Search - Beauty

This is an ordinary, modern romance just like any other, except that the author tried to earn points by throwing in the Beauty and the Beast theme. It did nothing to enhance the trite dialogue and weak contrivances. The ending was particularly unsettling for me. The entire book is written first person from the woman’s perspective. Then all of a sudden at the end, he’s saying that HE wrote the book so we could know of her? Funny how he described a lot of events when he simply wasn’t there, and a lot of thoughts he couldn’t have heard. If you like run of the mill romances with a bit of sex thrown in, this book is for you. If you’re pursuing the Beauty and the Beast theme, skip this and try Robin McKinley’s “Beauty” or Mercedes Lackey’s “The Fire Rose”.

Another retelling of Beaty and the Beast. This version is modernised. I liked it especially the fact that it was told fron both Beauty and the beasts side. I likes the twist at the ending even though it was bittersweet.

A modern beauty and the beast story with a twist and surprising ending.
