Oh boy! Oh boy! What a book!😍
This was everything I could ever ask from a book loosely based on Beauty and the Beast! It was beautiful and proves that "Beauty come from what lies inside than what lies outside"

Some extracts that made me fall for this book: (spoilers ahead!)



“You find me ugly, don’t you?”
“Hideous,” he said.  “A hag of a woman.”
“And you,” he said.  “You don’t think me a handsome man?”
“Had you crawled out from under my bed when I was a child, I would have bludgeoned you to death with my father’s mace.”

"Thank you for not lying about what you thought of my appearance.  You might have a face to turn my hair white, but your honesty is handsome.”

He’d kill whoever had tried to hurt his wife, split his skull the way he he’d done with the Beladine raider who attacked her.  She was ugly; she was beautiful, and she was his.  “My Ildiko,” he whispered.
