A monster and a reclusive scientist is what one expects to find in Frankenstein, not so much in a romance, but this is a tender romance between a husband and wife. I found it endearing that the author didn't follow the tired romance novel formula of "dashingly handsome man meets devastatingly beautiful woman". This romance was more beautiful because it was between a badly burn scarred man that most see as hideous and a woman who most see as plain and past her prime. Each of them sees the other as beautiful as they learn to stop projecting what they see as their own insurmountable flaws on their relationship and start expressing that love to each other. With a murderous foe lurking in the background, this book is entertaining to the last satisfying page.
