Review: Did not live up to its promise.

I generally enjoy books based on the "beauty and the beast" premise, and this one showed a lot of promise, but it fell far short of what it could be.  The story is rushed and has no clear sense of time.  I couldn't tell if the story spanned several days or several weeks.  There was no real development of the relationship between the hero and heroine; the hero apparently decided out of the blue to love the heroine, and that was that.Another disappointment is that the title story is only 39% of the "book." The rest is filled with excerpts from other books.  I don't mind a relevant excerpt or two at the end of story, but when they take up more space that the main story, it's a bit much.
