Once upon a time Elle made a mistake. A small miscalculation sends her through the roof of an enchanted chateau. Stranded until her broken leg mends, Elle is unwillingly forced to rely on the good will of the sour chateau owner —the cursed Prince Severin.Prince Severin—the commanding general and staunch supporter of his brother the crown prince—is cursed to look like a beast until a maiden falls … maiden falls in love with him. He has given up all hope of shattering the curse, and has only disdain for Elle.
Unfortunately, the pair can’t seem to avoid each other thanks to the meddling of the chateau’s cursed servants. Eventually Elle’s playful manners and Severin’s hidden gentleness draw the pair together.
But not all love stories can end that easily. After all, Elle is not what she seems, and Severin’s life is placed in danger when hostilities flare between his brother and the monarchs of a neighboring country. When Elle risks everything to save Severin, will he be able to forgive her for her lies?

This is a wonderful author who breathes life into her spunky heroines and does a masterful retelling of fairytales in fresh ways that is totally satisfying to read. She keeps you hooked to the last page!
I loved this book
I loved this book and couldn’t put it down!
The story built up well with a bit of untold and a bit of obvious. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because my daughter grew up on the original Belle and there is no story that can beat out the original story of beauty and the beast, but this is a very well written story without a doubt.
Loved it loved the characters and with just a twist I was not expecting thank you
Beautiful tale with a unique twist!
I did not figure out who she really was until late in the game. I did know who she was but not the circumstances surrounding why she was where she was….
A different take on a classic fairy tale with some mystery as to who Elle really is.
I enjoyed this retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It had an interesting spin, but stayed true to the story. It had a nice conclusion without being overly cheesy.
I really liked the different twist on the classic “Beauty and the Beast” tale. There was a plot twist towards the end that I didn’t care for, but the hero redeemed himself and “rescued” his lady love.
Made me want to read all the other books in the series.
An interesting twist on my favorite fairy tail. I loved it!
