I do find it tiresome when authors don't make the effort to get their work edited. Self-published authors don't seem to realise they are playing on the same field as those from big publishers, and if you don't get proper editing you just look like an amateur, and readers will vote with their wallets.

I can't quite tell if I'd like this book or not. I do enjoy a good romance, but I typically prefer fantasy. I guess I'll just have to read a sample first!

I started the book and it was so intense that it shocked me. I was expecting something softer to be honest. but after reading the review I so wanna get to it. It makes me sad it has so many errors because english is not my first language however I know I will enjoy the humor. :techie-reference:

I like how you wrote the review. I learned some tips as a writer.
The sample started with an abusive scene. I would typically not finish the book after that; but based on the review, the story will be both a love autopsy and a learning tool for readers.

I'm not typically a fan of this genre but this novel sounds compelling with a lot of tension and a realistic depiction of how such relationships go through their ups and downs. The proofreading errors might serve as a problem for me, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Thank you for the thorough and honest review.

I am so excited to read this book! The plot of this book seems really interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about it being apart of a series, because I often don't like continuing the same story over multiple books. Can't wait to give this book a chance!

Good review, Miriam. I was afraid as I read it that you were going to give away one of the things I’m most curious about, but you didn’t. Yay! I enjoyed your summary of the book and am looking forward to reading it.

OMGoodness! This review totally makes me want to read the book! How can a "Belle" marry a prince and have him turn into the "Beast" and it still come out ok in the end, even a:
This story has a beautiful ending, one that is extremely satisfying but leaves room for conjecture.
I want to read it just to see how the author was able to pull that off! LOL

I must say this is an engaging review. Well written and analysed. The story too sounds practical and fascinating. Many marry in haste without knowing what awaits them. This has been let out vividly in the story. Congrats on being BOTD. .
