This was a cute, fun read that had me squealing (with cuteness) at some parts.The story was a great retelling of the Beauty and the Beast Fairy tale which is one of my favourites (even with the whole Stockholm syndrome stuff). While this was a typical romance, it was written well with great dialogue and banter. I loved that the heroine was not scandalized by all that the Duke said and could hold her own.

All in all this was a solid 3.75 if not higher.
