Maybe I was the girl Clara didn’t want me to be. Here I was, with the goblin king, and I didn’t want him to stop.For the past ten years, the Goblin King has stayed locked away in his caverns. He only opens his doors for one purpose: he will give one gold coin for every night a girl is willing to spend with him. Despite his fearsome reputation, his fangs and claws, the girls come back safe and … back safe and sound, and they never say a word about it. One must be very desperate to accept such an offer…or very curious. Well, everyone says curiosity has always been my downfall. Too clever for a girl so beautiful.
Now my family is on the brink of losing everything. My sister Clara knows the goblin king’s story has always intrigued me, and she’s willing to sacrifice me to get her hands on his money. But I finally have the chance to sate my curiosity.
What will I find when I get there? A man who is cruelly cursed, haunted by a past misdeed? Or the man who will unlock all of my secret desires?
It has been a long time since the Goblin King trusted anyone, but if he is willing to trust me, I might be able to save him and his people. But the witch who cursed him is close at hand, and she doesn’t play fair.
Beauty and the Goblin King is a fairy tale retelling for those who like an adorable happily ever after with a side of serious steaminess!

A twist on an old fairy tale. Beauty and the beast take 35 with lots of steamy scenes with an goblin who quickly becomes the center of her universe. The plot is predictable, the characters are well defined but shallow, and the writing is good. Fun, romping read.
Cute story but on the short side so left out details. Good characters, okay world building, romance, some action, magic and mystery.
Very similar to the beauty and the beast. Almost 2 similar
I love all miss foxgloves work never been disappointed by any of her books yet read one and your addicted
a little too much sex.
I Didn’t Know What To Expect But I Loved It:
I had not read this authors works before so I was a little leery. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this story which intimacy was extremely passionately detailed. A well written intelligent fun but dark story all at the same time.
Loved the characters and the goblins.
The plot was great and the funeral scene very heartfelt.
Lots of emotions came through during the story that all came to a happy ending.
I can’t wait the read another one of her books. A free book was offered at the end of this book. So off I go to another story about The Goblin Cinderella.
Mature reader.
Heat rating very high.
I really enjoyed this retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It stayed very true to the original version, but with the twist that the beast is a goblin, and naturally “ugly” to humans. The curse he is under is also a little different in interesting ways, since he is forced to bed any woman who seeks shelter in his underground castle. This story holds no punches, but is a heartfelt rendition of the classic tale. I recommend it for any Beauty and the Beast fans looking for something a little different.
What a great retelling of a fairy tale about Beauty and the Beast.
Fresh and enchanting, who would have guessed that goblins could be so charming in the end. The beauty is so much more than meets the eye, she is curious and courageous. Definitely worth a read!
This was a great KU retelling of Beauty and the Beast! This isn’t clean, but if you like Christina Rosetti or Clare Dunkle this story reminds me a little of their goblins! I will be reading more in this series!
Omg so good I love all of Lidiya Foxgloves books!
This book was amazing! The retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast often lose sight of the focus. Beauty aka Sabela is interesting. She desires forbidden things, she is curious about anything and everything and her scene in the library of the Goblin king’s palace is reminiscent of childhood cartoons and a love of learning.
Of course, that is where the comparison ends because this is book 1 of the fairy tale HEAT series. If one does not know what that means let me share. The goblin king gives a gold coin per night with a girl. They have sex. This story tells all. No blanking out the scene, no inference, straight to the point talk. It’s steamy, sexy and makes you want your own goblin king.
N’yar is a tormented soul. The few chapters from his point of view actually give you a deep look into his way of thinking. It’s easy to say his thought process was all wrong but when you glance inside his head you see how ten years wear you down.
SPOILER
One of my favorite things about this though was that N’yar was actually a goblin. He doesn’t turn into a fae prince at the end. When the curse was broken he was allowed to be his goblin self forever. The only downfall to most beauty and the beast stories is that he turns handsome in the end. It seems to imply that beauty is actually as important as whats inside. This story has a maiden fall in love with a goblin, she even rejects the fae prince for the more horrifying goblin because she loves N’yar the way he is. Completely beautiful.
