The Whispered Kiss

by Marcia Lynn McClure

I should have wrote the review for this before I read [b:Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast|41424|Beauty A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast|Robin McKinley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1294192311l/41424._SY75_.jpg|2321285] because I'm fairly sure I'm mixing them up. So disregard anything that sounds off.

I liked Coquette although I hated her name. And it irritated me how she proceeded to ignore the selfishness and callousness of her family for so long. I really liked Valor and the relationship that developed between them. I enjoyed that they had a previous relationship. I felt that really added something to the story. The back and forth between Valor and Coquette was amusing and I found myself cheering Coquette on as she pulled one over him.

This book wasn't without its problems but overall it was a very enjoyable read.
