Alainn’s father is not a bad man. He’s a genius and an inventor. When he’s hired to create the robot Rose, Alainn knows taking the money is a mistake. 

Rose acts like a human. She looks exactly like Alainn. But, something in her comes out wrong.

To save her father from a five year prison sentence, Alainn takes Rose’s place. She says goodbye to the sun and goes to live in a tower no human is allowed to enter. She becomes the prisoner of a man no human is allowed to see. 

Believing that a life of servitude lies ahead, Alainn finds a very different fate awaits her in the company of the strange, scarred recluse.

My review for, The Fourteen Day Soul Detox


REVIEW:
Wonderful!!
Oh, how I love a good retelling, and this story definitely fit that bill!
Beauty, or Alainn, was a perfect match for the Beast, Lorccan. The chemistry between them was undeniable. And with this Steampunk Sci-Fi twist, it made the relationship so much more interesting.
Like Lorccan's house.... seriously, this place sounds huge and what a wonder it would be in real life. 
Just like a good fairy tale, all things have happy endings. Everyone gets what they want in the end, and all is well in the kingdom.
I like that, especially in this story!
Majority of you who read my reviews will surely gobble this one right up!

4/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
