Beauty and the Beast meets Taming of the Shrew in this laugh-out-loud and heartfelt Regency romance.
Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable Duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. Especially smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals.
But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself. And by offer, she means what no highborn lady of sound and sensible mind would ever dream of—a tender of marriage with her as his bride.

This was a treat of a take on Beauty and the Beast in a historical setting.
Astrid is a unique and entertaining heroine. I appreciated that she identified a solution to a the problem facing her and her sister and didn’t take no for an answer. It was a pleasure to watch her display her strength of ideals and intellect even when society made it less than fashionable to do so.
Thane, in the role of Beast, was a surprisingly likeable character once the author started to peel back some of his gruffest layers.
The evolution of both characters and their relationship was sweet to watch, even when there were heartbreaking moments as they learned to trust each other. Add in an excellent secondary cast of family, servants, a good villain and you have a truly fun read.
One of the sub plots for the story is the season and potential marriage of Astrid’s sister, Isabelle. I would love to see a book featuring her story in full.
