This is a HR retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Yes, there was a library. Bitches love libraries.I liked it overall, but there were two problems. First is that they got together waaaayyyy too quickly. It didn't simmer at all. One day, he is angry and ranting about her and her kids showing up and she is freaked out by his horrific scarred face, the next day he is wearing a "World's Greatest Dad" shirt and they are all over each other. I just didn't feel it so soon. See? This bear gets it. JustThe third book in the Legend of the Four Soldiers series by Elizabeth Hoyt. My favorite of the series so far but I've really enjoyed them all immensely. Just one more to go. This one has a beauty and the beast theme. Alistair, the hero, is not a macho alpha type. He's a scarred recluse devoting his life to research and studies. Then a lovely woman, Helen, barges into his life to be his housekeeper. This is no light fluffy romance (which I do love) but a heart-wrenching and touching romance
"You're a whore." "You've whored yourself out" Oh yes my darling when can I next screw you.Yeah, no thanks. She never called him out for what he said. Too bad, the story had some good bones.
I am quite partial to the beauty and the beast themes. A scarred and disabled H with a tortured (body and soul) backstory- and I am easily hooked and reeled in.But I was not very keen on a 'mistress' h but she and her story grew on me. Her kids were amazing and steal your heart from right under you, especially the daughter- Abigail. The skirmishes and sex are exciting and hot respectively, as the unwanted housekeeper not only cleans up his dusty castle but lights his (long celibate) fires as
I am always a sucker for a B&B theme! I enjoyed this one and though the mystery of the Spinner Falls betrayal was definitely in the background I didn't think it took away from the series.
Awesome read...and a very heartfelt one as well. Helen Fitzwilliam was a kept woman. But now that her benefactor has thrown her over as well as her two kids, she feels she needs to get away...way away. So thanks to the help of a friend she is now on her way to Scotland to become a housekeeper for a man that has no idea she is even coming. With a spooky cobwebbed filled moldy old castle Alistar needs one in the worst way. Alistair is a man trapped by the scars on his face. Burned when he was
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 ugly/pretty trope. You shouldn't live only for aesthetic beauty. There is so much more to a person than their looks. And Alistair learns that just because Helen is beautiful doesn't mean that she cares
