About this listen

Every curse must have an end.

Belinda Lambton knows a curse when she sees one. She also knows the wisdom of agreeing with a powerful enchantress. So when she inadvertently gets mixed up with a cursed Beast and his enchantress, she finds herself tasked with the role of Curse Breaker. That’s not an easy position, for Beast has reasons of his own to keep his curse. There’s also someone else determined to break it by whatever means possible and claim Beast for herself, and she doesn’t take competition well.

With wit, clean romance, and a touch of danger, Midnight for a Curse is a retelling of the beloved Beauty and the Beast tale.

Fresh take on Beauty and the Beast

Sometimes it seems really hard to find a new take on beloved fairytales, but this author definitely pulled it off! I certainly enjoyed her take on it, from how the magic and curses worked and came to be, to the familiar elements of the Beastly Prince, and Belle's hidden name in the heroine's (Belinda). I loved the humor and witty banter between Belinda and the Beast, as well as their slowly developing sweet romance. Also, while the library and reading were a given, it still surprised me how much the author's love for literature shone through (it definitely added a nice touch). I loved the setting of the castle, gardens, and villages, and even though the world took me a bit to understand at the beginning, it all added up beautifully.

The narrator did a pretty great job with the voices. I especially loved her Beastly voice as well as Belinda's, and those of the household staff. The saccharine-sweet ones were on point, and she also nailed pretty much all the nuances (from worry to anger, grumpy, devious, happy, excited, and everything in between). Still, there were times where the voices could sound the same during certain parts of conversations (even between Belinda and the Beast), but they were short and didn't pull me (too much) from the story.

Overall, a great Beauty and the Beast retelling that mixes all the beloved elements along with the author's own take on it. Recommended to fans of the author, as well as people looking for a Clean/sweet romance full of witty banter and characters that grow on you. ~ 4.5 stars

A fairy tale ending or a twist in the tale

I enjoyed this retelling of beauty and the beast. You think you know the story well guess again, as the author has added some charming twists to the usual tale. The main difference is Beast is happy the way he is, content with his books and the peace and quite. He doesn't want the curse broken but has to propose to a lady everyday, this leads to some highly amusing and clever proposal and witty dialogue. As well as a few fight scenes. You know the characters and although different still very much likeable. I would listen to more books by this author.
To get away from a very persistent mans advances Belinda begs for help from the only other person in the forest on that particular day. A cursed man, but just who is he under all that fur? An enchantress has put a curse on him and until her learns a lesson the curse can not be broken. The problem is the beast is content with his life and it is now up to Belinda to make him realise what he is missing or at least make him care about someone else. The curse is connected to a rose and as each petal calls down so does his time.
I liked the narrator and thought she really helped to bring this magical take to life.
