What does Beauty and the Beast and Brainy and the Beast by JM Cartwright have in common? Not much beyond the play on words, and the basic premise of two people from totally different worlds meeting and falling in love. The blurb lays out the bare bones of the story, but the storyline behind it is more like a three-course dinner-rich and satisfying. This hilarious tale follows the quirky romance of Henry Travis and Nick Shelton from the beginning, through the ups and downs of misunderstandings and reluctance to commit, to the end-admitting they love each other and starting their new lifes together.This character driven story has a plot that flows seamlessly and smoothly from the beginning right up to the very end. The characters are very down to earth, with flaws and foibles that make them very believable. The sex is steamy without being smutty, and the backstory is brief, but fills in the details. The author's writing style is hilarious, quirky, and original with a crisp, simple, and very eloquent rhythm. The story has its moments of angst, prejudice, misunderstandings, and tragic circumstances, but overall it is a very entertaining tale. I absolutely LOVED this book, and would highly recommend it to everyone.Trish's 4 1/2 sweet pea review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=12785
