Entreat Me by Grace Draven
4.0
Likes:
+ 'Beauty and the beast' is one of my favorite fairy tales. Grace Draven did a great retelling, changing enough to keep it interesting, but keeping all the important pieces.
+ Louvaen is a widow. She loved her first husband and has fond memories of him. It was so refreshing. The cliche of a bad first marriage and tortured young widow is used too often.
+ Mouthy, headstrong heroine that gives as good (or more) than she gets.
+ Another wonderful love story where love triumphs over physical appearance. [b:Radiance|24473763|Radiance (Wraith Kings, #1)|Grace Draven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1422721500s/24473763.jpg|40780371] was better, but Entreat Me was very good too.
+ Verbal battles.
Upon her return from Monteblanco, she'd thanked him for not bespelling her off the cliff.
"Keep your thanks." he told her. "And an eye on your ale. I'm brewing something that turns shrews into toads."
"While you're at it, brew something that bestows courtesy and swallow a cup or two yourself," she shot back.
Dislikes:
- I wish the world was developed more. We get only bare essentials, enough for the story to progress.
- Second couple (Louvaen's sister) left me cold and uninterested. I feel like they should have engaged me more, since they are important part of the plot/story.
As always I could not stop myself from comparing this book to [b:Radiance|24473763|Radiance (Wraith Kings, #1)|Grace Draven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1422721500s/24473763.jpg|40780371], but this time Entreat Me held it's own. If you like romances that develop story with mouthy heroines , check it out.
