Goodreads Synopsis:
Journeying by
steam-powered sled to London's Frost Fair to perform, Tara and three
friends are trapped in a blizzard in the woods. A gruff, handsome
stranger offers them shelter-and wants one thing in return. Stories.
The travellers are glad to oblige. Their host, Rolph, is especially captivated by Tara's story of an orphaned girl raised by the Fae in the world of the spirits. Equally intrigued by Rolph, and aware of an electric pull between them, Tara encourages him to share a story of his own. When Rolph weaves a tale of a man who is doomed by his own folly to turn into a wolf at the full moon, Tara suspects there is more than a grain of truth in his words.
When the veil between the mortal and spiritual worlds is parted, and danger threatens, will Tara make the ultimate sacrifice to save Rolph?

My Thoughts:
I liked this story, It was basically a different take on Beauty and the beast and I liked it, Tara was a storyteller and told an amazing story and then Rolph told an equally amazing story, that left you wondering if they were the subjects of their story. Then the truth is revealed and you get a happy ending which I love! The only thing I didn't like was how short it was, I got the ebook version and it was only 92 pages long and I would have loved more time for the relationship to develop.
