A magnificent re-imagining of the old Fairytale. Belle has been able to escape from her living conditions twice, once on her own and again with her daughter. Although she has escaped, she is almost caught. But they are saved by a handsome stranger; one who is as much a stranger to himself as to her. He shows both of them kindness and swears to protect them. While escaping terrible danger from both their enemies he makes a fantastic discovery. But even that can’t keep them safe from the evil that seeks all three of them. We once again meet old friends and together they fight as never before to save them all. We have blood and guts, glory and failures and most of all trust, and finally, love. Once I started this book I didn’t want to put it down till it was finished, but the land of sleep insisted I visit, so I had to put it down till the following day. What a marvelous wonderful ending. If you don’t believe me grab this fascinating tale and see for yourself.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I have bought my own copy of this book and most of this series!
The cover is beautiful and has a hint of being magical!
This is the 5th book in the series, but there are also 2 novellas. This is for adults only due to the violence, kidnapping, torture, and steamy content. While it is not mandatory to read the stories in order, it does add something to each book if you know the characters because you learn to love them all!
I couldn’t put this book down. I love Belle and Chloe. I love how protective and loving Belle is to her daughter. It is something that seems to be more rare in the real world where a parent puts their children’s safety and security first. It resonated with me as a single parent. I love this world full of different kinds of magic, prophecies, love, shifters, dragons, fae, vampires, humans, daemons, and more that make this world exciting and make me want to keep visiting it. I also want to see Morgana go down for everything she has done and see Fairelle united and happy. I loved watching Belle and Dax grow together and fall in love! I can’t wait to see what happens as Chloe grows up! The possibilities keep rolling around in my head! I love this world and can’t wait to read more!
I highly recommend to any paranormal fans who love exciting worlds packed with adventure, danger, and love!
Belle and the Beast by Rebekah R. Ganiere is book five in her Fairelle series and a wonderful addition. This story brings the reader back to familiar characters and brings them all together in a unique story that is a real page-turner. Belle has lived a life of abuse at the hands of Klaus and finally, enough is enough. After a nasty fight, Belle takes the opportunity to run, but Klaus views her and her daughter Chloe as his property and he’s not going to give them up easily. By chance, she crosses paths with Dax while on the run, and he gives her shelter. Dax has yet to discover the truth about himself. On one hand, he’s determined to find out, but on the other he’s hesitant. What will happen when he learns the truth about who he is? The one who hunts him, will not go quietly and now she knows where he is.
Belle and the Beast is Rebekah R. Ganiere’s twist on the classic fairytale of Beauty and the Beast. The characters are engaging and pull the reader in from the beginning. Belle, while fearful is still a strong character and determined to protect Chloe no matter what. Dax is still struggling to access his memories, but Chloe might be the bump that he needs. The romance, while it happens quickly time-wise, it also acts like a slow-burn between the characters. I like this because I don’t get the feeling that they are rushing into things too much. The author gives the feeling that more time has passed than it actually has. This story has multiple layers for the reader to delve through and for me, it makes this book hard to put down.
There isn’t really anything that I don’t like about this book. I want to be annoyed with Belle for wanting to hide Chloe and her abilities away, but I understand it. I appreciate how the author adds a nice layer of suspense and mystery to this story. You know the danger is there, but you are constantly guessing as to where it is coming from and when it will strike. I love it.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This story is enjoyable from start to finish. The characters are well done, the storyline is engaging, and the amount of romance and danger is wonderful. I loved being reunited with so many familiar characters and seeing them all come together. If you’ve read the previous books in this series then I recommend that you grab this one and dive in. You won’t be disappointed.
I love this book as I have all the other books in this series. Belle and the Beast is based on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast and tells the story of a strong heroine. It is a story that contains paranormal creatures, along with danger, action, and romance. This story is regarding Dax and finding the memories that have been lost to him. As the others stories in the series, it is regarding the fulfillment of another Fairelle prophecy. This story contains many of our favorite characters from the previous stories and is nothing like the original fairy tale, it has interesting twists and kept me reading well into the night. Purchase this book as you won’t regret it. This is another excellent story by Rebekah R Ganiere!
