Fairy Tales - When Beauty Tamed the Beast & Winning the Wallflower - How to Find Beauty When We're Beastly

This week, Wendy and Toni are reviewing “When Beauty Tamed the Beast” and “Winning the Wallflower” by Eloisa James!
We enjoy a Beauty and the Beast retelling, and it was great to have a surly doctor inspired by the TV series “House” for a beast! Linnet left the London life for the sea pool of Wales and for her betrothed, Piers, whose father claims he can’t sire children, so her compromised status was welcomed. The doctor could tell there was no ruination and had no desire to marry, but he finds himself in her bedroom in the mornings so they can go swimming. Their morning swimming lessons helped to bring the two heroes together because Linnet was one of the few who wasn’t cowed by Piers’s sarcastic humor and genius. When an illness spread the area, the only way to get Linnet to leave were hurtful word regarding her only externally beautiful. When he found her fallen ill and scaly, he had to find the right words indicating her beauty is beyond skin deep. In his own sarcastic fashion and his medical prescribed medicine, Pier found a way to show Linnet’s beastly complexion wasn’t internal and she will heal in time. Linnet received some sort of help from others to get through her illness and trauma, but she had to find the beauty within her boiled-lobster-self to feel truly her again. Join the ladies as they discuss how to find beauty when we’re beastly!
