Missy Mackz Yes, there is romance in this book—but nothing explicit, if that is what you are asking. The main characters are married in the book and do kiss, and it is implied that they have sex, but nothing is detailed, which makes sense considering it is a Young Adult book. From when I read it, I admired the dark tone of the story and the romance, and I thought the author did a good job of balancing the two to create a uniquely mythical, Beauty-and-the-Beast retelling :)
