What a difficult book to rate... 1/2 bleh + 1/2 awesome = ?A fairly faithful retelling of “Cinderella,” set in some vaguely Georgian/Regency-ish period, this is the story of Kate, a dispossessed daughter and Gabriel, a prince in need of a wealthy wife. The first half of the book reads like James w...
This book was weird. That is the only way to explain it. Too many characters left underdevoloped, a plot line that just kind of disappears, unanswered questions, and just strange dialogue. Nevertheless, I found myself hopelessly addicted to the last half of the book.
3.6I have to admit, my first experience with Eloisa James was not a happy one. I tried to read the first Essex book and I couldn't get through it.I promptly said I would not be reading her again.Until, I saw "When Beauty Tamed the Beast".

The romance builds nicely. And the secondary characters are fabulous. Ms. James explains that she took liberti...
A regency twist on the Cinderella story. Very James - with great banter and a fun story. There is one spot where they were talking about 'forking men' to protect themselves that made me laugh out loud for quite a long time.
Once upon a time..not to long ago. A reviewer named Rane came across a book, but not just any book- a book with a beautiful cover in shades of the fairy tale Cinderella. Now Rane has read many good things about this book, and the stars bestowed upon showed it’s favor to other readers. So taking a ch...
