He’s the billionaire Beast of Calico Cove, and I’m his sacrificial lamb…I mean, his new employee.
Malcolm Bettencourt is a recluse with a nasty scar across his face and a bad attitude. He has a bone to pick with my family over a loan my dad can't pay back, so to save our lobster business, I agree to be his live-in housekeeper and cook.
We have nothing in common, and there’s no reason to think he would want anything to do with someone like me. Except I can’t stop thinking about him, and he can’t stop looking at me.
This Beauty and the Beast retelling includes a grumpy hero, a sassy heroine looking to lose her v-card, and a Pretty Woman moment with a black Am-Ex. Oh, and an age-gap romance with someone who may or may not be her lobster.

I could understand the MMC and often wondered why he put up with her.
This was my first Hailey Shore read and I’m hoping this is just a character disconnect for me and the next book I’ll connect better with.
Narration was ok. I wasn’t a fan of the male narrator’s female voice….

I just get tired of starting these thinking I’m going to get the dual POVs and then find out there’s only a token minute here and there of the male POV
Samantha brentmoor is my favorite female narrator. Her male voice is the best.
The male narrator normal voice is great but his female” voice was absolutely intolerable, fingernail on chalkboard. Like a spoiled 12yo valley girl with a cold. A caricature of the most annoying female you can imagine.
Since the character herself behaves like a brat it makes it all the worse.
I couldn’t finish it
90% female POV; male narrator’s female = intolerable

Good story but….

The female narrator was really good. She did good with the main female character, but also did good voices for other characters including the male characters.
I have listened to one book with this male narrator before, and honestly I would not have bought this is I remembered that. As soon as he started talking during his first turn I groaned. His voice for the main character is a mix of breathy, bored and annoyed all at the same time, and it doesn’t sound natural at all. He didn’t do a lot of other voices during this specific book since the H is mostly reclusive, but I don’t like even when he does other male characters. But is female voices are horrendous! I physically cringe when the female characters talk during his narration. I will for sure not get any other audio book that he narrates. As much as I did like the story, it was hard to finish with him. It it weren’t for a good female narrator doing more than 50%, I wouldn’t have finished this one.
Cute story, horrible male narrator

He voiced her like a child. So whiny and immature.
I ended up just fast forwarding as much as possible.
The story line was cute. But I won’t listen to more from the series.
It’s like two different characters

This audiobook is narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Wayne Mitchell, and I enjoyed their performances. Samantha brings a playful, confident tone to Jolie which at times acts as a shield to her inner, more vulnerable persona. Samantha peels back those layers brilliantly as you learn more about Jolie and her desires. Wayne brings the grump and the broody to his performance of the recluse, tormented Mal. However, his female voice for Jolie wasn't always pleasing to the ears. Both narrators did a great job conveying the undeniable pull between these two.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of a Beauty and the Beast retelling romance with a damaged millionaire hero, a spunky upbeat aspiring chef, small towns, slow burn first times, lighthouses, weddings, debts to be paid, and a HEA that is fairytale worthy, then you will love Mal and Jolie's romance. I am looking forward to more from Hailey Shore.
Loved this Beauty and the Beast retelling!
