About this ebook

 Princess Anastasia Rose dreams of attending school, but her plans are put on hold when war begins between her father and the beastly lord of a nearby castle in the mountains.Prince Alistair isn't an ordinary dragon. He's a shifter afflicted by a curse, unable to become human again until he finds his true love. When a mortal king's adventurers trespass in Alistair's territory to steal a rare flower, the prince decides to steal a valuable prize of his own. Sorcha knows every inch of the forest, but a spontaneous visit to her grandmother thrusts her into the middle of a brutal conflict between shifters and an unknown force in the woodlands. -- As the alpha of Clan TalWolthe, Conall is obligated to protect his fellow wolves at all costs--even if it means his life. After the pack lands in the crosshairs of a huntsman with a grudge, Conall encounters a red-cloaked beauty who may hold the key to defeating an ancient evil menacing their land. -- Lady Victoria hungers for excitement, but how can she find it while cloistered in her cousin's castle? Encouraged to journey north to pursue an adventure of her own, an abandoned lodge seems as fine a place as any to stop for rest. Ramsay is a shifter without a mate. Overwhelmed by the responsibilities of becoming his clan's new Father Bear--and the female attention that comes with that title--he leaves on holiday to enjoy the peaceful, northern hunting lodge. Finding his bed occupied by a golden-haired beauty wasn't part of the plan, but claiming her may be.

Ratings and reviews

By far, my favorite versions of the old fairy tails. Forget what you think you know about Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood, and Goldilocks. These stories are true romances in the best form of the term. I can't ever watch the old Disney movies again now, but I think I'm more than definitely okay with that.
