Beauty and the Wolf by Marina Myles 
Series: The Cursed Princes #1
Genres: Historical Paranormal Romance,
Publication Date: Jun 6, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
A Union Of Curses

Isabella Farrington’s marriage was hasty. For all her new husband’s riches, Lord Draven Winthrop is whispered about, avoided, and feared. Yet Isabella is drawn to Draven’s dark good looks, his strength, the charm he can turn on as easily as she can blink. The impoverished daughter of an Egyptologist, she knows there are rumors about her, too, and the amulet she wears. Nothing more than superstitious babble…

But when Isabella returns to Draven’s remote coastal manor, she senses there is something more at work in the grim gardens of Thorncliff Towers than superstition. Draven is passionate and seductive, but he has a brutal, uncontrolled side too, and a history of secrets. To live in peace she must discover the reasons behind a gypsy curse and a mother’s scorn. Especially when she learns Draven believes his sweet young bride is doomed to a fate even darker than his own…


My Thoughts

Finally! A historical paranormal romance that is worth reading!

I was craving for some good paranormal book but was a little hesitant to read this one as I've never been a big fan of historical/paranormal genre. I'm so glad I took the risk because I had a hard time putting this down!

The story started pretty slow but it eventually picked up that I was glued into it! The characters are well written, love Draven- He's a tortured hero but despite that he has a strong character that I loved. My only tiny bit complaint is the heroine Isabella... I didn't like her character and had a hard time liking her in the book... she's naive, stubborn and it was annoying that she kept changing her mind almost about everything!

Overall, I adored this unique story! The title Beauty and the Wolf might sound a little cheesy but don't get fooled, this is not a typical beauty and the beast romance. The writing is flawless with great pace that flows right throughout the book. It's intriguing, thrilling, magical, romantic and solid storyline that will flood your imagination!

It's a wonderful paranormal novel that had me hooked right from the beginning! I'm pretty impressed with this book and looking forward to the next series!

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
