This is such an excellent book. I have no words. I loved the witty banter between Linnet and Piers. I loved how sparks would fly whenever they looked at each other. I loved how their relationship slowly progressed from indifference to mutual admiration to an all-consuming love.

Julia Quinn is my favourite Regency author, but Eloisa James may just have become a very close second :)

“Eloisa James’s writing is absolutely exquisite.” —New York Times bestselling author Teresa Medeiros “Nothing gets me to a bookstore faster than a new novel by Eloisa James.” —New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn A wonderful spin on a much-beloved fairy tale, Eloisa James’s When Beauty Tamed the Beast is heart-soaring and fun historical romance at its finest. No wonder People magazine raves about her books, saying, “Romance writing does not get much better than this.” Eloisa’s delightful take on Beauty and the Beast unfolds in Regency England, where a beastly, bad-tempered Earl matches wits with a brazen beauty who has vowed to make the handsome grump fall in love with her in two short weeks.

A smart and fun romp with a beauty who is "ruined" because she is rumored to be pregnant after being found kissing a nobleman and a cantankerous doctor who is rumored to be impotent after a childhood accident.

Witty banter, fun supporting characters, and enough sexy times to please. Classic Eloisa James.
