About this listen

Fantasy and reality collide in this retelling of Beauty and the Beast about a young woman’s heroic quest to save herself.

Yes, I went to the woods to save my father. But I also went hoping I would be eaten by the Beast. Because I didn’t think anything else could save me.

Beauty’s life is the stuff of fairy tales. The youngest in her family, Beauty isn’t trying to catch Stephan’s eye. He is the lord baron’s heir, well above her family’s modest station, but when he kisses her hand at a party, Beauty is swept away by his charm, his wit, and his passionate declarations of love.

Hearts can be untamable creatures, especially when touched by the fires of first love, and Beauty doesn’t see the truth of Stephan’s intentions until it is too late. Until he stops asking for Beauty’s love—and simply takes it from her one night despite her refusal.

Beauty locks away the secret of what happened to her, and when her father emerges from the enchanted forest with a stolen rose in his hand and the tale of a vicious beast on his breath, Beauty seizes the chance to run as far from Stephan as possible.

She has some experience with beasts, after all. Certainly the one in the forest couldn’t be any worse than the one she’s already encountered.

Breaking the Beast’s curse might be the key to discovering her own path to healing—and finding the courage to allow herself to feel reborn.

This is an extraordinary retelling of beauty and the beast where beauty has lived through some serious and hard times, and beast isn’t all he seems to be either.

I appreciated the tastefulness and gentleness the author used to describe Beauty’s difficulties in dealing with an attacker earlier.

It was an entertaining and thoughtful listen.

Whimsical, magical, and captivating.

It was a great story true to the idea behind thetory while adding elements to make it original. I liked that he was willing to stay a beast if she needed him to.

Beauty’s journey through her story is a triumphant arc. She overcomes feeling alone and different, outcast, and even, with the help of those who love her, is able to also overcome horrible trauma. Lowham has created a retelling that is impactful and beautiful. I cried for the character as we learned of her past, laughed with her and Beast as they played with wooden swords and read books, held my breath as the fairy tried to trick characters and smiled with joy as the story came to its happily ever after. This story is definitely worth your time. I would love to read/listen to any other retellings Lowham may write in the future.

Whimsy, clean romance, and MC trauma blend perfectly for a retelling that will pull on your heart

I started listening while thinking that I didn't really have time, but I'd just see how it was. I ended up finishing it in just a couple of days. Great twist on the classic story, with characters each taken to their proper ending. I loved Beauty and passing this time of growth and healing with her. Excited to see what this author has coming next!

Lovable and captivating

This book was much sweeter then I thought it would be. I sometimes feel like certain subject matter makes for a heavy type of book. It didn't feel too heavy. It was very well told and there was a gentle sweetness throughout.

This was a really good retelling of the original story. The author really thought through the charecters and the story in general. I felt like this retelling actually made the original fairy tale make even more sense.

I really enjoyed this audio book.

Sweet and Thoughtful.

I'm biased, I haven't found a retelling I have not liked yet. This Beauty has more personality and flaws than other readings. And as most women in the real world, she experienced sexual assault. it's interesting to hear her thoughts echo mine in the stages of trauma.

❤️ Great story!
