Sweet Briar: A Dark Fantasy Romance Sleeping Beauty Retelling by Joline Pearce

She is definitely more of a Briar than and Rose and I am here for it. This is a Sleeping Beauty retelling but with a spitfire of an FMC for she is no timid damsel, she will have what she desirers no matter what someone might tell her. Killian is our grump knight on this quest with the Princess and as per usual we all know who really does all the heavy lifting. All he longs for is a place to call his own and be a man for himself and not under the thumb of someone else. The prince Alistair needs a good smack in the back of the head a few times to bring him back to reality. This trio has some action packed moments with the monster that seem to follow them. You need to read this morally grey, untamed, action packed and spiced filled book.
