Love is the ability to see past the beast to the inner beauty we all have

Linnet has become the talk of the ton in the most negative way. She has flirted with the wrong person who thinks too much of himself to not marry royalty. Linnet thought her overwhelming beauty and delightful curves could sway him but instead she found herself in a carriage on her way to marry a man everyone called “The Beast”. Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant was a gifted physician who is revolutionizing medicine, her to a title and a complete and utter crab. He had a childhood injury that required the use of a cane that Piers used to empower his ability to harass the interns and boss the patients around.

Linnet soon discovered Piers may have had pain from his injury but the deepest was inside from the father who deserted him and the thought that no one could love him. She saw past the barriers he had put up to keep himself save from any emotion but anger and the more Piers gets to know her the more he is sure she could redeem him yet he refuses to let her help him.

After enough time in the Castle with Piers, Linnet soon discovers that she can manipulate the household, dazzle everyone with her smile and help treat the sick. But when Piers pushes too hard and drives her away will he be able to bring her back into his life let alone back from the brink of death as she lays sick with fever. Is Piers strong enough to finally let go of his destructive behavior and become a man of character?

This book is wonderful, charming and turns the tale of Beauty and Beast into a fascinating read. I felt this also drew on the character of “House” with the tough outside and soft inside Piers who has a pithy remark for everything. The love between these two is healing and flows from every page, please don’t miss reading this book.
