Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays everyone he crosses. And rumor also has it that a wound has left the earl immune to the charms of any woman.
Linnet is not just any woman.
She is more than merely lovely: her wit and charm brought a prince to his knees. She estimates the earl will fall madly in love-in just two weeks.
Yet Linnet has no idea of the danger posed to her own heart by a man who may never love her in return.
If she decides to be very wicked indeed . . . what price will she pay for taming his wild heart?
Loved the characters!
I've read this book a long time ago, but since the new Beauty and Beast movie came out, I felt like reading it again! In this series each story is a retelling of a fairy tale: Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, The Princess and the Pea, Ugly Duckling and Rapunzel.
Piers is a clear tribute to the main character of the tv series HOUSE. He proves to be an irresistible and sexy hero. Linnet is a strong, mature heroine, and it is very easy to identify with her. Together, the two form a perfect match for each other.
When Beauty Tamed the Beast has everything we expect in a romance novel, the plot is great, and the characters, well-crafted. For those who love historical romances, Eloisa James is a must read! An intelligent, skilled and talented author.
