The Gentle Beast by Colleen Shannon, Paperback

Better than "very good" but not quite "like new." Gently read.

Synopsis:

Scorning the enemies of King George III, wealthy Callista Raleigh is kidnapped by a masked stranger who seeks revenge against her family and attempts to seduce her with his passionate ways. Original.

Review:

Taming the beast is an artful task. Not quite human, not quite monster, the beast is a sinister and sexy creature. As an alpha male, he is perfectly primal and completely desirable to the romance reader. Why? Because only "Beauty" can appreciate the "Beast." She is able to peer past the surface and find the true man underneath. If you like this fairy-tale, you'll love Colleen Shannon's clever reworking of the Beauty and the Beast myth set in Regency England.
