I received this book from the publisher via Netgalley. I have read and enjoyed the previous books in the series and this was no exception. The book was well written and the characters were realistic. The extracts at the beginning of each chapter made this more than a typical historical romance. I will definitely read the rest of this series

I was chomping at a bit to read this one and I wasn’t disappointed.

Ms. Hoyt is one of those authors that thrives on telling a good story with a fairy tale hints in them. This one is a perfect “Beauty and the Beast” retelling.

Are you with me on the #’s? This is #7 Maiden Lane series and one of my favorites, and the reason for it is the hero, Artemis’s brother, Apollo.

What an awesome character!

I loved the fact that he was described as someone that is not attractive to look at, yet he displayed a gentle and compassionate soul. And the heroine added such a wonderful contrast to him. A gorgeous beauty with an intuitive mind and a talented actress who is a single mother, making the best of little she has.

Together they make for an interesting, sweet and captivating couple whose individual tales are filled with heartache and triumph.

Highly recommending it and the series.
