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 too-knowing eyes and the way he understands and responds to her every utterance convince Kathryn he is more than what he seems. Resolving to restore 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 Katryn 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?"

Very Sweet
By Eve
First and foremost, the story is very much what the blurb indicates, so readers can know what they're about to read. That isn't always the case these days. And the story is as sweet as it seems. The author's take on the Beauty and the Beast story is original, and her characterization of both the heroine and hero is charming. Her choice of making the hero a werewolf was good.
I like the way Walker handled the hero particularly. Providing the wolf with an inner monologue that gives back story along with Gabriel's feelings for Kathryn is great.
The Beauty's Beast is part of Noble Publishing's Sweetheart Line, so don't look for any sex in this book. It's pure fairy tale with nothing but allusions to kissing, at most, except for an allusion to sex between the married king and queen in the story.
Overall, The Beauty's Beast is a very cute story, easily readable in one evening. If you like fairy tale retellings, pick it up and settle in for a sweet romance.

The Big GOOD Wolf
By Scott R.
***BIG SPOILERS - BEWARE***
Happened upon this by accident. Honestly, I hate the whole "Beauty and the Beast" theme. I saw the Disney movie with my friends 20 years ago and had "Be My Guest" going through my head for 3 years. (Oh great, now it's back). I almost had to throw myself off a cliff to make it stop.
But I do love werewolf stories. So I read the summary, took a chance on it, and read it in one sitting. It is that good.
This is not the usual werewolf story. The werewolf is not a wolf only at the full moon. He was that already for most of his life before his wife and lover pulled something nasty on him. Gabriel became a wolf for the next t 2 years of his life, as they figure out a way to trap him in wolf form so they can marry and get all his wealth (he is a duke and the king's nephew after all). He is desperately lonely, since he's a human in a wolf's body, and he doesn't fit into either world. But then Kathryn, the magician (whose name I can't spell), and the king and queen (of I think some part of France in the 11th century) all team up to save him. And yeah, they all pretty much live happy ever after (No shock, because everyone knows how this story turns out). It's the getting there that's the problem.
What I found especially refreshing about this book was that all the main characters knew that the wolf was Gabriel by the first quarter of the book. They then spend the rest of the book saving him. No angst of the wolf fearing that the people he cares about find out - he's actually quite happy, because they treat him like a man and a knight instead of an animal. Come on, the heroine even tries to sleep on the stone floor of the castle so the injured wolf can have the bed (chivalrous times would never allow the man to share a bed with an unmarried woman, even if he wasn't human). Naturally he doesn't allow that. Even the peasants and serveants throw away their silly supersitions about werewolves. It's a win-win situation for everyone!Except for the villains. Totally lose-lose there.
It's short, it's sweet, and it can't be put down. Now some reviews said they wanted to choke the wife through the computer screen. Nuh uh, it's the new husband that you want to strangle. I even felt a little sorry for the wife at the end - because a curse comes back on the caster three-fold (you'll see). Don't worry, everyone in the book gets what's coming to them.
Read it. Read it twice. And then read it again in a couple of months. You will be a happy. I'm glad I took a chance on a theme I didn't like. Now if I could just get that stupid song out of my mind...
