King Eric Thorsen, also known as Bluebeard, is once more widowed. Like all the others before her, his late wife succumbed to the lure of the curse that plagues him and threatens the realm. Willing maidens gather at the castle in the hope of becoming the next Queen. However, that title comes with a steep price: the King's new bride must first resist temptation for one year and one day, or die trying.
A fun and quick read.
Bluebeard's Curse was a fantasy romance with suspense and fairy-tale elements. The couple worked well together and Astrid was very relatable. It's listed as erotica but not what you would expect, the story is much bigger than the sex scenes. I'm pleased to say it ends with a HEA and doesn't have a cliffhanger.
A strong debut by Regine Abel. I hope she comes up with a steamy sci-fi next!
I voluntarily reviewed an eARC.
