What follows is a steamy, intense game of cat and mouse that somewhere over the course of the book blossoms into more. When Haley's father makes a behind closed doors deal with Leo Morelli, the Constantines' sworn enemy, Haley offers herself as an alternative to her father being figuratively owned by Leo. Haley Constantine is part of the 'outcast' sect of Constantines, meaning they aren't materialistic snobs and prefer to do their own thing. That said, I'm terribly interested in continuing on with all the other books to fill in the back stories now that I'm invested!Īs you likely deduced already, this is a BatB retelling, and one that stays closely on par with the original format.

I pieced all of this together after the fact, as this is the first book I've actually read within this world, and I found it completely fine to read as a stand alone series. Leo's brother Lucian has his own trilogy beginning with Heartless by Jade West, Ronan is featured in Stolen Hearts by M O'Keefe, and the Constantines have been spaced out over many books as well, such as K Webster's Cinderella trilogy and Becker Gray's Hellfire Club books. If you're familiar with the Midnight Dynasty collection, then you've likely met a handful of the characters featured in this book already. His older brother, Lucian, is evil in the way of all Morellis, but Leo is more unpredictable. 'Everyone in Bishop's Landing and probably all of New York City knows who Leo Morelli is. *in my best Moira Rose voice* 'Do you enjoy Beauty and the Beast retellings as much as I think you do?
