Wow! I enjoyed this retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The book is perfect and the writing is fluid. The story really touched my curious side. The world that was built is set back in time but that some magical elements to it. That house! I would love to wander around and open doors just to see what would happen.
The characters are fantastic and The real fun starts upon meeting them. They come in all shapes and forms and each one added to the story. Some are gruff, delightful or devious. I was held in awe as each one was introduced. Wondering who they are and what they can do.
Overall this is simply outstanding and I loved it. It left me with a smile of my face and lightness in my heart. The author did a great job with the world and the characters. This is my favorite of hers yet!

I have really enjoyed the Historical Fairytale Retellings from Byrd Nash. This one of course brings us her rendition of Beauty and the Beast. I feel like sometimes the retellings can become a bit much from authors all the time, but this was a unique version that drew me in very well. Nash really reimagines the characters into some awesome and fun to read scenes that are original feeling to me. I really loved that she kept Poppy very much as a bookworm and built from there. It made me feel as if I was visiting a grown up version of one of my absolute favorite Disney movies of all. I will of course be back for more retellings soon I hope from Byrd Nash.

Price of a Rose is a beautifully written retelling of Beauty and Beast This was one of my favorites growing up and this author as yet again outdone themselves. I’m a huge fan of historical romance and Fairytale so this is a perfect fit. Find out what happens when a card games is lost and daughter’s are traded away for a rose to the local Beast(recluse). I highly recommend reading this book there’s some twists but definitely worth the read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I have found a new love and that is the Historical Fantasy genre. Byrd Nash has such a descriptive writing style. Her words paint beautiful pictures in my mind’s eye. This book is written in the Late Victorian time period. The characters are fully developed and complicated. This story has the Beauty and the Beast fairytale story within its contents. I feel in love with this story from the very first page until the last page of this book. There were some moments that I definitely gripped my kindle a little harder. I would love to have been Rose. She is the middle sister of three girls. She works within the forgotten garden. There is a beautiful romance that develops within the story. I highly recommend this book for middle school age and beyond.

I really enjoyed this re telling of Beauty and the Beast. The characters were so easy to fall in love with and the story was very well done. Unless I just wasn’t paying good enough attention, I did not see it coming when we find out who the fairy is that cursed Sir Griffin, but I liked how she put him to a test to see if he really had changed or not. The character of Miss Amaranth really got on my nerves, I understand her role and she was very well and annoyingly written. I could tell that Sir Griffin was no in the least bit interested in her and was always looking for Rose. At one point in the beginning I was scared he was going to fall in love with Rose’s sister Lily instead. I really loved this story and wish it didn’t have to end, I can’t wait to see what Byrd Nash has in store next!

This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The author brings strong characters and does a beautiful job painting her scenes perfectly. Price of a Rose, the second book in the Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings series. Lily is the oldest and who has had the responsibility of running the household at a very young age since the passing of their mother. Rose is the middle daughter, who is a bit of a rebel dabbling in gardening, which is considered “man’s work”. Then there’s Poppy who is a book worm with a passion for magic. Byrd Nash has an uncanny way of writing, old-style with a fresh, new outlook.

Price Of A Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale by Byrd Nash is the second book in the Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings series. This is a sweet story that puts a unique twist on the classic story. This is a story that has been retold many different times in many different ways and yet this is the first time I have read a version involving 3 sisters. The story was sweet and heartwarming, a clean romance suitable for young adults and above. I found myself getting lost in the story and enjoyed every moment that I was reading it. This is a series that I have enjoyed so far and I am definitely looking forward to what the author has in store for us next.

Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 2) by Byrd Nash is a sweet fantasy romance story. This is a unique delightful retelling within an English Manor house regency romances and has a Jane Austiny feel. The story is witty, sweet and charming with a drama and is heart-warming with a little magic.
Three sisters are sent to live with a beastly lord after their father has lost them in his latest gamble. The story is full of romance and intrigue, magic and mystery as the girls each set about to help the Beast with the curse in their own ways.

Price of a Rose: A Beauty & Beast Tale (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 2) by Byrd Nash is wonderful. When your father loses a bet in a card game against the “Beast” of Thorn Hall in exchange for one of his three daughters, the sisters find a way to ensure their fate turns out to their liking. Lily, Rose, and Poppy each find themselves a job at Thorn Hall manor. Lily begins running the household, Rose works to reclaim the overgrown garden, and Poppy searches out books of magic while working as the “Beast’s” secretary. I loved hearing about the magic that has overtaken Thorn Hall and how the sisters have helped to save the hall, the beast, and others who were affected by the fairy curse. The sisters and other characters in this story make it so much fun to read! I’m looking forward to more in the Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings series!

