This is a new take on Beauty and the Beast. Rhys is considered "amazingly handsome" women flock to him and he can get anyone he wants. However, he is mean/rude and isn't afraid to express his contempt of woman not up to his standards. He later has a accident that disfigures his face and he goes into hiding. Danielle now considered a spinster isn't classically beautiful and doesn't really see herself getting married in the future.Since others already gave a details of the story I would just add a few things I liked.1.) Danielle wasn't considered beautiful beyond the moon and stars. Thank goodness!! I've read too many books where the heroine is so beautiful men step into a trance like state just looking at her. It was nice to have Danielle liked for who she was as a person and not just instantly from her looks.2) I also like that Rhys had to deal with his own issues regarding his image and woman weren't falling over themselves to be with him3) Friendship. Rhys and Danielle made me smile and laugh throughout the book. Because of their self-esteem issues they took on a friendship role that eventually turned into love.4) Danielle wouldn't give up on Rhys no matter how much he fought her.5) This book had one really intimate scene. It wasn't bogged down with sex scenes because they were having fun getting to know each other.What I didn't like was the small misunderstand at the end. This was all Rhys and if he wasn't so bull-headed and irrational it could have been resolved sooner. Not that is took anything away from the book but I wasn't need in my opinion. The book could have very well stood on it's own without the customary misunderstand that usually takes place between the couple.
