Publisher's summary

Samantha Sykes is a beautiful young woman, but her life is ugly. Her wicked stepmother, twisted with jealousy, arranges a marriage for Samantha with a rich, arrogant, and cruel man.

It's only the actions of her concerned father that save her from this fate worse than death.

Or so it seems, until she discovers that her father’s plan is to send her hundreds of miles away to Lord Callum’s castle in Inverness, as servant and cook to a disfigured beast of a man, hidden from all but those who dare enter his maternal grandfather’s home.

Which is worse? Marriage to a monster, or servant to a beast?

In this original Regency fairy tale, the classic tale of Beauty and Beast takes a decidedly romantic Regency turn.

A Beauty & the Beast + Cinderella Attempt

Overall Meh. Comes across as a beginner’s attempt at writing post Regency fiction. I listened to all of it and felt disappointed throughout. The characters are cartoonish, the plot makes little sense. The main characters are depicted as virtual saints whom God will save with little if any effort on their parts. The ‘bad guys’ are entirely evil with no redeeming characteristics whom God punishes in the end. The worst plot point is that the heroine’s father abandons his two daughters from the step-mother without comment at the end. I do not recommend.

A sweet tale for the young and young at heart

A new take on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, this version leaves out the magic but contains the other essentials: beautiful heroine, loving father, wicked villain (more than one!), and of course the beast, who in this case is only a beastly-looking man. There are tribulations aplenty, a happy ending for all but the evildoers, and an important lesson in not judging by appearances—all narrated in voices that are very easy to listen to.
