The eldest daughter is often doomed in fairy tales. But Bella—Isabella Beauchamps, daughter of a wealthy merchant—vows to escape the usual pitfalls.

Anxious to avoid the traditional path, Bella dons a red cloak and ventures into the forbidden forest to consult with "Granny," the local wisewoman. But on the way home she's attacked by a wolf—who turns out to be a cursed nobleman. Secluded in his castle, Bella is torn between her family and this strange man who creates marvelous inventions and makes her laugh—when he isn't howling at the moon.

Bella knows all too well that breaking spells is never easy. But a determined beauty, a wizard (after all, he's only an occasional werewolf) and a little Godmotherly interference might just be able to bring about a happy ending.

Review of 'Beauty And The Werewolf' on 'Goodreads'

Absolute twaddle. Not a single original, noteworthy, or memorable element in this book. I stopped buying her books years ago (this particular series after the first one), and getting this out of the library was a waste of an afternoon. Even as fluffy brain candy, this is less satisfying than cyanide-laced cotton candy. I am utterly mystified at the high ratings this book has.
