Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne, a beautiful maid of the town, shunned because she wore a dress that made her look pregnant, is hastily betrothed to Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant of Wales, who is infamous for his beastly disposition. Susan Duerden delivers this new rendition of “Beauty and the Beast” with soft tones that are punctuated by emotional outbursts. Linnet and Piers do not get along when they meet, their personalities and emotions clashing like waves against the rocky shores of Wales. Duerden’s performance is flawless as she shapes James’s words into a vibrant story. Can Linnet tame Piers? The wilds of Wales will shape them both into a formidable pair. Duerden’s delivery of clever words, vivid scenes, and dramatic personalities makes this story come alive. M.B.K. 2012 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine

A wonderful spin on a much-beloved fairy tale, New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James's When Beauty Tamed the Beast is heart-soaring and fun historical romance at its finest.
Miss Linnet Berry Thrynne is a Beauty . . . Naturally, she's betrothed to a Beast.
Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, lives in a castle in Wales where, it is rumored, his bad temper flays everyone he crosses. And rumor also has it that a wound has left the earl immune to the charms of any woman.
Linnet is not just any woman.
She is more than merely lovely: her wit and charm brought a prince to his knees. She estimates the earl will fall madly in love-in just two weeks.
Yet Linnet has no idea of the danger posed to her own heart by a man who may never love her in return.
If she decides to be very wicked indeed . . . what price will she pay for taming his wild heart?
