Duty and Love: The Last of the Heirs Book 1.5

This is the 2nd book in the Last of the Heirs series by L. L. Riley

This book was amazing! It is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. I love the story and how it differs from every other B&B retelling I have read. The twists this book gives kept me on my toes. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to throw my phone a few times, but that's what makes this so good!
The MMC is like green flags R'US lol. I immediately fell in love with his character. The FMC had me frustrated for a long time but after everything she has to go through and overcome, I came to love her.


Book Blurb:
Six Deities. Six Kingdoms.
Each monarch gifted one of the Maker’s abilities …
But one heir is desperate to rectify a devastating mistake.
Vivienne suffers through perilous transitions from woman to bear, a burden forced on her as the future Queen of Belmur.

She juggles her time between the two forms, grieving the loss of her mother, and relying on her twin sister, Marian, to help create a tonic to reduce the excruciating shifts. But when a failed experiment gets out of hand, her entire kingdom is forced to evacuate while she seeks to find a remedy.

King Beauvais of Torgem, Vivienne’s lifelong friend, is quick to step in and offer her support. But the king and Vivienne have a long history—a history of love, secret and forbidden, that weaves through their very souls.

And when betrayal comes from a place Vivienne least expects, she fears that saving her kingdom and her family will come at a great cost.

Can Vivienne push her boundaries and her heart?
Or will she be forced to rely on the beast within?
