Entwined Tales #4
A Beautiful Curse
Follow your heart…But you might just end up snacking on flies.When a bumbling fairy godfather gifts a humble woodcutter’s fourth child with extraordinary beauty, she spends the next eighteen years trying to hide it—behind a book. Now, Elisette is ready to follow her dreams and become a scholar, but her admirers keep getting in the way of her ambitions.Ellie knows better than to rely on her fairy godfather, but she’s desperate enough to risk asking him for help. The trouble is, Mortimer isn’t feeling very helpful. In fact, he’s downright irritated…After a bit of vengeful fairy magic, Ellie discovers that webbed feet and green skin are even harder to manage than beauty. No one cares what happens to a frog, except maybe quiet, unassuming Prince Cambren, who has enough troubles of his own.Will Ellie find a way to break her curse and live happily ever after? Or will she spend the rest of her life eating flies and living in a pond at the back of the palace garden?A Beautiful Curse is a romantic fairy tale novella. It can be read on its own, but is more fun when read as a part of the Entwined Tales, a series of interconnected fairy tales by six different authors. Each story follows the adventures of one of seven children from the same family as they seek out their own happily ever afters in spite of their reluctant fairy-godfather.

Another just meh one. In all honesty I probably should have DNFed it, but I was in the mood to finish it so I did, haha.
Ellie was frankly an annoying character who really didn’t treat the people around her very well—she wasn’t ever outright mean but her thoughts sure were and I never warmed up to her. Honestly she was better as a talking frog, lol. The prince was nice (I forgot his name, oops) and easily the most likable of our two leads, but I never got attached to him either.
Then there was the whole plot line of “she’s a woman trying to work in a man’s world” which can be done really well, but this wasn’t and since I didn’t like Ellie from the start it came off as just very annoying and is the main reason I would have dropped the book if she hadn’t become a frog.
At least it was wrapped up without any loose ends like this author tends to end her books/series, so that was nice, but overall it was just there.

Quite a fun novella that explores the curse of fairy-endowed beauty. As a retelling of the Princess and the Frog, I liked it. Of all the Entwined Tales I've read so far, however, I think I will forget this one the fastest. It gives the main couple more development-which I loved- but also lacked the overarching adventure narrative.
And also the heroine annoyed me. I would prefer to follow the adventures of her twin.

This was just funny. I think I laughed out loud a couple times:} Eli was just not a character I liked much. I am glad she learns her lesson and gets to fall in love with theeeee Perfect man:} Davidson sure knows how to write a leading man! This one was just so cute!

A Beautiful Curse will speak to your soul. It is is full of beauty and emotion! Faerie tale lovers rejoice, for this one sparkles with love, laughter, and life lessons!
I've probably said this with each book in this series, but each one has gotten better and better, and I now have a new favorite! I loved this one so much! I smiled, I laughed, and I teared up at the end.
This one was so incredibly beautiful! I loved how it fit seamlessly with the rest of the books in the series, but I also loved how it stood out for me. This one really spoke to me on so many levels.
On the surface, it was a humorous retelling of an old German folk tale, that is similar to a couple other tales. It was fun and sweet and entertaining. Digging deeper, this one spoke of self love. It offered life lessons on being careful what you wish for, not judging a book by its cover, the importance of true friendship, and the mantra "looks aren't everything." It was a stunningly deep story that also introduced me to my two new favorite characters.
Elisette, or Ellie, was such a strong, independent young woman. She was witty and intelligent, and very adventurous! She was kind, and daring, and wasn't afraid to go after her dreams.
Cambren was my favorite prince out of the three from the story. He was exceptionally compassionate and loyal. I loved that he was willing to sacrifice for the sake of friendship and that he wasn't a typical, perfect prince.
I also really loved the King in this one! He was extremely wise and very thought provoking. I enjoyed his reasoning behind the tests he put his sons through, and I found him to be very understanding and caring, both to his sons, and his kingdom!
A Beautiful Cruse was vividly colorful and had such dimension and depth! I could not put it down! It was charming and snarky, and insanely enjoyable! It felt both familiar and original at the same time!

