What if Belle never returned to the enchanted castle?
If you’re a fan of magical retellings with humor, heart, and just the right amount of spice, A Thorn in Every Heart is an absolute treat. As a Beauty and the Beast lover, I couldn’t resist this imaginative twist on the classic tale—and it more than delivered.
Oh my God, I’m kissing a fairytale.
The story follows Alix, a struggling violinist nursing a broken heart, and Daemon, a beastly man on a mission after 90 years in magical prison. Their worlds collide (literally) after a one-night stand that lands Alix in a cursed kingdom she never meant to find—especially since Daemon thinks she’s someone else entirely.
From the prologue to the final page, this book was pure entertainment. The magic, the banter, the chemistry—everything worked for me. It’s fast-paced, witty, and brimming with charm.
