This was an interesting sort of Beauty and the Beast retelling. Interesting because it had nothing to do with the "beast" but more with a man cursed to be a dragon and have no one love him, etc. 
 I liked that the main character Rhianne was strong headed and reckless, but she also had talent to paint, which ultimately helped in breaking the curse cast on Theran Blackmoor. The curse itself was interesting to learn about, especially with all the weird things that happened or were kept sercret from Rhianne once she was married to the Dragon and living in the castle. Although I did find it annoying the countless times they couldn't be honest with and tell their feeling for each other. I felt like a lot of things could have been settled and avoided if they had just talked it out, but alas. 
 As a part of a series, but can be read as a standalone since they have nothing to do with each other, they just take place in the same world/universe, but with different fairytales and stuff.