Last read of 2024! And it was a pretty good read to end the year on- not my favorite of the year, but I don't expect a novella to top The Genesis Tree or Romanov or To Steal the Sun. XP But I honestly loved it! It was a sweet little romance, and I honestly loved Ellie. Who wouldn't, with that name?XP(*waits for you to glance at my username and back*) And honestly, in some ways, she was me... books. That's my reasoning. Books. This is the second book I've read in a month with a main character named Ellie who's a bookworm. Which is totally accurate. XP Aaaaanyway, I really enjoyed the main storyline. I liked the oldest brother at first, but as the story went on, I liked him less and less. Overall, I honestly really enjoyed this book. It was sweet and I loved the heroine. And of course Mortimer made the decisions he made. But it's Mortimer- what else do we expect?😂 Definitely another great entry in the series!

Adorable!
This is a lighthearted, sweet, and humorous retelling if princess and the frog. Ellisette was “blessed” by her grumpy fairy godfather with indescribable beauty. But this garners her attention she doesn’t want or like.
When her flocks of admirers threaten to ruin her fondest dream of working at a quiet library, she calls Mortimer to change her into a hag. Instead, he curses her to be a frog until she learns gratitude.
A handsome, kind, HILARIOUS, and witty prince quickly becomes her best friend, and the rest is history.
If you’re looking for something that will make you smile and give you happy feelings, this is the love story for you.

This one was one of my favorites out of the series. I like the friendship that Ellie and the prince formed.
Romance: CLEAN. No cursing or explicit scenes.

Once again, Kenley Davidson delights me.
I wasn't expecting the type of story I got with this one. It follows Ellisette, who just wants to be a scholar and read books and know things. Her problem? She's drop-dead stunningly gorgeous. Thanks to her no-good fairy godfather Mortimer. She gets all the wrong kind of attention and despairs that anyone will actually like her for her because they can't see past her face. And how would she know if they did?
Enter sweet cinnamon roll prince cambren, who due to his slightly twisted leg, and status as the odd third prince who would rather spend his time with horses and books, also feels nobody would look at him twice for friendship let alone romance.
cue incessant giggle-cackles.
This creative and entertaining retelling of the Frog Prince, was delightful. Kenley does delightful sooo well! The two protagonists had defined traits, flaws, and characters that made me latch on without even having to try. Seeing how said flaws and characteristics melded together? What fun!
So, if you're looking for a sweet retelling with a lot of heart, and two people who just needed each other to be seen truly, this here is the book for you. As per all my favorites, it's not JUST about the love story, but about two people who changed because they found each other and made each other better.
Also, Cam's brothers need their own books. I need to know what happens with one of them in particular *cough* Dauntry *cough*.
Content: Some kissing. Not much, and very clean and not graphic. No violence (unless flinging frogs counts) Because Ellie has her beauty curse going on, there is a lot of male attention on her, and bullying when she either rejects them or proves herself competent. It was frustrating. I know that may trigger some readers.

( I received a digital copy of the book. Thanks to Kenley Davidson!!! )
“My brother Dauntry believes in the greater good, and sacrificing himself for his kingdom, and I suppose that’s all very well, but it doesn’t do much for me. My mother always said you had to see people one at a time, or you would begin to treat them as a herd, rather like sheep, and forget how important and beautiful each one really is. Whether a person is a prince, or a merchant, or a librarian, or a frog, they deserve their sovereign’s compassion, wouldn’t you agree?”
This is a beautiful retelling of one of my most beloved tales. The Frog Prince. I totally adore this version of the story which was simple and sweet. It made for amazing short read with just 150 pages and I had finished reading it even before I realised. It almost felt like I'd just started reading , so absorbed was I.
It wasn’t enough to simply disapprove of injustice. You had to do something.
I like Eli. She's got this spirit and is really good. And Cam is really adorable and sweet .
The grumpy godfather who causes more trouble than help is a good change to the normal trends and just adds to the appeal. Thankfully, in the end all his perks none the less work out for our hero . Truly this is an amazing tale that I'd recommend to all fairy tale lovers .

