Beauty and the Rake by Erica Monroe
4.0
It’s rare that I enjoy a book so much when I dislike the hero for nearly 2/3rds of the book. My dislike of the character given that the author modeled the story on the Beauty and the Beast tale, and it was his personality that made him beastly for those first 2/3rds.
So much to enjoy about the book. Both characters are flawed but transform as the story moves forward. The heroine is from the rookeries, the worst of London’s tenements, and as a result is fully aware of life’s challenges. She’s strong, suborn yet vulnerable. An excellent read. 3.75/5 on the romance scale