Lily being the oldest feels like she has to run the household and take care of her sisters. Rose the middle child loves to garden even though its considered a “man’s work” and Poppy is a little Pippi Longstocking in her as she loves to read and magic! As they begin to make themselves more at home at “Thorn Hill” which is a character all in itself things begin to happen that no one can control! Read this wonderful retelling.

I enjoyed this shorter historical romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a story that pulled me in right from the beginning and held my attention to the end. This is one of my favorite genes and time in history. This author has created characters that brought the story to life and made it feel realistic. I had no problem connecting to the characters and picturing myself in their lives. This is a sweet romance fairytale story that kept me turning pages to the end. It is full of curses, magic and even some humor. I highly recommend picking up this book, you won’t regret it.

When their father loses a card game to the local recluse, his three daughters are determined to manage their own fate. While the oldest keeps house, and the youngest finds magic in the library, it is the middle daughter, Rose, who may unlock his heart. But can she defeat a fairy queen’s curse?
A Victorian Beauty and Beast fairytale retelling, sweet romance, like you’ve never read before.
After gaining her B.A. degree in journalism in the year of the oil bust and 21% unemployment, Byrd scraped what some people called a living (she called it working starvation) employed as a reporter for a bunch of newspapers you never heard of in rinky-dink small towns.
Working the cop and school beat, she enjoyed the excitement of being underpaid by the sexist owners of newspapers while having her life threatened by a vagrant.
After her life wandered about, working as a museum director, horseback riding instructor, and kid’s party planner, she decided enough was enough.
Always writing, the many stories in her head are now given permission to fly free.

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings #1) by Bryd Nash
This is the first book I’ve read by Nash. The author knows how to capture a reader’s attention. I absolutely loved this retell.
Melinda is now living like Cinderella. She is working for the family that has moved into her home. When she finds that her friend from when she was a kid is coming home things change. The quote I chose for Melinda is: “Perhaps it would be best to keep your finery a secret? Thus the gentlemen can be amazed and delighted when they see you?”
Kaye is coming back to visit after his great uncle left him the house. He is coming back after all this time and he’s hoping to find a wife. The quote I chose for Kaye is: “They don’t know me or what I look like . Never wrote me letters until last month. I only agreed in coming here as I thought it might be a change from town. We couldn’t visit Birch Hall. The roof is still being replaced.”

This book reminded me of Georgette Heyer novels, a simple clean regency romance with a Cindrella twist. Though I admit, Cindrella twist was not necessary, even otherwise it is a lovely story. Melinda Wychwood was successfully running her father’s estate, until he dies, when unfortunately, upon his death, the estate goes to his distant male cousin Mr. Davenport. Mrs. Davenport has a young daughter and she detests Melinda’s efficiency and beauty and tries to keep her away from the public eye. Alexander Kaye Arundell, a childhood friend of Melinda, has recently inherited a fortune and is now everyone’s eye-candy. All the eager mothers are eyeing him as a match for their daughters. Arundell along with his friend Theodore Marlowe visit the country side with a a deceitful plot of their own. Will the ploy succeed or one of the gentlemen fall in love despite all his dislike towards the matchmaking moms process? It is a very simple story and told in a very pleasant way. It is very difficult to find a sweet clean romance these days, especially retelling a romance in regency era is not easy. Minute attention has to be paid to the costumes and the accessories. I finished this book in an hour and loved every bit of it. As I said earlier, even without the fairy touch, the story would have been equally beautiful. Hope to see more such romances from this author.

An original retelling of Cinderella set in the Regency period and with a fantasy twist this is an enjoyable and intriguing read. Set in 1816’s Regency England, Melinda Wychwood was allowed to stay at her family home following her father’s death as long as she worked for her cousin as an unpaid housekeeper. Melinda is shunned by her family as she has fairy blood but her wild fairy background along with a magical dress might just be the key to her happiness. This was a short novel and a quick read but it had me gripped from start to finish and I liked the unique retelling of a well known fairytale.

