Mrs. Beast, or the Beauty who won the heart of the Beast, finds that being wed to her now transformed Prince is no fairy tale.  He's a selfish, narcissistic airhead who learned nothing from his beastly experience.  Beauty sets out to find a way to restore him to his physically ugly, but inwardly noble incarnation.  And here is where the story begins to lose me- Beauty can't accept that her princely husband is flighty and imperfectly obnoxious, but happy being himself.  She wants to change him to suit herself.  Thus the expectant Beauty begins her journey to reclaim her own happiness at the expense of his.  Along the way she meets about every famous fairy tale beauty there is, each miserably unhappy and deluded with her reality, and usually making everyone around her miserable, too.  Yes, beauty is such a burden.  After a while the shrill bleating of these empty souls overwhelms whatever point the author was making.  I read this as a free download and would recommend waiting it is free again if you're tempted to read it.
