Love's Enchanted Tales #3
Masquerade
It is said that a dragon haunts the woods between Windsmoor and Tannin, a survivor of the dragon wars.
Lisette Marchand used to live a comfortable life as a merchant’s daughter. But when her father buys a baronet title and insists on uprooting their family to the northern estate of Windsmoor, she finds herself lost in the tenuous place between commoners and nobility. As she struggles to tend to the keep as well as her sick mother, Lisette stumbles across a secret. A dragon.
The villagers fear him. His curse a constant torment. Yet a merchant’s daughter refuses to be scared off. Merek knows better than to believe in love or a cure for his curse. He’s certain Lisette is only pretending.
But when enemies conspire against him, can anyone be trusted in this masquerade?
A fantasy retelling of the classic fairytale, Beauty and the Beast

I really liked this story. Not as much as the first book in the series but more than the second one. I loved how much time the two love interests got to spend together before they realized they loved each other. Plenty of time to get to know each other and talk without a bunch of distractions or other people around.
I loved the personalities of Merek and Lisette. The plot was fun and everything was described so well I felt I could picture it perfectly.
My only complaint was that Lisette felt like a bit of a doormat at a later point in the book about her betrothal. There was a strong theme of "do what your parent wants no matter what". She refuses to leave her home when her father arranges a match for her that she doesn't want. Especially considering the fact that the man he arranged it was abusive (physically, emotionally, mentally, etc.) and her father KNEW that. The viscount also hinted that he planned on being sexually abusive as well with a number of his comments to Lisette.
Her determination that "God wants me to obey my father" and "God will take care of it" was a bit much because one I don't think God wants us to obey/honor whatever our parent(s) NO MATTER WHAT. The ability to donate half of the needed material to make a baby doesn't make one automatically deserving of ANYTHING. You don't just "get" love/honor/respect/obedience because you're capable of making a child. There's plenty of people who can do that and it doesn't make them a whole new person worthy of honor and so on if they do. In the same token there's plenty of people who can't have kids or who may not have had kids or you are not their child but they have earned the stuff on that list.
Point being, yeah someone had a kid, no that doesn't meant that kid has to remain in a bad situation because the parent says so.
Secondly, did it ever occur to Lisette that maybe this WAS God's way of helping her? God doesn't want us to just sit around and twiddle our fingers. Action. We need action. And Lisette could've left home and let Merek and the queen help her. But for some reason she didn't want that.
Now I LIKED the final resolution and the villains(viscount and father) got the perfect ending. But I wish we could've got there without it being because Lisette insisted on being inactive and hoping for the best. Heck, if she'd taken action the ending for the villains might not have been as fitting but
But other than her lack of action and the lame reasons for it, I super enjoyed this story. I think Merek's fiery, blunt, no nonsense personality balances perfectly with Lisette's laid back, calm, level-headed approach. It's also nice to think that Lisette will get to utilize her obvious talents for running a household in a space where she's respected and listened to. Gosh though I sure don't envy the pressure she probably encountered after stepping into Merek's world. Yikes, the family? The people? I wish her the best of luck. At least she has a guy that's clearly going to back her up.

Hero is verbally abusive and emotionally unavailable
Needs a Trigger Warning for using the command for to children honor the father and mother who teach God’s commands in Deuteronomy to praise the spiritual abuse of a father forcing a sexually mature young woman into a betrothal with a known abuser who constantly threatens to murder her because God supposedly wants her to “obey” her dad no matter what. Honor your father and mother means give weight to what they say, but they are supposed to be teaching God’s commands and God never said it’s okay to force sexually mature adult offspring into an abusive marriage where the husband will murder her. So, when her dad fails to follow God’s commands to protect her body, which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, then she is responsible for protecting her own body. It is not somehow super spiritually faithful that the heroine basically agrees to be abused and murdered because her dad twists Scripture to demand obedience instead of heeding God’s commands to protect her body or to refuse to put a stumbling block in the way of her murderous fiancé. Scripture says you shall not murder, so showing up to marry a man who says he plans to kill her basically makes it possible for him to sin. Presenting her submission to fake authority as saintliness when agreeing to be abused and murdered in marriage is not in line with the command to love and obey God first, who is not her father, and not in line with the command to love your neighbor as yourself, meaning her dad shouldn’t force her to be abused and she shouldn’t make it easy for her fiancé to kill her, means I can’t recommend this book. Jesus died on the cross for our sins but God didn’t make him marry the people who crucified him first. This book is a travesty of spiritual abuse portrayed as righteousness and if any young girl actually read it and thought submission to parental authority urging her to sin was permission to let herself be murdered or thinks ongoing marital abuse is somehow God’s will for her life then I would have a really hard time forgiving myself. The book probably won’t hurt people who know better, but it could badly misinform young girls or young women who haven’t figured out God’s Scripture shouldn’t be used as justification to demand their submission to abusive men or parents who fail to honor God in the demands they make of their children.

