A wonderful spin on a much-beloved fairy tale, Eloisa
James’s When Beauty Tamed the Beast is a 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.
Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in
a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays
everyone he crosses. He’s a Beast.
Miss
Linnet Thynne is one of the most exquisite young
ladies ever to grace London’s ballrooms. She’s a
Beauty.
But wait—there’s more! Piers is a doctor:
brilliant, lame, and impossible to get along with. There’s a
version of him on Fox TV, named after a habitation. Linnet
has been involved in a scandalous flirtation with a prince,
and everyone in the ton thinks she’s carrying a royal child:
she needs a husband.
Linnet estimates it will take two weeks—at the outside—to
bring the earl to his knees. Piers knows that he will never
fall in love, and definitely never marry.