A fresh and fun read. This is the first book I’ve read in the series, and although there were allusions to other characters, it worked great as a stand-alone. Significantly shorter than what I was expecting, but that’s not a bad thing.
Content:
Language: None.
Violence: None.
Sensuality: None/Mild. The prince carries a certain frog under his shirt for a short length of time. One guy swims around shirtless in Elisette’s pond.

I remember reading the original fairy tale years ago but forgot the name of it. This is the first retelling I've ever come across, and I really liked it! Elisette and Cambren being best friends before being interested in each other romantically was great, especially as most books in this series have been instalove.

This is a new to me author in this multi author series of Entwined tales. I liked her characters and the way she developed them in this fairytale retelling. There were some really small things that I might have changed but I would really like to try another book by this author. She might be another one I really enjoy.

August 28, 2018This book just feels like a feminist rant. Maybe not an angry feminist, but at least a seriously irritated feminist, and it's just not fun. And since fun, fluffy reading was the only reason I was reading this book: meh, I'm moving on.

The best frog/prince story written. Looks vs character is not a challenge when true character is what looks best. ...but I think it takes exceptional characters to see it.

A beautiful mashup of Frog Prince and... The White Cat? I'm not remembering the name for certain. But it's a very sweet, very clean romance. I recommend for ages 17 and up.

This was my first book by Kenley Davidson and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this was by far my favorite installment in the Entwined Series, both because The Frog Prince is one of my favorite fairy tales and due to Kenley Davidson’s wonderful writing and storytelling.
A Beautiful Curse was such a lovely story. While I wasn’t particularly fond of our abrasive, snarky heroine Elisette, I really related to her love of learning and books, sympathized with her struggles with her beauty as well as her desires to be loved for who she is as a person, and admired her determination to go after her dreams. Prince Cambren was so adorable and made a wonderful hero. He had the most compassionate, sweet, and loyal personality, and I particularly loved how he was an unconventional prince. He has so much heart and really sees Elisette for who she is as a person, even before he befriends her during her adventures as a frog.
The plot was layered and thoroughly entertaining. From Elisette’s desires to become a librarian, the development of first her friendship with Cambrine and then their romance, her adventures after she’s turned into a frog, the secondary plot of the King testing his sons in order to find the ruler best suited for his people, and all the morals learned throughout the journey. Despite it being a novella, A Beautiful Curse was sweet, well-developed, and was thoroughly charming and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Kenley Davidson.

I thought this was a sweet twist on the Frog Prince story. I really enjoyed that the romance between the characters really had a chance to grow and develop before they were declaring their undying love got each other. This is a cool PG on a steaminess level. Truly great for any age.
As a fellow logophile I loved the vocabulary that had me looking up new words and smiling at one I already knew!
The only pet peeve I had while reading occurred with switching between calling her Ellie or Elisette sometimes on the same page. Yes, let's get on the same page and just go with one name! Okay, rant over. Enjoy the book.

It's a novella, so the first caveat must be that 5 stars for a novella is not quite the same as 5 stars for a novel. Nonetheless, this is definitely a fantastic story, and a lovely twist on the princess and the frog tale. I love the banter between Elisette and Cam when Elisette was a frog; that's the part I enjoyed most and what catapulted the novella into 5 star territory for me.

Sweet
The fantasy retelling was sweet. The heroine works hard. The royal challenges were unpredictable. The Prince and the heroine become good friends that leads to more.
A thought provoking story about appearances and friendship.

