About this book
I wanted her.
She was just two floors away from me here in my castle.
And some piece of her—naïve and inexperienced—wanted me.
The man who was doomed to die at her hand.
I could mostly ignore that fact, now that I was used to her presence, and my intermittent lust. But I wondered if not telling her about it was a bigger betrayal than not telling her about my arrangement with her father. If she did manage her Ascension—and when she found out what that meant—then she would know the truth.
That there hadn’t been a moment, ever since we met, that I didn’t see my death inside her eyes.
I could only hope that the shame of her learning that would be absolved by a second realization: that I had loved her anyway.
Break Her:A Dark Beauty and the Beast Fantasy Romance Novel is the second book in the Transformation Trilogy, about Rhaim the All-Beast, a cruel beast mage doomed to die at the hands of the woman he must protect at all costs, and Lisane, the sheltered Princess of Tears, who has been given into his care and who needs him to teach her magic so she can be free—no matter how much it might hurt her.

Bought for the wife. She said it was a good book. First one came with the cover torn but Amazon replaced it for free. )

The second installment for Rhaim and Lisane's story was equally as thrilling and attention grabbing as the first, and the conclusion to the trilogy could not come sooner. After the attack on the castle, we get to see Lisane grow into herself, both as a person and as a mage. She becomes a little less of a damsel in distress than she was in Bend Her, and figures out a way to find her own path in the world. I loved watching her experience the world for the first time after being imprisoned by her...

Much better than the first book in the trilogy. However the cliffhanger was weird. How could she be mad at the beast when it was her father who gave her to him and what she completely forgets that he would put her back underground, which she fault so hard to stay free and not even listen to his reasoning. I’m sorry but miscommunication and misconstrued motives are the absolute worst tropes. )

This one was better than the first, but seriously, ending on a cliffhanger. 😖🤣 Guess I'll have to crack open the next one. )