I was quite enjoying Merek and Lisette’s personalities and banter. But by the end I was REALLY ready for the book to be done. Merek is awful to her long past the time he should have wised up to the fact that Lisette is not out to betray him. And he NEVER apologizes. In fact, she apologizes to him.
Lisette is a complete doormat. Look, the author obviously (like hammer over the head obvious) wants her character to enforce the idea that you ought to obey your parents. I believe in obeying your parents too. But at the first sign of abuse of that parental power, that girl needed to run for the hills.
Lots of preachy speeches from one character to the other. Show, don’t tell. The characters have personal convictions and beliefs. Good. Don’t waste space on a sermon when actions speak louder than words. Villains can preach and donate meals to orphans. It’s true goodness when a character notices something small and fragile about another character and actively nurtures that part of their lives. Example: the housekeeper loves this fat annoying dog but thinks it’s a weakness to show affection. The master of the house does his best not to notice any displays of affection she makes toward the dog, because that would make her uncomfortable. Would a villain notice that? Would he even care? Nope. Bing! Perfect example of true kindness.
Ranting aside, if you read this book and didn’t like it, don’t give up on the series! Try some of this author’s other books like Panther’s Bride. That one was really good.

Unique twist on Beauty and the Beast
The heroine sacrifices much in this version of the classic fairytale, but it differs in that the beast is a human under a curse to shift into a dragon and he doesn’t keep the beauty captive at any point. I thought this was a nice story and I liked the characters; however, both Merek and Lisette were infuriating at times. Mostly Lisette. Her insistence on waiting for Shaddai’s providence reminds me of the story about a man who rejects all offers of aid and dies in a flood waiting for God’s rescue just to be told once in Heaven that God’s rescue was supposed to be the human offers of rescue (helicopter, life raft, etc.). Lisette seemed so blinded to adhering to her father’s wishes despite they were morally wrong and her mother was fine with her choices. Her devotion to filial piety was extreme; honoring parents is good but you have to draw the line somewhere. Her father didn’t physically abuse her but his neglect and emotional abuse are enough. I can’t say I think much of Merek’s family either. In any case, aside from my frustration with the characters, I enjoyed the book. Plot did a good job staying well-paced with good tension building up to the final action. I’d recommend this to teens and older due to some of the threats made by Hugh (Gaston’s counterpart).

I 💛LOVED this one!!! The storyline, the characters, the faith, and romance was so brilliant on how the author wove everything together. I 💛LOVED Lisette and Merek's characteristics.They are a perfect match for each other. Lisette was starved for attention and yearned to be free of her father's choices for just a few moments. I 💛LOVED how she didn't see Merek as just a dragon, but someone who could also use some company. They both needed some company and someone that cared about them. Merek was tired of being lonely too and he did not know how to react to Lisette's courage. Merek was such an ornery character. I 💛LOVED how he told her the story about when a dragon gives someone something from his hoard, and then gave her something from his not too long later. It was so sweet and something Merek never thought could happen. I 💛LOVED the rose bracelet he gave her from his hoard instead of a rose. I thought it was such a neat touch to the story
I saw the complaints about her loyalty to her father. If you think about it and she did go against her father Merek would have an uprising to deal with. Her father would of ocaused the whole of Tannin to dislike him and it would of caused further strife. She did it in a smart way instead of one out of fear. Her bravery and Merek's strong will makes them a perfect pair. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

2.5 stars. I felt the dialogue was pretty simple and repetitive, especially the word "daft" (literally used like 30x) was driving me crazy. I didn't like how helpless and "obedient" and meek that Linette was towards her parents and the people in her life who abused her.
I mean Hugh is literally crushing her wrist at one part of the book to the point where she thinks it might break...and all she does is bite her lip and try and bare through it? And that was just one of many things he did. Like how about not letting yourself be treated like that and telling him loudly in front of everyone to get his hands off you while you try to physically defend yourself and get away?
I feel it was almost encouraging young readers to put up with abuse and turn the other cheek because that is supposedly the "godly" thing to do.
Mereck provided her with the perfect and gentlemanly plan of escaping her nightmarish fate and she decided to play the victim role instead and be a good girl for mommy and daddy and succumb to her fate like the docile rabbit that she is.
There were some good points about this book but I've already tired myself out mentioning all the negative, so there it is

What a great retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a unique twist!
What a unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Although it is a Retelling it is also a unique story with two wonderful well developed main characters. I absolutely loved the witty banter between Lisette and Merek. And I also liked that they didn't instantly fell in love like most couples do but their friendship grew over time into something more. But at times I wanted them to be more intimate and confessed their love for each other but they were both so stubborn. I also liked the fact that Lisette was a very confident women who believe in herself and her ability as a healer even though her father didn't have her best interest at heart she respected her father and was obedient towards him and tried to better the situation she was in. And Merek even though he was conflicted with whether Lisette intentions were true or not he admires her free spirit and confidence. And his Curse! I didn't expect that ! This definitely a page turner! Well make sure to read the rest of books in this series!

