Lady Kathryn's father sends her to court to find a husband, but being penniless and disinterested doesn't bode well for her success. Bored by the petty intrigues of court, her frustration and loneliness are eased when the king charges her with the care of his newest acquisition: a wolf he and his hunters have recently captured. What the king doesn't realize is his remarkable pet was once Gabriel, his favorite knight, cursed into wolf form by an unfaithful wife. The beast's uncanny intelligence and human-like behavior convince Kathryn that he is more than what he seems. Resolving to help him, she doesn't count on the greatest obstacle being Gabriel himself. The longer he stays in wolf form as a captive of the court, the harder it becomes for him to remember his humanity and to fight his wolfish urges to maim and kill. Only Kathryn's affection and determination stand between Gabriel the wolf and Gabriel the man. But when the one who betrayed him returns to court, will Kathryn's love be enough to keep Gabriel from exacting a brutish revenge that will condemn the wolf to death? Praise for The Beauty's Beast: ..".a page-turner fairytale for the adult (or younger!) dreamer....I really enjoyed this tale! All of the main characters get a voice and have problems that they iron out through communication and truth AND in asides outside of the main two characters' issues. Gabriel is, honestly, even more loveable as a wolf as he tries to become the man Kathryn believe him to still be (maybe it's the fur?), and I can definitely see myself in Kathryn, a very practical, witty, and compassionate handmaiden to the new queen (i.e. think a more demur, non-glamorous, and 16th Century Jennifer Cruisie heroine). How can you not like a book with a cheeky protagonist and a noble gentle-... were?" 4 Stars from Night Owl Reviews "Very well written...I highly recommend this book..." 5 Tea Cups from Happily Ever After Reviews… (mere)

An imaginative retelling of a favorite fairy tale, "The Beauty's Beast" is both compelling and entertaining. Author E.D. Walker tells her take on the tale in a descriptive manner, yet somehow leads the reader to also ponder what she is not saying, thus adding to the intrigue of the story line. Lady Kathryn de Remere's neglectful father sends her to the king's court to find a suitably plump-in-purse husband. Seeking to ease his gambling-induced financial burdens, her father cares little for the happiness of his own daughter. A fateful encounter with a strange wolf will change Kathryn's life forever. Spared during a hunt by the good king, the wolf with the soulful eyes and knowing, human expressions has deep, unexpected ties to the royal lineage. Is there enough of the nobleman left in the noble beast to save his very humanity? Will Kathryn's friendship and tender attentions keep the man from losing himself to the darker side of his nature? Can happiness be found where hope was almost lost? I look forward to reading more works from the talented E.D. Walker, who also writes as Beth Matthews.

I received the book in exchange for an honest review. The story was liked a lot. To see the struggle of the werewolve about how he had to think was very interesting to read. I also saw some similarities to the real world: it is not because someone is a bit different than you are, he should be treated as such. ( )

This is one of the sweetest romances I’ve ever read. It’s not the sexy kind that I love from time to time, it was just cute. I enjoyed that about it though. It had a kind of innocence to it that worked well for the story.

If you’re looking for a story with a hot werewolf who transforms occasionally to ravish the heroine, this is not your book. Gabriel is stuck in his wolf form, much like the Beast in the original tale. Also, similar to the original tale, he and Katheryn fall in love while he’s in his wolf form, giving them a relationship based on their personalities, rather than their looks. Though, I guess Gabriel sees her as a human and finds her beautiful. But Katheryn isn’t really meant to be beautiful. It’s like Pride & Prejudice or Jane Eyre. She’s plain, but attractive in the unconventional way that intelligent girls always are in books like this.

If you like Beauty and the Beast and want to read a book with a twist on the tale, this is highly recommended. It’s a very sweet story. ( )
