Ensnared By Rita Stradling

Hi Guys,
not my usual for Monday Share Day but It was either a review or a babbling mess of words.

Summary By NetGalley:

[This novel contains adult situations and is only suitable for readers who are 18+]

A Near Future Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Alainn’s father is not a bad man. He’s a genius and an inventor. When he’s hired to create the robot Rose, Alainn knows taking the money is a mistake. Rose acts like a human. She looks exactly like Alainn. But something in her comes out wrong.

To save her father from a five-year prison sentence, Alainn takes Rose’s place. She says goodbye to the sun and goes to live in a tower no human is allowed to enter. She becomes the prisoner of a man no human is allowed to see.

Believing that a life of servitude lies ahead, Alainn finds a very different fate awaits her in the company of the strange, scarred recluse.

My Thoughts:
So when I picked out this book the only thing I actually saw was Beauty and the Beast. I actually really love Disney and fairy tales so retelling's are my second favorite (Yes typical girl I know) Anyways Ensnared was far out there, futuristic, it was an ok retelling it had all the basic points, although I can't say it was my favorite, it lacked world building in some places, the characters were different from the original I didn't expect them to be the same, I did expect similarities, although there weren't really any except for the Beast. Overall it's well written and is way better as a stand alone instead of a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

What You Don't Know By S. Airplane

Summary: Couldn't find one! Tangled (Adult 18+) Fan Fiction

My Thoughts:
This totally ruined my views of Disney, it has lot of mistakes in the text but was still "readable". This is a FAN FIC (Fan Fiction), it correlates well with the original Disney version. It paints a good picture and its a great story by its self. Now what I personally didn't like was the way the characters were portrayed, Rapunzel in the movie was far from stupid in fact she read an endless amount of books and more than anything this really ruined that, it made her look ditsy. Even though shes young and naive about certain things, it felt like the author really tried to push that she was stupid. As for Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert I actually liked what they did with his characters they gave him a lot of background that wasn't there in the movie that makes it a much better story. Overall Its a well written fanfic,

Careful What You Wish For By Michelle Escamilla

Summary By Goodreads:
One simple wish can change everything…
Harley Simpson has one wish—to find Prince Charming and settle down. She has a dream job and wonderful friends, but something is missing. With her thirtieth birthday looming, Harley is sure being with her hot, smooth-talking boss Ethan Prince would make her life complete. Having just landed a major client and learning she’ll be working even more closely with Ethan, Harley sets out to celebrate with her friends.
On her way to the bar, Harley chats with a mysterious cab driver. When the woman asks what she would wish for, Harley answers honestly—she wants Ethan. But during her night out, she meets a handsome, blue-eyed part-time bartender and full-time teacher named Matt Garner. No, he’s not a CEO, but he’s the sweetest guy Harley’s ever met.
Note: This is only part of the summary as i think that the last bit was too reveling.
