Action packed romance

Im enjoying the single book story arcs. Im gonna check out the next book in the collection.

Great story

The books in this series have been great, and this one definately leaves an impression.
The narrator has also been fantastic up to this point. This may be a me problem but i have never heard "count" pronounced "cont" and half the book i didnt realize it was a title and not part of a weird name.
The story is an excellent continuation in the Damsels world and well worth the credit.

best of the series

certainly my favorite of the series. characters are all likeable except for gastele and 90% is more a long the lines of a cozy fantasy

Love this series! (Even if the author has a cruel sense of humor).

Pretty sure the author is just a tiny bit evil. Lol there's a very specific evil song that this book forces you to sing in your head coooonstantly. It is a song that will haunt you for the entirety of this book and after.

My brain will not shut up about it. The moment someone utters, "No one... ... like Gasteel." My brain goes off in a fairytale musical in dimly lit old timey pub. IT HAS TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE SONG BEFORE GOING QUITE SO I CAN FOCUS ON THE BOOK. Aughagh. Lol.

Otherwise a really fun book with an awesome narrator!!!

Dakota’s Beauty and the Beast

Beauty X Beast

Danielle’s blessings have pushed her to be a paragon of beauty and grace. However, this is not what she desires. She wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a tinkerer. The locals were annoying, but not dangerous. That was before Baron Gasteel showed up and gave her a choice. Serve him as a recruiter for the mechanical genius who built a robotic army or become his wife.

These standalone litrpg fairy tales are a blast! The litrpg version of Beauty and the Beast is my favorite so far. The Beast and his story is so interesting. The residents of the castle are just perfect. Emily Woo Zeller did a fantastic job with the narration!
