Welcome to Litsy!

The first book in the series that wasn‘t for me; just “nopes” all around. Loose retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That didn‘t stop me from finishing though!
Book 56 of 2024

I didn‘t know that The Hunchback of Notre Dame was ever a fairytale. I read the book a few years ago and it definitely isn‘t a fairytale either. Father Cade Frederíc battles with his commitment to God and the church and his desire for “Esmerelda”. Quite an interesting story. #SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

When Father Cade lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself ensnared, convinced she's using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can't eat. Can't breathe. Can't think unless it's of her.

And temptation is a devastating mistress.

She's his weakness, so he decides he'll be her demise…even if it means killing the only woman he might ever love.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned 😭🥵

I never thought that I'd have the hots for Frollo 😳 A dark romance twist on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, you say? Take my money!

An addictive page turner with a morally grey main character, a badass female lead, spice, shock factor, and Neurodiverse representation. Ticks every single box for me! I did find this book wasn't as smutty as EM'S others, but it was MUCH, MUCH darker. Her best so far. Check TW

Another smutty showing from McIntire. I never wanted to bang Judge Frollo, as he was a pretty insidious Disney villain, but this book made me more open to letting this creepy, pious, sinner-in-saint‘s-clothing weirdo hit it. It‘s not as steamy as her prior novels (it‘s no Hooked…), much less Hustler Magazine themes for this story, but overall it was still a good time.

This book! First off I love Emily McIntire and I was so impatient waiting for this one. She writes totally dark and adds her own spin and twists to her fractured fairytales. This is also going to be her last book for a bit due to her hands and fingertips being so sore from her chemo treatments. Still, knowing there wasn't something coming soon I still managed to inhale this one! Spicy, and dark questionable hero...yes please! #LittensLoveRomance