I was pleasantly surprised. I think I read this one almost as fast if not faster than Goose girl which was my favorite of the series. To be honest I didn't think any of hte other stories would really come close but this one did.
First the characters. well character. I connected with Elisette right away. Honestly I rarely truly connect to a character but I could feel her pain in the beginning. Sound issues aside, I liked the fact she works in the library and loves to read. Yes I feel and affinity with bookish characters but not all the time and half the time they get on my nerves just as much as a MC who's not a bookworm. Sometimes it like the book is a prop and is only there because the people reading the books like books themselves and therefore must love a character who is all about books. Yes there's a greater chance i'll like a character if they're a reader but that's not the only trait I look at when reading about a character. If I hate everything else about him/her the books won't save them. Overall I liked Elisette. The beauty thing was interesting I've seen it done this way before but I'm glad Elisette was more than just hating her beauty. She worked hard and didn't give up even with all of the prejudice she was facing in the library.
Cam was a interesting prince. I liked that he was a reader as well and that he enjoyed other hobbies and interests like horses. Not to mention he had a credible reason for liking them as well. I'l all about the horses myself, but I'm well aware of the fact I'm not really a horse person. I enjoy going on trail rides, but I don't think I'd bee the person hanging out in the stable with them taking care of their needs and everything all that entails. So as opposed to Cam's true loving of horses, my feelings are more oaf a shallow insta-love thing. Anyway I liked him and his Brothers.
Overall I enjoyed the story the characters were dynamic and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed their interactions with each other. I think there are two fairy tale bases in this one the frog prince and the white cat/the castle of cats, other variations are there and I'm pretty sure I've found the frog version, but I'm most familiar with the cats. Once I started reading I didn't want to put it down and I was surprised by how quickly I was getting through it. It was a wonderful addition to the series and I highly recommend reading it.
Recommended? Yes
Buy/Borrow? I'd buy this one
So in the standing order of my favorite book to least favorite. I'd say this one is about equal to Goose Girl, in fact I think I liked this one even a little more. So it moves into the first place spot. Bumping Goose Girl to second. ( A surprising upset)

Sweet, magical, sassy, feminist... Basically everything I didn't know I needed in a short fairy tale reworking. The feminism theme can be a tad heavy-handed at the beginning but don't let it put yu off if what you're after is a cute, slightly silly story of friendship that's all kinds of warm and fuzzy.
Now this is technically part of a series, and it does suffer a little from it in that it in no way explains the whole children-of-woodcutters-gaining-a-fairy-godfather-(who-just-happens-to-be-an-ass) situation. I tried reading the first book of the series and that too gave no explanation, so... Yeah, that would have been nice. Some kind of generic "Once upon a time there was..." setting the scene prologue that's in each tale just to get us up to speed. So basically: Seven siblings have gained a fairy godfather named Mortimer who is pretty useless and hates his godchildren, meaning his attempts at blessing them tends to backfire. They're not best please, and he doesn't care for their ingratitude. Knowing this, simply put, would have increased my enjoyment of the story immensely.
But the story itself shines none the less. We follow Ellisette, blessed/cursed with immense beauty, as she tries to prove her worth as an academic. Naturally, in a backwards kingdom, no one takes a female scholar seriously, and even the one woman who's made it is keen to pull up the ladder behind her. Urgh, right ladies? Beset by oggling menfolk ruining her chances, Eli wishes she weren't so beautiful. Enter Mortimer, angry fairy godfather who's happy to bestow a curse to turn her into an ugly frog for her ingratitude. Meanwhile, three princes are competing to prove themselves worthy of inheriting their father's throne. But only Prince Cambren, the youngest, kindest and oddest of them all, finds time to help a poor, little lost froggie...
It's not a romance as such, and for that I absolutely adored it. Being such a short story I wondered if it would feel satisfying, but yes, yes it does. It builds up a believable little fantasy kingdom, throws in a fairy tale logic-based quest or three, and has the cutest frog-prince friendship ever. I loved how despite Eli's weird prickliness (at the beginning she had this weird over-reaction/jumping to conclusions habit that didn't seem quite in-keeping with her the rest of the time), Cambren is the ultimate cinnamon roll of a character who's really not that fussed if he talks to the most beautiful girl in the world or... some random frog.
The relationship between the royal siblings is so wonderfully shown; I only wish there had been more time between Elrick and Cambren to get to know each other better (the second task in particular would have been perfect for a bit of brotherly bonding as they discussed their ideas). I wasn't 100% sold on the idea about Dauntry , but hey, it's a short novella. I can wish it'd had a tiny bit more character fleshing out time to make it a super-perfect swoon-worthy read, but I'm happy with what we got for the page count.
Heads up though: there's a fairly long sampler of another novel at the end of the book, so it's not as long as you think it'll be (though Traitor's Masque is another Kenley Davidson masterpiece of understated fairy tale retold fantasy).
Was it my idea of perfect? Not quite. But did I freakin' adore it anyway? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. If you like an original fairy tale retelling without being full of saccharine romance mush but still with all the sweet and lovely feels, I couldn't recommend this quick read more.
Now this is technically part of a series, and it does suffer a little from it in that it in no way explains the whole children-of-woodcutters-gaining-a-fairy-godfather-(who-just-happens-to-be-an-ass) situation. I tried reading the first book of the series and that too gave no explanation, so... Yeah, that would have been nice. Some kind of generic "Once upon a time there was..." setting the scene prologue that's in each tale just to get us up to speed. So basically: Seven siblings have gained a fairy godfather named Mortimer who is pretty useless and hates his godchildren, meaning his attempts at blessing them tends to backfire. They're not best please, and he doesn't care for their ingratitude. Knowing this, simply put, would have increased my enjoyment of the story immensely.

