The Bride

A friend gave me her tablet to read this, if I didn't have a wedding to go to I would have finished it that same day.The unique twist is so different it took me a while to figure out it was beauty and the beast. Amazing read, I don't know why I don't have my own copy.

In a media culture saturated with remakes and retellings, its nice to see there are still some people who can make an old story like Beauty And The Beast feel new and fresh.I loved The Bride, and I can't wait to see more from Kacie Taylor.

The very first paragraph had me wondering what would happen next, and the tenseness never let up. A definite must-read for all fans of fairy tales and retellings!(I received a free [...]

A good readI really got into this book right away. I liked how this book kind of reminds you of the story Beauty and the Beast, but it tells it in a way that keeps for reading till the very end.

Very interesting take on Beauty and the Beast!
