When Beauty Tamed the Beast
by Eloisa James
WOW! I LOVE this book!! Eloise James has hit all the right marks for me in this one.
I've picked up her books before because they were always cheap and cheerful reads on Kobo but "When Beauty Tamed the Beast" is the first I've actively made sure I bought because the story really appealed to me and it is worth every penny.
It's been a long time since a Regency Romance has had laugh out load moments for me - Julia Quinn usually hits the mark - this one DELIVERS. Some of my favourite quotes:
"...what's the good of poise if your neckline signals you're a wanton?"
"God Almighty, you're ruined, and you didn't even eat the gingerbread"
"...she had a hell of a bosom. Which is nothing more than a functional mammary gland..."
"I think I like ass. It ha such a round sound."
"That's when I said I'd go to the doctor. 'Cause I ain't been sinning more than is strictly normal"
Linnet may be a physical beauty but she is a diverse character with secret Bluestocking tendencies, dry wit and a zest for life. Pier's is big, gruff and intelligent and under his House M.D. exterior really cares. They have a wonder rapport and it's lovely to see their relationship get deeper. One of my favourite scenes is in the drawing room and they pretend they are at the theatre.
The supporting characters are great too from the Ducklings, Sebastien and Piers parents but my favourite is Purfrock the Butler who has some great sarcastic turns.
I read this book in one sitting and I'm looking forward to reading it again. It truly is a wonderful read and a shining example of Regency Romance done right!
