I liked this book! I know romance books are formula, and this being a version of beauty and the beast, even moreso. But I actually thought it read well, very fluidly, and it was rather fun, I really liked the heroine.I often find historical romances are 'heavy' -- like someone is still getting paid by the word, and the language archaic, and it's like everyone read too much dickens and spends 4 pages talking about what someone thought as they turned a doorknob (no authors but Robert Heinlein and Robert Jordan have ever done that to my liking) -- but I liked this one enough to come see if the author had other books. Now, I've read about 60 books since I got my Kindle (slightly obsessed perhaps) and I've only specifically come to find more by an author three times, for whatever that's worth.I saw a number of poor reviews here which surprised me. I mean I just finished reading probably a ton of other books with lots of raving reviews, many of which could have been written by a 15 year old who'd have gotten a barely passing grade for it, while this one is actually written well, and yet suffers far more in reviews. Go figure! So I thought I would post a review on this one. It's a nice read.
