When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James

This is my first Eloisa James, and if the book in its entirety were as sharp and fast-paced-witty as the first third, I’d have been in love. This book started so strong, with a compelling premise and plenty of cultural commentary zinging one-liners. I just felt once Piers and Linnet came together the sparkle faded in this story. Without getting into spoilers, the ending redeemed a lagging middle, and I enjoyed this story’s morals that come out of the big near-end drama. Overall an enjoyable read, but not one I’ll need to revisit.
