Unless...
Plagued by a curse that will soon claim his life, the human-hating King Elliot will do anything to save himself. And if Gemma can use that to her advantage, she might be able to bargain her way to freedom. All she has to do is help him break his curse.
There's just one hitch-to do so, they'll have to trick someone into falling in love with the beastly, brooding Elliot.

Review
Curse of the Wolf King is a beauty and the beast retelling with a Fae twist. We have a broody wolf king who cursed, a young maid who wants to control her destiny, and the two are conspiring to live the curse. The curse has to be lifted by a human willing to give up their most significant treasure. A unique take on beauty and the beast that I thoroughly enjoyed and the lesson on how books play an essential role in our lives. The bonding between the wolf king and Gemma over a sorrowful tale was my favorite part of the book. I rated this at three stars as it was an excellent comfy read, It kept me reading till the end, and I like that the next one in the series will be about Cinderella. It did not blow me away, was not a page-turning gripping read, nor did it keep me wanting to dive into constantly. It just wasn’t awe-inspiring, and sometimes that ok for me; not every book needs to be five stars.
