"All the feels!"


Cursed to be a dragon until he pays for his father's mistakes, Prince Erik knows there is no redemption for the sins of his ancestors. That is until he meets, Beth, a server girl at the Inn, close to his hideout. Something changes inside of him when he sees her for the first time. Even the dragon that dwells inside of him is intrigued, but there love cannot be.

Beth has been hiding who she is, a sorceress, for years. The king has taken her entire family away from her with his orders to exile anyone with magical abilities, but everything changes when a mysterious man comes into her Inn one night, and her magic suddenly flares to life.

Hello! It's fun to have you here, and I can't wait to share with you the stories I've written. (I think that's my favorite part about being an author is gushing over the books I write with other people!)

With that being said, not only am I an author, but a homeschool mom to four beautiful children, and married to the man who inspires most of the swoony scenes you'll read (insert sigh); which goes to say that I'm happily married and he's the best thing that's happened to me.

Along with writing books, I love art (hence my children's books), photography, trying to new recipes, and going on adventures! (Cruises, hikes, strawberry patches, Disney...you name it! We just recently went to Universal Studios (Harry Potter World) and LOVED it!

I love getting out and exploring the beautiful earth my Heavenly Father has created for me and hope to explore Europe one day. (Gotta see those castles for inspiration ;)

I initially thought this book might have been translated from Chinese or that it was written by a pre-teen. I'm astonished to find out that it's written by an adult. This book is riddled with errors. The author constantly uses the wrong word; "sat vs set", "there vs their". She places punctuation in the middle of words. Eg: "I didn't know what to do with I't but I didn't want to reject his gift."

I totally get that typos happen. Using the incorrect word happens But when it happens over and over and over... that's from lack of editing, and there is no excuse for that.

It's entirely possible that this author has good ideas. But I was thrown out of the story so frequently while trying to figure out what word she "meant" to use that the story became laborious and irritating to read.

I typically donate unwanted books to charity, but this one is going straight in the book recycle bin.

13-year-old me would have thought this was amazing. This isn't a tween or YA book, so an adult fantasy novel is rather dull, predictable, and too happy-go-lucky for my taste.

This story will appeal to anyone looking for a hallmark style romance book. There is no danger, very little violence, no intimate scenes, and so swearing.

The worst part is the A.I. narration. This was awful. No inflection where it was needed. No real emotion in telling the story. There are no different voices for characters. Please keep real narrator!!!!

It was good. The relationship goes from 'I'm nervous around you to kissing' way too fast for me. However it is a good story and has a happy ending.

The author did an awesome of creating and introducing Beth and Erik - I fell into their POVs and did not come out until Erik ended his curse. Such a romantic way to re-image Beauty and the Beast!
