"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS -- When Beauty Tamed the Beast

Kristan's Pick:  When Beauty Tamed the Beast, by Eloisa James
Synopsis:
Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne is a Beauty . . . Naturally, she's betrothed to a Beast.
 
Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays everyone he crosses. And rumor also has it that a wound has left the earl immune to the charms of any woman.
 
Linnet is not just any woman.
 
She is more than merely lovely: her wit and charm brought a prince to his knees. She estimates the earl will fall madly in love—in just two weeks.
 
Yet Linnet has no idea of the danger posed to her own heart by a man who may never love her in return. If she decides to be very wicked indeed . . . what price will she pay for taming his wild heart?

Kristan says:  Great spin on classic fairy tale and modern TV character, beautifully written.
