I really enjoyed reading this book and loved the storyline. - Sleeping Beauty retelling

I love the FMC's character and her personality. I think that she had great chemistry with the MMC and was so glad this was their love story. I think that Malik is my favorite character of this series. He is broody. He is calculated. And he will make sure he has every single painting that the FMC paints to himself. I love that he has made the FMC feel like he hated her for the greater good, but deep down he is so in love with her. 

The scene where she tricked him and ran past him into his bedroom only to find it wall to wall with her paintings was so great! It solidified her feelings for him knowing that he reciprocated those feelings.

I was not expecting the leader of the dragons to be Lord Griffith. I also was not expecting Malik to pretend to be the leader for the dragons in order to lure the real leader out. But the way the author wrote it, I really thought Malik was the leader of the dragons for a few pages. Well done.