A Beautiful Curse tells the story of Elisette, the middle child of the fairy godfather-cursed family from the series. When they were born, their bumbling fairy godfather, Mortimer, gave her and her twin brother, Martin, the gift of beauty. Unfortunately, he could not have picked a worse set of twins to grant it to. Martin, who is seen briefly in a A Little Mermaid, hates being beautiful because it causes people to think that he's a girl. Elisette, on the other hand, grows up with absolutely no interest in any of the things a woman with her gift could benefit from. She doesn't care much for fashion, romance, dancing, or courting. Instead, she is a bookworm who wishes to have a career. Her parents' misguided attempts to help her by convincing her to embrace her beauty and find a suitor only frustrate her. So, she applies to be a librarian's apprentice at a famous library in the capital under the name "Eli." Unfortunately, it's not that easy to escape the burden of her beauty. Once she reveals her face to her employers, she is hired with the utmost reluctance as her co-workers regularly sabotage her work in any way they can, hoping to get her fired.
Meanwhile, the three princes of the kingdom are put to the test by their father, the king. Though the youngest son, Cambren, is not mocked as openly as he is in the original fairy tale, he is still considered the oddball of the family. His brothers are especially annoyed with him when they visit the local library to learn if the rumors of the beautiful new apprentice are true, and he has the nerve to ask her to help him find a book! To Elisette's dismay, such a request does turn out to be an uncommon occurrence when she finds that the library quickly becomes crowded with people who want to look at her and have no interest in reading. It gets so bad that she gets put on probation for causing too many distractions for the library's patrons. Elisette can't understand why it's so hard for her to just do her job, especially after all the work she put into it. She begs Mortimer for help but quickly regrets it when she is transformed into a slimy frog right in the middle of the library!
Prince Cambren's oddities come in handy for Elisette when he decides to scoop up the cursed frog and protect it instead of running away screaming like the others. In return, Elisette agrees to help Cambren with his father's tests but refuses to tell him who she really is. She has never known a man to respect her after seeing her face, so she feels that it is best for him to think that she is a talking frog. This doesn't prevent them from getting to know each other on an intellectual level and growing very close. It's touching how protective Cambren is of the frog without even knowing she is a woman, let alone one who helped him find a rare book he had been searching for earlier. The romance in this book was built at a perfect pace and contained the timeless themes of "Beauty and the Beast" that true beauty is found within.
A Beautiful Curse did a fantastic job of conveying the overall theme of the Enchanted Tales series that magical gifts that seem harmless can become curses if they are given to the wrong person. Elisette was by far the strongest and most interesting heroine in all of the books. She had the clearest goals and the most rational plan for attaining them. The romance was done equally well and teaches us that love isn't any easier for conventionally beautiful women than it is for anyone else. If you only read one book from Entwined Tales, make it this one.

