Description from the publisher:

Isabel has spent her life being scolded for having her head in a book. If only she could find a way to help everyone around her understand her love of reading. She has no choice. She must bring books to her village.

Even if that means braving the wrath of the Beast of Blackmoor. If Isabel is ever going to get her subscription library running, she must risk the ire of the infamous man—and the owner of one of England’s best libraries—and demand he help her build her book collection.
But the Beast of Blackmoor has little intention of anyone gaining access to his precious library. This demanding young woman will not be getting her hands on his books…or anything else for that matter. Particularly not his heart…

However, when Isabel finds herself confined to this mysterious duke’s house, with only the knowledge of his dastardly deeds for comfort, she begins to find that it is not only his library that interests her. Aided by his kindly servants, she learns of the circumstances behind his beastly reputation. Maybe, just maybe, he is not so beastly after all.

When danger in the form of Isabel’s unwanted suitor darkens his doorstep, the duke must choose. Is he truly a beast or can he be the man worthy of love after all?

The Beast Who Loved Me is a sweet, clean, fairytale novella of 25,000 words.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE BEAST WHO LOVED ME is the second in the Regency Fairy Twists series.  Each stands on its own and is complete with an HEA.

(Humming ) tale as old as tiime....  The cover is obviously Disney inspired.  I guess we may as well accept that Belle – or in this case Isabel – will henceforth be envisioned in a yellow gown.

I have yet to meet a BEAUTY AND THE BEAST that I didn't love, but this one spoke to my heart in so many ways.  The characters are charming.  The story is sweet, quick, romantic, and fun.  It reflects any readers love of books and our desire to share them with others.

I love this series of fairytale retellings so far.  I look forward to reading more!
