Bellflower by Amber Stokes

About the Book
Short Story Companion to Forget Me Not
Spring 1880
Annabelle knows only one way of life. Jacob knows only one way to feel secure. When their paths cross in a Western mining town, can they find a way for love to bloom?

Discover the story behind two hurting hearts in this short but sweet retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

My Thoughts
This review is going to be rather short, because this is a really short story! But it's being short didn't make it any less awesome! I enjoyed both Annabelle and Jacob's characters and while their relationship was quick and not what you'd call normal it was really sweet! I especially liked some of the things Jacob did and the fact that Annabelle loved to read! All in all a great little prequel!
