This is a decent retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The spice was moderate and enjoyable, but the romance was a bit forced to me? Mostly in that I felt it was told rather than shown and the pacing was a bit off. Speaking of pacing, it is a short book but somehow feels slow, with some plot threads that aren't the strongest.
