When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James My rating: 5 of 5 stars Eloisa James has done it again in this retelling of the classic fairy tail of Beauty and the Beast. Piers is the Earl of Marchant, an angry, bitter man who has a leg injury and therefore uses a cane. He's also a doctor. He has three "under" doctors, and one friend, in this case his cousin, who also helps him. If you've ever watched a certain show on FOX, this is sounding familiar to you. Eloisa James totally based the character of Piers on Dr. Gregory House. I love it! Linnet is the classic beauty, men want her, women hate her or want to be her, because she's so beautiful and perfect. But when she gets thrown over by the Prince, and she wears a gown to a ball that makes her look like she's expecting, her reputation is ruined, and no man will have her... until her Aunt shows up with an idea. Since the Earl of Marchant is reputed to be incapable of fathering children, and lo and behold, here...

Finished Shift. I had a few issues with it, but yes, it was a very good book overall. I have Kalayna Price's 2nd book in the series, just waiting to get the first. :)