"Her fascination with words and books and learning simply didn't make sense to her parents, or anyone else she knew. They expected girls to like dresses and balls and talk of marriage, or to chat endlessly with other girls about what sounded to Elisette like a whole lot of nothing."
Reciting tales of princesses, fairies, and their accompanying talking animals was popular during my childhood. Now, while these stories are not on the forefront of my bookshelf (AKA mind) as much as they previously were, there is still meaning to these wonderful stories of hope and adventure. Just wish a fairy godmother would change my pajamas into beautiful, shimmery scrubs before going to work, but that may just be a trick for the movies.
Anyway, I was excited but a bit wary in choosing to read Davidson's story in 2018, especially as fairy tale retellings frequently tend to be a bit predictable . However, just like any of Davidson's books, she brings an exciting spin to a familiar tale. And, who doesn't remember the classic tale of "The Princess and the Frog" by Disney or The Frog Prince by the Grimm brothers? Having a slimy frog ask for a kiss from a princess has, for some reason, been implemented into my brain.
But, the tables turn in this story as Elisette/Ellie, a young and mean-spirited girl, is transformed into a frog. Promised to have the curse reversed if she could receive a kiss from a friendly male, I initially was in disbelief if Ellie could attract anyone with her self-righteous attitude; yet, everyone has their type, I guess.
In the end, this mystical story Davidson creates is an enjoyable (and too short) vacation. Davidson should receive infinite applause for her immaculate attention to detail and her worldbuilding. Her small details wonderfully create such a stunning picture of Ellie's daily adventures in my tiny, nonexistent brain. Pair that with Davidson's engaging writing style, and the story feels so personal, as if Davidson wrote the story for me.
Now, there are several problematic elements hidden within the good stuff of this fantastical and short novella. Ellie is annoying and extremely rude. She is quick to judge anyone who talks to her about anything. After a while, I assume one can become annoyed with several people questioning your knowledge, but Ellie also turns into a frog...so, her character in the beginning is most likely not the best role model to follow. Also, because someone is questioning you, I advise not to consider harmful language or actions towards this person, particularly as someone may like to learn or be the the kindest person in the book/world.

Reader thoughts: This one was the best in the series. So much so that I promptly went and tried to find other books by the author. I couldn't stomach the first few chapters Traitor's Masque and gave up on that pursuit. Oh, well.
Regardless, this Frog Prince retelling was gorgeous. Yes, yes, the MC is cursed/blessed to be super ridiculously beautiful, but he fell in love with her while she was a frog. They became best friends, and that's the best kind of romance. 2 people trust each other, want to spend time together, and talk nonstop together, what could be better? Oh, right, better that she became human in the end. And it didn't take a kiss! Heh.
Ellie was a librarian/scholar! I have a soft spot for librarian characters. I think my dream job would have been librarian if I hadn't been convinced it was to be an author (or a teacher in the meantime).
I liked that Cam was flawed but kept trying. He didn't know everything and admitted as much. He wasn't always overdoing everything like his poor brother, whom I had a lot of pity on. He was kind and offered her a library.
Ellie and Cam had a sort of chemistry together. When I say that, I'm not talking about the gushiness that some romance authors throw into their stories, with the tingling of the hands or the heart palpitations or the warmth in their guts. No, I don't mean physical attraction (and certainly not lust!). I mean that Cam and Ellie bantered like good friends, and I like that.
Writer thoughts: The author combined an extra retelling in this book by adding the Heir Test to determine which prince should inherit. I'm not sure what retelling to call that since it has taken many forms (I first encountered it as a tale where the king told his three kids to fill the castle with sometime, and the winner gets to inherit; the princess bought candles and filled the castle with light).
It bothers me that I can't find that story online. It must be in an obscure bedtime stories collection my parents had.

