First book for me by this writer. I didn't think this was a beauty and beast storyline.
Bel is dared to enter an old house that is supposedly haunted next campsite she was staying on as a young adult.
Samson is a werebeast that finds Bel sneaking into his house.
Samson takes Bel's virginity and that when he realises she's his life mate.
Now Bel is a adult and a YA paranormal writer she comes home to find out that her dad has picked a rare Rose that is worth 1.5 million dollars and is being sued. She goes to the house to try a resolve the issue and ends up cleaning for a grumpy Samson who had been isolated in the house and lands for years has been left feeling lonely and heartbroken that his mate ran away.
Enjoyed but could have been better and didn't think this had a lot to do with beauty and beast.
Good HEA

It was cute

This is the first time I read this author. I had this on my kindle for awhile and finally got a chance to read it. I am impressed of how good it was. The details weren’t over bearing and the author made you want to continue reading more. (Even though we knew the outcome before).

I’ll admit that I almost didn’t start on this story because the abbreviation BBW (big, beautiful woman) in the title made me think it was going to be erotica — all sex, no story. But then I read a teaser for the second book in the series and was immediately hooked. I’m a sucker for a good fairy-tale retelling, so I decided to give this one a try.

I was instantly drawn into the interesting world-building, which was painted with a very light but elegant hand (no infodumps here!). The author’s writing is a notch above most paranormal romances and I ended up thoroughly enjoying the story.

I don’t want to spoil anything, but suffice it to say that “Beauty” is legally blind and the beast is a werewolf. Expected and unexpected antics occur, the pages turned awfully darn fast, and I was ready for the sequel before I knew it.