I love beauty and the Beast and always have. This is an amazing retelling of that story. Belle is finally leaving the abusive Klaus, and she takes her daughter Chloe with her. On the way they run into trouble and are rescued by Dax. He has been trying to find his way back to his memories and his old life, but things always seem just out of reach. I just adore Chloe and the way she interacts with the world around her. This may just be my favorite version of this fairy tale!
This beautiful twisted fairy tale is fabulous. You have a woman who will do anything for her most precious possession. Dax a man with no memories. the ones he has are filled with horror at the castle. He and the woman cross paths. Will they be able to help each other? Will the evil that pursues them triumph? Once you pick up this awesome book you’ll never put it down until you’re done!
Rebekah Ganiere outshines herself once again in another tale from Fairelle. This book comes from the fairytale of Beauty and the Beast with Rebekah’s personal spin. As we know by now, Dax has no memories of his past until recently and only in patches. Belle and Chloe finally get away from Klaus only to end up outside Dax’s castle. Dax has also kept the dragon Cinder made from one of her challenges. We know he has a link to the dragon’s Morgana controls as well. He saves Belle and Chloe from Klaus and his friends, but is shot in the process. Belle and Chloe stay with him in the castle and Chloe gives more predictions about their future.
Klaus seeks out Morgana for help in retrieving what he believes it his – Chloe. Chloe finds a secret room in the castle that will lead Dax back to his homeland and the people who misses and loves him. Morgana attacks the castle and they escape through the mirror to his homeland. As time goes by, Dax and Belle are starting to fall in love. As the feel the pressure mounting in anticipation of an attack led by Morgana, all the others come running to help them combat her and her army. Klaus made a huge mistake in letting Morgana know about Chloe – now she wants her and Dax both at any cost. Take a journey through Fairelle for the story of Dax, Belle and Chloe. Many new secrets will come forth to help solve the newest prophecy and see it fulfilled. This story seems to have been a little sweeter than the rest and is my favorite thus far! I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I received this book for free and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Amazing twist on beauty and the beast! Dax is a Werebear who can’t remember his past. Belle is running from her abusive ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter Chloe. While trying to escape from her ex Belle runs into Dax who takes her back to an abandoned castle that he’s staying at. In the process of learning more about each other there hiding spot is found and they end up fleeing through one of the magical mirrors to what they find out is Dax’s home. All in all this is an amazing story and retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!! I’m hooked and can’t wait to see how all the characters grow.
This is a fantastic read. It has great action and suspense. The story is great with great characters you love. I didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait for the next one. Must read! I love this twist of Beauty and the Beast.
I received a free ARC copy of this book and I am giving my honest review.
The best book of the series to me! It ties up a lot of the series mysteries. I was ecstatic for Belle to finally have a happily ever after and enjoy all the love shown in this book with all the “families”.
Book five in the Fairelle series, I would advise these books be read in order. This is a well written story that I was not putting down until I had finished reading. There is suspense, drama, danger, evil, and romance. Belle runs with her daughter Chloe from her abusive boyfriend Klaus and meets Werebear Dax, he is looking for his lost memory. They flee through a magic mirror and Dax finds his home. There will be revolutions revealed about Chloe being the Oracle of their time. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
Long-Awaited Dax’s Story!!
Belle must take her gifted child Chloe away from her fiancé’s evil influence. Dax is searching the remote castle for answers to his past, when he must intervene and assist Belle’s escape. Chloe is able to provide a few clues to his past, which is difficult to deal with. Belle is slow to trust and worries for her daughter.
Love these characters and adore the growing relationship.
Our cast of characters from prior Fairelle books all gather to fight the threat from Morgana. This is the book we were waiting for and it does not disappoint!! Excellent story within this terrific series!