Ellie was cursed by her fairy godfather to be beautiful and because of that she hides away in books because she believes people only see her outward beauty but don’t see the real her inside. She accepts an apprenticeship at a library in another kingdom but is met by scorn from her coworkers and her female boss as well because of her looks. In frustration she calls on her fairy godfather to do something about her appearance and in a snit he turns her into a frog. She is rescued by a prince of the kingdom and through his kindness towards her as a frog she finally sees that someone cares about her and not her outward beauty as she is a frog now. They develop a friendship and they both help each other out and that friendship turns to love and her gratitude towards the unselfish prince seeing her as a person breaks the spell and she is transformed back into her human form again. He then sees her as she is because she never told him her name as a frog ( she could speak as a frog in this tale) and she sees he loves her without knowing of her outward beauty but who she is inside.
I enjoyed this fairy tale, one of the Entwined Tales in a
series about six sisters who are cursed to have an inept, cantankerous old fairy godfather who messes up their lives whenever he is around!
I recommend you get not just story but this entire series to enjoy by six different authors telling about one sister and her wanting to have a happy life
doing and experiencing things without interference from their godfather that always creates more headaches than they want.
Rediscover the magic of fairy tales once again by reading and enjoying these stories!

Elisette's gift
Mortimer gifted Elisette and her twin brother with the gift of beauty before they were born. As gifts go it doesn't sound like a bad one but Elisette is too beautiful and the men she meets are awestruck and the women, see her as the enemy as there beau's fall in live with her. Clever and bookish she doesn't enjoy the attention wanting only the freedom to study her beloved books and a way to stop the attention and unwanted proposals.
When her father declares he's accepted an unwanted proposal on her behalf and is going to announce it the next day she leaves her home and family to become an apprentice librarian in another country. She knows that she cannot live her life married to a man who knows her as nothing more than the most beautiful woman, who cannot understand her need to learn and will just want to tout around "his beautiful wife" as a possession.
Settling into her new life is incredibly challenging when she is the first female apprentice and the disturbance she creates as once again she's followed around by awestruck men and struggles to make friends with the jealous women. When her position is threatened she calls on Mortimer to remove her gift but Mortimer is not exactly reliable and he throws her life into a worse position than ever before by removing her beauty and turning her into a frog.
Rescued by Prince Cambran Ellie makes her first real friend.. but can she help him with the tasks his father has set? Can he help her break Mortimer's curse? And will she ever reveal who she really is?

Elisette wants nothing more than to lose herself in the world of books. She dreams of being a librarian. Unfortunately, her joke of a fairy godfather has gifted/cursed her with an otherworldly beauty. But when she finally manages to lose her looks, will she lose everything else she worked so hard for or will she finally find herself and even a friend who truly sees her? This is a retelling of the frog princess and I was provided an ARC by the author in exchange for my honest review, which follows.
Likes: While this story isn't the first to use the idea of an inept fairy godfather who makes things worse, before they get better, I still thought the author did a good job with the concept. I read Davidson's clean romance novels because they are happy and make me smile and this one was no different.
Dislikes: If you are looking for something deep or dramatic, you will need to look elsewhere.
Overall: Davidson is an author I enjoy reading. This retelling is part of the Entwined Tales, which is written by several different authors. If you are looking for something happy and feel good, I would say you couldn't go wrong with Davidson. Also, any of the other authors of the Entwined Tales are worth a look. I have read and like K.M. Shea and in the future will be checking out Shari L. Tapscott, thanks to my enjoyment of her contribution to the Entwined Tales.

Davidson is someone I found shortly before learning about this series coming out. Like literally, I read a few of her books almost a month before. I'm glad I did, but even if I hadn't, reading this would have made me want to go pick up something she had written.
Now, at this point, we have gotten to the first set of twins. A boy and girl who wereblessed cursed with being beautiful when they were born. Well, this probably would have been okay if they had been royalty or even nobles. Otherwise, it's really just a pain. So this tale is about the girl. She wants to be around books. Really can't blame her for preferring to want books when everyone instantly falls in love with your looks. So she gets her dream job and off she goes. Her brother has already run away from home. (It seems to be a trend with these kids.)
I rather like how she wasn't instantly turned into a frog. We got to see her try to live her dream. She wasn't even turned into a frog be taught a lesson.... But really, in the end, I liked how the lesson of the hour was about friendship.