This was a heart wrenching story. Two people who want to be loved. One is suffering from a curse placed on his great-grandfather, and the other is under the thumb of a father who has gone mad with ambition, and she is the tool to his getting what he wants. She loves Shaddai and despite what it could cost her, she is going to be obedient to him and to her parents. He is struggling with his faith, but he has her to help him find his way again. Things go terribly wrong near the end of the story and it's time to decide who he is going to trust in. There is humor and tenderness as well as some suspense, oh, and romance too!
There is one word at about 70% that I went back and forth with myself as to whether it was used legitimately. It is part of a common phrase, but I've also heard the phrase used with another word... something be hanged! I would have much rather read that than the other word! Other than that one word, the story was clean.

The take on Beauty and the Beast of this retelling is quite original.
The set reminds pretty much of medieval Scotland with its keeps and harsh life.
The Beast here it's a dragon SPOILER [by day and a man by night]], and here there is the thing that nags me the most.
I like very much the idea of the gruff dragon and the sweet maiden, it's done well the relationship between the two, the banter and very enjoyable, but.
But the author seems to not have a good idea of dragon anatomy and if she does have it, she's pretty bad at conveying it.
Most of the book works fine nonetheless, but the scenes in which the dragon is fisically involved are quite confusing because if you try to picture him and the dynamics of his moving in the surrounding, everything becomes jumbled.
But apart for that I've enjoyed the reading of it.
I admit à World have been more disappointed if it was not a kindled unlimited and I have pauvre the full price or an e book at worst a paperback.

I absolutely loved this book. The premise/storyline was interesting and paced well. The characters were also quite fun. A grump dragon, an accepting girl, and villains you can really hate. The curse was interesting too, especially it being a delayed family line thing.
You may ask why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 if I loved it so much and I have to admit it's because it came off preachy. There were times when I thought I was listening to missionaries rather than reading a book, the name of the God was different but it read as preaching religion. If Lisette had used common decency or faith in people instead of God, or even her history with him up to that point (because for me someone's decency is shown through their actions NOT their religion) as reasons to believe it would have been a straight-up 5 for me.
Don't get me wrong it was not so bad I couldn't finish the book, and other than the preaching I enjoyed the book but I will not reread it knowing the preaching is there and for me, a 5 star is a rereader.

Clean Christian fairytale read
Wow, I really enjoyed this book. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the book had a good flow and charming plot. It had a steady pacing and the romance was spot on. Definently a YA read but those are my favorite and I adore that its clean
I don't feel like I have to leave my conscious at the door when I read one of Kimberly A Roger's stories. God bless her for that. Silver fire is a bit rough around the edges but he has legitimate reasons and he is a dragon. At heart he's truly a softy, and Lesette was a delightful main character, shes easy to route for.

Contains: some violence, “fake” religious references that seem heavily influenced by Christianity. I found this retelling of Beauty and the Beast interesting. Instead of Lisette being the beast’s captive, she visits him of her own volition. I found her dad to be a little much and her blind faith that “Shaddai will provide a way” (when he was clearly already providing a way for her escape) to be a bit over the top as well. Last note, the word Masquerade is in text of the book 14 times. I don’t mind hinting to a title one or twice but 14 seemed excessive.

Best story of the series so far
Oh, this was really good! I LOVE Lisette (with the possible exception of her name); she has fire and spunk and compassion and faith. I'm also really pleased that we really got to see the relationship between merek and Lisette develop slowly - no insta-love, but also not a whole bunch of hate-then-love, and also no Stockholm syndrome either. I think this is my favourite of the series so far.

I am such a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings. The biggest complaint I hear about B&tB is that the romance is really just Stockholm syndrome. One reason this story succeeds so well is that plot point is taken out. I appreciate an author that can reimagine such a classic fairy tale and make it better as Ms. Rogers has done. The writing is fantastic and evokes a lot of strong, genuine emotion. Great world building and characters. Well done.

Dragons and Beauty and the Beast
Combining dragons and Beauty and the Beast in a flawless way, I absolutely loved this story! The characters are great and the story is so fun. After how much I loved the first book, I wasn’t sure how the others would live up. This one definitely did!

Slow begining, great story
For me it took a while to get into the story, but once I did it was great! Loved the premise, and I was surprised by some of the twists and reveals! Definitely enjoyed this book, and will likely reread it and will definitely recommend it to others!

Sweet romance
This was a great fairytale retelling with fantastic symbolism and A DRAGON! The romance was sweet and clean, with mild thematic violence that would lead me to rate this as PG.

Faith, hope and love .. for a dragon?
Another wonderful, meaningful tale, full of twists and turns after a young woman discovers a cursed dragon in the woods near her new home... well worth reading!

Love this book
What a refreshing experience to read a new take on an old tale.
I would read this story again. The hero is not always who you expect, nor is the villain.
