Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance

Product Information

The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage…. We’d been running away from the Deathless... 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 She is far more than what meets the eyes; you will not recognize how beautiful she is until you start looking at the things the eyes can’t see. 40 Rhaim, an 800-year-old powerful mage, embodies the classic image of tall, dark, and handsome. He's a grumpy man living in a floating castle (yes, you read that right) with Finx, his cute spider-cat, spending his days acquiring knowledge and doing experiments in his laboratory.

Lisane is the princess of tears and a bit of a brat, but damn can this girl put up with a lot sh*t. I admire the crap out of her for constantly pushing herself and her strength. I can't wait for this woman to burn the damn world when she explodes with power. From the beginning this book starts with a bang. It immediately starts with Lisane, the princess from Drelleth, being kidnapped & brought to the All-Beast, Rhaim. 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. And at the thought that they’d tried to take her away from me . . . I growled as I stood. “No man will ever touch you again, Lisane. That’s the only promise I can give you.” Again and again I had to suspend disbelief to keep going because the characters were all over the place. Lisane starts out fierce but for most of the book she seems meek and whiney, always scared and always reacting wildly that this new thing is either more terrible than the last or not as bad, and then changing her mind about it later.

Lisane learns that Rhaim has magic & wants him to teach her. Rhaim is hesitant to take on a pupil & with his reluctance he agrees to teach her. 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. 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.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… Desiring a man whose efforts speak in a higher tone than his promises, isn’t too much to ask for. 33

I didn’t know how to make any of that make sense, so I gave up on trying." This feels like an excuse to me. Note: The women are living like this because it prevents mages from teleporting in and kidnapping them.In the beginning, he was trying to punish Lisane and make her feel humiliated, but after a while, he didn't mind her being in his home. On the eve of their Ascension, every mage is granted a single clear vision just before they receive the mage-mark brand. This vision reveals the one thing that will inevitably lead to their downfall. Rhaim's vision was of a girl with striking hazel eyes and he had been searching for her ever since. Their fates collide when Lisane is brought to Rhaim's doorstep, gifted to him by her father in exchange for his efforts in the ongoing war towards the Deathless. Bend Her is the first installment in a new Dark Fantasy Romance series and is a Beauty and the Beast retelling ~ Seeing as Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales ever, I’m always excited to find new retellings and I was over the moon when I had the opportunity to read an eARC of this. I had high hopes for it and It. Did. Not. Disappoint! 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.

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. Every mage gets one clear vision on the eve of their Ascension into their full powers, right before they get the brand of their mage-mark: you see the thing that will cause your absolute demise. I loved how possessive he started being of her and judging by that ending, I'm sure we'll get some hot scenes in the next book. I had lived through centuries of violence, and no other creature had come quite so close to stopping my heart.She danced for me, beneath my onslaught, prancing like the proudest pony might, tossing her head as her ass swayed beautifully." I giggled, but I think this was supposed to be a hot scene. Another aspect I truly enjoyed is the world-building, especially the magic system. Mage magic is so intriguing! There’s a give and take to their powers, and years of study that go behind what they’re capable to do. La costruzione del mondo magico è la parte che mi ha colpito di più. Interessante la parte riguardante i maghi e come i loro poteri si differenziano, ma soprattutto la figura della donna, che nel cercare di proteggerla viene rinchiusa per tutta la vita al buio. Sono due aspetti che rendono il libro distinguibile dagli altri fantasy che ho letto e proprio per questo mi sarebbe piaciuto vederli approfonditi un po’ di più. This episode was considered somewhat easier to animate than others because there were fewer spaceship scenes. [2] Reception [ edit ] The sun and the moon take turns admiring her, the sun watches her rise, as it finds its way to the other side of the world to cover its next shift. The moon tags in to watch her sleep. 45
