This story was so cute! I loved how you got to reconnect with Darien, Elle, and Imogen. I was a little sad that we didn't get to see more of Jess though.
A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills.
On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he's forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read.
When Rosie and Vance’s paths collide and a rare book is accidentally destroyed, Rosie finds herself working to repay the debt. And while most Starfield superfans would jump at the chance to work in close proximity to the Vance Reigns, Rosie has discovered something about Vance: he’s a jerk, and she can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual.
But as Vance and Rosie begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.

Truth be told this is my favorite book in the series so far. I loved every moment of this book from the soft aspects of Beauty and the Beast to the romance. Rosie was bookish and I really loved her character and her story. We don’t really get to hear much from Vance in previous books, but I loved seeing him as a a main character and love interest.
