A review by bookpagesanddogpaws
A Curse of Shadows and Ice by Catharina Maura, C.A. Maura

5.0

This is one of the best forced marriage tropes I have ever read. It has great sexual tension but when he promises he will not force her to sleep with him for once a MMC keeps his promise.

What made this book stand out was right beside the sexual tension he really worked to build an interpersonal relationship not just based on sex or his personal needs (breaking the curse). It felt genuine.

This is also one of the best Beauty and the Beast reimaginings. I want to spend more time with couple so I cannot wait to read Raphael and Elaine's story.
