SPOILER ALERT! This is a companion story that takes place after The Princess and the Fangirl. While it’s not necessary to read the previous book first, I wouldn’t want to spoil any of the details for you.
“In the third book in Ashley Poston's Once Upon a Con series, Beauty and the Beast is retold in the beloved Starfield universe.
Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills.
On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he's forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read.
When Rosie and Vance’s paths collide and a rare book is accidentally destroyed, Rosie finds herself working to repay the debt. And while most Starfield superfans would jump at the chance to work in close proximity to the Vance Reigns, Rosie has discovered something about Vance: he’s a jerk, and she can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual.
But as Vance and Rosie begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.” - taken from Goodreads.com
I drove right into this latest installment of the khans series and didn't want to come back up. Loosely based on the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, Rosie and Vance are charged with organizing a library rare Starfield novels. They are standoffish in the beginning but after several mishaps between the two of them, they soon realize that the other was the special someone from a night at the ExcelsiCon, the magic begins to happen. Fans of the previous two books will get a few brief glimpses of past characters.
