This book was like an historical version of a Susan Elizabeth Phillips contemporary romance. It had the same tone and feel: Down on her luck heroine, hero with parental baggage who has vowed never to marry, lots of sarcastic, humorous banter between H/h, secondary romance involving older couple, and...
Aw! Another sweet fairy tale retelling with some humour and hot smexy times thrown in for good measure.This time it's Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is as gorgeous as she sounds; practically perfect in every way. Except that she's been ruined by rumour and scandal, and her ridiculous father and aunt i...
Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne had been caught kissing a prince, and now her reputation is in tatters, she is thought to be with child from the prince and now she is unmarriageable. Her father finds her an out, believing her to be pregnant, a match with a man reputed to be a bit of a brute and believed t...
An interesting, quirky take on the old fairy tale. Linnet is the Beauty, who was courted by a prince; but when a gown mishap made her look "with child", the rumors spread like wildfire, forever damaging her reputation. Despite her purity, her beauty damned her to all the mothers with daughters who n...
★★★★½ (This is a review of the audiobook.) I loved this one, narrated by Susan Duerden, who does an excellent job. I’ll be looking for more of her work. She is so good with the male (not easy) and female voices and the accents, regardless of the country or the social class. Ms. Duerden is very g...
Audio- wonderful tale of love lust and anger. The beast is a young Doctor with daddy issues and a physical injury that left him with a bad leg. He roars around yelling at all and happy with none. The beauty is of course a beauty that was used for her looks and tossed out of the Ton because of pregna...
Somehow I managed to elude Eloisa James until now (not intentionally, though), and somehow (again) her first book I read is the second book of the series (yeah, happens to me all the time). Not that it is significant for this story. If you are looking for a refreshing, not-quite-what-you-expect hi...
3.5+Well, I didn't love it. Ms. James strayed away from the whimsical, romantic feel of fairy tale that I expected after reading the first in this series. This was much darker. Of course, I know that Beauty and the Beast is a far cry from Cinderella. But this book was just a bit odd to me. The ...
With each reread of this title, it gets better and better. I fall even more in love with the gruff, yet caring Piers and understand what motivates Linnet. I have read this several times and I cry each time because it always touches my heart. Especially that scene where Piers realizes Linnet may d...
