Where to even begin as to how amazing this book is!!
I was feeling low and was scrolling through Goodreads, trying to find something to read. Not like I had shelves and shelves in different rooms full of books to read already but at that moment I wanted something different. So, with me being a plus size gal, I wanted something with a plus heroin and of course a muscular man, to boot, romance.
So, as I scrolled and scrolled, I instantly locked onto a very muscular chest with the word “Beast”, borderline between the man’s navel and his Apollos Belt….. Not that that was a distraction, I just love different remakes of Beauty and the Beast themed stories.
Big Fan.
Any who, I read what Goodreads had to say about the description of the book and it had me wanting more, well, convinced, on buying the book from Amazon. Within its few days of delivery, the agony was over. It had finally came and I was so excited to read it!
This book was indeed a retelling of my favorite story of “Beauty and the Best”, which I fell in love with the 1991 film version. Best believe I have found so many other retellings from books to movies of this classic tale. This book, by far, being my top five favorite of the retelling of it.
It starts with the main character, Ashleigh, who is a beautiful plus size woman, who, like most plus size goddesses, have an identity issue. She wants to “fit in” and be skinny but she goes about doing it the wrong way. When I say the wrong way, I mean the worst way possible. How? By not eating right and exercising to the point her own body gives up on her. Sorry, not going to give out all the details on her just yet.
Then there is Christopher, a LT. Christopher, a Marine! Who is nicknamed “Beast”. Which I thought, at first, was because of this man’s features and how he was described. 6’5″ three hundred and some pounds. Yep, big boy, the yummy kind. But the deformity was of his facial features, how he got them I will let you find out for yourself.
How the two met, is that they both work in a federal building, in the basement where the gym is located. Him security and her an analyst for the same company. Upon her accident, and him taking care of her the two were in separatable. He taught her how to take care of herself properly and she taught him that there was more to life then hiding in the shadows.
Now when I finally received this book, I made the mistake of reading it before bed. I started it and the next famous words are, ‘oh, just one more chapter’. This led to me. to. keep. turning. the. darn. pages! Before I knew it, it was five am!! I had to get up at six to be at work at seven!!! Yes, I did the responsible thing…….I called off to finish that book. Did I hold any regret to that….nope.
I love when I find a book that is simply a page turner. It’s very rare but I love finding them. When I do I keep them and read them over and over again. So, Pepper Pace, to whom I learned that she lives in the same state that I do, Thank you so much! I love, love, love this book. I hope to meet you one day.
