A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
Great writing, without a doubt. The lead characters are not my cup of tea. The Beauty and the Beast theme is alright. I am usually averse to a mother heroine. But the book still snatched 3 stars from me. That is no small feat. Only Elizabeth Hoyt can make me read a book featuring a mother heroine. A...

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales and this book's take didn't disappoint. I really liked Helen and Alistair. I liked the incorporation of Abigail and Jaime into the plot and the relationship that Alistair develops with them. I thought Alistair's treatment of Helen when he finds ...

I really liked the relationship between Alistair and Helen's children, since I was a little worried that he wouldn't like her children and that would have been a big problem. I'm not really sure why I was worried, really, but I was anyway. I got a little annoyed with Alistair after he found out th...

Didn't know what to think and kind of bored with the book at the beginning but when Alastair brings a puppy home I loved just loved him. Abigail (Helen's daughter) I strangely liked. Usually I dislike kiddies in my books. Abigail added a different dimension to the story and was almost a more compl...

The Beauty and the Beast theme always captivates me. I think the only one I like more is a Cinderella story. But there's so much to be said for a strong man who lives a tragic life until something beautiful comes along to make him live again. I think the metaphor is even more important than the u...

My Rating: 3.0 To Beguile A Beast wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. It's probably because I had such high expectations of it since I love books about wounded men, but To Beguile A Beast didn't meet my standards. I love the idea of the beauty and the beast concept, but the theme didn't really st...

To Beguile a Beast takes a tried and true romance theme and does it justice. In this case, the Beauty is the fugitive mistress of a powerful duke, who takes her children to start a new life, not as a kept woman, but as a legitimate housekeeper. The Beast is a naturalist who was tortured by Indians...

4-4.5 stars. Great "Beauty and the Beast"-themed historical romance with interesting, flawed characters and a very clever resolution to the suspense element. Really, this story was very well done, and the sexytimes were smokin' hot. As always, I loved Elizabeth Hoyt's trademark fairy tale story that...
