Why How Beauty Met the Beast and How Beauty Saved the Beast are Red Hot Reads: I'm fairly new to Steampunk-ish stories and although Jax's stories have that Steampunk feel, they're set in contemporary Austin, Texas. The hero, Wesley "Hauk" Haukon, is a scarred former soldier who embraces the Underlight society trying to find comfort and purpose. When he meets the heroine, Jolie Benoit, the life he's found is turned upside down. Through both of these stories Hauk and Jolie vow to be "just friends," which sends the sexual tension off the charts. The underground Austin setting--literally in the steam tunnels under the University of Texas--is novel and fun. This series will continue with more stories and has become an auto-buy for me. And at a price point of $1.99 for the first story (clocking in at a little less than 40,000 words), How Beauty Met the Beast is a great deal!
