Happily Ever After Book Club discussion

I am about halfway through this one and really enjoying it. Since Beauty and the Beast is so popular right now (thanks to the new Disney movie), I figured now would be the perfect time to read this one.

This is the first Steampunk I've ever read, I really enjoy it. It takes a little getting used to, I read a lot of regency and it is a bit weird seeing the steampunk stuff pop up, but now that I've gotten into the flow of the story I enjoy the uniqueness of it.

The romance is slow building, but great so far. The suspense is building and the whole thing has a wonderful gothic feel to it. I'm really enjoying it. Has anyone else read this one yet?

I read it last fall and loved it! It was one of those books where as soon as I finished it, I was racking my brain to decide who I needed to recommend it to. I loved the steampunk elements, the Beauty and the Beast framework, and the romance! It seemed like it could be a series, and I really hope that is the case!

I just finished it last night! Such a fun and unique read!! I want to recommend it to everyone too! I believe it is a series, it sure seemed like Daniel, Oliver (was that his name) and Sam should get their own books. It seems like I heard it will be a Steampunk Fairytale type series... so yeah, that'd be awesome!

I've been eyeing this one since it came out. Sounds like a good one. I was pleasantly surprised by this genre when I read my first book in it. It took a little bit to understand the world building but once I did(more so the lingo used than anything) I had fun reading it. I think you said something similar in your review for this book Kathy. I think I've read several B&B retellings recently without consciously realizing it. It's been fun with the new Disney movie coming out last week.

I always love a good B&B retelling! Maybe that'll have to be a poll question next. I haven't seen the movie yet, but hopefully I can find a time to sneak away. Anyway, this was a fun story - doesn't really follow the actual fairytale much, but I get why its compared to B&B. Fun read.

Anything B&B and I'm hooked! ;-) Ohhh yes sneak away and watch the movie (if you have little girls take them with you). We took all the girls for opening night and loved it! My sister went today with her girls and they loved it too! So good! I can't wait to hear what you think about it when you get the chance to go!

Julie I am the same way! I always enjoy a good B&B story- and this book has been on my list for some time. And yes, I went to see the new movie with my daughter and my sisters and LOVED it!!
