I received an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.

I really didn't know what to expect with one. I also didn't know this was apart of a series when I requested it on NetGalley. It sounded like it was going to be a cute retelling of Beauty and the Beast (which is one of my favorite Disney movies). While it was cute, nobody prepared me for Disney princesses as strippers! 

Did that shock you? Because it sure did shock the hell out of me! Once the shock wore off, it was good! Belle was adorable and was a walking encyclopedia and Vincent (Beast was his nickname) was so broody and I liked him. I was laughing most of the time I was reading this book, it was hilarious!

"Um, I know him. Kind of. What is he doing here? I whisper to Mrs. Potter as we both continue staring at Beast.
"I believe what he's doing is called reading. I've heard it's all the rage in this building we call a library," she whispers back.  

I enjoyed the relationship between Belle and Vincent. They both caused each other to grow and to want more in life. Belle ended up stand up for herself and getting some confidence. Vincent learned to open up because he was very closed off. As much as he didn't want to be labeled a hero, he sure was dreamy like one. 

"I'm nobody's hero, princess. And this isn't a fairytale."

While it's not going to be a favorite of mine, it was hilarious and was a good book to kick back with. If you can get past the stripper part, I would give this a read!
