This was a really fun Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I loved reading about Beatrice & Lord Alexander Dunham as well as Rose (Alexander's pet Kitten / Dragon), she was so adorable. All the characters in this story were a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing how everything came together in the end. This story can be read as a standalone (I haven't read Once Upon An Apple or Once Upon A Cake yet) but does have characters from previous books so I am sure it adds another level of enjoyment if you have read previous books. I am also looking forward to reading more about Dietrich in the next book Once Upon A Pumpkin: A Cozy Fantasy Cinderella Retelling as well as learning about the girl he met that moved next door to his mother.
