Well, I really do, especially clean, romantic, mentality stimulating, and engaging ones. Beholden hits all the right notes for me. The quote I shared above sums up and yet barely scratches the surface of the emotions and actions of the characters of this book. Vilmar and Gabrilella have such care for each other and the others around them, they are tested and grow visibly as characters throughout the book. I was sad to see the story end. You have no idea how much. But I am hoping the next book in the series keeps giving my glimpses of these two wonderful characters! And lets not even start on this amazing cover!
I could rave about this book all day, but Id rather you read it to! 5 out of 5 stars for this beautiful retelling of Cinderella’s Story.

Okay, so I've literally just finished this and I'm crying those silent-but-painful tears because your emotions have just gone through the wringer. That last 10% or so was rough.
But from a way before that--somewhere before the 40% mark--i got bored, lost all interest in this completely. I normally love my escort/sexworker stories. Yeah, I know I'm strange, but I do tend to really like those kind of stories. But with this... I don't know if it was their past together or it just bored me but I struggled for a long time.
I must have felt something for the characters though or I wouldn't, even now, be crying over that unhappy ending to this part of their story. I'm also not sure if I want to read the next part. Will think about it in my dreams.
