Title: Bonded by Thorns
Series: Beasts of the Briar #1
Author: Elizabeth Helen
Four beastly princes. One awkward bookworm. An enchanted world of fae, magic, and danger.
I’ve always loved fairytales. I never imagined I’d actually be in one.
When my father wanders into the enchanted realm of the fae, I know I have to go after him. And when he gets imprisoned, I’ll do anything to save him… Even trade my freedom for his. I had no idea I’d end up imprisoned by four sexy fae who turn into beasts at night.
I have to win my freedom, and that means making a bargain with them. They must find their mates in order to break the curse. If I can help them do that, they’ll set me free. Sounds simple, right?
It’s not. Because against my better judgment, I’m starting to fall for these beastly princes. One is smart and sweet, the other mysterious and deadly, another flirty and confident, and the last prince… He’s handsome, strong, has a wicked temper, and is dead-set against breaking the curse. Why does he want to keep me here forever?
But it’s not just my freedom on the line. If I don’t break the princes’ curse soon, all the magic in the Enchanted Vale will be stolen by the evil—and stupidly hot—Prince of Thorns. And I’m not letting my princes stay cursed.
Not after I’ve fallen in love with them.

‘Four beastly princes. One awkward bookworm. An enchanted world of fae, magic, and danger.’
In this Beauty and the Beast retelling we have….
Rosalina – awkward bookworm (who really isn’t!)
Winter Prince – Keldarion
Spring Prince – Ezryn
Summer Prince – Dayton
Autumn Prince – Farron
The mysterious Prince of Thorns
Even though we’re treated to m/m and spicy scenes, the dialogue was a bit well, teenagery! But I’m shallow and easily pleased so the promise of more spice kept me listening!
I guessed at what the cliffy ending might be but I only have one question…..what does Ezryn actually look like?!
I think I’d have a hard time with teenagery dialogue in a story like this also, Caro. Glad the spicy times made up for it, lol!
