I don’t know what it is about historical romances, but even though they tend to be simpler stories—meaning, without too many complications in the plot—I really like them. 

The story starts off a bit slow, but once the attraction between the characters begins, I was excited throughout the entire book. 

It’s not a super original story; it’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and Hades and Persephone, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. 

It could have used a bit more physical interaction between the characters, not necessarily explicit scenes, but something more than just two kisses. 

Still, I loved the characters, and the scene with the wolves and Adam playing doctor to Persephone had me on the edge of my seat. 

I’m not sure if I’ll read the rest, but it was a good start.