This retelling of Cinderella is set in Chipping-Worth in 1816 where Melinda Wychwood is a young woman of twenty four with fairy blood, but she is shunned because of it and when her father dies and her home is taken over by distant relatives, she loses her place and becomes more of a servant than a cousin and her knowledge of running the farm and household is either ignored or used and the credit taken by others. She has friends in the older women who live nearby with whom she shares tea and refreshments, they also recognised how she was treated by her family.
At the dinner table, the family are complaining about something as usual and when Melinda is asked about it, the explanation was as usual ignored and responsibility denied, so the conversation turned to the town gossip and finds out that their neighbours son and a childhood friend of Melinda’s, Alexander is coming back to visit and so the talk turns to new dresses seeing as he is a well to do and and a bachelor to boot, this takes the attention away from Melinda and her thoughts about him.
We next meet Alexander and his friend as they are approaching their destination and decide to play a prank on his family, they decide to swap places and pretend to be the other for the duration of their trip and bet on the outcome of it. Thus, unbeknown to those around them, they play their parts, but as their trip lengthens, it becomes apparent that Melinda is not as thoroughly convinced as the others, however, believes that it is because of the years in between them seeing each other is to blame, so when the opportunity to go to an traditional annual ball, Melinda takes her cousin to the dress shop in the local town and while buying the dress for her cousin is tempted with a dress of her own, however, she politely declines the offer before leaving.
As the ball draws nearer, the temptation to get the dress so she can wear it herself to the ball increases, as does her wish that her childhood friend remembered her, but will she cotton on to the plan and get the dress, or will she remain in a loveless home with family who treat her more like a servant? The only way is to read this short story and discover the magic within the pages.

This is my first book by Byrd Nash. I loved this story. It was very well thought out and so sweet. I buried my nose in it and finished in no time. This will not be the last time I read something from this author. In this retelling of Cinderella our main female character is Miss Melinda Wychwood and she has some fairy lineage to her. Our “prince charming” is a childhood friend of Miss Wychwood who falls in love with her all over again. Such a great book!

This is a well rounded story that has characters that are engaging and kept me turning pages. I enjoyed how they made the story fun, easy and entertaining to read. This is a historical romance story that has a game of deception and a magical fairytale. Which one wins? I highly recommend reading this book to find out who is the winner. This is a great adult/young adult fairytale you don’t want to miss.

This was one of my favourite retellings so far! The way she writes this story is magical and I loved it. I can’t wait for the rest of the series to come, it was a good story. I really liked that we have the regency period and it has the full beautiful ball gowns, chivalry, and proper etiquette. Melinda was a really interesting character and I love the interactions she has with other characters. It’s certainly a good story and when fairy blood meets tall, dark, and handsome you know it’s going to be good! Really enjoyed the book can’t wait to see where it’s going to go in the series.

I really enjoyed this story. It is another version of the classic story of Cinderella. I loved how it had the elements of the classic story, the orphaned girl, a prince, and lots of magic. However what I found endearing is that it is set in more real life situation. Although there is some fairy magic it contains more realistic elements such as the respect that Miss Wychwood had for her family who took over her home when her father past. Even though they treated her as a servant she was always respectful to them.

Such a fun retelling of Cinderella. This book was giving me Pride and Prejudice vibes and I was loving it. I like how two friends devised the plan to trick everyone to see how they would treat each of them based on their status. Melinda however was not too sure about the identities of each man. Melinda is smart, independent and a little on the rebellious side. It’s sad to see she has to suffer with her cousins and Aunt who treat her like Cinderella was treated, but she found ways to get around her orders. I like how Kaye, her childhood friend fell for her, and she thought she was falling in love with the poorer of the two men… Such a nice short and sweet story.

This is a quick read that encompasses a wonderful faery tale. It is easy to read and enjoyable. It’s been a while since I’ve read a historical romance. I was delighted in being taken back to a different time. The story moves at a fast pace. The character easily drew me in. While I didn’t connect much with the Davenports, the two guys seemed fun and I liked their camaraderie.
Overall for a sweet, fun read..this is your book! Who doesn’t love a little faery tale?

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling (Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings Book 1) by Byrd Nash is a treasure. Yes, I am an adult and yes this is a story for preteens. But yes, yes, yes, I loved this story. I loved this story so much that I will be reading the next one. It is romantic and squeaky clean, so I am so happy to give this a five-star rating. One of the things I love about this book is that even though its written for a young audience it’s not without challenge. Its not dumbed down its written as if the author has respect for the book’s readers. And with all of that it’s just a wonderful story. Get this book, read it, let your children read it.

Dance of Hearts: a Cinderella Regency Romance Retelling is the first book in the Historical Fantasy Fairytale Retellings series by Byrd Nash. This story was a great balance of historical, romance, and fantasy that kept me interested the whole time. I loved the innocence of this story and how parallel it was to the well known story of Cinderella. As a fan of both Cinderella and Jane Austen, this story seemed to be the perfect blend of the two. The author did a great job developing a really interesting storyline and characters within a novella setting. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
