*ARC received from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review* 
 When I read the blurb and realized this was a Beauty and the Beast retelling, I was like 
 I love me a good retelling, so I was prepared for a romantic ride. What I didn't expect.. how freaking sexy this book was. 
 This retelling had a major twist because scarred Lorccan thinks Alainn is a robot. So for a good portion of the beginning of the story I was wondering how he could develop feelings for her, but I had hope and no one could tell me differently. 
 Since there is an AI robot, you know the robot is gonna go crazy and think she knows what's best for mankind. Robots are extremely creepy, so I was side-eyeing Rose the entire book, waiting for her to act. 
 There was action, a complicated back story for both Alainn and Lorccan, and a crazy robot. My favorite part was, of course, the romance. 
 Alainn breaks through the thick walls around Lorccan and makes him live again, but of course no love comes without tests. and theirs was TESTED!!!!! 
 Overall, a very good read.
