This beauty and the beast retelling was so engaging and entertaining! We start in a dark night where the FMC was tricked by her stepfather into going to meet the MMC to give her in exchange for some debts. Chaos ensues when the FMC finds out but she agrees to the exchange so her mother will not suffer due to the debt. I really enjoyed this book, it went by so quickly and the narrator did a fantastic job in making you feel immersed. I was on the edge of my seat for half of the book wondering where it would go next. Sure, it is a little predictable which is why I docked it one star but the journey was delightful.

Tropes: Arranged marriage, rivals to lovers, and forced proximity.

Thank you NetGalley, Gina Conkle, and Dreamscape Select for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
