review 1: I felt like I should like Skye more than I did - I loved how she wasn't afraid to take initiative and how committed she was to her causes. She certainly wasn't a wilting wallflower, but nor did she often veer into TSTL territory. I think what I'm actually missing is seeing her more from Hawk's perspective. We do get a little insight into his feelings on having her show up and basically invite herself to stay, but I never felt like I had a strong connection with him. Maybe that's because I'm starting with the third book in the series and I've missed out on some of his characterization in previous books? I'm not sure. I also felt like this was a weak adaptation of the Beauty & the Beast fairy tale. It felt more like the heroine was forcing aspects of her life to be seen as i... morenterpretations of the classic, rather than those things naturally occurring and having the reader make the connection on their own. It was well-written and entertaining though so I will likely add the rest of the series to my ever-growing and unwieldy TBR list!
review 2: Once again we travel into the land of legendary lovers, this time it was Beauty and the Beast. While I can see how exciting to a young girl to want to find her life mate by imitating a fairy tale, I didn't see much of a resemblance between the two stories. Sure Hawk is reclusive and scarred but the scars were only visible on his hands so I guess the title of Beast was due to his grumbling all the time. Skye was a beauty, but she was also free-spirited and prone to pulling Hawk out of his bad moods. There were a few things I didn't understand in the book, one being why Hawk would go to London and leave a group of people in his home to do whatever they want. And why would you want to stay in the man's house that you love while he's hell bent on courting someone else? No thank you. The author is still repeating parts of the story over and over again, but she has only used the word 'brazen' a couple times instead of the many times she did in the last book. Wondering who is next to fall in this series, Kate or Quinn? Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. less
