhood and is working as a stripper secluded in the only world she has ever known. This all changes when some really sex men crash into her life and all of them come with this weird tingle. What follows is some of the most comical male fighting mixed in between steamy scenes and the danger they all happen to find themselves. Each page felt like a new magical adventure that I got to go one and the characters are so well developed I fell like I have known them forever yet I know better. This is one of the best fairy tale mash ups I have read in awhile and I highly recommend it to fans of the genre. In case you can’t tell I absolutely loved it so I give it 5/5 stars. Now when do we get book two?
Supernatural. Rh. 4 Alphas. Vampire, Wolf Shifter, Fae, Demon. Fate Mates. Jealousy issues on MMMM part. Bold, brazen, snarky, Snowflake heroine. Fast paced. Story of a young women finding herself. Funny. On her night off, Rose, meets a vampire who just won’t leave her alone. This starts a series of events. Which lead to some nice stimulating scenes and a lot of questions. A brilliant start to this series. I loved the story. It has me making theories and asking questions. I’d love to see POV from the guys once they get more acquainted. Happy Reading.
Reverse harems and fairytale retellings? This book combines two of my favorite things. It’s the first book in an addicting series. I highly recommend it!
This new twisted take on fairytales is incredibly steamy. Rose isn’t the damsel in distress, she’ll try to step up to fight right along side her men. I absolutely loved the book and can’t wait for more.
