About this listen
Who could love a beast?
Plucked from her high society life, Beauty finds herself well-suited for the solitude of her new, humble home. However, when her father steals from an enchanted castle in her name, Beauty is left with a choice: Marry her self-absorbed suitor while her father wastes away in a dungeon, or take his place as the prisoner of a beast. She chooses Beast, hopeful that his keen, human eyes mean that he can be manipulated like any other man. She doesn’t realize that he means to keep her as a guest rather than a prisoner, and as her manners slip away the castle starts to feel like home.
But Beast’s curse is closing in, and everyone has an angle. Can Beauty find a way to keep her newfound happiness and freedom, or will time run out and destroy everything she loves?
Beauty and Beast is a cheeky stand-alone retelling of the classic fairytale.

Beauty's family, especially her father, don't come across as so likeable and I could quite understand Beauty being happy to get away from them. The only thing stopping me from giving this a straight five star rating, was the twist ending. I'm sorry, but without wanting to give too much away, I was disappointed. It was certainly original, and logical to a point, but it wasn't what I'd been hoping for. Having said this, the story is extremely well written and kept me listening well into the night, and the narration was a pleasure to listen to.
