About this deal

Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is the story of Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free—no matter how much it might hurt her. The heart of the story is undoubtedly the relationship between Lisane and Rhaim, but the author wove an impeccable plot around it, which stands out completely from other Beauty and the Beast retellings I’ve read. The elements of the original tale are peppered throughout the story in an entirely new light, making it impossible to predict what will happen next. I really enjoyed the important role of mages in this story, as well as the political intricacies of the kingdoms. After that ending, I’m sensing lots of drama in the future and I can’t wait to see it unfolding!

She is looking for a man who will devote less time questioning why there are walls around her heart and more time jumping, climbing, breaking, doing whatever is necessary to get through those walls. 14 Though we have to wait a bit for things to get intimate between the two, the tension is perfection. Despite the things I’ve mentioned above, there’s an understanding that grows with each passing day between Rhaim and Lisane. Their conversations lit my heart aflame, whether they’re simply talking or having a disagreement. I love the way Rhaim and Lisane bring out that fire in each other. I love the way he grows to want her but resists. I love how strong and determined she becomes. This is a read that dark romance fans will definitely enjoy! If you cannot swallow your pride, you do not have enough hunger for a woman like her; you are not thirsty enough for her love. 46Once upon a time, persuasive words would give her goosebumps, sweet nothings would satisfy her cravings, the keys to her heart belonged to thieves. But now she has grown to listen with her eyes, to only trust actions, to study behaviors and let time be the inspector to see what it will reveal. 15 Finx is the pet we didn't ask for, but now all need. Who knew mixing a cat and spider together would be so adorable. Also, when he made Lisane the most beautiful garments 😭 And then the book ends shortly after the final smut scene. No real explanation for anything that just happened during the turning point. I guess that’s Book 2, but it felt cut short. She can be difficult, there are times her words will be heavy with stubbornness, her tongue will be sharper than a new sword and attitude like a two-year-old. Aren’t we all difficult at times? Isn’t she human like everyone else? 22

And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there—the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since—I knew it was the beginning of my end. She desired consistency and substance that would quench her thirst for something real, loyal and with a passion that would feed her hunger for love. 27 If she cannot dance without care, laugh and tell you about the most embarrassing moments in her life. She is not yet free in your presence. She is inI’m obsessed and can not wait to start the next one. Just go in blind unless you have triggers look into them. This dark beauty and the beast retelling was delicious. I love mysterious plots that keep me guessing and wanting more. This morally grey character Rhaim can take me any day and anyway. Lisane has been sheltered for most her life but she’s a fighter for sure. As someone who doesn’t always read Fantasy this was easy to follow. The world and magic system I enjoyed. Now before you look at my spice rating the reason it is a one is because they don’t do the full deed. But let me tell you the intimate, dark thoughts, desires and punishments… JUST READ IT. I’m all hot and bothered… Very excited for the next book! The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage...We'd been running away from the Deathless . . . La storia è un retelling de La Bella e la Bestia e le vibes del classico si percepiscono dalla prima pagina, ma la scrittrice è stata molto brava a differenziare il tutto, portando ad un qualcosa di unico. The pain will come, let it visit, cry it out, vent it out, bleed it out. And then ask it to leave. Do not allow it to build a home and call it broken. We aren’t meant to be broken forever, that is punishment to our hearts and minds. 35

She’s everything but crazy. They’ve mistaken her passion for aggressiveness, her needs for silly demands. Her flaws were too much to handle and her love was too real to accept. 38 Protagonista della storia è la principessa Lisane, che durante un viaggio viene rapita e lasciata nelle mani di Rhaim, uno dei maghi più potenti al mondo. O almeno così lei crede… In all instances, we’re told, the reasoning behind the visions is the same: if you’re strong enough to be trusted with powers, then you must learn to accept the hand of fate, as surely as you’d earned it as your mage-mark.

Some quotes from the book and what it made me think: (I'll mark as possible spoilers but out of context I personally don't think they say much.) I found the worldbuilding and magic system to be intriguing. I was fascinated with this magical world and I can't wait to read more about it, and maybe even explore it more, in the following books! And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there—the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since—I knew it was the beginning of my end. Being a "Beauty and The Beast" retelling you can already guess the main elements you'd find here: the castle, the magic, the library, and of course, the Beast.

Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is the story of Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free-no matter how much it might hurt her. Note: The women are living like this because it prevents mages from teleporting in and kidnapping them. The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage…We’d been running away from the Deathless . . .She isn’t meant to be handled with caution, but to be loved hard. She is to be passionate about, caressed deep down to her soul and understood in her silence. 25 She did not choose to be alone; she simply chose to love herself more, and that required her to be the love of her own life, until someone comes to fulfill that position. 44 Things are moving slowly, so don't expect many romance scenes, especially not sweet ones. The story delivers a range of compelling elements, including tension, and sizzling interactions. Only people with big hearts like yours find love, those with small hearts cannot endure and persevere that much. Small hearts do not leave room for love when they’ve faced enough, They become storage for bitterness and resentment with no space for anything else. 19
