I loved much of Entreat Me. The characters in the leads and the supporting cast are strong and the relationship development is wonderful and touching. I also liked the Beauty and the Beast theme when it melded with a bit of Taming of the Shrew - a bit less so when shades of the Disney version bled through before the final climax.Where this worked a bit less well for me was the flashback scenes to the leading man's past - most of it was revealed to the the leading lady so in the later part of the book these scenes didn't really seem necessary to me (and slowed the story down.)Despite the nits, I loved the story of a cursed Lord (in this case two cursed Lords) and the women who are strong and open enough to love them anyway. Now, I hope Draven still writes the sequel she had in mind for Master of Crows - or heck anything else for that matter - I am sucker for stories with great character development and she has that down to an art.
