Representaion Toward Books Goddess of the Rose (Goddess Summoning #4)
First Line: "Once upno a time, when men still believed gods and goddesses walked the earth, Hecate, Great Goddess of Night, was granted dominion over the crossroads of man." I just keep enjoying Cast's Goddess Summoning series. They are such a different type of romance. I was particularly tickled reading this one because the hero is not a man, but a beast. This story combines the ancient mythology of the goddess Hecate and the well-known fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast. The beauty, Mikki, is a strong, beautiful, modern woman who is sucked in to the position of High Priestess for Hecate in the Realm of the Rose. The beast is based on the myth of the minotaur. He stands seven feet tall, is mostly covered in hair, has cloven hooves instead of feet, and horns on his head. He is charged with guarding the realm. The story begins with some pretty sexy dreams between the two, and things only get steamier once they meet in person. Despite (or perhaps because of) the species difference, the romance works very well. I enjoyed both characters very much and found their story to be both romantic and sensual. I'm starting to catch on to Cast's unique HEAs and I did guess how this one would end, but I loved it any way.

This was a very original Beauty and the Beast retelling. In other reviews I have seen people complaining about how much they didn't like the amount of pages this book dedicated to talking about roses. I must say I loved every second of it and is something I will miss in other re-tellings. Our protagonist, Mikado, is a very headstrong character and I love her. I love that beast doesn't have to change his appearance as well as all the mythological and ritualistic portions of this book. Somehow II wasn't that thrilled about this story at first even though it's loosely based on Beauty and the Beast but I ended up really liking it later on. Hecate wasn't that bad. I usually quite enjoy stories that show you how someone fell in love with a "beast" and it was exciting reading how Mikki embraced her needs and instincts, how she knew she didn't belong and how she ended up getting her happy ending. And now there is a new goddess. The sacrifice scene as well as the almost rape scenes were a bit

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD BEAUTY AND THE BEAST RETELLING! There was so much magic and mysticism in this book, it was awesome. I loved how Mikki was swept off to the magical Realm of the Roses. P.C. Cast always manages to bring mythology alive in different and innovative ways. I loved Mikki when I met her and I thought her erotic dreams of a beast man were quite unique. I really enjoyed the romance in this and I am super supportive of the message being about acceptance, love and trust. (view spoiler)[

This book was really weird but good. I guess. Sometimes it just dragged on and the middle was kinda slow but it was OK. I think the ending could have been a little better just like some of her other books but it was still satisfying. It was an easy read of about 3 hours.
When I first picked up this book I was actually intrigued by concept of the story of having beauty being mixed with Greek mythology. I really thought this book would be an interesting read but little did I know what a stuggle It would be to just finish it. I was immensely disappointed by how the book turned out to be. It was a really slow and boring read there were times were I would nod off to sleep while reading it. I have read many other books by this same author and was not disappointed but
