About this listen

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.

Horrible book

I’m so disappointed I actually wasted my money in this book, it was an impulse purchase when I saw it on sale just after seeing someone recommended it on Instagram.

Usually I absolutely Love romance & fantasy books they are my favourite, but everything in this book bugged me. The characters, the story, the overall writing 🤦‍♀️

She’s such a spoiled little brat what I couldn’t stand & im okay with age gaps but did she have to be an 18 year old sheltered virgin. No one wants to hear a love story about an 18 year old & a man who’s over 800!!! Early 20’s minimum 18 is barely legal and just so gross 🤢

His lack of communication is the reason the book ends on this stupid cliffhanger, for being over 800 and oh so powerful he really stupid!

The war they are fighting isn’t very interesting and there’s not a lot of world building or history about things. Like how those evil creatures were made and what do they want, do they have a master?

Maybe somethings will be explained in the next book, but after wasting hours of my life on this book today, I don’t care to find out!
