My only goal now is to win the help from three men—men I cursed into assuming the shape of beasts sixteen years ago…

My name is Belle.

After Kronos takes control of Delerood, my soldiers and I are forced to retreat.

Realizing the blow is a big one, I also realize the only way back into Delerood and through Kronos’ time-loop, which keeps outsiders out, is by returning to Castle Chimera.

There, I’ll need to appeal to the three monsters who live there, monsters known as Alder, Horatius, and Beacon.

But appealing to these monsters won’t be an easy feat because, sixteen years earlier, I cursed them to their vile shapes.

Not only did I curse them to take the shape of monsters, but I also cursed them to remain within the castle’s boundaries—forever.

To say they hate me is probably an understatement.

Yet, I still need them because they’re the only way to defeat Kronos.

Why? Because sixteen years ago, the three of them served under Kronos, hence why I cursed them in the first place.

While securing their help will be a feat, so is trying to convince myself I’m not moved by Alder’s rough touch, Beacon’s bitterness, or Horatius’ secret…

Belle is forced to retreat after Kronos takes control of her town . She is determined to get back and defeat Kronos but she has to go back and fix what she has done sixteen years earlier and face the three men she turned into monsters and ask or I should plead for them to not kill her and help her with Kronos . Things are more then what they seem and when they are together they are a force to be reckoned with . Will they be able fight their feelings to fight their enemy . They will be together or will the lies and the history keep them apart .
Belle is one of those characters that is strong but also scared of what can happen if she can't stop Kronos. She is feisty and actually very loving. Aiden' is well he is the alpha and he is storing up a lot of anger up for Belle . He is brooding and an over thinker . Beacon is hiding a bitterness for Belle but he is also sensitive and is a great soldier . Horatius is hiding a secret that could get them into the town and through the time loop. He is a sweet heart that is ready at the drop of a hat to fight the enemy. They are such fun characters that are well written anc complex.
This is book nine in the series and the author keeps it a fun read . This is a great twist on the Beauty and the Beast story , with Belle being a sorceress and the beast are actually three men . The author has created such a grand world where there is good and the bad that is coming to a big stand off for the world of Neverland . I read this book in a evening once I started I couldn't put it down until I found out what was going to happen. Each story builds on the one before to add up to the final battle . I was on the edge of me seat through out and there are some sexy times that go on through out . So if you want a fun series check it out .

Enjoyable

I admit my favorite is still book one of may be Goldie but this one is up there... I am always a sucker for a Beauty and the beast retelling even a dark one. I cannot believe we are almost to the the end of the series

A great story! I would recommend you read the books in order so that you can understand the underlying story and the names of the other characters when referenced. This book does not disappoint in action or smut. I like the story of Belle because previously I didn't like her and upon getting immersed in her story, I changed my mind. I'm so excited to read the next one but also a bit apprehensive as I know that will be the end of the series. You better believe I'm checking out more of this author's works.

Yummm!

My FAVORITE Happily Never After installment to date!

Belle's story had everything I look for in a RH. She is a fierce heroine...with just the right amount of softness. Her men are rough, angry beasts...yum right?!

Make sure you read this one!

Hellhounds await...

Belle...the "witch hag"... despised by the three men she cursed.
She goes to them for help and atonement and receives so much more.
One more story to go and this amazing story will be at an end.
The war awaits!

Another good book for this series! I enjoyed Belle, she was a fierce character. I only had a bit of a hang up with one of the sexual encounters that rubbed me the wrong way. Other than that, an over all good book.
