Acerca de esta escucha

Bend Her: A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance is the story of Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free—no matter how much it might hurt her.

The intro follows....

Lisane:

My whole life, I had been a creature used to candlelight.

But I wasn’t accustomed to my own breath hot against my face, or the rough feeling of fabric against my cheek—or knowing that my wrists were tied behind my back, painfully tight.

The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage…. We’d been running away from the Deathless...

And now I was here.

Wherever here was.

Tied up, in the dark, on the ground, with a bag around my head.

The very thing my father had been afraid of for me for my whole life—and the reason I lived in a gilded cage, only getting to leave the palace when I had throne-sworn mages by my side—had apparently happened.

I had been kidnapped.

Rhaim the All-Beast:

Every mage gets one clear vision on the eve of their Ascension into their full powers, right before they get the brand of their mage-mark: you see the thing that will cause your absolute demise.

Some men see snowy peaks or waterfalls, others bucking horses, and some lucky few see themselves with old and wrinkled hands, passing peacefully in their sleep.

In all instances, we’re told, the reasoning behind the visions is the same: if you’re strong enough to be trusted with powers, then you must learn to accept the hand of fate, as surely as you’d earned it as your mage-mark.

You need to know, deep in your bones and now scarred on your skin, that while there are things in the world you can change with your powers, death comes for us all.

There is no amount of magic that can escape it.

And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there—the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since—I knew it was the beginning of my end.

She had no idea who I was, or what we were to each other. She knew nothing about my fate or future with her, or how she was destined to kill me.

Which meant in the present...she was mine, to do with as I pleased.

And I wanted to see her crawling.

What do you get when you combine a moth, an all-beast, and a spider creature? A magical, dark fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Bend Her was my first book by Cassie Alexander. Fantasy is not my go-to genre, but I enjoyed this rollercoaster adventure. The characters were unique and the story is not overcrowded with a plethora of fantastical beings to track. Cassie’s storytelling is bursting with vivid imagery, dynamic characters, and pulse-pounding plot twists. I found the evolution of Rhaim and Lisane’s relationship captivating. Cassie’s storytelling is enchanting, steamy, and action-packed.

Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland were new-to-me narrators. Victoria’s characterization of Lisane’s demure princess-turned-resilient survivor was fascinating. Matthew Holland’s performance of the gruff, reclusive, seductive mage, Rhaim was compelling. Their styles and pacing worked well together and lent to the flow of this rollercoaster adventure.

Whoa! This book surprised and thrilled me! Yes its a take off the Beauty and Beast story with its own twists. It has the paranormal element and it is a little dark but I really enjoyed that storyline. The little touch of BDSM is okay but not my thing and it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story. Each character made me *feel* for them and just like each of them I looked forward to their time together. I want to hive a shout-out to Rhaim’s first magical creature as he was a delightful add to the story.

This does end in a cliffhanger but there is a snippet of the next book that appeases. I look forward to the next in the series! I did listen to this on audio. Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland did a wonderful job narrating. Ms Mei I have listened to many times as I adore her work. Mr Holland is a new to me narrator and he did very good with the changes in the all-beast

Loved this!

So, I’m a huge fan of Howl’s Moving Castle and this gave me more of a “if Howl resented Sophie a bit and it was 18+” than Beauty and the Beast. My only issue is that I feel like nothing really happened throughout the entire book. It was a slow burn with a bit of bdsm thrown in, but that was about it. No real plot movement, no major issues. Just her stuck in the castle and Raim occasionally coming around. Still, I was completely obsessed with this book. I’m starting the second now.

Felt more Howl’s Moving Castle

Very interesting story that keeps me wanting to know more. It’s not quite beauty and the beast, but its very good.

Interesting

Cannot wait for the next one. I absolutely ate this up! Suspense with a hint of “forbidden” love when you want something that is “bad” for you! I like a good bad boy… dark desires and impulses. Definitely can not wait for more.

Absolutely devourable

I really like this book. This book is my favorite troupe, enemies to lovers. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale. Lisane and Rhaim kinda excited me. This book had me hooked from the first paragraph. I like how Rhaim doesn't get forceful with Lisane. The narrators are new to me but they fit the characters perfectly. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out.

Great Enemies To Lovers

It's a great premise and the characters are pretty well rounded, but I could not get over the fact that she calls him SIR and I cringe every time.

She calls him SIR!!!

This story was so much more than I expected and I loved the magic world. I enjoyed the side characters and can’t wait to see what happens next. This author has fast become one of my favorites. Each book is so different from each other I love not knowing what to expect.

World building perfection

“Bend Her” is a spicy, dark and tantalizing Beauty and the Beast retell that pulled me in from the start and is a delicious dark retelling treat.

Lisane, a princess, is now the captive of the Rhaim, a mage who has been around for a long time. Determined to stand on her own and break free, Lisane tries to appeal to any part of his humanity. The two form a mentor/mentee relationship that is filled with lots of sexual tension.

This is the first book in the series and it starts off so intriguing. I was pulled in immediately and could not stop listening. I love darker retellings and this one is great. The tension between Lisane and Rhaim was delightful and I was waiting for the big moment. They bring out the best in each other regardless of how their situation is. The story does end on a cliffhanger but it’s a 3 book series so I was expecting it. I’m looking forward to the next part of their story.

The narration of this book brings it to life in a magnificent way. Victoria Mei and Matthew Holland were the perfect choices. Victoria brought all of Lisane’s fiery spirit to life and Matthew, new to me narrator, was growly perfection.

Great start to the series!

I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!! The slow burn and build up was amazing and frustrating all at the same time. Only frustrating because I'm an impatient reader lol. I absolutely loved the creativity in being able to take the idea of beauty and the beast and make it it's own new unique story entirely.  Love, love, loved it. Now impatiently waiting for book 2 . . .
